Probably won't get that. From what I have seen it is rare they have any consequences for their actions. Pretty much all a victim can do is sue and only if they have money. Clearly there is even a conflict of interest there. This is why the govt "monopoly" is a really bad idea.

True!

Fascists love to make use of the thugs to muscle and intimidate, just be the first to demand that they attack and walla....What I loved the most was after they roughed up a citizen for exerscizing his rights....might the cops be contrite? no! of course not, the very end of the vid shows the cop asking for a drivers license and the cell phone because the incident was filmed.... No learning curve on that one apparently.

How is security supposed to make a judgement when they are oblivious to what the issue is? much less Robert's Rules? Huey had nothing on these goons. Ron Paul remains then only truly elected representative in this race. He has been ignored, thugs thrown at him, his sanity questioned. I don't agree with many of his positions but I hope he is a succesful as he was in this convention at making the status quo uneasy as they choose to sell our country down the tiolet.

This has always been one of the biggest problems of our democracy. The party level politics when deciding upon candidates make the politburo of the central committee in the USSR look like a thriving democracy. It's not only republicans but democrats also who face this problem.

The fact that he used the police to enforce his will shows him to be a fascists and no better than Goring and Hitler back in the 30's.

Wow! I've never seen flying thugs being thrown! Please send a video ASAP! Is this something like dwarf tossing?
