According to the youtube account that posted the video of the event this shocking act of intimidation happened during a public forum held by Rep Melissa Bean (Il-8) in a public library in Round Lake, Il. The video speaks for itself and, quite frankly, this is disturbing behavior from any elected official. No wonder they kept asking everybody to turn off their video cameras.
I know this isnt anywhere near the first time that liberal representatives have turned to extreme measures to avoid being held accountable by their constituents, in fact we have a whole catalog of such extreme measures, but this is worse than most. What kind of thug hires muscle to literally physically intimidate their own voters? This is simply despicable.

The party of speech codes, Hatespeech, and “McCarthism!” doesn’t like free speech—they like the CORRECT speech.
If this guy stood over me and told me how to behave, you’d have had a more exciting video.
The thug’s Nazi uniform must have been at the laundry
wow, mark.
That really is a stunning video. And this coming from a suburban Chicago district. Stunning.
It’s the Illinois Nazi Party!
I’m tired of people whining about “he got into my space” or “he intimidated me”. Fight back.
Why are we not surprised to find the lady with the blond hair and neatly botoxed face hanging around with a skin-head. This scene just reeks of '30s Nazi symbolism.
I love you...
That is really funny of you are fan of the "Blues Brothers"....
Yes it is really scary big brother thuggery. I'd like to know which Union Mr. Blue Shirt is with...
Isn’t that nice? She brought her own goon to the meeting.
When one of her thugs show up at every polling place in her district in Nov. she will win by 20 points.
BTTT and mark for later reading.
That’s district 8. Phil Crane’s district. Used to be a ‘safe’ district, until Bean beat him in ‘04. They intend to keep this district by any means.
Are people that easily cowed?
This will stop when people make it stop.
Physically if necessary. Not violently, per se but by ignoring the intimidation. If nothing else, make them initiate contact.
Dang it all...WE still run this country!SCRU these “people”. This will NOT become a fascist state.
I agree . Where I come from she would need a bigger thug, and more of them.
Someone should have asked the thug if he was a police officer, if not he should sit down and shut up.
Guess I’ll have to attend one of Degett’s meetings to see what they think they can get away with.
Ya know, if you grab the big guys ankle and stand up real fast, they make a big “THUD” when they hit the ground.
Ugh, that made my blood boil just watching it.
later
