SnowDog

[highlandtide]

I dont get a chance to read everything that is ever posted on our forum so if this is a repeat please let me know.

I was just perusing the Braveheart forum and learned about SnowDog (a regular poster there) being killed. What in the world? It really caught me off guard and I dont remember reading anything about it here.

Please do not respond to this thread if you dont know anything about the situation. This isnt a matter to take lightly.

Thanks.

here is a quote from bravehearts. This really stinks.

I wasn't at the bar when the fight happened, as I had left about half an hour before, needing to get up early for work the next morning.
The bartender, a good friend of the both of us said he was quietly having a drink between sets, when the redneck demanded the band play a song by Lynyrd Skynyrd, which as most of our friends know would have set him off(hillbillys with electric guitars, was his favorite description of southern rock),and he responded with a hearty "HELL NO!"
So I guess the punk got mad and waited for him to leave, and jumped him in the parking lot, hitting him several times with a bat.
Steve (the bartender) found him when he was closing up about an hour later.
He hung on for most of the next day, and died about 10 that night from a massive brain hemorage.

He was a great guy,quick witted and funny, with a very sick sense of humor, an exceptional musician,with a thirst for knowledge, and was an inspiration to me personally.

This was part of a thread a few weeks ago, but I don't know which one.
Sorry.

I didnt see that in Bear's post. That is crazy.

It's a sad commentary on the human species that someone is killed over such an unimportant thing as a song.

Althouh I am new to the Xmarks forum and the kilted way of life, it amazes me that this can still happen in modern society. While I enjoy a drink as well as the next guy, I can not imagine it casuing me to get angry enough to threaten or attack anothher human being.

Apparently this was somebody's twisted idea of a joke. Considering that Snow Dog is posting on Kiltment today http://www.kiltmen.com/forums/cgi-bi...ames;read=7013

Not too funny if you ask me.

[GlassMan]

It was really twisted. I for one and glad to know that my mourning was unnecessary.

The guy that posted it really needs help. I certainly hope that he gets it. Indeed it was a very sick and twisted matter, I am so grateful that SnowDog is still with us.
