Richard Jewel dies

Dead at age 44. Yeah, he was a buffoon, yeah he was a fat guy, but he was a guy who did exactly what was he was paid to do, then spent the rest of his life getting killed for it.

He's still getting fucked, even in death. The Atlanta Journal Constitution uses the occasion of his passing to reprint it’s closing arguments in his (ultimately dismissed) libel suit against the paper.

We remember where we were the night of the Atlanta Olympic bombing. A few of the Ten were watching the games at the Pour House in Boston, and, after the news flash, one of the Ten said "A bomb? You’d never get me to go to the Olympics, no matter how much you pay me. Bwa ha ha ha " Those of you who have known us for a long time will appreciate how funny that remark is, in hindsight.
