Follow up to one story in a regrettably huge thread of 2004 campaign violence and thuggery (sadly, mostly at the hands of Democrats). No matter what side of the isle you are on, this type of behavior is typical only of the most ignorant and intellectually bankrupt. There is absolutely no room for this type behavior in American politics.
The sons of a first-term congresswoman and Milwaukee's former acting mayor were among five Democratic activists charged Monday with slashing the tires of vans rented by Republicans to drive voters and monitors to the polls on Election Day.Sowande Omokunde, son of Rep. Gwen Moore, D-Wis., and Michael Pratt, the son of former Milwaukee acting mayor Marvin Pratt, were charged with criminal damage to property, a felony that carries a maximum punishment of 3 1/2 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
The activists - all employees of the John Kerry campaign - are accused of flattening the tires on 25 vehicles rented by the state Republican Party to get out the vote and deliver poll watchers Nov. 2.
