Way to go, MK!
Believe you hit ‘em so hard, they’ll still be choking on their brand muffins tomorrow morning. Man, that’s gonna leave a mark.
Shock and Awe: They’re shocked and your post was awesome.

Well I appreciate the kind words Ernie, and I'm going to condense this post into an answer to Wintertime's posts #46 and #55 and just say that it is clear that some posters in this thread are automatically assuming that Douglas Kennedy was in the WRONG, why?

Because of his name. Now as I've already stated, I take a backseat to NObody in loathing the Kennedys, especially the dead Fat Teddy, however my opinion on the Kennedys or Douglas Kennedy is irrelevant to the issue under discussion.

We have: the father of a newborn infant who claims to have obtained permission to take his son for a walk. It will be soon be determined whether or not this is true. As with ANY American accused of wrongdoing, they are presumed to be innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

From another account of this incident, I find this highly interesting:

"An emergency room doctor who was visiting Kennedy and saw what happened, defended his boyhood friend in a statement that reads: 'I can state unequivocally that the nurses were the only aggressors. To charge Mr. Kennedy with a crime is simply incomprehensible.'"

...and:

"The nurses told police the baby's head was "shaking violently from side to side." ... Kennedy's lawyer denies that, adding the baby slept through the whole thing. Attorneys for both sides agree that the baby was not injured."

Now for the money shot:

"It's unclear whether the nurses will sue Kennedy civilly. However, a few weeks ago, they sent Kennedy a letter suggesting that he might want to hire a lawyer."

(from www.necn.com)

Sounds to me like two nurses with more testosterone in their veins than estrogen are gearing up for what they think might be a BIG pay day. IF they were assaulted and injured as they claim, Douglas Kennedy would not have been walking around free as a bird for 7 weeks while the D.A. got around to filing MISDEMEANOR charges against Kennedy.

I reiterate: I don't like the Kennedys, but this looks like two thug-nurses deciding to throw their weight around, and naturally there is an FR lynch mob eager to back them to the hilt.
