Five Dem Activists Charged With Slashing Tires of GOP Workers
The [five]activists - all employees of the John Kerry campaign - are accused of flattening the tires on 25 vehicles rented by the state Republican Party to get out the vote and deliver poll watchers Nov. 2.
Yes, if they did it, it's wrong. But let's not forget the presumption of innocence. Watch out for a big legal battle in this case, though. Milwaukee uber-lawyer James Shellow represents Sowande Omokunde, one of those charged. Omokunde is the son of Rep. Gwen Moore, D-Wis., and Michael Pratt, the son of former Milwaukee acting mayor Marvin Pratt.
The Kerry campaign has acknowledged the five were paid employees of the campaign but maintains that they were not acting on its behalf.
