what the...F!?

this stuff is getting out of control, why are they beating our plaintiffs? wish we knew more...

[CPUd]

By 'beaten', do they mean physically or verbally?

IMO, police report, or it didn't happen.

[sailingaway]

I tweeted the lawyer an inquiry but he hasn't tweeted in an hour and may be off twitter right now. He's answered before but 140 characters is limiting.

I guess verbal injuries dont require medical care...so I guess physically

[sailingaway]

I heard people were beaten in at least one of the states, but I don't want to say which because I'm not sure I am remembering correctly which one.

This was not through the lawyers, but before they came onto the scene.

[RDM]

What? Any news on how they are?

This was posted earlier today on L4RP FB page:

Look at what happened tonight to one of our plaintiffs:

Cassie McSasserson
My friend and fellow liberty defender was assaulted tonight this is the event in his words:

I'm really surprised at how the Executive Committee went down tonight, that's for sure! The meeting had already been seconded to be closed for the night when Mike Ebert started ranting about folks in the Republican party that he disagrees with. He specifically labeled fellow Republicans as Libertarians, saying that they weren't even Republicans... just because he disagrees with them. He specifically targeted a fine Republican that is currently running for a position in the party that I know for a fact has always been a Republican, just like myself. He then wildly accused me of being the same! I couldn't take the attack anymore and straightened out the facts. He then got incredibly angry and reiterated his lies. Since he wasn't willing to cease his tirade of lies I declared to all in the room that he was lying. That didn't sit too well with Mike.

He yelled, "F@ck YOU!" as loud as he could, but I did not use any swearing language back at him. I pointed out to the crowd that this was the type of division within the Republican party that we were all trying to put a stop to. That made him even more angry and then he said that he wanted to 'take me outside'! I told him that wasn't a good idea, then I tried to walk past him and leave the meeting like others were doing. Mike Ebert blocked my path with his shoulder which resulted in a minor push against me, shoulder to shoulder, then as he ASSAULTED ME FROM BEHIND!

Mike Ebert hit me on the back multiple times, I think 3-4 times, then I tried to protect myself by covering my face and others grabbed Mike from behind, stopping the assault as he continued to yell obscenities at me! After they pulled him to the back of the office, I raised my hands in the air which held my phone in one hand and my meeting papers in the other. I said, "You all saw that I did not lay a hand on Mike Ebert, RIGHT?! You all saw that he punched me and assaulted me, RIGHT?!" The entire room was in shock over having just seen Mike Ebert assault me. A few came with me to make sure that I was OK, and to ask why in the world Mike would get so angry and assault me like that. My back stung a little bit but I'm sure that I'll be OK. I have had back injuries caused by having been run over by a truck in 1996 and I don't think that they were aggravated. I think that I made a couple of new friends tonight that are beginning to understand that I have been the victim of being ostracized for so long, since I am new to having a leadership position within the Pima GOP.

I never thought that getting more involved in politics and taking a stand for integrity would result in being assaulted by such an angry person. It is quite frustrating and I'm not sure about what to do.

Thanks.

I can't believe they do that. Like that old man and that little old lady punching Ron Paul delegates in OK. It is some sense of entitlement that if they are outvoted (or out argued, apparently) they have some RIGHT to punch people.

[devil21]

The assaulted committeeman should file a lawsuit for assault. Get pictures of bruises and names of witnesses. Don't talk to cops about stuff like this. It's proven which team they work for. But make them pay for their conduct because if we don't make people like that pay then it becomes clear to others that we can be pushed around without consequence. Bad precedent to start if we're serious about taking over the internal party structure. A lawsuit against the assailant is warranted.

[RonRules]

I'm off to the Federal courthouse in Orange county. I'd do updates from inside if I can, but I don't think they allow it.

On the docket today, we will find out if the judge approves the motion to dismiss.

Thank you!

Same here. Will be waiting!

Bump for an update?

It will depend on thier order on the calendar.

[tod evans]

Drats!

[sailingaway]

I've seen nothing yet on twitter, though.

[sailingaway]

By the way, after a big twitter discussion about him with some thinking the atty is horrid for speaking against the Mass delegates who put out a video saying they'd vote for Romney (as their state rules require), I tweeted him asking him to stop calling delegates traitors because it divided supporters of the suit, and I think he also saw a bunch of our comments about thinking his twitter acct didn't convey the most professional image. His account is now blocked to people who aren't confirmed followers (I follow people who retweet his stuff so I can still see it but I think he made me not a confirmed follower, too... even though I was pretty much on his side. I probably did agree I didn't think the tweets put up a professional image, though.)

In any event, I think it was a good move by him to restrict his twitter account.

[RonRules]

The case will start in a few minutes. We're on break now. I absolutely love that judge. Only Charles Bell for the defendants. Two Ron Paul supporters here. I won't text from inside.

[sailingaway]

Thank you for the update!

[robertwerden]

Yea I told him that too.... unfortunatley my twitter acc password is on my pc back home and I am visiting my hometown so I can not access tweets... I started following him at the very begining and he gets "emotional" about some things .

Cant wait to hear how it went...


EDIT:
When did he restricted access to his account? I have his recent tweets visible. (couldnt wait too curious reseted password )

Judge wrote a tentative ruling. I dont have it. Wants both side to read it and reconvene at 5 pm. May go on till 9 pm. Wants resubmittal by Gilbert in time for final ruling before Aug 27 convention. Wants defense to get approval from Democratic party for such a mater interpretation of the civil rights laws. LOL
Judge also commented of the fact that Ron Paul voted against the civil rights voting act.

Come down to the court house at 5:00. Sparks will fly. Room 9d.

[tuggy24g]

Are these lawyers getting anyway? I have not heard anything about this going anywhere.

It was nice meeting you, RonRules! I was disappointed you aren't a naked lady with a dolphin though.

Very interesting stuff in that courtroom.... I'm going to go into more detail later when I have more time (I took plenty of notes), but for now, I'll say this:

I think the judge seems very fair, and no-nonsense. Richard Gilbert seems competent, even if his complaint wasn't quite sufficiently written the first time around. Luckily today it seems he was able to convince the judge there is enough there to warrant letting him amend his complaint in order to include enough plausible allegation of wrongdoing with enough specificity as to warrant the injunction he's asking for. Gilbert stated the facts and presented himself very logically, and while the judge is still unclear as to some of the basics of the case, he did seem to agree there is something going on here that warrants letting this case go further. Gilbert brought up Massachusetts, and that seemed to be the clincher that gave the judge enough to say "I can't dismiss this entirely because there is something here."

So it appears he is going to let Gilbert amend his complaint so that it conforms more with the legal standard required in order to have a valid case.

Looks to me like the motion to dismiss is failing. But I'm not sure if that's 100% sure until we re-convene at 5PM today. I plan on going back to observe that as well. Very surprised that there were only two of us Ron Paul supporters there to observe. Not surprised at all there was no media there whatsoever.

That pisses me off to no end that he would even bring that up, to the point that one does not even need to argue Dr. Paul's rationale on another matter, as it has absolutely nothing to with the disenfranchisment and other shenanigans against the delegates... However, I hate to say it, but I've seen this coming since they decided to call it "Lawyers for Ron Paul" instead of Lawyers for Election Justice or something like that, as it makes it much easier for them to dismiss this as a group with a clear agenda, rather than simply seeking justice as any citizen for any candidate should demand.

However, glad to hear that the judge is at least being somewhat fair here to not completely dismiss it.

Keep the updates coming.
