I just got off the phone with Teri Adams. The three teamsters who pled guilty last month for beating Don and Teri Adams were sentenced last week (10/25). Judge Sheldon Jelin sentenced Norma Bottomer to one year of probation, while Mark Hopkins and Charlie Davis were each sentenced to two years of probation.
They are the third, fourth and fifth Teamsters to be sentenced to probation as a result of the Adams beatings. Kevin McNulty and Marc Nardone pled guilty and received probation in summer, 1999.
The charges stemmed from an incident on October 2, 1998 where members of Teamsters Union Local 115 beat Don and Teri Adams before TV cameras, at the instigation of Teamster Vice President Johnny Morris. An effort to bring criminal charges against Mr. Morris is ongoing. Partially as a result of this incident, Mr. Morris was removed from his position of power in late 1999, and Teamster Local 115 was placed into trusteeship by the Union.
Here is a thread by Mare from the day of the sentencing, which was posted before results were available. I recommend that everyone read it for more background on the case.
Here is a thread from last month with some more background.
Full Disclosure: I am not an impartial party in this matter. More than two hours before the attack on the Adamses, which I witnessed, I was attacked while protesting and slightly injured by members of this same mob, which comprised about 500 members of the Teamsters and Carpenters Unions. I did not press charges and am not a party to any lawsuit being pressed by the Adamses.
With the Clintonistas getting more violent every day, I hope and pray that I remain the only Freeper who, while protesting for FreeRepublic, ever had his blood shed by the enemy.
Just goes to show....shoot to kill!
Any fines or just a felony record?
There are reasons why liberals are against concealed carry. One of them is that it would reduce the supply of head-busting union goons if more widely taken advantage of
Good. It is really amazing what Don and Teri Adams (and you, too) have gone thru to get this done. Being a good citizen who loves freedom is very hard work.
Democrat Philadelphia justice. As long as you're doing Clinton's work, you can beat someone and all you'll get as punishment is milk and cookies with a probation officer.
What does it take for a Philly Teamster to get more than probation!?!
These dopes have done this before (I know that at least one of them has several priors) and still all they get is probation! Maybe a good thing for a Bush Justice Department to look into.
What did they ever do with all those guns they found at Teamster HQ? Just imagine if they had found those guns cached at NRA HQ!
Well done, Don and Terry! Thanks from all of us for having the courage to follow through on this.
I Ditto That!..........WE LOVE YOU DON AND TERRY!!!!!!!!
You're a pussy! I have paid attention to the incesant whining of both you and Don Adams for to long...Please stop posting this pathetic dribble on this forum.
I think "dribble" is what Clinton does as a result of his social life.
Yea...I agree and to be honest I know little of this case, but for my own pathetic reasons, this for some reason bothers me. My first comment was to harsh...and I appologize to all!
Probation!?
Spinterpreter..."no punishment".
JEEZ!
5.56mm
Say hi to Terri for me. Take caer.
I wish only the best in health and safety for Don an Terri
oops, that should be "Take care."

I wonder if you'd be as bold in person. My hunch is that you'd get your Clymer kicked if you said this to him face-to-face.
you make me sick, go home to Bill.
Forum guidelines prohibit me from saying what I fully think of you for that statement. You admit you don't know much about this case and make an asinine statement? LET ME TELL YOU, MAGGOT, WHAT HAPPENED TO THESE PEOPLE AND WHAT THEY ACCOMPLISHED IN RESPONSE.
They got assaulted for exercising their First Amendment Rights. Don was marked for beating by the powerful head of the Teamster's Union, John Morris. The beating was caught on videotape. Guess who risked her own safety to protect her brother? Terri Adams. Guess who initially faced a malicious, politically-motivated prosecution? Don Adams. Guess who didn't back down, and was acquitted? Don Adams. Guess who is out of a job? John Morris, and one of the reasons cited by the National Union was the Don Adams incident. Guess who provided needed support to Don and Terri? Physicist. Guess what incident motivated JimRob to call for the March for Justice? You got it, bozo. So take your flippant attitude and stick it.
A bump to some of the finest folks I have ever had the honor of knowing and protesting with. Congrats, and may Lynn Abraham and John Morris be added to your list someday.
bump this again.
Teri, Don and Physicist are good people. They are well respected here on FR and are loved by many.
Well, theres three trouble makers that have to be careful for a while, unfortunately there are thousands of them to take their place.
Glad 'some' justice was applied but I don't think the signal was sent strong enough that interfering with freedom of speech rights is a serious offense.
bump this again
The Judge sent an intimidating message, all right. To any one who might disagree with the Temasters. "Don't". The Judge gave license in this verdict and the prior ones that thuggery in pursuit of shutting your opponent down is frowned upon superficially, but condoned in every other regard.
In Philadelphia the unions own most Judges. Judges are elected and the Unions pay to elect them.
"I find her vile and disgusting."
And you posted this just earlier?
Thanks for the info. Hope Don and Teri are well. Justice would have put these UNION thugs behind bars. Injustice brings this slaphappy sentence. But, at least, they are CONVICTED CRIMINALS! Union Thugs, Larry Flynt, Bill and Hillary Clinton, and Al Gore - all cut from the same cloth -BULLIES!
A HUGE BUMP for the Adamses and their bravery!!! Thankyou from Americans everywhere who value the Constitution. As to the light treatment of the union members, it's time for a change-one that holds ALL evil doers accountable.
I've reviewed all of Truman's posts that were available with the search feature, and almost everything he's posted over the last three days has been insults directed at Freepers. But don't worry about me, Jim; the only person on FR with a thicker skin is you, my friend.
Thank you for the update.
Truman was one of the serial McCainiacs a few months back. I think he's still upset that McCain lost and Freepers didn't fall over themselves to support McNuts.
You're a pussy! I have paid attention to the incesant [sic] whining of both you and Don Adams for to [sic] long...Please stop posting this pathetic dribble [sic] on this forum.
I've made three posts on the topic since you've registered on FR. Hope the bandwidth didn't overwhelm you.
FYI
Heads up!
Thank you, my friend. As the man said, we've got to hang together on this, otherwise, we will surely hang separately.
dribble????? drivel is the correct word. What is your beef?
The Don Adams Page, for more background and images.

