UMASS Idiot Gets
What comes around goes around!The University of Massachusetts at Amherst student who penned a column deriding a fallen soldier as an ``idiotââ asked that his screed be taken off a school newspaper Web site after receiving death threats, student journalists said. His editors arenât sure where Rene Gonzalez is because the political science graduate student and part-time columnnist has been incommunicado since the furor erupted Wednesday. ``The only information we have directly from Rene is that he had received death threats,ââ said Matthew Reid, editor of The Collegianâs editorial page. Gonzalez has been in the national spotlight since his column was published Wednesday saying Pat Tillman, who left a lucrative NFL contract for the military, ``got what he deservedââ when he was killed in Afghanistan last week. Amherst police said they werenât aware of any death threats but had been approached by Gonzalezâs concerned father seeking information about possibly seeking charges. ``He made some innuendos about his son being threatened bodily harm,ââ Amherst police Lt. Scott Livingstone said Gee somebody didnât like what young Rene wrote and called him on it? Boo Friggin Hoo Rene! I donât wish him any ill will but I have NO sympathy for this jerk.
