Castor and Reed knew the overwhelming public interest in this matter, and sensing that citizens would oppose their agenda, they took actions which broke laws, breached the public trust, and may well have encouraged political violence.
It is one thing to incite shouting, it is quite another thing to incite violence, or to be negligent in conditions that a reasonable, prudent person would expect violence.
The SEIU union was used to intimidate citizens, and assault Senior citizens. The police took little action to arrest the offenders. When civil liberty violations of this magnitude occur on public property, it is unreasonable for public officials to expect that other citizens will not react with outrage.
The following questions need to be determined under penalty of perjury as part of an on-going investigation:
Did Officials of the Children's Board Violate their non-partisan charter by allowing a partisan group preferential treatment, and sanction violence on their premises? Were the officers of the Children's Board aware of the history of political violence by members of the SEIU? Were these executives negligent by allowing a situation to develop with the possibility or even expectation of violence?
Were members of Reed's or Castor's Staff aware of the SEIU’s history of political violence and intimidation? Did Reed and Castor's Staff encourage partisan or aggressive behavior from the SEIU? These videos provide convincing evidence that Castor and Reed's staff were working in concert with the democrats and unions to orchestrate an environment of chaos.
What were the rules of engagement that were given to the SEIU prior to the event? Were they instructed to shout down or intimidate other attendees? Who came up with the “suckers” that were supposed to ridicule the opponents of the Health Care legislation? Who purchased and distributed these “dumb-dumb suckers.” Did the organizers expect that this tactic would incite further mayhem in the auditorium?
It is one thing to incite shouting, it is quite another thing to incite violence, or to be negligent in conditions that a reasonable, prudent person would expect violence.
What charges of violence and battery should be prosecuted at the individual members of SEIU and should RICCO statues be examined for possible criminal culpability? Should Racketeering charges be brought against members of the Democrat Party? There are numerous testimonies and video tapes of SEIU members being allowed unique and special entrance into the public auditorium, and then given preferential seating. These union members and others were chosen for their size and strength, and placed around the room for full intimidation effect.
I know full well that there is an attitude of tolerance among some public “servants” for political violence. This should not be tolerated any more than any other felony or misdemeanor. If there is a zero tolerance for drunk driving, there should be zero tolerance for political intimidation, otherwise our system of laws is corrupt.
BTTT
BUMP!
We outnumber them.
You obviously missed this post earlier this morning...
Obama's HHS Secretary Sebelius to SEIU: "Keep Doing What You're Doing"
HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius held a brief conference call with SEIU members this afternoon.
She hailed them as her “brothers and sisters” and urged them to show up at town hall meetings.
She gave the same stultifying mini-lecture about the sanctity of Medicare. “Change is not easy,” she droned. “We need to roll up our sleeves.”
No mention of how SEIU thugs rolled up their sleeves and attacked a black conservative protester in St. Louis or ran interference in Tampa Bay.
In an attempt to reassure SEIU members that senior citizens would not suffer under Obamacare, Sebelius said “Saving lives saves dollars.” Which might come as news to Zeke Emanuel. Sebelius thanked an SEIU member who showed up at the Tampa Bay melee and urged more to get involved. “Keep doing what you’re doing.”
SEIU heavy Dennis Rivera then took over, taking calls from scripted SEIU members who read statements (one of which was painfully, barely coherent).
Rivera closed by railing against the “radical fringe” of “right-wingers” and urged his “Purple Army” to fight “terrorist tactics.”
I don't think they are concerned one bit about RICO, being sued for negligence or misappropriation of public assets.
