Tuesday, May 04, 2004Couldn't Have Said it Better Myself
This article by Steve Dunleavy expresses the anger felt by a survivor of an Islamist attack.
|
In 2000, a top Bin Laden aide stabbed prison Louis Pepe guard in the eye, causing blidness and brain damage. Yesterday he was sentenced to 32 years for the crime. The scene in the courtroom was ugly. yesterday, his brain half gone, somehow, from somewhere within, Louis managed to confront his vermin attacker with a man's challenge. "I want to see you someday . . . Don't know where, and it ain't gonna be a nice day," Louis said, struggling to find the words. It was as lucid a sentence as he could muster - and from then on, it seemed that the physical and emotional strength had left him. Louis spewed out the anger of almost being made a vegetable, interrupting Mamdouh Mahmud Salim's attorney, Richard Lind, with shouts of "I'm dead, dead, dead!" Instead of letting him vent, with every right to do so, the judge threw him out! Judge Deborah Batts, who might need a crash course in courtroom diplomacy, had Louis wheeled from the court, which prompted an angry walkout of 40 fellow court officers. Louis's sister, Eileen Trotta, exploded in fury, "My brother is brain damaged - it's an outrage to do that to him. She [Batts] is not an American." Give the whole article a read. Mr Dunleavy is anything but objective in his editorial, but I agree with him completely.
