Army Veteran peace activist shot and killed by pro-gun brother
I am so fucking sick of the RW and their murderous ways. There is NO room for disagreement and if you DARE have an different opinion, chances are they will kill you.:mad:

Here is a picture of the murdering thug

>>>snip
A man involved in opening a premier shooting range has been arrested in connection with the death of his brother, a Denton peace activist who was found slumped over the front seat of his truck with a gunshot wound to the head, Flower Mound police said.
>>>snip
n the Web site Aubreyturner.org, David Honish wrote in 2003 about the pair's plan to start the gun range. "Long story short, we need $400K in private investment to qualify for the loans to make this happen," he wrote. "Will work out the details with my brother & have info on it in the near future for you."
>>>snip
An Army veteran, David Honish wrote in a recent letter to the Denton Record-Chronicle that he worked in stateside hospitals during the Vietnam War. He was a licensed vocational nurse, according to the state Board of Nurse Examiners.

Mr. Honish was the "main motivator" for the North Texas Veterans for Peace, which often gathered on an overpass near the University of North Texas campus, said Bernie Jezercak, the group's financial officer.

1. heh.
I don't know that much about David's personal, private life," Mr. Burnam said. "It's kind of bizarre he died in a gun accident."

murder is a 'gun accident'?

3. If this is murder over politics, give the son of a bitch the needle. However...
Some of the stuff in that article makes me think it may just be murder over money. Give him life in prison in that case.

4. It seems the victim was also a "gun nut"
Maybe you can enlighten me as to the motive for the crime. Because I didn't see one in the article, but you seem to be sure of the motive.

5. ahhh...brings back a fun story.
Edited on Fri Jun-22-07 09:33 PM by Gabi Hayes
two years ago, I went to a machine gun shoot with a friend of mine, and his gun nut buddies

I'd shot guns two other times in my life, blah blah....

anyway, my friend has a brother who's a Viet Vet. they're both exTREMELY right wing....the friend and I stayed up most of the night arguing about things like our Manifest Destiny in the Mideast: It's OUR oil if we're tough enough to take it. that sort of stuff.

anyway, he WARNED ME very specifically to not get into any heavy duty political discussions on the morrow, as his brother is emotionally/psychologically pretty far around the bend, and if I got too far under his skin, he'd "FUCKING KILL" me

next day we shot guns, and I got along just fine with his brother and all his wingnut friends. they even said I was a ''pretty good guy for a liberal!''

Footnote: we were at a public gunrange next to Ft. Knox. I was talking to a woman who had an M-60 mounted on a golf cart sort of thing, and I asked her what the use of that thing was.
I dunno if she had me sized up, or what (I was the only non-wingnut among the thirty or so shooters there), but she responded, immediately, "Killing liberals!"

8. Ick.
Not liking this story because I am very picky about who I would practice my shooting skills with and people with two brain cells to rub together wouldn't be in that crowd. Bullets, weaponry and stupidity do not mix.
