Well, there goes the rest of my day. That will have me confused for hours and hours, and probably keep me up half the night. - 1952Sniper

Funny, but I'm still not convinced Howie meant anything racist when he made that comment.  Has everybody seen the footage?

Agreed. He could have replaced "monkey" with "SOB" and it probably would have been better received. :roll:

Holy crap!  I had never heard of this law.  It says he faces one to three years in jail, and it's a crime that is not subject to bail.

All over calling the guy a monkey!?

That is insane.  Unfortunately, chris, you're absolutely right.  It won't be long before that type of nonsense happens here.
