Rubin was the leader of the Jewish Defense League; Krugel was a fellow activist. <br><br>Some might remember Rubin's terrible fate in 2002, in the Los Angeles Federal Detention Center, falling 20-30 feet onto cement, with a slit throat. His death, nine life-supported days later, was ruled a suicide. <br><br>This past Friday at the Phoenix Federal Correctional Intitution, <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>a mere three days after being transferred there</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->, Krugel was slapped in the head with a concrete block, killing him. Krugel had just pled guilty in September. <br><br>Oh, and there's one more thing, Krugel was attacked on the third anniversary of Rubin's precipitous fall. <p></p><i></i>
