Alabama 31, Florida 3 - After the beating

The Honorable Bob Riley
Birmingham, Alabama

Dear Governor Riley:

I write today on behalf of many of my fellow citizens who are unable to do so for themselves as a result of physical and mental injuries sustained in a vicious attack while on an October 1, 2005 field trip to Tuscaloosa. During this visit, a group of University of Florida students were suddenly and unexpectantly set upon by Alabama hooligans and for sixty minutes were mercilessly beaten while their friends and family watched in impotent horror.

It is on their behalf that I register our protests of the barbarity of the attack in which the Florida students were repeatedly beaten, manhandled, gang tackled, and mauled. While they tried to defend themselves they were ultimately and brutishly overpowered. Needless to say the mental anguish suffered by their friends and family having been forced to watch this outrageous atrocity is undoubtedly enormous and may in some cases require long recoveries.

It is on the behalf of these victims that I demand you take immediate steps to identify the perpetrators of this outrage and ensure that they receive their just rewards.

Thank You,

A Concerned Floridian
