From Charlie Sykes, a Milwaukee radio talk show host: State Sen. Neal Kedzie just released the following statement:
Early on Friday morning, October 19th, my son Sean was awakened by
noises outside his residence in Whitewater. As he went to see what the
commotion was about, he noticed an individual removing a Romney/Ryan
yard sign from his property. He yelled to the person that they were
taking something not theirs and to return it immediately. The individual
returned the sign, however, a second person confronted and attacked
Sean without warning.
Sean was wrestled to the ground by both persons, held down by a
constricting chokehold, and struck repeatedly about the face and head.
He nearly passed out from the chokehold and suffered contusions to his
face and eyes.
Fortunately, an alert neighbor heard the commotion, scared the
individuals away, and called the police. My wife and I were awakened by a
telephone call from Sean’s roommate that Sean had been taken by
ambulance to Fort Atkinson Memorial Hospital.
Sean was treated for his injuries and released from the hospital the
same day. As this was a private family matter, we chose not to remark
publicly about it and allow law enforcement to do their job. But we
understand these types of incidents will eventually become public
and questions will arise, particularly in my position as a state
legislator.
Sean is still recovering from the injuries he sustained as a result of
this beating, and we are confident he will make a full recovery. But
obviously, as parents, we are shaken by this event and very troubled it
was apparently initiated and motivated for political reasons. http://www.620wtmj.com/blogs/charliesykes/175306581.html
All this over a stupid sign.
