Family of Coal Miners Vent Frustration

By CHELSEA J. CARTER
HUNTINGTON, Utah (AP) - With six trapped coal miners all but left for dead in a crumbling mountain, families and friends vented their frustration at the mine's owner Tuesday and asked: Was it too dangerous to be working there in the first place?

At a funeral Tuesday for one of the three rescue workers killed, a friend of one of the trapped miners confronted mine co-owner Bob Murray and accused him of skimping on the rescue efforts. He then handed Murray a dollar bill.

"This is just to help you out so you don't kill him," the man said.

Murray's head snapped back as if slapped. When the man wouldn't take back the bill, Murray threw the money on the ground. "I'll tell you what, son, you need to find out about the Lord," Murray said.

1. That fat bastard is scared shitless
If a Democrat is elected president and the Dems increase their margins in the house and senate, he can look forward to indictment, trial and spending what's left of his miserable life in jail. Even with the current assholes in positions of responsibility for enforcing mine safety, it seems to me that he could very easily be charged with negligent homicide at the very least.

I got in trouble once here for opining as to what should happen to kkkarl rove in prison, so I'll leave it to your imagination for what murray's fate should be.

But my preference is that somebody there get a rope and find a nice sturdy tree.

2. Let Mr. Murray's words be printed far and wide. What. An. Ass.
Murray must think he is simply owed better by anyone who is religious, because religious people understand that their betters must be respected and obeyed.

3. Disgusting Big R republican scumbag.
My, Mr. Murray is going to be in for a big surprise when he leaves his earthly existence.

Man, he ticked me off when they showed those clips of him lashing out at Senator Boxer. Misogynist jerk-off.
