As you may have heard, Supreme Court Justice, and George HW Bush appointee David Souter was assaulted while jogging. Reports at this point seem to suggest this was a random attack.

The Freepers are of course, coming to their own conclusions:

Let's think about this. Souter is a bachelor. Lives alone. Rumors abound that he is , let's say, not in the mainstream.He's "jogging", at night, maybe in a park, when some "yuths" assault him. He wasn't robbed.

Uhhhh...

There is a reason that John Grisham wrote about a Supreme Court Justice hiding in the closet and visiting gay porno theaters. Perhaps a certain lifelong N.H. bachelor has something to tell about his late night George Michael-type strolls.

Perhaps the youths were offended at being propositioned.

...And so on.

I'm impressed that some of these people bring up Supreme Court Justices and porno without the slightest sense of historical irony.
