Send in the Marines to this Crook's home.

There is a Michael Crook listed in New Jersey. Don't know if this is the guy or not.

NOTE TO ALL: The "Michael Crook" they interviewed on NBC10 last night was identified as being a resident of Syracuse, NY.

AM, consider pulling this if you feel it inappropriate, but it was publicly broadcast in the Philadelphia area.

Video feed of last night's story, which identifies the location of the perp.

I love the way you can turn any thread into a libertarian bash. It's a gift.

I'm serious.

[Hildy]

I don't understand. The pictures weren't the soldiers' so what's the story here?

[Windcatcher]

"Any Philly freepers that would like to pay Mr Crook a visit?"

Oh, it's tempting. I wonder if he'd like to have trash delivered instead of being taken away...

I don't understand. The pictures weren't the soldiers' so what's the story here?

Maybe I am misreading these first two paragraphs:

---

A New Jersey soldier, who is being sent back to Afghanistan for a second tour of duty next week, lost his digital camera at last weekend's Eagles game.

The memory card in the camera had many pictures of the holidays with Spc. Elwood Wrigley's friends and family that he said were very precious to him.

No, you weren't misreading the FIRST TWO paragraphs, you just forgot to read the rest of the article:

Crook e-mailed some of the pictures to NBC 10 to see if they were Wrigley's pictures.

NBC 10's Vince DiMentri showed the pictures to Wrigley, who said they are not his photos.

Thanks. I noticed that part, too, but can't explain it.

[Hildy]

Maybe it's a typo, because it just negates the whole story.

[TexKat]

Maybe it's a typo

Not a typo. Look at the news video posted in post #64.

[Hildy]

So, what's the big story here?

[Lovebloggers]

Not him, he is posting as *Michaelcrook* (and he is an a$shat) - http://www.rightnation.us/forums/index.php?showtopic=64784

RN posters have dug up lots of interesting tidbits on this moron.

LOL..you are a special kind of stupid. "Crook" is a valid last name-- mine.

I am the Michael Crook in question. My website, mentioned and shown on the NBC 10 stories, is http://www.michaelcrook.com. There, you may post on the message board or guestbook.

I fail to understand the anger here. You're just looking for PR.
