I believe when the police have proof of a crime and refuse to act then they basically give a green light for Street Justice

this is where were at

said media will be portraying "poor little Jimmy" as the victim.

Tempting, but not a good idea.

He will go crying to the media that he's a victim , the media will report that he was beaten... probably by a liberal because the police refuse to act

The media will finally be reporting on the crimes of James O'Keefe

And reporting on the police giving him a pass

He's a Republican operative; apparently, they have a higher calling.

what I saw the clerks were giving him forms to have the absent prospective voters fill out-

If O'Keefe is trying to prove that people can do things which break the law-(voting under another persons name) and saying that everyone should have ID proving they are who they say they are, then he must also believe that similar ID be required for anyone to purchase a firearm.

There is a federal law that prohibits people from impersonating another to vote, punishable by 5yrs in prison and $10,000 fine.
