MILWAUKEE -- The son of first-term U.S. Rep. Gwen Moore is among five Democratic activists charged with vandalizing some Republican vehicles meant to be used on Election Day.
Sowande Omokunde, as well as the son of former acting Mayor Marvin Pratt and three others are each charged with a felony count of criminal damage to property.
The five are accused of cutting the tires on some 20 vans and cars parked in a lot adjacent to a Bush campaign staging office.

Are they Democrats, or are they Democratic?
If they had been Republican activists and had slashed Democratic tires outside Columbus....
Domestic terrorist
Seems to me this is the only documented case I have seen of attempts to suppress votes as john fonda kerry was talking about the other day.
I really doubt any real punishment will be given out in this one. I expect more of a "Tsk! Tsk!" from the judge than anything else.
Geeze it is about time this made the news.
What a surprise - I figured this would be uh put down to boyish pranks. Seems like the Feds should be in on this also but what do I know.......
I bet some people were disenfranchised! How could those democrats do such a thing!
Lead story on CBS news tonight? ha..
I don't think so. He changed his name to Supreme Solar Allah.
Jail time ?
Is this some of the voter suppression that Je$$e Jackson was protesting? /sarcasm....
Now that you mention it, I do recall that from an article from months ago.
I am "supremely" impressed that you have that kind of recall.
Yeah, that's funny.
Democratic activists prevent voting...
I interprested it as a subtle way of shifting the focus away from the Poltical Party.
Call Mentor Solar and ask if he favors the ice pick or the stiletto when slashing tires.
