He’s 46 and he wrote the fiction(either book or paper I’m not sure) when he was 15 so it could have been 1988

In 1988 comic books were pretty big...and they were almost all violent.
Is it that out of the ordinary that a 15 year old would write their own comic book ?

Wasn’t out of the ordinary at all. I don’t think this will hurt him. He gave Cruz a run for his money in a conservative state. Unless something worse comes out, he’ll be fine.

No it’s not. People wrote weird fan fiction all the time. Some are violent and some have rape scenes. It doesn’t mean that the author is a rapist or violent.

I read somewhere he was also arrested for DWI and Burglary in 1998. I have to see if I can fine the article.

Question, if none of the things in Trump's past matter why would any of this?

O’Rourke’s May 1995 misdemeanor arrest on the UTEP campus was later declined and his September 1998 misdemeanor DWI arrest in El Paso was dismissed.

The check gave us case numbers for the arrests enabling us to fetch an El Paso County record stating that O’Rourke was initially arrested in May 1995 and that case was disposed of in February 1996. We saw too that after the DWI arrest, according to another county record, O’Rourke was referred to a misdemeanor diversion program in March 1999 and completed "DWI school" in May 1999. That document’s last entry, dated Oct. 20, 1999, says: "Misdemeanor diversion completed successfully."
