  pagelink

  100 per cent hardcore racist: Interview with Kevin ‘Bear’ Hartline, Sheila Hartline, Dallas, 21 June 2008.

  pagelink

  Yeah, he was pretty much prejudiced: Interview with Stroman friend, Dallas, 25 June 2008.

  Fuck you: Exhibit 120, Vol. 19.

  pagelink

  pagelink

  That’s not my style: trial testimony, Vol. 19; interview, Ronnie Galloway, 20 June. Stroman denies that this conversation ever took place. In the light of what happened next, however, and how Tom Boston came to be involved, it seems that he is probably mistaken.

  pagelink

  Something’s happened: Patel, 28 June.

  pagelink

  Have you SEEN this?: Bob Templeton, 22 June.

Findings from the World and Change in American Research Project on Patriotism after 9/11 (April, 2002); Jennifer Scanlon, The Selling of 9/11. According to the website, www.entrepreneur.com, flag purchases went up from 20 million to 50 million in 2001; one flag tie-pin manufacturer told Newsday that sales had leapt from 1,000 a month to 300,000. It wasn’t only flags. Patriotic merchandising included exclusive 9/11 Beanie Babies (a bear, America’, and a dog, ‘Courage’); ‘Liberty’ pillows (‘speak our heart and belief in country and freedom’); firearms (a Beretta ‘United We Stand’ pistol), pet accessories (Petsmart’s ‘Patriotic Cat Toy Value Pack’ – including a stars-and-stripes catnip mouse) and childcare items. The appeal of most of these products proved short-lived. ‘Little Patriot’ nappies, featuring a stars-and-stripes design, were removed from the market when it was pointed out that defecating on – or disposing of – the US flag, was a federal offence.

  pagelink

  We were all talking about: Dodd, 25 June.

  pagelink

  There’s a man: Patel, 28 June.

  pagelink

  Waqar Hasan . . . Raisuddin Bhuiuian: Police documents on these shootings are filed under FOI-40949 NV.

  pagelink

  in none of these crimes: During Oatman’s cross-examination, Bhuiuian revealed that he had placed the cash drawer on the counter, then taken a number of steps backwards. His assailant had not reacted. ‘Did the man reach for the money?’ asked Oatman. ‘No,’ replied Bhuiuian. ‘He didn’t even look towards the money. Rather he asked me a question . . . then he shot me.’

  pagelink

  all that same stuff: Trial transcript, Vol. 21, 4 April.

  pagelink

  Stroman was suffering: Dr Judy Stonedale, trial transcript, Vol. 21, 4 April.

  pagelink

  in extreme distress: Dr Mary Connell, trial transcripts, Vol. 21, 4 April. Prior to 9/11, Stroman was ‘paranoid, suspicious, guarded, incredibly distressed, angry, agitated. In short . . . he was virtually out of control’.

  pagelink

  The jury didn’t care: Prior to the salute, there was a brief exchange with the judge, Henry Wade Jr, whom Stroman clearly admired. ‘Mr Stroman, good luck to you,’ Wade told him after reading the sentence. ‘Have a good one,’ Stroman replied. ‘Thank you, sir.’
