. Seriously he was killed by a kangaroo?

Oh you didn't know?

 

[SouthernStar25]

Senator Hoopenstein was a Great American and Hoosier. You are quite lucky to be able to have worked with Senator Hoopenstein.

He is always missed.

Senator H. was truly a legendary figure. The legacy of LTCH will live on forever. He always told us to carry on -- and so we will.

. Seriously he was killed by a kangaroo?

Yeah, it tried to jump through him. Just like the millions of Hoosiers who want to carry a pistol.

I served with Senator Larry. I knew Senator Larry, he was a friend of mine. None of you are Senator Larry.

Who'da thunk a woodchipper and a cheerleader would bring us to this sorry place?

The historical record shows it was two cheerleaders.

 

[DeadeyeChrista'sdad]

Yeah , but.which one goosed the kangaroo?

 

[PGRChaplain]

Snopes says it was a Wallaby or 2.

 

[Bill B]

I heard a rumor that it was a kangaroo rat that did him in.

I would care to venture a simple artifact from his Statehouse office would garner a nice bid on eBay. Simple piece of stationary or better yet hand written letter.

We could only hope.

PM me. I might have a connection.

Nope. Steiny.

I remember attending a campaign event for Steiny at the Stein Mart parking lot on 86th Street. We are unlikely to see another statesman of his caliber in our lifetimes.

I do envy all you "greying gentlemen" that had the pleasure of knowing Sen. Hoopenstein, I only get to know of his legacy and wonder if I'll ever get a chance to see a man like that in my lifetime.

Is it true that the zookeeper that accidentally released the kangaroo committed suicide shortly thereafter?

 

[HoughMade]

Some call it that because Senator Larry Hoopenstein was the guy behind the bill that was passed into law. His favorite color was pink. He was tragically killed by a kangaroo that had escaped from the Indianapolis zoo. Hence the nickname Larry.

Ironically, the kangaroo was also named "Larry". It's a weird, weird world we live in.

Even stranger is how it got the name. Zoo keepers noted that when it was young it didn't like to be carried in it's mother pouch, they joked that the mother needed a license to carry him.

I too was confused and am now just rolling with it

Familial revenge is the sweetest. It's nice to see Larry III extracting his pound of flesh.
