For those of you who are new here. John Morris ordered the beating of Freeper Don Adams when Don was protesting a Clinton visit to Philly. Good riddance, you miserable scumbag.

When is the "Dance On His Grave Party" being held?

A union thug is dead. Gee, I wonder how the commie mass media will spin this?

[Willie Green]

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, RIP.

There's no dignity in speaking ill of the dead.

May the Lord have mercy on his wretched soul.

wretched soul

..and that's not an example of speaking ill of the dead? BTW, I know you're in the thread because there is now one less union job right? ;-)

LOL!!!

I do my best to maintain objective neutrality on labor organization issues.
(It takes an awfully thick hide to voluntarily absorb the crossfire!)

"When is the 'Dance On His Grave Party' being held?"

Not, "when;" where.

Follow the industrial-sized post hole auger mounted on the back of an International Harvestor.
That'll lead to the real gravesite location.

...the, "when" will follow.

"It broke his heart," said his daughter, Nancy Morris, who had worked alongside her father in the Teamsters local.

==========================================

While Nancy was visiting him in the hospital, she played a little joke on dear old dad. She casually put her hat on his head and a group of five thugs came rushing in to beat the crap out of him. Everyone at the hospital got a good laugh out of that one. What a close knit family and a loving daughter.

"... but the devil got him first!"

Good riddance to the gangster.

Thanks for the summary. I know the "Teamsters for Clinton" saga took many bizarre legal twists and turns since the beating. Hopefully, this will offer closure for Don Adams.

[Gigantor]

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Philly Bump. Can't remember Don Adam's sister's FReep handle.

At the end of January, I spent almost 8 hours being deposed under oath by lawyers from the Teamsters Union pursuant to the Adams beating case. (They still haven't returned my materials, I might add.) While I was there I overheard that Johnny Morris would not be deposed for the case because he was on a respirator in a hospital bed he was not expected to leave.

I will say no more than that he was a tough old Teamster.

Thanks for the bump!

My Judicial Watch affadavit for the case.

If anyone is interested in the behavior of Johnny Morris on October 2, 1998, they can refer to my series of notes taken at the pretrial hearing of Kevin McNulty and Marc Nardone, on February 10, 1999.

Part 2

Hopefully, this will offer closure for Don Adams.

I should expect not. It is a contention of the lawsuit he is pursuing that Mr. Morris was personally responsible, in large measure, for the violence of Oct. 2, 1998. I know that it was important to the Adamses that Mr. Morris be held legally, if not criminally, responsible for his actions. Sadly, he is now beyond the temporal reach of justice. As it turned out, he never even had to defend his actions under oath.

[Physicist]

Bump.

Just caught this post. Wonder if Rendell went to the funeral?
