Letter from Mike Stark

Richmond Times-Dispatch Oct 31, 2006

The following is a letter to NBC29 from Mike Stark, the man who was tackled for a comment he made at Senator Allen's campaign stop in Charlottesville on Tuesday.
My name is Mike Stark. I am a law student at the University of Virginia, a marine, and a citizen journalist. Earlier today at a public event, I was attempting to ask Senator Allen a question about his sealed divorce record and his arrest in the 1970s, both of which are in the public domain. His people assaulted me, put me in a headlock, and wrestled me to the ground. Video footage is available here, from an NBC affiliate.

I demand that Senator Allen fire the staffers who beat up a constituent attempting to use his constitutional right to petition his government. I also want to know why Senator Allen would want his staffers to assault someone asking questions about matters of public record in the heat of a political campaign. Why are his divorce records sealed? Why was he arrested in the 1970s? And why did his campaign batter me when I asked him about these questions.

1. Good. The THUGS need to understand they can't assault with impunity

There are consequences for criminal behavior and they need to be held accountable! If not, mob mentality will rule and NOBODY will be safe from the fucking Brown Shirt Psychos!

They have to be made to understand, in America, we are allowed to have a different opinion and ask tough questions. The THUGS need to know they are not gonna be allowed to run amok.
