Ohio harassment
Edited on Tue Nov-02-04 07:20 AM by muchacho
Okay, I'm not a violent man but I believe force sometimes must be met with force.

If a poll "observer" gets in your face push back. If you see them getting on someone weaker step in. Any incident will make them look like thugs and will take some of their arrogant wind out of their sails.

2. Bring pepper spray.
If they assault you, put them on the floor for 45 minutes and call the cops.

4. LMAO
Excellent idea.
That's where those piece of craps belong---on the floor writhing, puking, and crying like the little babies they really are.

If someone attempted intimidation on me or my family then they can expect to be on the floor, fast.

6. Agreed - if Dem voters start the attacks, then media
will make THEM out to be the thugs.

Law says they can ask for ID. Show the ID. Attacking them or using pepper spray doesn't seem a good way to put another vote in the Dem column.

3. Leave it to our Election Protection Volunteers
They have been trained, many are clergy or lawyers.

7. were there any independent thugs?
I'm more worried about the young Republican punks who harass and intimidate minorities as they stand in line in Democratic districts.

The PA GOP had the nerve to ask me if I wanted to help do this! assholes!

8. Challenge the challengers
Ask the challengers for their identification.. Take down their name and address. Then tell them you are giving the information to your lawyer for the lawsuit you are going to file against them, and that you are going to post their information on the internet. Scare the hell out of the Repuk Thugs.

9. "help, help, I'm being repressed!"
Seriously, if anyone gives you any trouble today, you need to get vocal about it right then and there. Create a kind of real-time verbal record of the incident for witnesses to remember:


"You are harassing me! Stop harassing me!"


Or whatever is appropriate for the situation. Repeat as needed. Don't get drawn into an argument -- just stay on message. Be loud and clear.


If someone physically assaults you, and you have to do something to defend yourself, again -- get vocal about it for the benefit of the witnesses:


"You are assaulting me! Stop assaulting me!" (as you shove away the violent freeper goon*)


Just my $.02

*assuming that your assailant has no lawful authority to lay hands on you -- ie, isn't a law enforcement officer
