Do I have to believe this? This discription fits 5 million pick up driving fun loving Red Necks. Why would any sensible person pull over, stop and get out to confront some one they don't know. It may be true but I aint buying.

It wasn't atheists or liberals who damaged the back of my car because I had a Darwin fish on it.

I am not justifying vandalism, but you do realize that a Darwin Fish is obnoxious and offensive, don't you?

Do you know where the fish symbol came from, and why it was originally used?

There is such a thing as "fighting words". Clueless idiots who put a Darwin Fish on the back of their automobiles should realize that, and not be entirely suprised when people take offense at things that are offensive.

I think it's a hoax.

Agreed. This story is pure Hollywood. The good professor has been watching too many 'B movies' on TV.

This is so much BS. These 'rednecks' pull over and he gets out of his car?? Pleeze.

The same clueless idiots you refer to would be just as likely to take a crowbar to a car with a BUSH/CHENEY sticker, or an SUV without any other ornament.

"I just pulled over hoping they would pass, and then they pulled up real close behind," he said. "They got out, and I made the mistake of getting out."

Whenever a stranger tailgates me I pull over and get out of the car. I walk far enough away from my car so that it's impossible for me to get away in case trouble arises. I also make sure that I'm unarmed.

This doesn't pass the smell test.

He said Mirecki, who is the group's faculty adviser, was adamant that the beating was related to the recently canceled course.

That's because it was the college president who was beating up on him for being such a dumbass and letting his feelings out into the open.

Do we need another thread on this?

A little late for a ping. I didn't see it until late too. If this is legitimate, this is some interesting news. If the prof is faking it (like the Islamist faked an attack at ASU after 9/11), then it makes our side look bad.

I suppose there's a few whacko's everywhere.
