In case you do not think there is and ideological civil war, here in WI, witness this lovely story of a Walker supporter in Chippewa Falls, WI.
A Chippewa Falls man who repeatedly tried to block his estranged wife from driving to the polls Tuesday was hospitalized with head, neck and back injuries when she struck him with her sport utility vehicle.
Jeffrey Radle, a Gov. Scott Walker supporter, was on foot.
Amanda Radle, a recall proponent, was in a Dodge Durango.
The pair had been arguing early Tuesday afternoon over who she was going to vote for in the gubernatorial recall election primary, said Chippewa Falls Police Chief Wendy L. Stelter.
"She was planning on voting for a certain candidate, and it wasn't the candidate he wanted her to vote for," Stelter said.
When Amanda Radle, 30, attempted to pull out, Jeffrey Radle, 36, stood in front of her, according to a police department statement. She nudged him with the vehicle several times.
Each time he would "retreat and re-establish his ground," the release said. "At one point he climbed onto the hood."
When she finally attempted to drive around him, Jeffrey Radle jumped in front of the vehicle and was hit. Aman da Radle left the scene and went to the police department to report the incident, the release said.
Line up ladies - Jeffrey Radle is now single! I wonder if he has the same interests as Robin Vos ? The way that Radle treats his wife, I wonder if he is related to David Prosser?
The point is this kind of behavior used to be saved for Packer losses only in our great state but now its is a common occurrence (see my republican thugs series) with the prevailing theme being the republicans get upset if anyone disagrees with them, they throw fits and rants and threaten violence, then call the liberals "crazy" . This really started the day that Governor Walker "dropped the bomb". From that moment on the Walker administration, and their lap dogs in the assembly, let it be known that there would be absolutely no negotiating with the democrats....who cares that they represent half of the state. The democrats were not even treated as normal human beings or peers. If their republican "leaders"( term used loosely), act like this, what do they think would happen with their most fervent supporters? Why they would act exactly like Jeffrey Radle of course.
At least this story has a punch line, Radle's joke of a brother Mike.
"These crazy liberal nuts are always pulling this crap," said Radle's brother, Mike Radle, describing himself and his brother as firm supporters of Walker, the subject of the recall.Ummm Mike.......nevermind!

Recall supporter runs over non recall supporter. Yup, its the walker supporter who is crazy and a bad example of one side of this thing.
ReplyDeleteReality? Probably two people who didnt get along great to begin with having just another fight that happened to be about politics, and because it was about politics and on election day, it was reported. But by all means, lets make it into a giant partisan issue.
You seem to miss part of the point. In this day and age there are still people who think it's OK for husbands to control who their wives vote for. This kind of thinking suggests women are worth less than men. I personally don't want to associate with anyone who feels this way. It's the 21st freaking century and some people are still living in the dark ages. How many incidents of voter manipulation occurred on Tuesday that didn't get to this level? How many women have been so indoctrinated that they believe their vote is actually supposed to be the vote of the most important man in their life? Sure I'm focusing on a small part of the story, but I think it's the most important part.
DeleteRadle's wife filed for divorce in January, so why he thought that he had any right to even be around her, let alone keep her from voting, is beyond me. In hind sight she probably should have asked for a restraining order against him. I think it's fair to assume that she was trying to escape from him as much to avoid physical abuse as to vote.
ReplyDeleteHopefully her soon to be Ex has learned that it's not a good idea to jump in front of a moving car expecting that it will stop. If it's any consolation, Radle may qualify for the Darwin Award if he doesn't pull through.
The two brothers are well acquainted with the police and judicial system, which gives them something in common with so many other Walker supporters and former aides.
I thought the name sounded familiar.
Deletewhats funny and sad at the same time G is that Charlie Sykes has been running with this story as if the woman was in the wrong here.

Of course we all know Don Pridemore would think she should just remember a time when they got along,,,,,,
I was just searching to see if there was a follow-up to the story yet. I can't understand why it was the wife that was arrested and released on bond, when it was him that jumped in front of a moving vehicle. In addition, isn't it illegal to interfere with a person's right to vote? I would think it would be a felony.
