Anti-Healthcare Rally in Milwaukee Turns Violent!

[yoyossarian]

Shit, this stuff is getting TOTALLY out of control!!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hs46jsrPTEg

I looked up and saw an angry mob of angry white men chasing an older white man with a backpack. He was yelling "I have a right to free speech too." The crowd was yelling, "You should die. You're not an American., etc..." They started grabbing at him as he kept trying to leave the event. The crowd was growing (eventually to about 30 people) and the man clearly scared and angry and being grabbed, pushed and surrounded to impede his attempts to escape, I believed was in imminent danger. He was shouting back at them and attempting to defend himself from the crowd and the sheriffs about 300 yards away couldn't see what was going on because of the vendor booths in their way. I made a decision and ran to get the sheriffs.

The man traveled about 300 yards attempting to escape the growing crowd. The crowd was riled up and screaming en masse, continuing to chase the man down, stop his movement, push and pull on his and in general attack the guy.

Then Joe the Plumber joined the tussle. I kid you not. I have no idea his role in it, just that he was IN THE MIDDLE of the crowd. The sheriffs get there, I turn to look at Joe the Plumber and the next thing I know the guy being assaulted by the crowd is bloody on the ground under the knee of two sheriffs and being cuffed. His face was bloody...

I'm so fucking sick of this shit. I feel like I'm living not in America, but in Hell.

Then again, what do I expect? After 8 years living under the WARHEADS, I'm really afraid we've already lost the war here...

22. If you are not for them then they will be against you

A dangerous place to be and they want it that way. Even better if the police and sheriffs are on their side isn't it? In the hive if you don't fit you get tossed out or stung to death, there is not disagreement in the Body of Christ is the Nation kind of mind. They have their reality and they are sticking to it! You'd better too if you want to live in their coming holy utopia. Otherwise it may be a toxic cleanup death camps for you and me as un-people, cursed by God for transgressions as they see fit to mark us with. They won't allow for neutrals or non-combatants unless we can use the forces that still remain in our Republic to stop this before it takes us over. Once the other side of the Great Depression hits it will be much too late. We must not let our gov't fall even if it is corrupt and riddled with problems. We don't want the alternative that is waiting to swop in and "save us" from chaos and worse. When that happens, health care will be the least of our worries when we need food and water to survive another day.

23. Wow man.....wow.

[midnight]

2. Sounds like they have the wrong person.

[HughMoran]

3. Good, they are losing control

This will be their undoing.

[AllentownJake]

8. They will kill somebody

They already have.

[Kievan Rus]

24. Richard Poplawski, George Sodini, and Scott Roeder are among those

This shit is getting scary and I fear it is only going to get worse.

[fasttense]

4. So now the sheriffs are protecting the neo-Nazis.

From harmless people who dare object to NOT getting health care. This is a seriously sick society.

[dembotoz]

17. sheriff clark in milwaukee is openly rw

the dept. seems more moderate

[Roland99]

5. Were they doing that to the victim just to get him away and get him medical treatment?

[Roland99]

6. Ok, no. What the officers did was way outta line. And that Freeper w/the camera?

"He was asking for trouble."


Victim's fault mentality.



Fucking pieces of shit right-wingnuts.

[AllentownJake]

7. They are behaving like Nazis did in the late 20s early 30s

I don't throw that word around much, but they are literally acting like Nazis.

[Nipper1959]

10. I have to agree

This certainly sounds like "Brown Shirts" in action. Of course the police arrest the wrong person. I work with the police fairly closely, most of them vote republican and listen to reich wing radio in their squads while working. disgusting.

[AllentownJake]

11. Another case of biting the hand that feeds you

Democrats generally tend to fund more police, Republicans tend to cut them while paying lip service to them as heroes. Same as Veterans.

[malaise]

9. Well I have news for you

Boehner and Graham don't see anything wrong with the tone of debate.
I'm watching them on MTP.

[Boxerfan]

12. What a bunch of assholes. Badgering,heckling bullies.

Can't wait for this to go viral. Effin idiots are PROUD of the footage. Sane Americans will see it as it really is. A vicous attack on a mans free speach.

Way to start the day viewing those assholes.

And then they arrest him?. I saw no action taken by the man to justify that. So he mouthed off or was just taken down for spite. Both are illegal & I hope they loose the freakin badges they DO NOT deserve to carry.Harsh judgemnet as I don't know ALL da facts freepheads?. Well I know he didn't accost anyone & was taken down without cause so go fudge your diapers asshats.

[marshall]

13. Did anybody bite his finger off?

I hear that's the attack of choice at these rallies.

[Catshrink]

19. actually, it was a pro-HCRer who bit the anti-HCR's finger off.

But the anti guy apparently punched the pro guy first thus provoking the attack. IIRC.

[western mass]

14. Please use the proper term: Klan Rally

and stop using this euphemism "anti-health care" rally.

[Archae]

15. It's not as cut and dried as you think.

The guy attacked, while he shouldn't have been attacked, may have been provoking the crowd.

[HughMoran]

16. "and attempting to defend himself from the crowd "

Do you know more than what was written in the entry? I read the entire thing and IN NO PLACE does it say he ATTACKED ANYONE?

Are you going to side with the brownshirts when they come to take you away?

[yoyossarian]

18. Yeah, dude... Joe the Plumber was probably going after him

with such ferocity cux he was caught clogging everyone's pipes with hair...
If he'd been violent himself, they wouldn't be standing there
SCREAMING in his face while he's saying stuff like "I have a right to
be here too!"...
If he'd been violent himself, the cops would've been scraping him
off the ground with a spatula...
Lack of actual brown shirts notwithstanding, t's pretty plain to see
what was actually happening there.

[dogknob]

21. He's not even a plumber

He just goes around stealing things out of people's toilets.

[TxRider]

27. Joe also could have been trying to protect him

[bertman]

25. Provoking the crowd?? As in being at "their" rally?? One man against twenty with no backup

doesn't sound like a case of "provoking the crowd".

Even if he had been yelling or carrying a sign that pissed them off, that's his right.

[merh]

20. Did you see this video from the 9/12 march?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kOPsla-MyLk

These people are demented. See the grown man chase down the young people who were selling flags at the rally? Apparently young people were selling "Don't Thread on Me" flags for Acorn.

[bertman]

26. Too late to recommend, but this needs to see the light of day. So, KICK.

Thank you for posting this, yoyossarian.

[yoyossarian]

28. You're welcome!

It was hard for me to watch, even harder to share...
So much bad news these days...
