[edit] False Rape Claims

I edited the part wich claimed he tried to rape a jewish psychologist who interviwed him, because of lack of evidence. The claim presented a link to an article wich didn't confirm it at all, the only thing it said that could relate to it:

"She had talked for six hours to this guy who hated Jews so much that he hid in the bushes and shot at them with a rifle, and he had come on to her, just like that. She shivered at the memory: "He said he wanted some pussy." "

But this isn't rape so I erased it.

[edit] Specifics

I'd like someone to find for this article a picture. Also, what the type of sniper rifle he used for the killings? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.250.130.215 (talk • contribs)

[edit] Manson

If you're going to call Charles Manson a serial killer (as this article does), you need to provide some evidence (per WP:RS) that he has killed people. I certainly wouldn't mind seeing such evidence, but doubt very much that it exists. As such, I am removing the Manson reference.

The article says that this guy shot President Bill Clinton, not Vernon Jordan. Is this vandalism? William L. Schlotterer 07:21, 16 November 2007 (UTC) I reread it three times. I now understand my mistaken interpretation of what is written. I apologize. William L. Schlotterer 10:47, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
