Just doing my part

Welcome to "Everybody blog about Brett Kimberlin Day." Brett is a convicted felon better known in another day as the Speedway Bomber. Nowadays he spends his time attempting to harass, intimidate and sue bloggers into remaining silent about his criminal past. Remember, you can go to  Film Ladd, Ace,  and Michelle and read the details for yourself, with lots of details at the multitudinous links there. So, Happy "Everybody Blog About Brett Kimberlin Day," and I hope Brett enjoys the Streisand Effect.

Solidarity, baby

Apparently there's this guy out there named Brett Kimberlin who 34 years ago was convicted of being the Speedway Bomber, the dude who set eight bombs around Speedway, Indiana in a mini reign of terror. One of his bombs blew off a dude's leg, and the guy was so upset about that he killed himself. Kimberlin got sentenced to  a lot of years in prison but is inexplicably out now and has entered the world of politics (I will let you guess on which side). He apparently doesn't like it when people reveal his past, which admittedly sounds a lot like he was some kind of domestic terrorist, and so he files lawsuits and such against people who reveal his bomb-setting past.

While this is sort of off topic, I'm not a big fan of assholes using frivolous legal actions to silence truthful speech. A lot has been written about this guy, so you can judge for yourself by going to Film Ladd, Ace,  and Michelle and read the details for yourself. There are lots of links there if you care to follow that will fill you in more completely. Anyway, the reason I am posting this is because Lee Stranahan has suggested that Friday be "Everybody Blog About Brett Kimberlin Day." I figured I would get ahead of the curve and help contribute to the Streisand Effect. I figure Brett will be really disappointed.
