Remembering Richard Jewell
 |
The 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta didn't interest me. As was my policy olympiads, stick games, ball games, team sports in general failed to capture my interest as they do so many others in my midst.
A venue there called Centennial Olympic Park was bombed by a criminal named Eric Rudolph who was ultimately convicted for a series of bombings across the southern United States between 1996 and 1998.
Richard Allensworth Jewell, who was born Richard White discovered a backpack containing three pipe bombs on the park grounds. He alerted law enforcement and helped evacuate the area before the bomb exploded, saving many people from injury or death.
While he was initially declared a hero the FBI in it's infinite wisdom and deep state complicity named Richard Jewell a suspect based on alleged "scientific profiling" and though he was never charged he was presumed guilty and suffered trial by media only to be cleared some 88 days later after the proceedings had pretty much ruined his life.
Just think, the FBI requires a 4 year degree just because some bulldog looking pervert transvestite homosexual in charge said so during the agency startup. Elitist far beyond their ability to perform ...
Much like the moron leadership of the city of columbia IT department.
The man was definitely done wrong by law enforcement and appeared on Saturday Night Live after his exhonoration.
He passed on August 29, 2007 from the sequela of undiagnosed diabetes. Another tragic tale of unrecognized heroism in our never ending quest to affix blame as quickly and easily as possible regardless of the truth of the matter.
It is a tragedy that we continue to fail to learn from past mistakes in an age where the left declares "right is wrong" and "wrong is right" and skewed notions of antifa and blm permeate our culture in their blatant stupidity. We don't seem to be learning from history.
