Celebrity justice: A lawyer for the state Franchise Tax Board was jailed last weekend after harassing Sacramento City Councilman Robbie Waters and dozens of other people over the election of President Bush. "I was going to Bel Air to mail a letter and pick up some steaks for dinner, and this guy just went off," Robbie said. "He said, 'Hey, Robbie Waters. Why don't you punch me in the face? Your man Bush won, and you're real proud. Come on, kick me, you (expletive).'" Robbie, a former cop and Sacramento County sheriff, decided not to tangle with the man, Craig Swieso, even when he followed Robbie into the supermarket on Rush River Drive. The councilman called police and waited in the market manager's office. "For the first time in my life, I just walked away," Waters said. "I wanted to get my steaks home." Police arrested Swieso, 46, when he refused to calm down. "I made an ass of myself," Craig said. "I was confronting affluent white males about voting for Bush. They swagger like they they are tough. I was asking them how tough they really are." Swieso, who is white, spent eight hours in jail.

I would have given the jerk one of the steaks.....for his eye.
There is a shot he can take.
This guy would get shot if he pulled this stunt in Texas.
That was a really stinky joke. =;^)
Yet, they wouldn't go after a terrorist.
"Maybe the medication he's taking is idiot pills."
If so, they're really working.
Somewhere in America there's the worst lawyer in America.
Anything above .22 cal. would sffice.
So why is the reporter on a first-name basis with this nutbar?
I just called his law office. His message machine says he will be out of the office until November 15. I wonder why?
Perhaps he ought to go to south Florida and get some of that free counseling they are offering to the losers. He's a lawyer, huh? LOL LOL LOL Too bad the cop is not from Texas - it's not a swagger - it's the way they walk.
What a psychopath. Lock him up.
Oh, that explains it. I see on the CA Bar report that he is a USC Law School graduate. LOL
These people need a Happy Place. Wherever that might be, it's not in the USA, apparently.
He does now!
yes it is...a .45 cal frontal lobotomy!!!
""I was confronting affluent white males about voting for Bush. They swagger like they they are tough. I was asking them how tough they really are." Swieso, who is white, spent eight hours in jail."
I don't understand this and I've been trying to figure it out for about ten minutes. Does this mean something to anybody or is this just the ramblings of a person who has some mental impairment. All joking aside for the moment, maybe this guy is not in command of himself.
