15. Too bad he won't get to go to Iraq now.
He deserves to meet up with an IED. Unfortunately, he would probably abuse and murder Iraqis and then come home in one piece, so it's probably for the best that he won't get to go.

10. Oh good grief!
Soper has since dropped out of high school and is pursuing his general equivalency diploma, Salnick said. He still hopes to one day serve in the military.

Just what the U.S. Armed Forces needs. He'll be a shoe in for an Abu Graib type posting.

I heard this story on Rush today. You can hardly blame him but it is not worth ruining his life over. If it had been over her voting for Bush, the judge would have probably not even slapped his wrist.

It's a good thing he didn't kill her, that would have guaranteed her vote would go Democrat.

If Michael Schaivo can kill his "brain dead" wife, why can't this guy punch out a "brain dead" girlfriend who supported Kerry.

22. Even this story is right-wing biased.
The article SHOULD have read like this:


Disturbed Teen pleads guilty to attacking girlfriend for her Patriotism

By Pissy Slobbard
Staff Writer
Posted March 31 2005

Steven Soper had his life all mapped out.

The 18-year-old from Lake Worth had been accepted into the Army and planned to enlist after graduating this spring from Santaluces High School.

But
he flushed his plan down the drain in late October when he attacked his girlfriend after learning she planned to vote for Sen. John Kerry in the presidential election.


...


Soper dragged Silveira, kicking and screaming, into her house before throwing her to the floor and spitting on her, police reports said. Soper reportedly bit Silveira and then placed a knife in her hand and told her to kill him,
because he was so stupid, he thought a vote for Kerry would mean he would die anyway, in spite of the mountains of evidence that Bush would be much more likely to get him killed.

The disturbed right-winger had been violent at times, defense attorney Michael Salnick said, but his insanity came full circle when Soper learned of his girlfriend's decision to support Kerry.

"Many relatives of Steven's have served in the armed forces ... and he had every intention of going to other parts of the world to defend the United States,
and in spite of that, he still supports the murderer of 1500 American troops" Salnick said.

Soper could request early termination of his probation if he successfully completes all the requirements, but Salnick said he would not consider doing so until Soper has finished at least half of the probation -- 21/2 years.

Soper has since dropped out of high school and is pursuing his general equivalency diploma, Salnick said. He still hopes to one day
die in Bush's military.

24. I was wondering what happened to that sick little bastard.
Thanks for the update, even though it was sickening how those quoted in the article defended the monster's actions because "he had members of his family in the military." Morons.
