Gingrich security ASSAULTS Ron Paul supporter in FL - ‘Everyone step on his toes!’

[otherone]

Wearing flip-flops is the same as wearing Mittens.

 

[musicmax]

So when's Gingrich going to respond about the savage brutality of his evil supporters and be asked to disown each one by name?

Doughboy was THERE and didn't do anything.

Back from a short hiatus, finally got my blood pressure down over the last month, and this is the first post I post in.


+1 for Dillard for showing restraint...

-5 for Dillard not pressing charges(as of yet?). That would have been the entirety of what came out of my mouth during any and every interview thereafter that incident, not that "I couldn't believe it was happening".

Let me back up a minute...actually, come to think of it, they couldn't interview me-I'd probably be in jail.

That guard that stomped my foot would be having to sip his next Christmas meal through a straw, and they'd cover his recovery in an emotional 20/20 segment next year.








Good to be back, and the wife and I just got back from voting for RP in Florida!

I want to see a pic of his foot.

The campaign staffer you see right behind Callista (on the left), isn't that the same one in this tube (Adam Kokesh get's pushed or 'assaulted')

(I believe Kokesh pressed charges.) PS: I am not implying it was him that 'assaulted' that guy today or that he yelled anything. Just saying this happened before.

If that punk came on me like that he would have lost his life. There is a Stand Your Ground law here in Fla and unless you're dumb enough to wear flip flops at a place where you'll be in contact with these scumbags, there's no way a punk like that would get away with being aggresive and putting or trying to push a person? Oh boy that would be front page news with the gingrich punk going to the hospital if he's lucky and the respondant answering a few questions before leaving on his merry way.

Yeah and you don't need x-ray vision to wonder what he's thinking while looking STRAIGHT forward... At Dillard. Something like 'Target acquired' ?

I have a particular contempt for those who knowingly and willfully engage in the unjust application of force.

You know what they say, though - what goes around, comes around. If I were he I'd spend some time enumerating what is important to him in life, and whether what he's been doing is worth losing all that for.

 

[parocks]

If they didn't want that to happen they shouldn't have walked right up to the guy who was there first to have their little media session.

What I guess I'm saying is that this just happens.

In football, there are tackles.

If you're shocked that this stuff happens, you're just not experienced.

Newt's people wanted good video of Newt. The Ron Paul person was outnumbered. In that situation, heads up.

Moral of the story: climate in Florida is so nice you can run around barefoot in the middle of January.

In defense of flip-flops: when he went back to the garage and grabbed the sign, there was nobody there. He wasn't expecting a confrontation, he wasn't expecting Newt Gingrich himself to show up. He wasn't dumb to wear flip-flops. He just thought he was going to peacefully stand there with a sign - no reason not to wear flip-flops.

 

[affa]

Sounds like this dillard guy has no balls.

WTF?

 

[MrTudo]

Just returned and took a pic outside the middle school where our district votes. There were half a dozen Ron Paul signs and NO OTHER SIGNS FOR ANY OTHER CANDIDATE.

Frankly I believe this place is so rotten to the core they are taking our votes and giving some of them to romney and the other slimebags.

I asked about the camera and I'm surprised the 80 year old behind the table didn't have a heart attack. NO! NO! NO CAMERAS ARE ALLOWED IN HERE! I then asked for an extra ballow and again the eyes got wide ( what assholes I swear, you KNOW they are romney supprters. ) and OH NO, THEY USED TO PUT A COPY OF ONE IN THE PAPER ( it's like another country. I speaky english gooood enuff for yooo? )

There was a small line which dispersed within 10 minutes or so. My Wife and I both voted for Dr Paul and we both had our Ron Paul Revolution ( Wife) and Ron Paul 2012 shirts ( me ) on.

I'm 57 years old and reluctantly changed my voters card from Libertarian ( LP ) to republican just so we could vote for Dr Paul in the primaries. This week we'll go back to the oversized government building and change it back to LP. It disgusts me to even have republican anywhere in my wallet.

Then we went to sweetbay in Punta Gorda and bought some filet mignons for the grill. Oh yeah

Eh, I hate flipflops. Grown men shouldn't wear them.

And feet are icky.

 

[bkreigh]

That is opposite of what happened to me. There was only one other guy that was there when i went. No shit it said i was only the 147th person to vote (im in St Petersburg). Couldnt believe it.

I got one guy at work to vote for RP. I have been working on my boss for a while and today he said "Well looks like its between Paul and Gingrich." Thats better than the 25% chance we had couple weeks ago.

 

[MrTudo]

I just watched the video with kokesh. Are you sure he was in the marines? I find it hard to believe.

 

[alucard13mmfmj]

oh. lol. i just posted this in the opposing candidate section XD.. ah well.

 

[Eric39]

So Gingrich came by my hometown today where my mom was at. I have converted her so she had a Ron Paul sign she was holding up as Gingrich's bus rolled up. A man asks why shes doing that, long story short, all the campaign advisors there knew my grandpa in Ohio and so they take my mom to the front to meet Gingrich. She tells him she's voting for Paul because of family in the military. All the Gingrich supporters don't know why lady with Ron Paul sign got an escort to the front. I should have gone with her.

 

[pmbug]

He should file a police report for assault and battery.

 

[libertybrewcity]

is there a video?

 

[pmbug]

is there a video?

They were surrounded by cameras and media. You'd think someone got "footage".
