Ex-Husker football star missing in Indonesia blast

Full Article

WASHINGTON - A father, husband and former Cornhusker offensive lineman was missing Sunday at the site of bomb blasts in Bali, Indonesia - possibly the first American reported dead in yet another overseas terror attack.

Jake Young, a consensus All-American center for NU in 1988 and 1989, was reportedly at a nightspot and restaurant in Bali when explosions, apparently set by terrorists, killed at least 187 and injured many others.

This just became very personal for my family. It's a sad day and I will not rest until these murderers are brought to justice, one way or the other. This is my first post, so I apologize in advance if the posting is not properly done.

Jake was a model citizen, someone who we should model our lives by. Then these Islamics in dirty night shirts & supported by millions of that religion continue with these acts & we have government elected officials who want to handtie our president. Let's support anyone who is up for election & who will stand tall in this war to rid the world of these low-lifes. To the Young family, I wish I had the words to express to you at this time my sorrow for you. Not 1 million of these creeps lives equals your loss.

I think our current President is working on that for us.
Unfortunately, Clinton left a VERY big mess and a lot of fine people have been lost in it.

No innocent's loss is more horrible than another's, but this is particularly horrible for us. We've known Jake for a long time and like him very much - he is a very, very good man. Islamotrash and all in support of these butchers just might have finally pi**ed into the wrong wind.

Please pray for his wife and little one, if you pray. Yet another innocent widow and fatherless child because of islamotrash and their deadly, sick bloodlust. This madness must end with overwhelming and resounding impact or every single one of us will lose someone to these deceived murderers that are doing satan's bidding.

You're very kind. We must never, ever, ever forget what evil men can do and that any price to eliminate their organizations will not be enough, lest we all lose someone. It's time to take off the gloves.

Prayers for you and especially for Jake's family.

So tragic! So needless! There just aren't words ...... but we must NEVER FORGET!

This will hit home for someone else, too ......

From the article ......

...... "Jake Young arrived at the University of Nebraska in 1986 from his hometown of Midland, Texas ..."

On behalf of the Young's, thank you. Murderous islam must be stopped cold in its tracks. (Is there really any other kind of islam?)

yes there is.

as witnessed by the fact that almost every moslem of note in Australia has unreservedly condemned this attack.

but those who refuse to accept that, and see islam itself as our enemy, will ignore that ... and through their "kill all moslems " bleating will become useful idiots (to use a phrase comon here) for the islamists.

who wants the actual terrorists hunted down like the dogs they are.

And their supporters, right? You know, the ones yelling and celebrating the deaths of innocents until they realize they're on camera...
