Fuck The Troops
On January 16th, after having talked quite normally on the phone with at least two other people that same day, Douglas Barber, a member of Iraq Veterans Against the War (IVAW) living in Lee County, Alabama, changed the answer-message on his telephone.
"If you're looking for Doug," it said in his Alabama drawl, "I'm checking out of this world. I'll see you on the other side."
He then called the police, collected his shotgun, and went out onto his porch to meet them. From the sketchy reports we have now, it seems the police wouldn't oblige him with a "suicide by cop" and tried to talk him down. When it became apparent he wasn't able to commit cop-suicide, 37-year-old Douglas Barber did an about face, rotated the shotgun and killed himself.

Another fitting end to a left wing fuck-nut job. At least he won't be around to pollute the gene pool. -- Posted by: George on January 22, 2006 03:37 PM
the key thing that both left and right wing (fuck-nut jobs) have in common is the overwhelming sense of A HIGHER MORAL AUTHORITY guiding their actions some are jesus lovers and some are nature lovers but both feel "better than" in other words there is a lot more commonality between them then they'd like to think john -- Posted by: john on February 1, 2006 06:29 PM
My son did not call the police the gentleman he was talking on the phone, Bob Page did. He was not 37 he was 35. Please get your facts straight! This is a very sad time for me and it hurts me that people are being so nasty and hateful toward him. If it wasn't for my son and the troops and those who have died you wouldn't be able to have the Freedom of Speech. The Mother of D. Barber -- Posted by: martha moore on February 1, 2006 08:19 PM
