1971: Massacre at Attica Prison
Quote Of The Day
"Twenty one year old Chris Reed was gunned down with four bullets, including one that "exploded and took out a big chunk" of his left thigh. He listened in terror as troopers debated in front of him whether to kill him or let him bleed to death. As they discussed this the troopers had fun jamming their butts into his injuries and dumping lime onto his face and injured legs until he fell unconscious."

Stack 'em high.
Hoping the superstition about Friday 13th doesn't apply to V. It was a big day for her. I wish her well. That's all I'm going to say for now.
