This thread is to compile VERIFIABLE facts people believe to be the true state of convention activity.
MUCH OF THIS MAY BE RELEVANT TO THE LAWSUIT THE Ron Paul supporter just filed in Louisiana -- I would love that to show a pattern and practice, heck, RICO may apply.
This was initially started to give more facts for the LFRP lawsuit but we are continuing collection for other purposes, potential other lawsuits, exposes, etc. Please keep your comments ONLY to what happened, who can verify it, and, if you were an eye witness, if what is posted is or is not accurate. Post actual evidence as well, if you have it, briefly saying how it fits in. Also, those willing to sign affidavits to the facts should identify to which part of the facts they are willing to attest. TRUE IDENTITIES of affiants should be restricted to pms.
I will clean up and add more to this first post later but Torchbearer did say it was accurate, and he was there and would sign an affidavit or testify if needed. Key document links will be collected and added to the bottom of this post.
Who what when where and how (can't possibly need why)
Private security (off duty police) in Louisiana State GOP convention at the specific bidding of Villiers, the self appointed temporarty chair of the convention manhandled the rightful rules chair duly elected the night before by the majority of the rules committee to force him from his elected office at the convention, breaking his fingers in the process. This even though during the process the self appointed temporary chair was removed from his seat by a majority of the state convention. Thereafter, at the bidding of Villiers, other private security manhandled Herford, the newly elected chair of the convention, knocking him to the floor and injuring his newly implanted prosthetic hip, requiring that he be removed from the convention by ambulence, and preventing him from contiuing with his duly elected position at the state convetion, requiring the election of a new chair.
Gilbert is FREE TO USE THAT in the complaint.

The issue is, the complaint needs to present a plausible claim of a violation of law with specificity. Who, what, when, where, how, and why. Apparently the complaint states the basics, but does not go into enough detail of exactly what happened to whom, and when, and where, and all that. This is why the defense is asking for it to be thrown out.
Gilbert nailed him to the wall on the issue of "plausibility" especially when it came to the Mass. delegation, and that one was mentioned in the amended complaint too, and the judge seemed to agree.
Basically, it needs to be re-written with more specifics included in the actual complaint.
