About Me
- Name: Infidel753
- Location: Portland, Oregon, United States
Individualist, pro-technology, pro-democracy, anti-religion. I speak only for myself and not for any ideology, movement, or party. It has been my great good fortune to live my whole life free of "spirituality" of any kind. I believe that evidence and reason are the keys to understanding reality; that technology rather than ideology or politics has been the great liberator of humanity; and that in the long run, human intelligence is the most powerful force in the universe.

me too -- very upsetting. a reminder of how bravery helps everyone, including when we help those braver than us...
I wish him all the best
It's sad that that happened. Hopefully he'll be ok.
Last I heard he's off the ventilator and his eye still has a chance to heal. Why does he still not have security at these events? There's a new crop of nutjobs every year.
It sounds like his life is in no danger now, but recovery will be slow and not complete. He's 75. It won't be an easy way back.
In honor of the attack on Salmon Rushdie I purchased more copies of "Satanic Verses" and will dispersing them around town for people to pick up, read and keep.
such evil in the world..continued good health to him
Anon: Good move. I hope others do the same.
Granny: Unfortunately, given his age and the nature of the injuries, some permanent damage seems inevitable.
