What Happens When a Ponytailed Defense Attorney Gets Mugged?
American Thinker ^ | October 20, 2012 | Tina Trent

Posted on 10/20/2012 6:57:18 PM PDT by neverdem

What happens when ponytailed defense attorney Ron Kuby gets mugged? He screams bloody murder, demands a police crackdown on the alleged assailant, and collaborates with reporters at the New York Daily News to raise the specter of hate crime charges. Here's the outline of the story, from the New York Post:

Michael Cook is charged with misdemeanor assault for allegedly clocking Kuby on West 23rd Street in mid-September. Kuby told cops he'd been walking near Cook and Cook's girlfriend, and the punch in the nose was his reward for objecting to the girlfriend's overheard anti-gay diatribe.

"I spend my life preventing most people from going to jail, but he's working very hard to go there," Kuby said of his accused assailant. "Sooner or later the warrant squad will wake him up very early in the morning and without a cup of coffee."

The lawyer famous for using every trick in the book to denigrate police and spring violent offenders back onto the street expects a different response from the system when he's the alleged victim of a minor crime -- in this case, a fistfight Kuby acknowledges instigating.

Never mind legal niceties, such as using the word "alleged" before guilt has been determined:

What is the old saying: "A conservative is a liberal who has been mugged".

I doubt that will be the case here though.

So now that he’s been mugged will he have the sense to become a conservative?

And how many of those were guilty?

Kuby is lowlife. I'd like to hit him myself.

I cannot IMAGINE telling a black woman walking on 23rd Street with her boyfriend to shut up and stop insulting gays. Or anything else, for that matter.

That’s not a mugging, and least not how I would use the word.

Mugging is when someone comes up to you, hits you without provocation, and steals your stuff.

Looks to me like Kuby got exactly what he deserved.

Proverbs 26:17 Like one who takes a dog by the ears is he who passes by and meddles with strife not belonging to him.

So Attorney Kuby gets punched because he objected to some stranger's remarks.

Here's some advice for Attorney Kuby: mind your own business, and quit worrying about what other people happen to be saying.

Oh, sorry, but that's impossible. Liberals aren't able to mind their own business. They must constantly be preaching to everyone else, at all times.

So the girlfriend was expressing her First Amendment right and this guy goes off on her, prompting her boyfriend to punch this D-bag in the face?

What’s the crime again?

Oh yea, the crime is this loser with the bad haircut.

The guy should have punched him, then cut off his ponytail.

That’s not a mugging, that’s a beat down! Kuby needs to STFU and mind his own business. Michael Cook should pay a visit to Chrissy Matthews and the other SRM Hitler youth! Maybe a punch in their face would let them know that the people of this country are tired of their disgusting bias!!

The girlfriend has the right to express her views, Kuby has the right to express his views but the boyfriend doesn’t have the right to punch him in the face.

Kuby, an old Communist Party sympathizer in their legal operations (National Lawyers Guild, National Emergency Civil Liberties Committee and probably the NLG-split-off, Center for Constitutional Rights), was a William Kunstler protege if not outright acolyte.

His former law partner, David Kairys, is even more leftist than Kuby, if that can be. Another Kunstler protege’.

Both are practicionners of the Kunstler School of Perverting the Legal Profession in aid of our enemies. Fortunately, as Rush Limbaugh would say, I have in my non-nicotine stained fingers some quotes of Kunstler which gave his views on the legal system and criminals. Assuming that they were taught to his followers.

* McCall Magazine, January 1971: “I’m often asked the question, should we condemn people who cause violence, and I say no, we should not condemn them. In fact, we should do everything possible to protect them if their objectives are the same as ours. When I say ours, I mean whoever is the person involved. I’m not one for disowning the Weathermen or any other group whose goal is generally the same as mine.”

* Newsday newspaper, date unknown but quoted in Human Events weekly, July 25, 1970.

“Once I thought that every man was entitled to counsel. Even the neo-Nazis. Once I thought that my job was to defend people — all people. But I don’t have time for that any more. No more. Now, I only defend people that I love.” AND

” No, I wouldn’t defend them (i.e. the Minutemen) at all. I only defend those whose goals I share. I’m not a lawyer for hire. I only defend those I love.”

However, he did defend the New England Mafia for a very nice few, and though his clients (Patriarca family, et. al) were convicted, Kunstler actually lived to collect his fee.
* [See: Sunday Journal Magazine, Dec. 13, 1981, “William Kunstler has a new cause: The Mob”).

Well Mr. Kuby, you’ve got to drop charges against the guy who hit you. After all, he used violence, and like your mentor Kunstler taught you, you only defend those who you love.”

Just call the punch a “love tap”.

I doubt that will be the case here though.

The problem is that Kuby isn't a "liberal." He's a hard-core communist agitator, so given where he started, this mugging might make him "liberal." If he were to be mugged 3 or 4 more times, he might finally become a conservative.

Not totally sure what transpired in the fracas, but the linked article suggests that Kuby knew he was getting downright belligerent towards the woman who was expressing less than fond sentiments about rump rangers.

What, they didn’t recognize the dignity of His Pony Tail?

But it was wrong to have punched him out, even if he challenged them to a fist fight. It would have sufficed to cut off his pony tail. He clearly did not deserve to bear that pony tail any more, because he failed to perceive the correct pecking order among grievance mongers.

I have long maintained that the reason LIEberals are the way they are is that many of them have never had to accept responsibility for their offensive words or hostile actions.

IOW, they have lived a charmed life, saying and doing whatever pleases them without regard to the consequences.

There are, LIEberals, words and actions that will cause certain of us non-LIEberals to take you to task, i.e., punch you in the mouth, when you say or do something offensive.

Be VERY AWARE that there are fighting words, and there are fighting actions.

Cross either of those boundaries at your own risk!

I used to work in the same building as the WABC studios in Manhattan, and I'd occasionally share an elevator ride with Kuby. Two things really stood out about him:

1. He's a big guy (about 6'3" tall), which makes me wonder why anyone would pick a fight with him.

2. He may be a Communist agitator, but everyone I ever met who worked for WABC while he was there swears he was the nicest guy you'd ever meet. Go figure. He must have been intoxicated if he was behaving belligerently in that situation. LOL.

I’d like to flay Kuby’s face & ponytail and plank it next to an all night campfire then the next morning load it up on the internet. Jivaro Indians would be emailing me asking for the recipe.

War is coming, folks, so have your skinning knives ready. Finnish blades are the best IMO.

Read the piece. He wasn’t “mugged.” The fellow who punched him has a pretty good case for having defended the young woman from his attack which was brought on by Mr(?)Kuby’s reprehensible attempt to stifle free speech.
