INJURED RON PAUL SUPPORTER FROM 2012 LA GOP CONVENTION FILES SUIT

*Exclusive*
June 05, 2013-- 11:01 AM CDT
A Ron Paul supporter who was injured at the Louisiana Republican Convention in Shreveport last year has filed a lawsuit, THE DEAD PELICAN has learned. In June 2012, Henry Herford was injured in a scuffle with Shreveport police at the Louisiana Republican convention. The incident was captured on a video that later went viral. The video can be viewed here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgTpLOUxC6Q). The changes filed against Herford, were eventually dropped, Herford's lawyer Charles Kincade tells THE DEAD PELICAN. And now, Herford has filed suit against the officers involved, GOP Chairman Roger Villere, the Louisiana GOP, and the company who owns the facility where the incident took place.
Kincaide noted that Ron Paul supporters were in the "vast majority" at the convention and that the will of the convention was ignored. He claims that he has no doubt that Herford was wronged, and that he believes that there is a solid case.
UPDATE: A copy of the complaint can be viewed here (http://www.thedeadpelican.com/2013/complaint.pdf). Developing...

Mod note -- video reminder of some of the convention shenanigans, the first 2:23 or so is setting the procedural stage, showing chair ignoring valid motions enough to be challenged procedurally. Real action starts about then:

It is time.
i will gladly testify on behalf of Mr. Herford.
I can speak to the events of that convention, and of the man's good and morale character, as i've known him for some years as a member of my congressional district.

[evilfunnystuff]

Does anyone know how he's doing.

I never caught any updates, hope he made a full recovery.

[tod evans]

Tentatively watching..:cool:

[LibertyEagle]

[ItsTime]

pass it on.
may the truth be revealed!

[torchbearer]

I just sent out an email blast. i want the info to get out.
i want it as facts, on record, in a court of law.
Let the light shine on the truth.

[nobody's_hero]

Just now? That incident happened a year ago. I guess it doesn't really matter the timeframe.

[jbauer]

hope he wins the fing lottery on this

Well we are out of the woods. We can't have all our new republican friends meeting our old friends that they beat up.... Then people would know that he got that for winning a vote! LOL

Imagine this next time around.

[sailingaway]

We have tons of data, they should go for election stuff as well - leverage to get the rules changed back to pro grass roots, or at least out the situation... all sorts of possibilities. I'd personally like an unedited speech by Ron at RNC, .... Heck, I'd like more but I won't even go there....

Wow. I am swamped on a project right now but I will definitely be looking at the complaint and thinking about if we have specific data / ideas here to help.

Fantastic news!!

[sailingaway]

PS, It would be fantastic if the guy whose fingers were broken files suit. It is VERY difficult to argue with 'broken bones' and xrays...

I wasn't able to give rep to Cajuncocoa's post twice (a flaw, imho), and I was in a very plus rep mood when I saw he was moving forward on this.

[sailingaway]

is there any update on this?

[satchelmcqueen]

yes, the guy whos fingers were broke needs to file suit as well as the guy whos toes were smashed at the gingrich appearance.

[JK/SEA]

Just one of many incidents that possibly together, kept Ron Paul from the White House...

i wanna sue over that.

[FriedChicken]

Man ... I wanna know how this turns out. How long is it typical for everything to be resolved?

He is a good man, lives in my congressional district. His caucus was in monroe. i was proud to have the chairman elected out of my district.
