A follow-up to a story that I posted about the other day:The man who won [Alaska's] first half-million dollar lottery was attacked on a downtown street this afternoon with a tire iron or metal pipe, according to Anchorage police.
That's messed-up.
Police say Alec Ahsoak, 53, was attacked at about 3:30 p.m. when a man, accompanied by two women, approached him to ask if he was the man who won the $500,000 jackpot.
Whether the attack was motivated by Ahsoak's winning the lottery or the widely distributed reports that Ahsoak is a three-time convicted sex offender is not known.
I'm not trying to defend a child-molester, but the guy was convicted and served his time. Now, after winning this lottery prize, the guy is donating $100,000.00 to a charitable organization that benefits victims of rape. It seems to me that this guy is genuinely trying to get his life back on track, and then some wanna-be-Tonya-Hardings go to work on him with a makeshift metal weapon.

That is pretty messed up. While I think the media was simply doing there job, the fact that they reported it really did paint a bulls eye on the guy. Anchorage can be a fairly rough city.
