Madison Judge Racial-Abuse Case to go to Grand Jury
Jackson Free Press ^ | 5/28/14 | Haley Ferretti

Posted on 05/28/2014 11:01:23 AM PDT by Oliviaforever

Madison County Justice Court Judge Bill Weisenberger is being accused of knocking down, slapping and kicking a mentally disabled young black man and yelling a racial slur: "Run, n*gger, run."

The incident occurred May 8 at the Canton Flea Market, where Weisenberger was working as a security guard and the 20-year-old victim, Eric Rivers, was allegedly asking to help vendors load and unload their vehicles for tips.

This is looking more and more like a witch hunt as now they are trying to indict Weisenberger for a crime that is not quite specified.

Remove the "disabled" component and blacks do this to whites on a regular basis. Why no federal court for participants in the "knockout game?"

...accused of knocking down, slapping and kicking...

Assault and battery. ...a mentally disabled...

Not sure if that state has laws providing for additional protection for the mentally disabled (i.e. "elder abuse").

...young black man...

Irrelevant. ...and yelling a racial slur: "Run, n*gger, run."

Ugly but also irrelevant.

WAIT WAIT WHAT AM I SAYING

Madison unleashed! This sounds awful, if true. Do any of the Madison FReepers know anything about this?

FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.

No problem - “Madison” in the title caught my eye a few times, too. But I can’t imagine a judge saying something like that in this liberal bastion, without being immediately subjected to a recall election. This judge really is a cad, if he said that.

“Run, N*gger, Run” is an African-American folk song, first documented in 1851, which is known from numerous versions. Growing out of the rise of slave patrols in the slave-owning southern United States, the song is about and follows an unnamed black man who attempts to run from a slave patrol and avoid capture. This folk song was released as a commercial recording several times, beginning in the 1920s, and it was included in the 2013 film 12 Years a Slave.

One partial example:

Run, n*gger, run; de patter-roller catch you
Run, n*gger, run, it’s almost day
Run, n*gger, run, de patter-roller catch you
Run, n*gger, run, and try to get away

Dis n*gger run, he run his best
Stuck his head in a hornet’s nest
Jumped de fence and run fru the paster
White man run, but n*gger run faster.

And of course Madison is in DANE County. But, the name Jackson caught my eye too — just west of here, on the way to Madison. Duh!

That’ll teach me to talk on the phone and post at the same time!

The Jackson free press is a extreme liberal rag.

“The Jackson free press is a extreme liberal rag.”

Thanks, for letting me know that, but I should have known simply by reading this article as it has a liberal slant as it goes out of its way to paint the judge in a poor light.

I don't think the idiot judge needs any help.
