rooster -- yeah, we have our own occasional All-Stars too -- my personal favorite remains that Willy Jefferson joker from down your way who, among other things, 'hid' $90,000 in cash in his freezer -- effin' brilliant
that was indeed a quite classic display of thuggish behavior by ol' Leroy -- yeesh -- certainly got off easy on the criminal charge -- whether he therefore, in the totality of who he is and how he's lived his life, deserves to be tagged generally as a 'thug', have to wonder if he has any (similar) priors, any record of prior such behavior -- if no, well that's one thing; if yes, . . .
in any event, that obviously at least should be the permanent end of his political career, commencing with his quick departure/removal from all party/political positions/offices he holds -- also, his butt is hanging out there to get nailed for at least some substantial damages in what I would think would be a slam-dunk civil action by Graves (in particular, the damage to the vision he still had, along with the usual pain and suffering and medical costs)
