Brett Kimberlin Should Still Be in Prison
I lived in Indiana from 1976-2000. I thought that Brett Kimberlin was still in prison and was disappointed to read that he is not. I suspect that most Indiana residents agree with me. I am a liberal, center-left Democrat and want folks to know that Brett Kimberlin does not represent me in any way, shape, or form.

The sudden need to publicly distance one’s self from someone probably never thought about, and not at all connected suggests intimidation more than anything else.
Why would you feel a need to denounce this fellow in the most public forum possible were you NOT being intimidated? And, if so, by whom?
Actually she gave a connection and considering the crimes he was convicted of it doesn’t seem like a major stretch to feel the guy should be in jail. Anyone who was around the area as she was would remember and clearly would of been impacted by the speedway bombings. That you try an twist that into some loony conspiracy say much more to your mindset than anything else.
Seriously? The manufacturing of a national boogie man that nobody remembers just happened out of the blue?
How come no legitimate news organization has reported on this INCREDIBLY CRITICAL BREAKING NEWS? (Bias? Or, perhaps professionalism.)
Only right wing blogs are talking about it, and even Faux Nooz hasn’t paid much attention to it.
But I’m hallucinating a “loony conspiracy”? Right. The evidence TOTALLY backs you up.
My questions remain legitimate questions, while your snark remains just that, sir.
The guy was clearly a scumbag back in the day. I don’t know about today but his attitude, which is threats and attempts at intimidation, when people bring up his past, make me think that while his goals may have changed to something many people may agree with, he is still a lowlife at heart.
You know what? When I object to a rightie blogger claim of a vast conspiracy (three prank phone calls) I am denigrated and dismissed for “That you try an twist that into some loony conspiracy say much more to your mindset than anything else.”
If loony conspiracy theories are prima fascie “false,” then you have nothing to defend. If they are “true,” your attack is meaningless.
This is called being caught on the hornse of a dilemma. Whether Charlie Manson or your grandma made the prank calls (three, according to Saxby Chambliss*) the result is the same. Now, if the SWAT team showing up at your door is inherently dangerous OUGHT to beg the question: then WHY do we have a suffusion of SWAT teams poorly trained and operating outside of Fourth and Fifth Amendment rules?
And, since only one phone call is directly connected to your “terrorist” scapegoat, it’s quite a stretch to claim a conspiracy on his part. THREE prank phone calls?
