Protestors Ransack Bush/Cheney Headquarters In Orlando
2004-10-06
A group of militants protestors stormed and then ransacked a Bush-Cheney headquarters building in Orlando, Fla., Tuesday, according to Local 6 News. Local 6 News reported that several hard boyz people from the group of 100 Orlando protestors face possible assault charges after the group forced their way inside the Republican headquarters office. While in the building, some of the activists protestors drew horns and a mustache on a poster of President George W. Bush and poured piles of letters in the office, according to the report. "We told them to leave, they broke the law," Republican headquarters volunteer Mike Broom said. Two protestors received minor injuries when the crowd stormed the building, as well as a Republican volunteer. One of the protestors said she wanted to send a message:
"Kids, get your BDS treated early, before it eats your brain. I didn't, and look at me. I'm a mess."

#11  I wonder if the vandalism is actually a cover for theft of information pertaining to GOTV efforts, such as has recently happened in Washington State.

#10  Robert, I think the idea of this tactic is to stop short of anything that can be lumped into a racketeering charge. There is an animal rights group in England that does a lot of this harassment type of stuff that basically adds to the price of doing business until the target gets exasperated but is left without much of a legal recourse. An example of this type of tactic would be flooding an organizations fax machine to prevent their use of the device.

#9  Open letter to Al "Al" Gore:

October 6, 2004

Dear Al,

What color shirts were these various attackers wearing?

Best,

#8  The AFL-CIO follows in the steps of the SEIU in devolving into common thugs?

Where are the police batons ... and isn't the US military busy killing similar "rowdies" in Iraq? *wink*

I don't necessarily advocate retaliation in kind for all blackshirt lefty outrages, but I thought it might be appropriate for this example of superior Demo nuance and intellect.

#5  Note that this was part of a coordinate set of attacks -- another campaign HQ was attacked the same way in Wisconsin, and there were 18 or more other protests that appear to have been stopped before they got violent.

I think it's time for some federal prosecutors to start subpoening(sp?) lots of people and organizations.

#4  This must be what Kerry means by reaching out to allies. The French and the Germans have been giving the Democrat faithful lessons on the use of organized violence by brownshirts to influence elections.

Or, they've been learning things from their (religion of peace) allies. Imagine that'll happen if they'll win.

#1  Since mass media will naturally ignore their own side's misdeeds, there is now a website that tracks and documents Democrat storm-trooper tactics:When angry Democrats Attack
The tempo is increasing exponentially. A prediction: "Fort Sumter" will be in Florida this time around.
