Rachel Corrie STFU Already

                               The Hammer Drops (Finally)
Court Rules Israel Wasn’t at Fault in U.S. Moron Corrie's Death


Res Ipsa Loquitor

HAIFA, Israel — An Israeli judge ruled on Tuesday that the state bore no responsibility for the death of Rachel Corrie, the young American woman who was run over by a military bulldozer in 2003 as she protested housing demolitions in the Gaza Strip.


What a Farce
   The lengthy verdict in the civil case, read to a courtroom packed with supporters of Ms. Corrie’s family here, called the death an accident that occurred during “a military activity meant to prevent terrorist activity.”

“She chose to put herself in danger,” said the judge, Oded Gershon. “She could have easily distanced herself from the danger like any reasonable person would.”

Since her death, Ms. Corrie has become an international symbol of the ignorant,  pasty-faced
leftist American True-Believer.

  A play based on her writings has been performed in 10 countries, and a ship in an aid flotilla to Gaza bore her name. Numerous books and documentaries have told of how Ms. Corrie, a 23-year-old student, stood in an orange vest with a bullhorn between a bulldozer and the home of a Palestinian family in March 2003, and was crushed like an overripe casaba melon. 


Who knew this was still going on?  Sheesh.

Wow. A common sense judgement - holding someone responsible for their own actions. Who'd have though that was still possible anyplace?

The memorial should be a manhole cover with her name on it - an iron pancake.

At work we celebrate every March 16th as "Rachel Corrie Pizza Day". Never try to stop a Caterpillar D2 from it's assigned duty.

USMC2841 - not a D2, much, much bigger - D9R, about 110,000 lb. of armored oomph.

That decision must have been a crushing defeat.
(What? Yeah, an' a-crushin' da rest'a 'er, too.)
Normally, this is where I'd apologize for the puns;
but I ain't really sorry, this time.
