Puff your chest out fat boy

How very proud must Michael Moore be of his "Heroic Insurgent Minutemen".

mind blowing picture. Says so much about who we are. Very hard to understand folks like Michael Moore.

Never violate a woman, nor harm a child. Do not lie, cheat or steal.
These things are for lesser men.
Protect the weak against the evil strong.
And never allow thoughts of gain to lead you into the pursuit of evil.
Never back away from an enemy. Either fight or surrender.
It is not enough to say I will not be evil. Evil must be fought wherever it is found.

It is too bad that this probably won't make it on to Al-Jazeera.

I stand corrected and even more pissed off than I was before. Maybe it is time for bad things to happen to Al-Jazeera.

That is ONE powerful picture.
Almost reminiscent of another terrorist attack.

The worst thing about that Oklahoma City photo is that to me the baby seems obviously dead - skin color, limbs hanging, etc.
casey, thanks for the post.

Not to me.
It could be dust. I'd pay the price to get him or her out looking like that, regardless. If it were mine, I would do it and make that trade without any hesistation whatsoever.

Sadly I remember an interview with that fireman and the childs mother that was given shortly after the bombing and that girl was indeed dead at the time the photo was taken. Both of these pictures have the same effect on me. As a father of two small children it me hurts to no end to see that done to an innocent child and the other part is blind rage towards those disgusting cowards who would target children. May the burn in the fires of hell.

Seeing pictures like that sinks my heart. Every ounce of me wants to kill those who would harm children in any way.
Here in KC there has been a case going on for 4 years. It started with the discovery of a childs body, a little girl who had been decpitated. She was no more then 4 years old, and they named her Precious Doe as they could not solve this case. It has been the topic on the national wires a few times, it has been featured several times on America's Most Wanted and so on.
This week they solved the case after a tip led them to the parents of the child. They had kicked her in the head and left her to die on the floor. When she finally expired 2 days later they severed her head and threw her body in the woods. I hope that little girl haunts them every waking day they will spend in prison.
Who could hurt an innocent child like that?
