Jewish Defense League leader Irv Rubin has been left brain dead after attempting to silt his throat in prison. The reason he's in prison in the first place (in case you didn't hear), he felt it'd be a good idea to blow up Rep. Issa's offices since he was an Arab-American. [more inside]

From right here: "Irv Rubin and Earl Krugel will be in Judge Lew's courtroom (room 21) on Monday, November 4th at 10am. Important defense motions will heard and ruled on at that time. The address of the federal courthouse is 312 North Spring Street. Come and show your support for innocent JDL leaders who are being railroaded by the federal government!"



From the article: "Rubin, 57, had been taken from his cell at the federal Metropolitan Detention Center in downtown Los Angeles at about 5 a.m. PST (8 a.m. EST) on Monday when he slashed his throat with a razor blade and then jumped or fell over a railing."

Al least he's now mentally on-par with the rest of the JDL.
