Okay, this is my first post and first diary of a long time lurker... be gentle.

WEST PALM BEACH - An 18-year-old Marine recruit remained in jail on Wednesday, charged with threatening to stab his girlfriend over her choice for president, news partner NewsChannel 5 reported in its noon broadcast.
The enlistee, Steven Scott Soper, of Lake Worth, became enraged Tuesday night when his 18-year-old girlfriend said she was leaving him -- and voting for John Kerry for president.
Soper, who will enter the Marines as soon as he passes the GED test, solidly supports Bush. He allegedly told girlfriend Stacey Silheira, "You'll never live to see the election."
Palm Beach Sheriff's Office deputies called to the home in Lake Worth said they had to use a Taser - an electronic stun gun - to subdue Soper. They described Soper as enraged and said he was holding Silheira captive. He was armed with a screwdriver and threatening to stab her in the neck, they said. When Silheira eventually broke free a deputy fired the Taser, shocking him into submission.
Charged with aggravated assault, Soper remains in jail without bond until he undergoes a psychiatric exam, NewsChannel 5 reported.
I saw this story had to share.
it was this bit that did it for me: "Soper remains in jail without bond until he undergoes a psychiatric exam"
I wonder what the exam will show, and can we have these done right at the polls for the rest of the bush voters?
also, will the republicans cry foul that his voting rights are being supressed?
in any case, this kind of intimidation is just downright scary.
politics and love gone wrong
(if I did any of this wrong, please, someone let me know!)
okay, from what I understand, we have a duplicate diary of this here
