Pope Gunman Doesn't Report As Required
2006-01-14
The Turkish gunman who shot Pope John Paul II failed to report to a police station Friday — the day after his release from prison — and authorities said the military could ask for his arrest for draft-dodging.
Really, we don't make this stuff up. We couldn't. Maybe Scrappleface could, but not us...
Mehmet Ali Agca was required to report daily to a police station to allow authorities to keep tabs on him until at least officials decide on whether he should serve his military service. Istanbul Gov. Muammer Guler said Agca — whose whereabouts were unknown — had not reported to any police station by Friday evening. Guler said Agca was also required to report to a military hospital on Monday. "If he doesn't show up, he will be listed as a draft-dodger" and his arrest could be sought, Guler said.

#4  Convicted of a successful murder, attempted to assassinate the Pope, and he was allowed to not only continue breathing, but paroled.

I'm thinking this guy has been around too long, waay too long.
