Criminal Conspiracy to Suppress The Vote in Milwaukee

The police have made another arrest in the tire-slashing case.

The 25-year-old son of newly elected congresswoman Gwen Moore was arrested Friday by Milwaukee police and later released in connection with the election day slashing of tires on 20 vans and cars rented by the Republican Party, according to police records.

Sowande Ajumoke Omokunde, also known as Supreme Solar Allah, arrived at the Milwaukee police administration building Friday morning with his attorney, was arrested at 9 a.m. and held in the police holding facility for several hours before being released, according to records.

Omokunde is one of three suspects who had been arrested as of late Friday.

Opel E. Simmons III, 33, a veteran Democratic Party activist from Virginia, was arrested Tuesday and released Thursday without being charged. A 24-year-old man was arrested Friday afternoon in the same case, a police source said.

1) The guy from Virgina who was arrested was Opal E. Simmons, III. He isn’t some kid. He’s a veteran Democratic operative who worked on Bill Clinton’s campaign before working for John Kerry.

2) Sowande Ajumoke Omokunde, who was arrested yesterday, is the adult son of newly elected Congresswoman Gwen Moore. Sowande also lives with his Mom, Gwen Moore. Gwen Moore was a State Senator before running for the U.S. Congress.

3) The crime occurred within Gwen Moore’s district. Even though she was not seriously threatened by her GOP opponent, she had a personal stake in suppressing the GOP vote in Milwaukee.

4) Michael Pratt, who has not been arrested yet but who is wanted for questioning, is the son of Marvin Pratt. Marvin Pratt is a known crook who has never shied away from acting outside of the law in order to get elected.

4) The crime was to render inoperable some vans that the GOP had rented for the purpose of ferrying people to the polls on election day. The vandalism was clearly designed to prevent the GOP from using the vans for their intended purpose.

When one takes the fact that the people who appear to have committed the crime were either actively working for the Democratic Party, John Kerry, or were otherwise personally connected with Democratic politicians, the case seems to rise to the level of a criminal conspiracy to suppress the vote. As such, the U.S. Attorney should get involved.
