Online Casino Makes Strange Purchase |
| A headline-making online casino has purchased the bathtub which Martin Luther King’s killer stood in while he shot him. The online casino promises to treat the item with the respect it deserves. Can things get any weirder? Can an online casino do anything stranger? This is the question that is asked by readers every time they see the online casinos name in the headlines. This time the eccentric and alternative collector initiators in the online casino organization have gone out and purchased a bath – not just any bath, however – a bath in which James Earl Ray stood in while he took a shot and killed Martin Luther King. The historical item of the bath was purchased by the online casino for $7,600. The bathtub first belonged to D'Army Bailey, a Memphis judge. Bailey is a co-founder of the National Civil Rights Museum located at the site of King's assassination, and he bought the tub back in 1983. Bailey said he was surprised that the online casino wished to purchase the bathtub, but was sure that the online casino would respect its historical sensitivity. The CEO of the online casino said that they are very proud to have purchased this piece of American history and at the same time have the opportunity to help a worthy cause. He continued that Martin Luther King touched many people’s lives and that they would treat the bathtub with respect. The online casino is adding the bathtub to the collection of other historical and alternative items it has purchased in the past. |
