Cody,

The only thing *we* need to do is wait for evidence and a court hearing.
Anything else is pointless imo. The cultism comes out when people jump the
gun to claim the defendant is *not guilty* just because he's part of their
camp or because they don't like the prosecutor (in this case, FBI). If
you're offended by being called a cultist, it might help to not talk like
one on the internet. Besides, to be frank, no one is talking about "right"
or "wrong" in the first place except Amir and you perhaps. We're all
curious of "guilty", or "not guilty", and last I checked, no one on this
mailing list knows anything more than the FBI has released at this point.
Please do update us with *facts* though, it's something that is interesting
to follow. Thanks for the link too Amir, I definitely would not push the
fat man to save the 5. I did not put the train out on its course, it is not
my *responsibility* to save them, but as I would want to, I would likely
try. I would most likely throw myself though. How about you? Only throw the
fat man if he's wearing an FBI shirt? :)
