I laughed when I saw this headline at Drudge: "ROCK STAR IN COMA AFTER WHALLOPED BY PEACE ACTIVIST..." Don't you think if you are going to advocate for peace that you should exemplify it in your own life. Oh, how I love life's ironies :-) Here's the story:
A New Zealand peace activist is facing serious assault charges after he allegedly punched a rock singer in London, leaving the man in a coma.
Christiaan Briggs, 30, who spent three weeks in Iraq with the Truth Justice Peace Human Shield Action Group in 2003, appeared at Highbury Corner Magistrates' Court on Tuesday to face a charge of grievous bodily harm.
Police say the incident occurred on June 22 when Briggs allegedly punched 19-year-old Billy Leeson, causing the rising rock star to hit his head on the ground.
[...]
Mr Nadin said an argument broke out between the pair after Briggs allegedly "made advances" towards Leeson's girlfriend.
I wonder if his defense will be that he was provoked or just defending himself? Hmmmm?
I'm of course not laughing over the plight of the poor rocker. I hope he recovers quickly. I hate when hypocrites tell others how to live and then don't practice it in their own lives. (Yes, I know that as a Christian you want to accuse me of doing the same thing but I beat you to the punch -- as it were -- hehe)
