Police: Driver Tried to Run Over Florida Rep. Harris

Yahoo News ^ | Oct 27,2004

The Republican lawmaker and several supporters were campaigning alongside a street corner in her hometown of Sarasota Tuesday evening. A silver Cadillac sped toward them, drove up onto the sidewalk where Harris stood, and then swerved away at the last minute, the Sarasota police report said.

No one was hurt. Witnesses noted the car's license tag number and police tracked the owner, Barry Seltzer, 46, of Sarasota, who was jailed early Wednesday on a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. He said he was annoyed because some of Harris' supporters were blocking traffic, the arrest report said.

"I was exercising my political expression," it quoted him as saying. "I did not run them down, I scared them a little."

He has nice full lips. He should make his 300lb, lifer,cell mate very happy. Have fun @sshole.

[Xenalyte]

How many times is this gonna get posted? This is the fourth thread I see when I search "Harris".

[ken5050]

Is he wearing rouge?...

[Kay Syrah]

ok, I'm glad she's ok and the creep is arrested and charged. He'll just get a wrist slap tho, and be ordered to attend shepard smith parking school.

[eagle11]

Darn! Too bad his name isn't Chad!

[PeterFinn]

I see. Assassinating Republicans for being Republican is "political expression". Doing the same thing for the same reason to a Damnocrat would be a hate crime.

A few people on FR think it's reactionary to say we should prepare for violence from the left. To Katherine Harris it's just good sense.

[jocko12]

Keep him in jail until after the election.He will cool off by then.

[AmericanMade1776]

There is a U.S. Magistrate Judge in Florida named Barry Seltzer , there is no way , this could be the same person? Or could it?

[crazyhorse691]

Dang crackhead thinks chasing people with a 2 ton vehicle is political expression. Drugs do destroy the brain. Idiot.

[AmishDude]

First they came for the campaign signs, but I didn't worry because I didn't have any campaign signs...

[AmishDude]

This is the fourth thread I see when I search "Harris".

Looking for someone?

[DAC22]

Looks like Detective Andy Sipowicz got to his face. Good job!

[Halls]

Political Expression? LMAO, yeah right! More like road rage! What an nut! Hope he enjoys prison!

[orangelobster]

Barry Seltzer is the new poster boy for the DNC. It's amazing that after he got caught he tried to justify the incident.

[nothingnew]

First time I saw it, X.

As Ann Coulter said about her assailants this dude will get to participate in Gay marriage first hand in the cell block.

[Kewlhand`tek]

goodness how many post of this incident are we going to have. this is atleast the 4th one i seen. there were 2 right beside the other also

[AmishDude]

Well, somebody did try to kill a member of Congress with a car ...

[orangelobster]

"there is no way , this could be the same person? Or could it?"

It is an odd coincidence. I'm sure the article would have mentioned it if this was the same guy. It wouldn't surprise me if it were though.

Witnesses noted the car's license tag number and police tracked the owner, Barry Seltzer, 46, of Sarasota, who was jailed early Wednesday on a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.Aggravated assault? What about attempted murder?

This is just the beginning. After next week's reelection of G.W. Bush, look for more and more of this sort of thing. John Edward's wife said the other day that there wouldn't be any riots after the election - "if we win". Just as Al Qaeda releases tapes that serve as coded instructions to their followers, perhaps Mrs. Edwards is doing the same.

Oh, they make all of these promises, but in 5-10 years they move on to someone else.

(Sorry for the double post. I forgot to separate my first sentence from the quote on my first attempt).

[formercalifornian]

Good one.

"I was exercising my political expression," it quoted him as saying. "I did not run them down, I scared them a little."

I hope he gets a judge who will exercise his judicial power scare this character a little into time behind bars.

I wouldn't be a bit surprised to see Dem frustration escalate into a blow-off. Things could get quite ugly if inflamatory rhetoric about perceived "injustices" stokes up the faithful.

[Still German Shepherd]

I agree with Rush that you can usually tell a liberal just by looking at him/her.

Thanks.

[formercalifornian]

Well, the guy WAS driving a Cadillac.

[PeterFinn]

"Looks like Detective Andy Sipowicz got to his face. Good job!"

Yeah, when you try to kill a Member of Congress who is also a woman the police can get just a tad irate. And I wouldn't have it any other way. (-:

[Captainpaintball]

Excellent statement. It needs to be repeated often.

"I was exercising my political expression," it quoted him as saying. "I did not run them down, I scared them a little."

This proves what I say in my tagline to be the gospel truth.

goodness how many post of this incident are we going to have.

Lots of people just got off work and probably haven't seen it. Do you think Dan Rather will lead his news show with this story ?

[AmericanMade1776]

Guess it is not the Judge...Barry S. Seltzer, the one who tried to drive down Kathleen, is Barry M. Seltzer, 46, a registered Democrat.

"I was exercising my political expression," it quoted him as saying.

Fair enough. And now the police and district attorney are exercising theirs.

[AmericanMade1776]

""I was exercising my political expression," it quoted him as saying. "I did not run them down, I scared them a little.""

Cadillac Man

Well I'm the king of the road Ain’t got no place to go, no place I call home Seen the world from behind this old wheel Driving away from those feelings I feel Desire cuts like a knife I’ll leave you bleeding but I’ll make you feel alright I love you but don’t hold me too tight Don’t put up a fight cause these wheels gotta roll

There ain’t nobody, ain’t nobody, ain’t no savior gonna save my soul Well I’ve been searching for a rainbow and a pot of gold That’s mine to hold that can’t be bought or can’t be sold

I’m a poet, I’m a preacher, got a lawyer's tongue I can sell you the moon but I ain’t nobody’s sun Before you get too close you best understand I’m a Cadillac Man

I’m a liar, I’m a lover, I’m a lawman’s gun I’m a sailor to the sea, I’m born of gypsy blood I’m the aces in a card player’s hand I’m a Cadillac Man

And I’ve been driving all night Chain-smoking cigarettes and chasing tail lights Through the smoke I seen the deal of my life And if you got ten rounds then you got a hell of a fight

So if you want to cry, well then you cry to me If you want to lie, I’ll let you lie to me If you want to laugh, well then I’ll play the clown You can laugh ‘till you cry ,p> Everybody, everybody Everybody’s got the truth to hide There ain’t nobody, ain’t nobody ever satisfied Or justified, or criticized and crucified

I’m a poet, I’m a preacher, got a lawyer’s tongue I can sell you the moon but I ain’t nobody’s sun Before you get too close you best understand I’m a Cadillac Man

Well I’m a liar, I’m a lover, I’m a lawman’s gun I’m a sailor to the sea, I’m born of gypsy blood I’m the aces in a card player’s hand I’m a Cadillac Man I’m just a Cadillac Man (Keep on riding) Cadillac Man I’m doing the best that I can I’m a Cadillac Man

Woke up this morning Looked in the mirror saw the miles in my eyes For one moment I thought my big deal had just passed me by My Cadillac died But I just cracked a smile and the mirror said ride

Cadillac Man I’m just a Cadillac Man Cadillac Man

Well I’m a poet I’m a preacher, got a lawyer’s tongue I can sell you the moon but I ain’t nobody’s sun Before you get too close you best understand I’m a Cadillac Man

I’m a liar, I’m a lover, I’m a lawman’s gun I’m a sailor to the sea, I’m born of gypsy blood I’m the aces in a card player’s hand I’m a Cadillac Man I’m a Cadillac Man A Cadillac Man Cadillac Man A Cadillac Man
