Trial Date Set for Suit on Elian Gonzalez Raid

From Times Wire Reports


U.S. District Judge Michael K. Moore set a Monday trial date to hear claims of a dozen people who said they were wrongly assaulted by federal officers during the raid that removed Elian Gonzalez from his family's home.

The plaintiffs say they were innocent bystanders who were gassed and beaten outside the home during the raid on April 22, 2000.

Gonzalez was one of three survivors of a shipwreck that killed his mother and others fleeing Cuba.

He was returned to his father in Cuba.

Our government's agents really work fast, considering they were in and out of the house with Elián and driving away in around 5 minutes. How DID they find the time to brutalize all these Cuban-Americans, as well as trash the Gonzalez house, while shouting off filthy words and threats at Marisleysis (so she claimed, and why would you doubt her) and tearing off the door to the bedroom and throwing it on the floor?
