You know, when Andy Stephenson death was hastened by the hold up of funds to his paypal
account it really pissed me off, to think that George Zimmerman is now receiving funds to offset his living and legal bills and
that money comes so freely for an act of calculated fear.....
Andy was still so brave until the end

sometimes justice is never served in the manner deserved

Funding was held up, huh.  Andy was never at JH, tool.

1. A rather depressing comparison but yes. Sometimes justice gets very screwed up.

Totally forgot about that part- boy that sure feels like it was a million years ago. Ah sweet Andy. And Ballot. Sigh.  

Justice screwed up?  You DUmmies screw the notion of justice on a daily basis.  Justice is not just wahtever YOU want to happen.

2. I remember that. Many of us tried to help when the bullshit delayed help.

I don't see what it is that people admire about a killer.

I also don't understand the attacks on Andy (who tried to help clean up elections) that were so nasty and vehement, even on DU.

Lately I have decided that most people suck, and those that don't are attacked for not sucking.

Yes, we all remember the DUAC assault on the mail room at John Hopkins.  Except that never happened either.
I don't admire a killer, but I do empathize with a man that had to defend his life and is villified for it.

5. Andy called me from outside of Johns Hopkins

to give me info on Sequoia Advantage voting machines, while he was hanging out trying to get a room.

Actually pacing on the sidewalk talking on his cell......

I have a Andy Stephenson for Secretary of State button, LOL. PRICELESS !

Sure he did.  Trying for DUmp street cred are you?

7. I have one of those too!

...it is precious to me. Were you at his wake? I was there and hung out with Andy's partner, Will and others. It was one of the most sad/funny wakes I have ever been to.

Yesterday I was at the local caucus and missing Andy as he had the BEST political gossip EVEH. He and I used to go outside and smoke and he would make me giggle about all the dirt with the political dog and pony shows going on. He would make it all sound so absurd and ridiculous we would be snorting we would laugh so hard.

While it is always good to be with other Dems, yesterday did not even come CLOSE to what I used learn from him. Oh I loved that guy!

Sure, sure.  Yeah, yeah.

I'm not sure why the DUmmies are so upset that coach killed Andy.

If coach hadn't done it, Diebold was in line to whack his ass.

If the round red sodomite were still meddling in the American electoral process, we could not have national elections being decided in North Canton, Ohio.

I trust senior executives at Diebold far more than the DUmpmonkey rabble who think they should be in charge.

Way to go, coach.

You're terrible!!!!

Actually, this is perfect timing.

Tomorrow, Monday, April 30, circa 3:30 p.m. central time, marks the seventh-year anniversary of the beginning of the Scamdal, the scam that rocked the internet.

I know some don't care for it, but history is uneraseable, and so yes, there will be a thread in which any or all are invited to share their memories of this particular event, poor stupid Beth's stupid drama that did more than any other individual or thing to bruise and muddy and imperil the reputation of Skins's island.

Not even Fitzmas, whose sixth anniversary will be commemorated here beginning May 12, came close.

It was long before my time here, so I know nothing about it. I shall look forward to the anniversary and the threads.

It was.....to put it mildly.....memorable.

If I can find them, I'll also post links to past commemorations of it; from 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011.

If I can find them.

3. I won't have a paypal account because of the absolutely heinous bullshit done to Andy. nt

10. I won't either. nt

I've always found PayPal to be very useful, particularly when buying things from eBay...but then I don't define my entire existence by political squabbles.

12. it wasn't Paypal that went after Andy.

It was Fred Grady and his thugs.

Paypal was used and abused by thugs.

Someone probably could do the same thing to Zimmerman's account. Especially considering the fact that the family apparently lied to the judge about George's finances, not mentioning the donations.

I thought it was Coach - I thought that he chased him across the country before plunging a dagger into his heart...that's what I've always read at the DUmp at least.

Yeah, coach and the Bush crime family. Someone tell me about paypal's evolvement?

No way, Jose.

Coach is way too smart to allow himself to be exposed to the blood of a sodomite.

You can believe that pancreatic cancer business all you like, I say whatever he had it was a side effect of AIDS.

Luckily, coach was able to prevent it from being one of those long drawn out deals.
