Richard Jewell is Dead...Atlanta NOT bomber!

How many people remember Richard Jewell as the Atlanta Bomber? The guy that everyone was so sure planted a bomb so that he could discover it and be a hero...well everyone was wrong.

I remember watching the incident on TV, I remember being proud of Richard Jewell for saving so many lives and then I remember thinking how badly I had been duped.

Whether it was an accidental leak from the FBI, or it was an intentional one meant to apply pressure to Jewell so he would fold, this poor man should have been compensated for the stress and heart ache he endured. Janet Reno said "I'm very sorry it happened. I think we owe him an apology. I regret the leak."

Well Janet, thinking you owe someone an apology as opposed to actually giving him one are not the same things. The real bomber Eric Rudolph in fact was never caught on Janet Reno's watch.

Richard Jewell, was a good man trying to do a good thing. He was a good son. I didn't know Richard Jewell but, I know he was a good son because 10 years after the Centennial Olympic Park bombing his biggest regret was having his mother swell with pride only to see her jewbulation stripped from her. Now that's a good son.

Had the DOJ, the FBI or anyother agency responded to their 'mistake' with some just compensation everyone would have remembered Jewell differently. I would have remember him as the guy they tried to screw and had to pay because of it...

I want my money back...I want the money that my taxes paid to help pay Janet Reno, that helped to pay the FBI agents...I want my money back that helped to ruin yet another perfectly good life.

Rest in Peace Richard Jewell, they 'done you wrong'.
