This is the same load of crap they attempted to use against Don and myself. Union leader, John Morris, intitiating the attack against us to motivate his base to get out and vote for him by accusing my brother on the local evening news of being "planted" by his political rival, Jim Hoffa.
And then accusing us of wanting a fight and on and on.
It was my first EVER public protest, BTW.
Most respectfully, if Mr. Parlock was aware of their tactics, because of his prior experience, it was unwise of him to bring along his three year old little girl and his eleven year old son. That was his only mistake.
Otherwise, if he wants to peacefully protest the opposition, there is nothing wrong with that, even if he is attacked again and again.
The signs of the protesters are their property. No one has a right to grab them and rip them up. It is theft and debasing property.
If the police don't arrest these people for the above, then protesters should start filing private criminal complaints to have them prosecuted and then sue them civilly for violating their rights to peacable assembly and freedom of speech. Period.
Please, STOP! Just stop. Don't even go there.I am on YOUR side, I think. :o)This is the same load of crap they attempted to use against Don and myself.
Personally, I would have counselled Mr. Parlock to set up a counter-FReep area AWAY from the main KerryRAT rally - where is children would have been SAFER...
...and I would have preferred that he co-ordinated his plans in advance with the local autorities, rather than sneaking Bush/Cheney posters in a la Sandy Berger - in his pants and socks.And, he REALLY should have brought along his own cameraman/videographer to document EVERYTHING that happened...
...but there is still NO EXCUSE for ANYONE to intentionally harm a small child, as these union thugs most certainly did.
I agree completely!
