    “As I neared the young ones, I put all my weight on my right foot, keeping the accelerator pedal on the floor until I heard the crashing of the two children on the hood, and then the sharp cry of pain from one of the two,” he wrote.

    “I was so fascinated for a moment, that when after I had stopped my vehicle, I just sat in a daze, sweet visions filling my head,”(Robert Francis O'Rourke at age 15)

    Not that I like Beto, I don't, but don't you think you should identify the source of those quotes as from a work of fiction?

    Don't you think folks already know that? They might not know that he was 15 when he wrote it or other particular facts about it; however, the fact is that he wrote it--fiction or not. And we all have the right to be able to draw our own conclusions about a person who would write such garbage . . .

    There are plenty of authors, widely acknowledged as giants in their fields, who have written millions of pages containing much more disturbing imagery.

    I have plenty of reasons to dislike his candidacy but some bad prose he wrote when he was a kid isn't one of them.

    benenglish,

    IF "Bobbie" O'Rourke was a GOP candidate, the DIMocRATS would be "screaming for his head", despite the FACT that what "Bobbie" wrote is FICTION.

    yours, satx

    True enough, Ben. However, I still judge him for having put the unthinkable onto paper. He probably thought he was being edgy or cool, but I can’t slice it that way.
