The threats and intimidation were spoken by a (so called) man of the cloth…no less. Yeah, Jesus Christ was all about stalking and frightening children for the ‘better good’.
“By any means necessary!”
(Michigan Capitol Confidential) –LANSING — A speaker at a union protest against right-to-work legislation said if Gov. Rick Snyder signed the bill he would get “no rest” and that protesters would be at his ”daughter’s soccer game.”
The Rev. Charles Williams II made the comments Tuesday to loud cheers before a group of thousands of union workers.
After his promises to harass Gov. Snyder, he introduced Rep. Richard Hammel, D-Mt. Morris Township, and House Minority Leader Tim Greimel, D-Auburn Hills. Williams is a Detroit-area pastor and left-wing activist.
Gov. Snyder later that day signed a bill into law making Michigan a right-to-work state. One of his daughters is a 16-year-old high school student.
“Just know one thing, Rick Snyder: You sign that bill, you won’t get no rest,” Williams said.
“We’ll meet you on Geddes Road [Where Gov Snyder lives with his family -ed.].
We’ll visit you at your church. We’ll be at your office.
“Because Michigan workers will not take it laying down — by any means necessary!” he said.
Early today[December 11, 2012], Clint Tarver, known as “The Hot Dog Guy” here in Lansing had his business attacked and destroyed by out of line and out of control protesters near the Capitol.
Everyone who has passed the hot dog cart knows what a kind and caring individual Clint is. He never fails to bestow a smile or friendly greeting. In no way [did] he provoke this attack, nor any of the behavior displayed toward him.
Beyond the Cart: The Story of Clint Tarver:
Regardless of your position on current legislation, rebuilding Clint’s Hot Dogs is something we can all support. Please give what you can to get this deserving businessman back out there!
If you would like to help Clint get back on his feet ==>DONATE HERE
The woman (Lorilea Susanne) who set up the fundraising page for Clint has spoken to his wife. Apparently Clint was hired to provide catering for the Americans For Prosperity tent which was also destroyed by union thugs.
*UPDATE* 11:40am – I have spoken with Linda Lee, Clint’s wife. She says he is absolutely overwhelmed with our support, even more so than by the events of yesterday. I would like to clarify the events, however. Clint hired as a caterer for the AFP tent which was torn down. He was much more concerned about the others, and particularly helped to get the women out of the tent. It was when he returned to gather his equipment that the taunts and racial slurs began. He says the working people did not respect the working man. He was not there to be political; he was just there to serve. This is the Clint we know and love. Please, let’s respect him and leave our political opinions out of this. This is about our support for Clint.
Romney’s Saturday started off well. He was the star of the Ingham County Lincoln Day breakfast, an eggs-and-coffee-and-county-commissioner-placards affair in the dining room of a Lansing, Mich., country club.
Before he spoke, Republicans heard “The Star-Spangled Banner” sung by the Old School Fellas, a zoot-suited amateur doo-wop group. “Mitt’s a good, Christian man like I am,” explained Clinton Tarver, wearing the reddest of the zoot suits.
Update 4: AFP Michigan organizer Annie Patnaude discusses the attack. She was onsite and witnessed the incident.
Update 5: Dana Loesch speaks with Clint.
Update 6: $23,771 raised so far. God Bless you one and all.
Update 7: Lee Stranahan’s in person interview with Clint The Hot Dog Guy. Topic: The union mob racist attack and the the attack on the AFP tent in Lansing. At first Clint was caught in the crossfire then the vicious union mob turned their racist anger towards him. He was working for the enemy –Americans For Prosperity. Thus deserving of their wrath.
Good Lord. Of course, they have no sense of shame, but are they also completely lacking a sense of irony? I mean, the Left has spent nearly four years building their “Tea Party is racist” meme, and the AFL-CIO brutes — who were nearly all white, as Stranahan reports and video verifies — decide they’ll just waste all that liberal media propaganda in order to terrorize a guy whose only “crime” is serving hot dogs?
