I wont be satisfied until the guy in the baseball cap loses his job and is arrested for child abuse.

I think simply naming him would do the trick.

BTW, classy statement by Mr. Williams.

Part of the punishment should be determined by looking at the guy's record. Was he just a jerk that day who got carried away but has otherwise led a good life?

If he physically assaulted her, that is very, very serious. If he tore up a sign, it is less serious.

The parents are the ones who will have to find acceptable his ultimate judgment and punishment.

If he has never been in trouble before, I would be satisfied with the following:

1. The reading of a public apology.
2. A short suspension from his union.
3. 100 hours of community service that benefits children.
4. The completion of a community college or extension course about young children and their development.
5. Replacement of the sign he destroyed.
6. Wearing a shirt while performing his community service that says: Attacking conservatives, particulary little girls, is not acceptable political discourse.

If this guy is humiliated in public, it will show the heart and soul of the DemocRATic party and what the union and other RAT thugs are capable of doing. That exposure is a very good thing. One act should not destroy this guy's life.

Well, the union IS this guy's job source, and the "source" of his power (over three year old girls at least.)

Further, the union has probably lost WV to the Bush campaign through HIS specific antics and aggression.

Adding one more thing, this is the first time, anywhere, in any state, when I have noticed that a union president has publicly apologized for any action any union member has EVER done.

Now, I don't work in a union job, nor do I manage union workers, but my assumption is that, when the union president has to go groveling in public to apologize for what one of it's members has done to a 3 year old girl, that particular union member is NOT going to need "disciplinary" action in a civil court.

He's already been disciplined in an "uncivil" court.

Personally, I'd like to get the guy in a room for about 5 minutes, but that would land me in jail!