I wouldn't be saying that too often. One more time would be too often.
Another good source of background is my series of notes taken at the pretrial hearing of Kevin McNulty and Marc Nardone, on February 10, 1999.
One last bump and I'm outta here. Bush up FIVE points in PA in latest POA - YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
Thanks Physicist. FYI folks....thought you'd be interested since we heard about Adam's case at J.W. event in August. Please bump to any other interested FReepers.. 72 hours until Freedom Day!! Regards...
Bush up FIVE points in PA in latest POA
I'm trying to ignore the polls, since I can't control them and they just make me nuts. All I can do is vote, which I will do, and exhort others to vote, which I will also do.
I'm trying to ignore the polls, since I can't control them and they just make me nuts.
Five points in POA, which is probably the best poll, makes me comfy instead of nuts. If Bush wins PA, it's all but over. Now, out here in Colorado, Gore is roadkill, so it hasn't been that suspenseful on how this state is gonna go.
Two questions:
1. Did the Union Thugs plead guilty to felonies? Or misdemeanors?
2. Are convicted felons allowed to vote in PA?
Wouldn't it be just sweet poetic justice if these Scumbags couldn't vote for their boy Algore?
Thank you for being brave in the face of these evil, vulgar union thugs and demo-punks. If my turn comes to be similarly challenged, I hope to remember and be inspired by the examples of courage shown by you and other FReeper protesters I have been following over the last year or so.

Do you ever equate all this polling and incessant interest in the polling results to children shaking their Christmas packages? They shake and shake and shake and shake......Yet nobody is going to know for sure until the package is opened (Nov. 7th). While I really want to know who wins, all this 'shaking' and guessing isn't helping. LOL!
Thanks for the information about Teri's and Don's case. I hope that Teri returns to us soon, this place isn't the same without her!
Too bad that the Teamsters didn't get real jail time. Let's hope that they get hit financially at least in the civil suit.
Thanks for all your efforts and for standing alongside Teri and Don.
Thanks so much for the update. My best to Teri and Don and yourself. Hugs
btt
Heads up ladies.
F.O.
Hope you enjoyed your career here dissing freepers. I'm sure it will soon end, deservedly so. The three you dissed are well known, solid patriots more deserving of support than your vile commentary.
Time for big money compensation. Good lawyers need money. They will go for millions.
Thanks for the post and update.
Give Don & Terri our prayers and very best wishes! :)
I posted the others for assistance.
CLEAN UP THE VOMIT ON ISLE #3
You posted the following twisted disruptive answers on the following threads. I think your choice of words and obvious venom point to a disruptive behavior and were it left to me you would be banned.

This is a very close race and could go both ways! Once again...whistling past the grave yard. I seem to remember the same attitude in '98 when the Republicans lost seats. Keep up the honesty!

Bye Bye LIEMAN I see you drew the ever vigilant Jim Rob's attention. See you back at cnn.
Thanks for the update. For those who want a legacy: the saga of the Adams's, with Physicist at the flank, is a mighty fine story to tell your grandkids. Says it all. Come back soon, Teri. And P, keep us updated whether we remember or not. gopherit
so Norma Bottomer,Mark Hopkins, Charlie Davis, Kevin McNulty and Marc Nardone are not eligable to vote for ALGORE on Tuesday.......
.......
What would the press say if they ran Don & Teri over while under the influence?
......it looks like Truman will be posting and voting under the influence
Thanks for being there for them Physicist .....and thatks to JR and his FReepers for supporting you good people in a just cause
It ain't over, but .......BRAVO to you all

1. Did the Union Thugs plead guilty to felonies? Or misdemeanors?
Charlie Davis and Mark Hopkins pled guilty to felonies. Norma Bottomer pled guilty to misdemeanors; the felony charges against her were dropped as part of the plea bargain agreement. All felony charges were dropped against the worst offenders, Kevin McNulty and Marc Nardone, for no reason at all. They pled guilty to misdemeanors.
I don't know whether any or all of them are eligible to vote. I can't imagine any of them summoning up enough citizenship even to register in the first place, however.
Thanks for the update.
For people not familiar with Philadelphia, probation for these thugs may look like a terrible loss for Don and Teri, but as John Fund pointed out in one of his WSJ editorials, it is, in fact, a stunning setback for the DNC mafia. Ed Rendell admitted openly that he was amazed that there were any indictments, let alone trials or convictions for these criminals.
Don and Teri have been through an incredible ordeal, but their deep conviction of their rights as American citizens and their commitment to fight for justice has breached what the Machine thought was an impregnable fortress of power. History will someday record that it was these present-day Adamses who set in motion the revolution for freedom in the City of Brotherly Love and the birthplace of the Constitution.
Thanks for your courage in standing up for justice and freedom. May God bless you!
I wasn't aware that you were also involved with this incident. I knew that your brother was, of course; but to learn that you were beaten has me worried.
You are a fine American. I am proud to have met you at the MfL last month.
Best Regards!
