Sure. These screaming, irrational, stinky commie jerks do all they can to provoke a violent response. But we're all much too intelligent and self-disciplined to fall into their trap. (At least, I hope we are - they're not worth getting arrested over).

Selectman accused of using vehicle to bump war protester

By Associated Press, 3/25/2003 07:54

DAMARISCOTTA, Maine (AP) A Damariscotta selectman accused of bumping anti-war protesters with his vehicle was charged with reckless conduct with a dangerous weapon, authorities said.

The incident happened Sunday on the bridge between Damariscotta and Newcastle, where a group of demonstrators gathered.

Selectman Walter Hilton bumped into two of the protesters after a verbal confrontation, authorities said. No one was hurt.

Hilton, who acknowledged bumping the pair, said it was an accident and that the protesters deliberately got in his way.

While I don't condone his actions, I wonder if a good lawyer can get him off claiming sleep deprivation due to his heightened anxiety over the Iraqi war with all its repercussions upon our domestic state of our nation. Well, the twinkie defense worked in the 70's!

ROTF!!! Never seen so many comments removed from a post before! Guess I'm not allowed to say what I think, but I bet a lot of us are thinking the same thing

[Maceman]

How many of these antiwar protesters have dope on them when they arrested? Ill bet its a lot...

There are a lot of pot smokers on our side of the debate too. So what's your point?

[Houmatt]

Good lord, I have never seen so many deleted comments in one thread!

I know what my thoughts are, and for obvious reasons I will not post them in a public forum.

But go ahead and delete it anyway. At least then, people can say, "Oooh! Houmatt's comments got deleted, too! I wonder what he said?"

[skinkinthegrass]

Ditto...jury by trial...and hopefully he charges dismissed or gets jury - found, not gulity....Liberals would scream bloody h*ll... :)
