2 Prominent Milwaukee Leaders' Sons Charged With Election Day Tire Slashing
Snippet:
Republican Party of Wisconsin Chairman Rick Graber issued a statement following the charges that called the tire slashings "political sabotage."
"This is a case that should outrage citizens of all political stripes. It is extremely troubling to see the depths to which the Democrat Party will sink to disrupt the political process through criminal means -- all in an effort to prop up the Democrats' flailing candidates and floundering agenda. This was not merely a case of hooligans committing an act of vandalism. This was a deliberate attack on our electoral system," Graber said.

BTTT
it's a start.
I can only hope a roll-up commences.
Of course they condone such actions,...its "fighting the Good Fight",a badge of courage
Bull.
that's 'RaggOt'!! ;) LOL!
This story is getting absolutely zero coverage in the Peoples Republic of Madison just 70 miles down the road.
Bull.
Agreed. Like Corporate America, money and/or "community service" is a joke to these people. Spending time with "Big Eddie" or "Big Rosie" in a tiny cell block would have a most salutory effect.
Sadly, I expect a wrist-slapping.
Bust their asses with a huge fine, then lock their smart asses up for the maximum....
These bastards attempted to "disenfranchise" voters that needed a ride to the polls....
DISENFRANCHISED!!!!!! The Horror!!
It should be noted that the man who owned the rental agency from which these vans were contracted is a personal friend and he informs me that the Wisconsin Republican Party has very graciously compensated him for his financial loss. Kudos to Chairman Graber.
It would be nice to see "The Great Solar Allah" do some time in a nice dark cell.
"..don't send them to jail. Make'em pay a juicy fine."
Disagreement here. Juicy fine AND jail time, then probation til after the next Presidential election. Of course, this is going to be tried in Wisconsin, so they'll probably just get 5 hours of community service, maybe cutting the local Dim party's lawn.
. . .Howard should be screaming by now. . .but I don't hear him or. . 'it'.
Wouldn't it be rich if they all lost their franchise because of a felony conviction?
Wanna bet they get probation?
Those tires definitely had civil rights written all over them. This should not be taken lightly. They should get 10 years. My bet is they will get probation.
Hey, you said that first! (see posts 37 and 38)
