Mercury DEFEND YOUR PEOPLE #2: Alabama Man Throws Children Off Bridge

Posted by Wm. Steven Humphrey on Fri, Jan 11 at 4:05 PM

Wow. Not only do I have to defend LFO, now I have to defend a fellow Alabamian who threw his kids off a bridge? (See Matt’s post below.) Well luckily, my defense is both simple and airtight:
THE MAN WASN’T ORIGINALLY FROM ALABAMA! Here are the deets…

An Alabama father confessed to throwing his four young children from a high-rise bridge into coastal waters after an argument with his wife, police said on Wednesday.

Lam Luong, 37, of Irvington, Alabama, was charged with four counts of murder and was being held in the Mobile County, Alabama, jail.

BUT GET THIS!

Luong moved to Alabama from Vietnam in 1984 and worked in the commercial fishing industry as a shrimper.

This guy was only a “Alabamian” in the loosest possible sense of the word. He probably doesn’t even have an opinion about which football team is better, Alabama or Auburn.
Consider “my people”… DEFENDED!
