I laughed till I thought I was >going to shit the first time I heard it. >-Mike- I couldn't find anything on the web that far back. However, I was around to read about it in the papers. As best as I can recall, a teacher from one of the high schools instigated the construction of what was designated a "bazooka". Several of his students then decided to use it on one of the local trolls. I recall that it happened under a bridge and that they did hit their target. It wouldn't have attracted much attention except that someone whom I know, decided to fabricate t-shirts with "Troll Busters" on them. They sold out immediately. That's what got the media and activists attention. I don't recall what happened to the perpetrators or the victim. -- Jeff Liebermann 150 Felker St #D Santa Cruz CA 95060 (831)421-6491 pgr (831)336-2558 home http://www.LearnByDestroying.com AE6KS jeffl@comix.santa-cruz.ca.us jeffl@cruzio.com
