Kerry speech A heckler, shouting at John Kerry about Vietnam war atrocities, was manhandled by sheetmetal workers sitting nearby and escorted from the building. (Photo by Michael E. Keating/The Enquirer)

Well, I almost wished it was me so I could bury that a$$hole. I'd stomp his a$$ and he would be choking on his n...
Yes, it is both. I'd shoot for attempted murder even, judging by the way he grabbed for the neck like that. His middle finger appears to be approaching the caroted artery.
Sorry Spunkets, I am missing your point. Please advise? He was taken out by a union bully who had other yellow shirts in the crowd nearby.
Sent them an email they would rather not read.
"Seeing the protestor tackled and beaten by your union thugs when he dared to speak against the toady Kerry demonstrates the underlying brutality of unions today.
The agressive and chilling antics of your union members do not belong in America. Our forefathers came to America to escape the despotic operatives of their native lands.
Unions like yours should be challenged to reform or disappear!
Brownshirt fascists like the ones in your membership will not be tolerated."
Union goons.
LOL! I thought the very same thing, "Union goons", and posted it before I read yours!
Good point.
In my case, the family members who went to Federal Pen for their BA were not the thug types, excellent craftsmen with families, but they got their orders on what to do with the Grand Jury. Bad choice on their part but in their minds, what choice did they have? Sad.
Yeah, and it looks like a definite neck injury caused by that anti-free speech Kerryite. I'd sue the bastard! Give em a taste of their 'own medicine'.
I wonder what the union thug would have done if it had been a woman heckling. Same thing, probably.
Not unless the person doing the inhibiting is acting under "color of law."
That's bogus of course, since thug enforcers like the attacker in this incident are simply acting to harass, intimidate and otherwise force folks to go along with the programs and interests of the union bosses. I doubt very much that these guys were simple members of the local, since they were sitting with a former mayor and US Congressman from Cincinnati.
After the Kerry-Edwards ticket goes down in flames in November, I'm sure that Edwards would be more than happy to go after the Heinz-Kerry deep-pockets.
The sheet metal union guy WAS security. The Kerry Edwards campaign uses union guys as perimeter security at their events. There are only a few Secret Service agents and they are only there to protect the candidates.
Security at Kerry/Edwards events is a joke, unlike security at presidential events.