Now, I do hope somebody will explain to me how this isn’t racist. An overwhelmingly white crowd goes after a black man who’s just trying to make a living. Defend yourselves, racists.
An anonymous donor has offered $1,000 for information leading to the arrest of this thug. I am pledging an additional $200 and Glenn Reynolds, a.k.a. Instapundit has pledged another $1,000.
*** UPDATE 3: Based on tips we’ve established the first name, above. Am working to identify two possible last names that share letters and the union local number from tips. We need as much video/photos as possible that can give us a clear shot of the name and number on the jacket. Please look closely at videos and photos you’ve access to; perhaps you’ll be able to get a decent screen grab.

Leftist tolerance: Beating opponents to a pulp.
Sen. Kedzie’s statement via Red State:
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.
Reminder:
Obama’s 2008 election marching order; “Argue With Friends and Neighbors Get In Their Face!”
Update:
Freedom Eden reports on victim Sean Kedzi’s interview with Mark Belling of 1130 WISN:
Mark Belling interviewed Sean Kedzie on his program this afternoon.
Sean described the details of the beating and the extent of his injuries.
When Sean first engaged the two college-age males who stole his sign, they were about 20 to 30 yards away. He called to them, telling them to bring the sign back.
One guy apologized, saying he was really sorry. He put it back in the yard, as his friend came around the side of Sean. They both jumped him. He was choked and punched repeatedly in the head.
During the beating, the two males said things like, “F*** Romney” and “Romney sucks” and “Go Obama.”
The assault was so brutal that the emergency room physician treating Sean was concerned that he might have skull fractures or a fractured eye socket. He said his left eye was injured so severely that it was swollen shut and he couldn’t see.
I do not suspect Obama will hold a beer summit any time soon…
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — The quality of the surveillance video that shows the brutal assault of a Pittsburgh CAPA school teacher is so good that police are certain they’ll track down the group of teens responsible for the attack.
English instructor Jim Addlespurger was walking down Tito Way after school on October 4th, [around 3:30 p.m -ed.] when one of the six teens blind-sided him with a punch to the face.
The blow knocked him unconscious and the teens casually walked away laughing as the victim lay in the alley.
(WPXI) –When officers arrived Addlespurger, who students described as a well-liked English teacher, had contusions and lacerations on his face, head and hands and appeared to be dazed. He could not remember or explain what happened to him.
……
“When I go to his class, we do our work while having fun. He plays the guitar and is really a great guy. I was shocked,” student Cody Grabowski said.
This type of violent blind assault is commonly known as the the ‘knock-out’ game. A game of sick thrills played by cowardly thugs.

A gang of thugs named after a sitting POTUS. Historical! Good to know Obama inspires youth to be the best that they can be.
If Obama had a son...he would look like this felonious punk.
(ST Louis Post-Dispatch) — A St. Louis teen who authorities say is a member of a gang called the “Obama Boyz” has been charged with two shootings on Saturday.Anthony Jamal Lee, 18, fired at a group of people from the window of a Grand Prix at 2:17 p.m., according to charges. A 13-year-old boy was struck in the side of his body and had to be hospitalized; a 17-year-old boy was grazed by bullets on his face and arm.
……
Lee, who was charged Friday in St. Louis Circuit Court, faces a mix of 10 felony counts of first-degree assault, armed criminal action and firing shots from a vehicle. Judge Theresa Burke set $100,000 cash bail.
Authorities said Lee is a documented member of the “Obama Boyz” gang, but did not elaborate.
Adding insult to injury, the victim’s mother is the parent who fought and won a legal battle to force the school district to drop the hefty fee students were being charged to ride the bus. She is still in the process of fighting to get the parents reimbursed.
"Jones was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries and received three staples to his head, officials said." (WRTV-ABC)
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH TV)- A Franklin Township mother of two is demanding answers from Franklin Township Community Schools after a violent video was posted on Facebook.On Friday [August 24, 2012] afternoon Laura Hoagland showed video of her 14-year-old son being attacked by a 15-year-old boy on the school bus.
