Youtube posted as Assault of Ron Paul chair at Louisiana GOP Convention - u can hear yell

[sailingaway]

which I guess is when his hip was dislocated and they called the ambulance, putting this together with the facebook post - on the video you can also hear them elect a new chair AGAIN after the police remove the injured one. They then turn their backs to the purported chair still continuing and elect delegates. SPREAD THIS VIDEO

Wow! Drudge Report had this video as the MAIN headline about 10 minutes ago and they also had the link to the Daily Pelican (think he meant Dead Pelican -- see link on post below) showing the picture of one side of the room (the Paul people) completely turned in the opposite direction in protest. They were on Drudge for about 5 minutes then taken COMPLETELY OFF. The stories are not there at all. Wonder who called and said remove them!!

[eleganz]

That was intense. So no more state convention?

shreveport pd was there, convention security was their, hilton security was there, and i saw a couple of state troopers. lots of guns at the call of the central committee, who i guess was using them as personal mafia muscle men. but in the end it didn't work.

[kuckfeynes]

Just wow. Wish the video showed the actual attack.

A cop violently taking out a sober dignified man in a suit trying to exercise his most basic 1st Amendment right is imagery that every American needs to see.

that is not alex. that is the new chair henry herford. ive known him for awhile. guy had a hip replacement surgery not too long ago. they just effed him up good.
there is another video in another thread where people are saying it was the chairman, but it was alex helwig the chairman of the rules committee.
alex was removed because the state central committee appointed a chair of the rules committee, but the rules committee removed him the day before and put alex in his place. at the state convention today, when the chair of the rules committee was called on alex objected to the other guy, claiming rightfully so that we was the duly elected chair of the rules commmittee.
henry herford, our convention chair was assaulted for have a mic.

This is YET ANOTHER REASON to use a HIDDEN camera. If they don't even know you have a camera, let alone are recording, you are far more likely to hang onto the evidence.

If the cop was asking for the phone, how did the person get the video on You Tube? It sounded like he was telling trying not to tell the cop he wasn't recording...

This just makes my blood boil.

edit: corrected what it sounded like.

As a grown up adult, I couldn't care less. I have my own standards and none of them depend on being endorsed by Ron Paul, you, or anyone else.

If the campaign can watch a video of that poor man being dragged away by police, begging for them to stop, and being brought to the ground injured and in agony, and not make a comment about it, then there's something wrong with them.

Obama is a good choice for you, if you desire a President who will shoot off his mouth before gathering his thoughts, and the facts. It is easy to blow up.. it is hard to take it back. I do expect there will be a statement, but I doubt if it will be immediate. I also expect that Ron Paul will be upset that anyone was hurt because of his campaign. Some of you see this as a way to push our cause.. Ron Paul will not.

Of course this is all simply my opinion. Time will tell.

I am really upset that the police did not listen to the man. He clearly told them... I am handicapped.

[No1butPaul]

I wouldn't be so sure. When one of ours got struck in the back in OK, the campaign didn't seem too upset about that; in fact, "the campaign" admonished us against booing Prince Romney instead, or our lack of decorum or something. The point is, there was never any statement about our supporter getting assaulted. You are 100% right, however, that time will tell. I certainly HOPE they make some kind of statement. I haven't heard from anyone in the campaign about anything lately though.

EDIT: I forgot, there was a fundraising email recently for somebody that endored RP and was getting heat from the GOP.

I haven't heard from anyone in the campaign about anything lately though.

Predicting those conditions of controversy in the states conventions were the reason in my opinion that Ron Paul and his campaign went into silence, so as to not be blamed for fanning the flames of any situation such as this one in LA. But even though they were cautious to enter into the 'silence chamber' it is not rightful or dignified to do so since it was their campaign to start with, Dr. Paul is the one who chose to run and the campaign are the ones who have brought everyone up this far.

They need to own to this situation and come out with their best pr face and defend their people and make accusations against disgusting disruptive processes, etc. The campaign should have had someone there from their staff. They can't hide - this is their baby. The campaign needs to act to defend their territory and give directions and support to their people.

If they don't it will be a major social studies issue. But I am not going to buy any of their books explaining anything. And no one should buy any of their books if they don't come out now a take this bull by the horns.

I believe that the association that the campaign has with its followers is close to a fiduciary one. Is not fiduciary but close. They ask us to support their goals. They need to be responsible for the process.

