If you read our earlier post about the attack on a Tea Party activist in Atlanta, you no doubt felt badly for the guy who was rammed into the metal fence. He is now speaking up about the incident. If you haven’t watched the video of the attack — do that first…here.
Bill Greene seems like a generally affable guy. He runs a group called RightMarch.com. His exclusive interview with SecularStupidest.com is revealing on a number of fronts — including the account of the police officer‘s reaction to Greene’s entreaties. Greene says the officer not only declined to arrest the attacker, he allowed him to leave the scene while preventing the conservative activists from pursuing him.
Here are is a look at the suspect in question:

Posted on February 27, 2011 at 3:46pmThe video shows that the THUG and the officer exchanged a few words. The THUG needs to be identified and prosecuted and the officer needs to be identified and an investigation into his actions, the ‘conversation’, and why when several people were pointing he did nothing. The officer‘s inaction is as offensive as the THUG’s attack!

Posted on February 27, 2011 at 3:45pmI worked for a union years ago and I discovered that they are the biggest bunch worthless people that I ever saw. I see the same morons on the street yelling and screaming about their rights and solitary. The union I worked for wound up going on strike because the companies we had a contract with asked for the first five people hired to be of their choice. The Companies had the ability to use 2 company men and 2 union men. After that, the union could use the seniority to send labor to the company. While they were on strike another union came in and signed a contract with the companies. (So much for solidarity) The end result was that 1,000s of people were out of work just because the union wanted to protect the higher ups. Unions today are not what they were meant to be originally.

was propositioned with ruff s e x with him, and when the male reporter declined the offer,
the UNION THUG then called him a disparaging name used to define g a y people in the 1960s.

Posted on February 27, 2011 at 5:02pmUnion or not, it’s STILL barbarians! Basically we are seeing a general breakdown in society that is being brought on by an economy that can no longer support the barbarians in the style that they have become accustom to. The barbarians will insist on being supported until there is nothing left, and then pick over the spoils for the choicest pieces. Unless action is taken, the barbarians will take it all and leave nothing for the majority of people who paid for their lavish retirements. Here in Colorado, the state retirement plan (called PERA) somewhere around $60 BILLION underfunded and the teachers/legislators/state employees expect the tax payers to foot the bill for their inept, greedy, mismanagement over the years (the State Treasurer was basically told by the PERA Board that the taxpayer be damned, he was there to make sure the PERA recipients got their golden goose after retiring as early as age 50!). I’ll move out of the state before being held hostage to a “golded parachute” retirement system that I could never access or ever wanted!

Posted on February 28, 2011 at 7:39amJust for clarification. That guy is capital police. They have little authority outside of the capital grounds and can’t do much anyway. APD, GSP, and Fulton would have authority on the street. CPD are there for numbers only. Before we pass judgement on police; just remember the images are created for a purpose. Most police lean conservative. A good number of the police and hosedraggers shown have been supervisors. They tend to be more political and more engrained in the union leadership.

Not withstanding, the police officer could have detained hime for the proper authourities and his jurisdictional limitations do not hinder him from upholding the law when a crime has been committed right in front of hime with that many witnesses.

My wife followed the driver blinking lights to get the driver to pull over for 10 miles to where the traffic lightened up and the driver sped away. in the 10 miles my wife was able to get the license plate, company name and truck number and a description of the driver. She then called the willimantic police department and was instructed to come to police department and fill out a report. 3 hours later my wife went to fill out a report and was told that they would not take report without the other driver present to give their side of report.
