Colo. Teacher Kicks Student for GOP Shirt

10 minutes ago Strange News - AP

DURANGO, Colo. - A part-time college instructor has apologized for kicking a student because he was wearing a Republican shirt.

Fort Lewis College student Mark O'Donnell said he was showing people his College Republicans sweat shirt, which said "Work for us now ... or work for us later," when Maria Spero kicked him in the leg at an off-campus restaurant.

Spero then said "she should have kicked me harder and higher," said O'Donnell. "To physically take that out on someone because you disagree with them, that is completely wrong."

Police Sgt. Mitch Higgins said Saturday that O'Donnell wanted to press charges and a misdemeanor summons would be issued.

1. I guess there's dumbasses...
on both sides of the fence. Then again, Republicans LIE, so I'm hard pressed to believe the guy.

I probably would have kicked him as well.... If I didn't punch his lights out first. Christ, tell me what that sounds like to you?

8. Bingo!
"College Fascists is more like it."

What's worse is that they're so open about it--proud of it, even. It used to be embarrassing to say you supported slavery. Exploitation of the lower classes used to be something that people did, but hid. No longer.

Fascist America looms over the horizon ...

18. And what ever happened to that little GOP shit that knocked a
woman to the floor at the RNC convention and REPEATEDLY kicked her while she was on the ground? Was he ever charged with anything? Probably not even a misdemeanor. :grr:
