Woman Tells Police Being a Republican Should Keep Her Out of Jail

Diners at a West Des Moines restaurant ran into two things that don’t mix – alcohol and politics – not long before President Barack Obama and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney meet in their second presidential debate.

After an encounter that neither candidate likely approved, Charlene Idelle Hunziker, 47, of Council Bluffs was charged with public intoxication and harassment of public officials.

Authorities were called to P.F. Chang’s China Bistro at Jordan Creek Town Center about 3:45 p.m. Friday after restaurant employees tried to eject Hunziker for upsetting other diners with her political rant, according to a report on file at the West Des Moines Police Department.

Officer Chris Morgan said in his report that when he arrived, Hunziker reportedly yelled at him and said he didn’t need to be there because “she was a Republican.”

I just hope the raving, drunken repub wasn't carrying.

Being a rethug will protect you, only demoncrats are punished for bad behavior.

when nobody presses charges. The 'Boys being Boys' meme has got to go, along with all of the other false narratives that the Right has been foisting on the Public for the last 50 Years.

You said it, I only need a little more time to figure out how to get rid of it . It hasn't happened by chance, that is for sure.

they don't think are above being punished, because never think they are wrong. IMO they think being Republican means they are the most moral and upstanding and therefore never commit bad behavior.

of criminals and perverts way too long to list.

I've had this idea that the people should declare a 'law enforcement strike". We stop all cooperation with law enforcement and the criminal justice system. No one reports anything or testifys. We revolt on juries and whatever else we can to bring it to a stop. Maybe with the exception of crimes involving children but that's all. Let the people at the top know we won't stand for two seperate justice systems. One for wealthy people where anything goes while filling up the prisons with the lower classes.

It'd never happen but it would sure get their attention!