Hoagland walked 24-Hour-News 8 through the footage. She says her son was pushed, punched, and humiliated for not getting out of a seat on a bus. Her son suffered a bloody nose and had to get several staples in the head.
“Tears came to my eyes,” said Hoagland after watching the video. “I’m angry that someone could do that to another human being.”
A student filmed the fight with a camera phone. The graphic video circulated on Facebook.
24-Hour-News 8 interviewed Hoagland last year after she filed a lawsuit against the Franklin Township Community Schools for charging for busing. She won that fight; now students are able to ride the school bus for free.
“I help to fight to get those buses back,” said Hoagland. “I’m fighting for parents to get reimbursement back, and that includes this boy’s family and that boy.”
In a message whom police believe was left on the video’s Facebook page by the assailant, the unremorseful thug laughs the assault off.
(WRTV) A message police believe was from the boy who started the fight was posted beneath the Facebook video.”lmao dat lil (expletive) dat wassnt nun i hit him three times nun major yaa-noo,” the posting read.
Proper English Translation: ‘Laugh my ass off, that little (expletive) that wasn’t nothing, I hit him three times. Nothing major.
The punk was arrested.
The boy was arrested on preliminary charges of battery and disorderly conduct. His mother told RTV6 that her son has been suspended from school. [...]
Victim Pat Mahaney, 45, of North College Hill, Ohio
They were “bored” and admitted to authorities that they would of continued the violent assault had neighbors not stepped in. The neighbors intervention likely saved Pat Mahaney’s life.
Sucker punched from behind, then the mob swarmed and struck repeatedly; kicking and punching Pat while he was down.
(New York Daily News) –Six teens were arrested Sunday [August 12, 2012] after beating a man unconscious in a Cincinnati suburb – because they were bored and looking for something to do.
Pat Mahaney, 45, of North College Hill, landed in the hospital after a vicious attack that left him with a black eye and severe internal injuries. He was hurt so badly that his stomach filled with blood that required a tube down his throat to drain.
“I find this whole thing appalling and despicable,” North College Hill Police Chief Gary Foust told the Daily News. Foust added that the 13- and 14-year-old boys were arrogant and that he believes the attack was pre-meditated.
Mahaney was returning home with a six-pack of beer when the juveniles walked by him on the sidewalk in the opposite direction, according to an incident report obtained by the Daily News. The boys then turned around and began to follow him. One punched Mahaney in the back of the head, knocking him to the ground.
The teens then took turns kicking and punching him in the head and face repeatedly, the report said. One of the delinquents took a beer can and threw it at Mahaney’s head. The attack only came to an end when a neighbor, witnessing the attack, intervened and said he was calling the cops.
……
It did not take long to find the suspects – five were arrested that night, the sixth the next day. They told authorities they only stopped beating Mahaney because neighbors intervened.
……
All six of the boys were charged with two felonies each – aggravated riot and felonious assault.
Update: Premeditated, ZERO remorse, ZERO hate crime –the victim is white.
(Cincinnati.com) –The first five arrestees were: twin brothers Tyree and Terrell Mizzell, Lamont Champion and Daquan Cain, all 13-year-olds; and Michael E. James, 14.
The sixth and final suspect was arrested Tuesday. His name was not immediately available Wednesday.
All except one have been released from Hamilton County’s juvenile detention center and are on house arrest at their parents’ residences, court officials said.
The teens are scheduled for trial Aug. 24.
…..
“It was a heinous crime but it was not a hate crime,” North College Hill Police Chief Gary Foust said. Several residents called police, noting the suspects are black and inquiring whether Mahaney was specifically targeted because he is white. He was not, the chief said.
[Riiight! Because violent black flash mobs are constantly targeting other blacks to get their vicious jump on. *Roll eyes*]
But police were struck by how cocky the boys were for their age.
“They were pretty arrogant in the interview with us,” Foust said. “It’s appalling. I think it’s despicable. This appears to be premeditated and there was no remorse on behalf of any of the assailants. Thirteen-year-olds ought to be playing basketball, not running the streets looking for ways to entertain themselves at the expense of somebody.” [...]
