Butthead Eco-Activist Charged with Fortuyn Murder
Dutch prosecutors charged an animal rights campaigner Wednesday with the murder of anti-immigrant politician Pim Fortuyn. The shooting of Fortuyn in a car park Monday, barely a week before a general election in which he was expected to perform well, stunned this quiet country and sent shock waves across Europe. Lawyers have named the suspect as Volkert van der Graaf, 32, a vegan environmental activist opposed to factory farming.
I guess I'm just not as smart as they are, despite my 3-digt IQ. How can you be against killing animals or even causing them discomfort and then pop off a perfectly usable, if a bit eccentric, human being? It doesn't make sense to me. Should I say "Duh!" now? Should I wipe my chin? Or are they the ones that're wrong?
