I didn't know AZ Joe had a girlfriend

[LTR]

Can't think of why any woman would want to be with him.

Lake Worth man accused of 'political attack' on girlfriend

WEST PALM BEACH – An 18-year-old Marine recruit remained in jail on Wednesday, charged with threatening to stab his girlfriend over her choice for president, news partner NewsChannel 5 reported in its noon broadcast.

The enlistee, Steven Scott Soper, of Lake Worth, became enraged Tuesday night when his 18-year-old girlfriend said she was leaving him -- and voting for John Kerry for president.

Soper, who will enter the Marines as soon as he passes the GED test, solidly supports Bush. He allegedly told girlfriend Stacey Silheira, "You'll never live to see the election."

Palm Beach Sheriff's Office deputies called to the home in Lake Worth said they had to use a Taser – an electronic stun gun – to subdue Soper. They described Soper as enraged and said he was holding Silheira captive. He was armed with a screwdriver and threatening to stab her in the neck, they said. When Silheira eventually broke free a deputy fired the Taser, shocking him into submission.

Well, okay - it sounds like it could be AZ Joe.

1. Okay. Ship his ass out to Iraq now before he slaughters her.

Maybe he'll feel differently when he gets slaughtered.

Indeed, don't wait for the GED. It'll be useless to him unless Kerry wins anyway.

My response is a knee-jerk reaction.

2. Hmmm...

... think the Marines have just lost another recruit... unless they are taking people with felony arrest records.

And, since this is Florida, if he's convicted, will Jeb see to it that a good Bush supporter loses his right to vote because he's a convicted felon?

3. Medication.... pass the medication.

Besides, last I knew the Marines weren't taking GEDs. They required a Diploma.

Most recruiters I know would bounce someone with that kind of past for mental instability. Too fragile to withstand battle. A danger to his peers.

I hope the girl gets good protection, more than a restraining order. Waving a piece of paper at this dick isn't going to do much.
