THUGS ATTACK: Young Romney Supporter Beaten, Hospitalized | Media Trackers

The son of a Republican state senator in Wisconsin was brutally attacked and beaten on Friday morning by two thugs attempting to steal his Romney-Ryan yard sign in Whitewater, Wisconsin. In a statement released on Monday, Sen. Neal Kedzie described his son’s ordeal in horrific terms. Sean Kedzie, the senator’s son, spent Friday night in the hospital suffering from serious injuries to his head.
 
If this indeed happened, it's not cool.

Sean was wrestled to the ground by both persons, held down by a constricting chokehold, and struck repeatedly about the face and head. He nearly passed out from the chokehold and suffered contusions to his face and eyes. Fortunately, an alert neighbor heard the commotion, scared the individuals away, and called the police.
I think something else was going on and he blamed it on someone stealing his yard sign and attacking him. It doesn't make sense that he saw someone stealing his sign and got attacked, yet the neighbor somehow scared the individuals off. Sounds like a fishy story to me.

Yeah that is why I did not comment. My gut is that he went out and found them and went ballistic up in their face at which point it escalated from there.
 
That aint cool. Hope justice is brought to whoever did it.

Brian Sikma leans just a little right and like Breitbart, lacks in facts, IMHO. Face it, the credibility of right wing blogger pundits like Breitbart, James O'Keefe and this guys don't really have anything but distortionsa and lies. If this were true, FOX would have picked it up first.
 
Will be interesting to see more details as they emerge. A senator in a state like Wisconsin would be ill served by supporting a fraudulent retelling of events, so I hope for his sake that neither he nor his son are embellishing their versions of events.

Edit: the article referred to at the base of the original post references NBC's local affiliate coverage. Apparently, police are taking the issue seriously.

VIDEO REPORT: Son of State Senator Neal Kedzie Attacked; Sean Kedzie Speaks Out
 
Not cool....and even if the son provoked the attackers it is still not cool.
 
This sounds much like the story four years ago about the woman who was attacked and somebody marked up her face because she supported McCain.

And that 'story' broke in late October two weeks before the presidential election.
 
Local newspaper had the following regarding the incident

The Democratic Party of Wisconsin issued a release on the incident Tuesday.

"This kind of illegal behavior is completely unacceptable," said party chairman Mike Tate. "It is our sincere hope that the perpetrators of this assault are quickly identified, found and charged."

Whitewater police described the suspects as clean-shaven white males, both about 6 feet tall and weighing 185 pounds.



Obviously not some dirty hippie commie libs, they are never "clean-shaven", at least according to some folks we aren't

:roll:

Doesn't sound at all like the story you linked. This young man had serious injuries to his head- something very unlikely to have been done to himself, by himself. The young woman you refer to had a few facial marks which were self-inflicted, if I remember correctly.

I agree that it is different. What I meant is that it all came back to me and sounded alike being at the same time in October and all.
