| Terry Nichols On Hunger Strike At Florence Supermax |
| 2010-02-19 |
| (Florence, CO)--Oklahoma City bombing conspirator Terry Nichols is on a hunger strike to protest the meals at the supermax federal prison near Florence, Colorado. Listen, you cowardly little bitch, the secret to a successful hunger strike is that people have to care that you're on one. I have a feeling very few people do.. The 54-year-old claims the refined foods he's been forced to eat at the lockup violate his religious beliefs by harming his body, which he calls God's holy temple. So he doesn't eat. And he dies. And nobody cares. Win-win for everybody. So he doesn't eat. And he dies. No one cares. His holy temple gets to meet up with God. Who dispenses appropriate judgement. Win-win-win-win. Nichols sued the Federal Bureau of Prisons last March demanding a diet rich in raw fruits and veggies, whole grains, wheat bran supplements, digestive bacteria and enzymes. Ah, "demanding". I'll bet they love when you do that at Supermax. Really makes them...stand up and take notice. I think anyone who files a formal legal brief using the term veggies should be allowed to starve himself to death post haste. Unless it's the journalist who assumed that term met stylebook usages, in which case reapply the above sentence as appropriate. I've accepted the move from luncheon to lunch, but veggies is entirely beyond the pale. In a handwritten note filed with the court Thursday, Nichols says he stopped eating back on February 5th because he believes prison officials are playing "games" with his food in retaliation for the pending lawsuit. Getting paranoid staring at that same old concrete wall everyday, Terry? Has the wall started to talk back to you yet? He adds that he's, quote, "prepared to die if necessary because he is done allowing his body to be defiled." Sure you are. Why don't you try it and see what happens? Nichols' last hunger strike was in 2001, when he was being held in Oklahoma City for the 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building that killed 168 people. Sounds like that one was real serious too... He is now serving a life sentence at the supermax prison. ...sounds like it's driving him towards insanity. I got no problem with that. |

| #18 He's lucky he's still alive. He should have been given the needle like his partner in crime McVeigh. |

| #14 After all that, it would be greatly ironical if it turned out to be really true that there were bad consequences to fluoridation. |

| #13 General Jack D. Ripper: Mandrake, do you realize that in addition to fluoridating water, why, there are studies underway to fluoridate salt, flour, fruit juices, soup, sugar, milk... ice cream. Ice cream, Mandrake, children's ice cream. Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: Lord, Jack. General Jack D. Ripper: You know when fluoridation first began? Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: I... no, no. I don't, Jack. General Jack D. Ripper: Nineteen hundred and forty-six. Nineteen forty-six, Mandrake. How does that coincide with your post-war Commie conspiracy, huh? It's incredibly obvious, isn't it? A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual. Certainly without any choice. That's the way your hard-core Commie works. Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: Uh, Jack, Jack, listen, tell me, tell me, Jack. When did you first... become... well, develop this theory? General Jack D. Ripper: Well, I, uh... I... I... first became aware of it, Mandrake, during the physical act of love. Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: Hmm. General Jack D. Ripper: Yes, a uh, a profound sense of fatigue... a feeling of emptiness followed. Luckily I... I was able to interpret these feelings correctly. Loss of essence. Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: Hmm. General Jack D. Ripper: I can assure you it has not recurred, Mandrake. Women uh... women sense my power and they seek the life essence. I, uh... I do not avoid women, Mandrake. Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: No. General Jack D. Ripper: But I... I do deny them my essence. |

| #11 "violate his religious beliefs by harming his body" Remember what you did to get into Supermax, loser? Guess your "religious beliefs" don't prevent you harming someone else's body.... |

| #10 Comments better than the story. The 54-year-old claims the refined foods he's been forced to eat at the lockup violate his religious beliefs by harming his body... Who would have known he had religious beliefs. He should claim to be a mooselimb. He will get whatever he asks for. What a little pussy. Should have thought about your special dietary needs before you got yourself into supermax. Hey, they call it prison. |

| #9 So expect the ACLU or some other worhtless organization to step in and demand he be fed, force fed if needed. and the prison should comply; with 3 inch galvanized pipe as the feeding tube, hydraulically inserted. (choice of insertion point optional) |

| #8 Anyone care to guess the response of the prison officials if this was a muzzie complaining about not Halal enough? |

| #7 ...sounds like it's driving him towards insanity. I got no problem with that. . . . towards . . .? Tu3031 - he's long since passed that. |

| #6 Beyond a certain point, he may have a point. It's a little known prison trick to provide disliked inmates with a diet of nothing but junk food. Fat, sugar and starch, with lots of soda to drink. Little or no exercise, and keep them indoors under fluorescent lights. In just a few months of that, their health will be shot. They'll gain lots of weight, lose muscle tone and endurance, have a weakened immune system and be prone to infections, have severe constipation, and start to develop lots of other health conditions. Then you start playing with the thermostat at night, alternating too warm and too cool. With any luck, they'll be dead before the year's out. |

| #5 Meh. If you were really serious about toxins, Terry, you'd stop drinking the water. I heard it's fluoridated.... |

| #4 Somebody make sure to sneak him bags of those olestra-laced potato chips. I saw they're still selling them in grocery stores last weekend, seems like the perfect snack for a food-paranoid hunger-striking seeping asshole There, fixed it for you |

| #2 Faster please. If he offered to be a blood donor, he might move the process along more quickly and actually do something good before he heads for his ultimate reward. |

| #1 Stopped eating back on Feb 5... Why not backdate it even further to make your appeal seem more timely. I stopped eating back in 2008. They should give this guy some rope, some country western or blues albums, a tv showing the faces of those he killed and a lot of burbon and let him solve the problem himself. |
