WI - ASSAULT/BATTERY by TBagger in Madison !!!

[Lefta Dissenter]

I'm on a conference call right now, but wanted to get this shared asap

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEic7T5a0BY

Today a tBagger took a sign - ironically, the one that says, "INTEGRITY," - and used that to hit Jeremy Ryan, who is one of our hardest-working protesters. Jeremy is disabled and uses a Segway for mobility. Police were called, and charges will be filed.

PLEASE watch the video and share with everyone you know.

OK, back to the conference call...

1. OH NO!

I will get to that right after this LENGTHY conference call

I should have eaten dinner before 7:00...

[Lefta Dissenter]

2. are you on the legal call or the regular?

I've been grazing through our call. Trying not to get TOO distracted by FB, etc....

[eowyn_of_rohan]

3. reg... am getting glassy eyed

some of the questions :eyes:

Also have been sipping wine since 7 - lol

[Lefta Dissenter]

4. HA

try listening to a bunch of attorneys! :eyes:

[Bozita]

6. What happened after the video?

[Lefta Dissenter]

8. tBagger was arrested

I don't know details after that yet.

[Bozita]

9. That was what I was wondering. Thank you.

I thank your friends too.

You guys are terrific.

[eowyn_of_rohan]

7. I can just HEAR it...

some of the ones here are sooooo dopey

[warrior1]

5. I bet the teabagger

pooped his pants with the police got there.

[zazen]

10. kill the disabled now or kill them later appears to be their mantra

[glinda]

11. Dude looked nasty. Paid to cause trouble. Not hurting financially.

[deacon]

23. Certainly looks that way. n/t

[buddysmellgood]

12. Do we know the name of the assailant?

I love the walk of shame.

[Lefta Dissenter]

13. no name yet

Jeremy will be getting a copy of the police report tomorrow. "Friend" Segway Jeremy Ryan on FB or go to www.DefendingWisconsin.org and click on "Videos" to see updates. Jeremy posts videos pretty much every day.

[The Doctor.]

14. The teabaggers represent everything that is 'uncivilized' in society.

I sure hope the hell this asshole gets fined at the very least. If not, we no longer live in a civilized society.

[TheBigotBasher]

17. Exactly.

They are a right wing terror movement.

[proud2BlibKansan]

15. OMG that's horrible. But the ending is awesome.

Definitely sharing.

[socialist_n_TN]

16. I'm glad y'all had cameras.............

We had a MoveOn council meeting tonight and I brought up the need for as many video cameras as possible at ANY and ALL of our actions. If something happens (like this) I want it videoed.

[senseandsensibility]

18. Is Jeremy okay?

What is wrong with these people?

[Lefta Dissenter]

20. yeah, he's ok

Pissed off, though.

and glad that the video cameras were running.

edited to add, Thanks for asking! :hi:

[senseandsensibility]

35. Glad to hear it!

Tell Jeremy we're all pulling for him on DU.:hi:

[deacon]

22. This infuriates me. Walker was contemplating baiting pro union protesters into

these types of actions.

[SpiralHawk]

29. What's wrong? RepubliBagger Family Cesspool Values

RepublicBaggers (R) live in a state of constant fear & hate for America and democracy...

RepubliBaggers take their marching orders from fatcat corporatists intent on imposing a Corporate Facist Homeland on the US of A, and broadcast 24/7 through their corporate media propaganda outlets.

[madrchsod]

19. what a punk...now he has a police record.

[deacon]

21. Walker was trying to instigate this happening with the pro union protesters, SO

they would lose 'credibility.'

Now THEY (anti untion protesters)lose credibility. What do you say to this Walker???

[warrior1]

24. kr

did they find out this teabagger's name?

[femrap]

25. I hope something comes of this....

violence can not be tolerated.

[upi402]

26. Jeremy Ryan is a patriot!

:patriot:

[Erose999]

27. He kept swinging those signs and basically admitted to it on the video. He will have a hard time

defending his actions in court for sure. Y'all be sure to file charges and make sure that these violent assholes are sent a message that this type of behavior is not acceptable in a civil society.

[Arugula Latte]

28. Hopefully this asshole's name will be revealed

and he'll regret his thuggery.

[kas125]

33. His name is Clayton Ruby from Madison, WI. His name is

at the end of this article - http://www.politiscoop.com/component/content/article/35-last-24h-news/240-turn-out-the-lights-the-tea-party-is-over.html

[louslobbs]

37. Clayton Ruby from Madison Wisconsin, got it.

Lou

[provis99]

41. Clayton Ruby. Typical redneck sounding name.

Right up there with Cletus McWillie or Billy Joe Magruder.

[Lefta Dissenter]

30. UPDATE!!!

If you're interested in following what is going on in Madison, I would suggest you "friend" Segway Jeremy Ryan on Facebook. He has posted the name of the attacker. What a surprise... if the information is correct, the tBagger is the grandson of a former Republican State Senator! I want to confirm the details before I post anything here, but as I said, if you are a FB friend of Jeremy's, you'll get the information directly from him.

[louslobbs]

39. If that turns out to be true, and I have no doubt it is, what a surprise..........not!

Lou

[louslobbs]

40. This is what the end of the Tea Party looks like folks, Ruby is the grandson of Gordon Bradley(R)

The attacker in the video has been identified as one Clayton Ruby of Madison, WI. The name may not ring a bell but his ancestry may. He is the grandson of a former state Rep. Gordon Bradley (Republican).

34. K&R..

[louslobbs]

36. Thanks for the video, I'll start spreading it around, what a lunatic.

[sarcasmo]

38. Kick for Jeremy.

42. Clay Ruby thinks he's a musician and has a band. There

are videos. Disturbing, to say the least. Here is one of them, but I didn't watch the whole thing, I just couldn't do it. http://vimeo.com/21677917

[Lefta Dissenter]

43. yeah,

I wouldn't watch them after seeing some of the comments on fb. I don't need more disturbing images to deal with. Just seeing the tBaggers around is disturbing enough!

[kas125]

44. No, you don't need to see it. It's totally creepy and it's

enough to give any sane person nightmares. It's hard to imagine that that band of his has any fans or makes any money, but perhaps there are more disturbed and disgusting people in the world than I thought there were. Ugh!
