Eddie Adams, Florida Republican Candidate, Gets Burned
Associated Content ^ | 10-24-08 | Ranger

Posted on 10/24/2008 4:21:54 AM PDT by JOLLYDODGER

Florida Congressional candidate Eddie Adams Jr. (R) was admitted to Tampa General Hospital Sunday suffering from severe burns on the hands and arms. He will be undergoing additional skin grafts Tuesday.

A vandal tied a mattress to the underside of Mr. Adams pick-up truck. Friction with the road, and contact with the catalytic converter combined to ignite the bedding.

As he drove down Busch Boulevard in Tampa, Florida, onlookers began to wave and shout

IMO, outside agitators are in Florida doing random acts of violence and intimidation. Floridians do not act this way. Bambi sent 4,000 attorneys and one can only wonder how many thugs Bambi sent to Florida to atttack Republicans.

Would HONEST MEDIA please investigate my claims that outside agitators are attempting to paint Florida as a hostile place? These drive through agitators can't be caught because after they do their crime, they leave the state.

Tampa General is one of the best burn centers in the country. Barack Obama wants change at any cost, just like Rail Odinga in Kenya.

That sounds like something a Haitian from Volusia County might do for a fee. (an illegal alien Haitian).

This sounds like a Haitian attack. That would fit into Ayers' playbook. He merged black liberation army with the weather underground and he may be an English professor but he started this b.s., he sowed the seeds and continues to fan the flames. These are Ayers' dreams, not Bambi's father's dreams. Bambi's book is about Ayers, not Obama, Sr. imo

Ayers may have written Dreams of My Father for BHO.

Here’s a type of thin mattress that could very easily be tied up under a vehicle, especially a truck.

Agreed, tying that up wouldn’t be a big problem. Tying up a standard mattress 8 inches thick, 4+ feet wide under a truck would be difficult. The center would sag and drag alerting the driver. It also would be very visible. A lawn chair “matress” or the like seems much more plausible.

They BURNED vehicles in Kenya during the Odinga takeover riots. Odinga-Obama campaigned in Kenya together for Odinga when Obama was US Senator. Obama didn't even stay in the U.S. when he was actually in DC. Here's about the riots occurring (while Obama and Odinga were in touch by cell phone and email when Bambi was sitting in his Senate Office.)

Burned vehicles in our future??????? Wake up stupid, Bambi-bots!

A paid Haitian illegal from Volusia County. That’s where LE needs to look around.

This is attempted murder. Aggravated battery at the least.

I’m not putting links for anarchists here but googling around, burning mattressees is from the anarchist playbook.

Anarchism: propaganda through deeds. This is a good read about NY Communists and Chicago thugs. They are bombers and firebugs.

FReeper Nick Danger personally spoke with Eddie Adams earlier. Eddie states he does not recall running over a box spring. It was “stuck” under his vehicle. There are conflicting reports about how the mattress ended up under his vehicle.

ND will be reporting shortly.

A Vandal? This sounds like attempted MURDER!

Why don’t you call Eddie yourself, like I did. The mattress was TIED to the frame.

I did call Eddie. Just like you did. I would not characterize him as saying that the mattress (he said 'box spring') was TIED to the frame. He said it was stuck to the frame, but he wasn't sure how it got that way. It may have just been jammed under there while they were trying to get it out from under the truck.

He couldn't imagine running over the thing and not noticing it, but — according to him — others have told him that he ran over it.
