    I remember back when everyone was sitting in their armchairs in their basements cheering this guy on like he was Audie Murphy.

    I think he still has a bounty on his head from Iran. Maybe this guy will get a consolation prize? Too bad he'll be in prison.

    Also, still has that bounty - and was there not any security around to protect the stage? Incompetence.

    IIRC, 2 cops as security. Obviously not near Rushdie.