[No1butPaul]

A question for this forum:

I hardly view this as nothing more than a scuffle or disagreement during the campaign. This is a convention to elect delegates to the GOP National Convention where one of our supporters warned the police he was handicapped, and they continued to strong-arm him for absolutely no apparent reason. They refused to take a police report claiming he was under arrest for something. One of the officers can be seen smiling @ 5:05 of the new video and, at the end, they try to unlawfully obtain a drivers license and confiscate the telephone which recorded the "disagreement." It is common sense the campaign would make some kind of statement - especially considering this marks a series of events where we have been cheated and assaulted. Our last moneybomb was supposed to go toward the funding of campaign personel to attend these conventions. IMO, it is completely justifiable people would be angry about this.

Or speaking is an art form and writing to post is another art form and does not need to follow any predicated set of grammatical rules and like you said 'native speaker of English' wouldn't be a requirement, would it?

[jay_dub]

Those guys that were assaulted by the cops were obviously just a couple of those nutty Ron Paul supporters that had just climbed out of their Mom's basement with a joint in their mouth and went to the convention to start trouble. /sarcasm

Seriously, anyone that sees this ought to be ashamed of the GOP Old Guard. This was the most brutal, but certainly not atypical behavior of those losing their grip on power. We've seen other examples already in other states. It's just shameful.

[MelissaWV]

Utterly off-topic, but if your entire point is to communicate via the written word, then it behooves you to make yourself understood as universally as possible. I might have something very exciting and important to tell you, but if I say "Ron Paul gist pebble toss gator tremble saucy wench!" instead of "Ron Paul appears to have come out of the Lousiana Convention with a net positive!" you might not understand my point. Likewise, I have some issues understanding some of the posts on the forums, and probably always will.

It has been a thorn in my side that, for well over a decade, people have used the internet as an excuse to forget the finer points of communicating to their audience. This doesn't mean every grammar rule and guideline becomes law, but if you are routinely spelling things incorrectly, confusing homonyms with one another, and structuring your sentences in ways that ruin their intended meanings... you are going to be misunderstood.

Part of the fun is just that, learning and learning from others. That's why I participate, to learn. The English language is changing as fast as the Republican party with Ron Paul. Structuring, homonyms, people write with their best intentions but not to make a grade. Understanding is as much fun and delivering. I said it, pues.

You can't give direct evidence from watching a video. Honestly, if we have a hundred people call, none of whom have their story straight, we are not going to get the right kind of attention, imho.

Anyone care to narrate that video? I don't really follow what happened.

I'm not able, but this is somebody's take on youtube, for what it's worth:

"Just from watching it looks like the chairman of this committee tried to adjourn the meeting. Someone made a motion to remove (and replace) said chairman, which clearly passed by listening to the "Ayes." The original chairman kept trying to run the meeting. Then the new chairman had a vote on a 5-minute recess, which passed at the end of the video."

Predicting those conditions of controversy in the states conventions were the reason in my opinion that Ron Paul and his campaign went into silence, so as to not be blamed for fanning the flames of any situation such as this one in LA. But even though they were cautious to enter into the 'silence chamber' it is not rightful or dignified to do so since it was their campaign to start with, Dr. Paul is the one who chose to run and the campaign are the ones who have brought everyone up this far.

They need to own to this situation and come out with their best pr face and defend their people and make accusations against disgusting disruptive processes, etc. The campaign should have had someone there from their staff. They can't hide - this is their baby. The campaign needs to act to defend their territory and give directions and support to their people.

If they don't it will be a major social studies issue. But I am not going to buy any of their books explaining anything. And no one should buy any of their books if they don't come out now a take this bull by the horns.

They released the krakkon. Then they decided to back off. Leaves a sour taste in my mouth to be honest.

"...then they fight you" part really started?

Does he got insurance? What are going to be his medical costs?
Yep! Literally.

This whole incident was SO TERRIBLE! These idiotic police pawns everywhere are always so quick and heavy handed.

Look at how they later stand there like dazed and confused idiots later, when they realize they did.

Can anyone's camera just be confiscated like that because it contains evidence? Especially evidence of police abuse?
We need to know the laws on this and our rights on this.
They would have to beat me to get my vids of them beating others.

Jesus. If the general public can turn a blind eye to THAT... Time to reconsider the exit strategy...

NO, Its TIME to consider where we are going to find enough trees and rope to hang all the treasonous bastards!!!

As a grown up adult, I couldn't care less. I have my own standards and none of them depend on being endorsed by Ron Paul, you, or anyone else.

If the campaign can watch a video of that poor man being dragged away by police, begging for them to stop, and being brought to the ground injured and in agony, and not make a comment about it, then there's something wrong with them.


well if benton or wead watched it i wouldn't hold my breath for either to do anything about it. (other than censor it from reaching ron paul's eyes)

So when do we find out if charges are being pressed, and against who, by who and for what?
