Once again, the liberals of Wisconsin show how pathetic and stupid they really are.
From the Wisconsin State Journal: A woman whose balloon was popped by a state worker last month during a noontime singalong at the state Capitol has sued the worker, claiming he violated her constitutional rights.
Leslie A. Peterson, of Madison, is seeking unspecified compensatory and punitive damages from Ronald J. Blair, an assistant director in the Division of State Facilities, who allegedly used a knife to pop a red heart-shaped balloon that Peterson was holding at the Capitol on July 25.
Blair, 56, has been charged with disorderly conduct while armed for the incident, which allegedly happened during the daily Solidarity Singalong, an ongoing protest of the state law that sharply curtailed collective bargaining rights for most public workers.
The lawsuit alleged that Blair violated Peterson's free speech and due process rights and subjected her to unreasonable search and seizure.
According to the lawsuit, after Blair popped the balloon, Peterson followed him, demanded to see his identification and told him she intended to file a report with Capitol Police.

If this liberal thug cannot handle having a her balloon broken, then she needs to institutionalized at the Mendota Mental Health Institute in Madison.
What these idiots in the newspapers don't mention is that these liberal thugs bring the balloons into the Capitol and then let them loose, so they rise to the top of the Capitol. This is vandalism because it is not easy to remove the balloons from the ceiling.
While the State worker over reacted, he already has been charged with a crime. And now this liberal idiot wants to sue? Give the protester $1 for the stupid balloon and make her pay for the court costs and the state lawyer fees.
Idiot liberals in Wisconsin at it again.

What they seem to miss when talking about Leslie A Peterson is what does she do exactly when not violating Capital decorum and rules set forth by the Wisconsin Department of Administration?
ReplyDeleteI decided to look into who she is....She is known as @leslieamsterdam on twitter so that gave me a confirmation that she is the lone person with this name in Madison and owner of a shop called Amsterdam:

Starting to think she is looking for a way to salvage her little store by sueing the deep pockets of the Great State of Wisconsin

That is a different Leslie!
DeleteThe woman ought to be ashamed.
ReplyDeleteTalk about a half told story. A camera filed the whole incident - about all the people who witneeded this man grab her arm and shover her into a woman's bathroom door, or how he bleed all over the capital steps and on other people and how the police had to come, arrest and remove him.
ReplyDeleteI am glad she sued, he sounded like a real nut case!
