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.
Investigators want to talk to Michael Pratt, son of former acting Mayor Marvin Pratt, who led Sen. John Kerry's Milwaukee campaign, but have not summoned him yet, police sources said. Michael Pratt could not be reached for comment.
David Feiss, the Milwaukee County assistant district attorney who is handling the case, said he had not received any reports yet and the investigation is continuing.
"There are a number of individuals, local and not local, who we are attempting to contact," Feiss said.
He said several of the suspects have hired attorneys. After talking to suspects, police will release them, he said. If there are charges, Feiss said, their attorneys will be contacted to arrange for them to come to court.
Omokunde, who lives with Moore, a Democrat elected to Congress on Tuesday, was not available for comment, according to a man who answered the phone at Moore's home.
Omokunde's attorney, Robin Shellow, said he was booked by police and released, but declined to comment further.
Shellow said she called police to arrange for Omokunde to come in.
"If the police are looking for one's client, you pick up the phone and say (to police), 'What would you like us to do, and how could we make your job easier?' . . . That's the way responsible families handle it."
On Tuesday morning, 27 tires on 20 cars and vans rented by the Republican Party to carry voters to the polls were slashed. The vehicles were parked in the 7100 block of W. Capitol Drive.
A security guard reported seeing a man running from the scene that morning, police said. Tuesday night, police arrested Simmons, who was in town drumming up support for the Kerry campaign.
I understand that Milwaukee's DA is still E. Michael McCann?
What the h.ll kind of a name is Supreme Solar Allah? You wouldn't catch a conservative republican with a silly name like that.. Sounds like something I'd hear on Monty Python.
Wait til you this this piece of work in the Congressional Black Caucus. She might replace Sheila Jackson Lee as the most ignorant black in DC. She's disgusting and an embarassment to the state of Wisconsin, if not all of mankind. Thank the Lord our district was redrawn or she would be represnting me. The horror!
More "reaching out" by the "party of love." Can't you feel it?
The US Attorney for Milwaukee needs a full federal investigation and ALL THOSE associated with this VOTER SUPPRESSION should be PROSECUTED to the fullest extent of the law.
There should be MAXIMUM MEDIA EXPOSURE on the newly elected congressswoman, the mother of this criminal and pressure on the DNC to push her to resign/refuse the election result so another person can be appointed or a special election held.
This is an opportunity for the DemocRATS to try to regain some measure of respect for their party, though I doubt they will.
Good idea, but the Dems won't go for it.
They're in bitter meltdown mode.
But we should still get the word out and get this expose.
"expose"?
*ugh*
me and my typing..
Should read as 'exposed'.
Truthfully,
I'd rather focus on the future.
1. Get Specter OUT of the Judiciary committee
2. Get the US out of the UN
3. Get rid of the IRS and give us the Flat Tax
Yea, that's a good start.
No ego problem there. No sir. What's in a name?
clearly a case for federal charges.

This is an opportunity for the DemocRATS to try to regain some measure of respect for their party, though I doubt they will.Indeed! You are correct. Reminds me of a Tagline I used recently that rings SOOoooo true:
"The GOP throw their trash out. The DemocRATS worship theirs."
" < shaking my head and walking away. >
I believes the words of Calypso Louie in this respect. The question be does you?
Sowande Ajumoke Omokunde, also known as Supreme Solar Allah,
Gee...the Democrat morons wonder why they are perceived as being out of the mainstream. Throw the book at these creeps by sending the Feds after them for voter suppression. These are fully grown adults, not teenagers and they should do time in the slammer like any other felons would.
They meant to say "spawn."
Who do we write to, who do we call, who do we e-mail; to make sure this gets investigated, reported and prosecuted?
4. Get the UN out of the US
So, I guess John Edwards is a good DemocRAT now, eh Meek?haha! Yeah!! Exactly. :^D
