This spared Koernke from having to explain his 1984 arrest for carrying a concealed weapon (he reportedly received a suspended sentence) or his 1986 arrest for felonious assault.

Oliver Stone movies kill people? Please...
...criticism the works of Bruce Willis and Sylvester Stallone. This, some have speculated, is because they are fellow Republicans. But that's not really the issue.
