editing.

just saw previous post about law regarding pics in polling place

 

[Apparition]

do not try to take pictures in the polling place .. you will get kicked out

If it's outside the polling station in public area, it's fair gaime, no?

I'm pretty sure the law prohibits the act of recording/photography and not just the equipment being present.

Newt Gingrich represents collectivism, be it communism or socialism or fascism does not matter. Collectivist require violence to succeed. Therefore do not be surprised when collectivist use violence.

No, more like, Headline: "Ron Paul supporter assaults Gingrich security with his bare toes, fakes foot injury, should Dr. Paul drop out?"

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

 

[CaseyJones]

if you are outside I can find nothing prohibiting it ,,, though if anyone is exit polling do it outside of 100 ft of the doors

 

[trey4sports]

yahoo has a frontpage article about it and it is very fair

Because this guy kept his cool the story is about the Gingrich supporters. Hopefully others will keep this in mind if they find themselves in imilar situations.

I love how this guys name is similar to Eddie Willers!

Sounds like this dillard guy has no balls. That said he should call the police and press charges. Surely there are witnesses who will back him up. That's assault and while I would PREFER to deal with it man to man, that guy should call the cops.

I wouldn't be so hard on the Paul supporter here, he was probably trying to not create a stir since it ALWAYS gets blamed back on us/Paul.

That said though, my life long dream is to be inches away from Newt when a pushing and shoving match starts up.

If this stuff is happening more and more and in Florida of all places, what will it be like in well contested places like Washington State or one on one contests like Virginia...? It could get very ugly before it all ends, be safe out there.

Dillard, a Florida RP supporter stands his ground against Newt !

http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/...ich-security-harasses-ron-paul-165042767.html

WINDERMERE, Fla.--Next time, Eddie Dillard won't wear flip-flops.

Dillard, a 29-year-old Ron Paul supporter from this suburb near Orlando, arrived to vote at his precinct at Winderemere Baptist Church early Tuesday morning. Pulling into the parking lot, Dillard noticed a man outside the polling place with a Gingrich sign. He decided to run home, slip into his "Ron Paul Rocks America" T-shirt, grab a "Ron Paul 2012" sign from his garage, and return to give his candidate some representation outside the precinct after he cast his vote.

Dillard found a quiet spot along a sidewalk lined with tiny American flags and held up his sign. Little did he know, Newt Gingrich had chosen that very spot to make his first Primary Day campaign stop.

When Gingrich's bus pulled up, Dillard stood silently holding his sign and watched the news-media horde swamp the candidate. Gingrich stepped down from the bus and made a beeline for Dillard. He stopped in front of Dillard and his sign and parked himself for a round of handshaking and pictures with voters. The placement couldn't have been worse. There was Gingrich, standing with his wife Callista at their first event of the day, and a giant Ron Paul sign floated inches from their crowns.

Noticing the awkward optics, Gingrich aides and security personnel swarmed Dillard, trying to intimidate him into moving. One of Gingrich's security agents stepped in front of him. When Dillard didn't budge, the agent lifted his heeled shoe over Dillard's bare foot and dug the back of it into his skin, twisting it side-to-side like he was stomping out a cigarette. Shocked, Dillard kept his ground and took a picture of the agent with his phone, which was quickly knocked out of his hand. Dillard slipped off his flip-flop to pick up the phone with his foot, and a Gingrich supporter kicked the sandal away.

"Don't kick me!" Dillard said to the man who knocked away his sandal. More members of Gingrich's security retinue approached, shoving their shoulders and chests in front of him.

"Just block him!" a Gingrich campaign aide said. "Everyone step on his toes!"

The media has much less to spin since he just stood his ground.

I can't say I would have handled it that passively. The punks would have had a size 11.5 steel toe boot stuck up where the sun don't shine.

Call the cops, file a complaint with Assualt and Bettery charges... have the thugs arrested.
