Re.:
�I have watched this thread develop and I am a cynic. I do not think it is
beyond the realm of possibility that this was a staged beating to garner
sympathy from the public.�
Well,
perhaps the doubters are right and I am wrong. Perhaps Marr did arrange to
have himself beaten to the point where he suffered facial fractures which
had the potential to damage his eyesight, threaten his life, or even kill
him.
Maybe
there is something for us to learn here - we have much in common. Marr has
been fighting a losing battle to have legislation allowing bear hunting
thrown out. We have been fighting a losing battle to have legislation
which bans and prohibits firearms thrown out. I guess the only question
that remains is if we can meet the dedication that Marr has apparently
demonstrated in arranging the beating he took.
So...
we need a few volunteers willing to undergo a beating severe enough to
inflict some skull fractures in hopes of getting a sound byte on the news
some night. Hands up please, volunteers... line forms to the right.
Come,
come, surely some of us can meet the same level of dedication as that
shown by a contemptible, lying anti hunter like Marr. If he can �take the
bullet� to the extent he did to further his cause, then it seems that
hunters and shooters as dedicated as we are would be willing to just as
eagerly step forward for a similar beating. The chances are reasonably
good that these injuries will heal with no permanent effects - Marr
apparently lucked out, and our volunteers probably will as well...
For
myself, I reluctantly admit that I'll stick to letter writing, informing
others, legally monkey-wrenching the system, and bugging my MP. I don't
have the courage that Marr and our volunteers have, to willingly submit to
those kind of injuries in hopes of getting a one day sound byte in the
news.
