What ever happened to that kid who kicked a protestor at the (R) Conv.?

[bluestateguy]

Was his identity ever discovered? Was he arrested? Charged? Anyone, anyone?



On edit: I believe the speculation that it was Deryk Schlessinger was debunked. This is just the picture I found.

1. Atrios discussed that - wasn't he a Penn student?

[Tim_in_HK]

3. Yes, he is (was?) a Penn Student

I believe active in Young Republicans there.

Don't think anything happened with that . . .

[smirkymonkey]

Yes, but his name was Scott Robinson...

there was a post on it a while ago, but I wonder if charges were ever pressed against him.

2. Probably being groomed for a GOP senate run in the future

Either that, or he was hired by Delay as a page/thug.

4. The little bastard didn't owe up to the beating

What a fucking coward.

5. He got a rug burn!! (see below)

I just checked the comments left on the article exposing his identity in the Daily Pennsylvanian. That burly female protestor gave him an owie! I hope he does try to sue.

Scott was pushed and obtained burn marks on his knees (fortunately for the agitators this wasn't caught on camera). Scott already has quite a strong civil case against Clare Martin and Act-Up, is building it by the day, and hasn't ruled out pressing charges of his own. He also hasn't ruled out a libel claim.

7. Well. that cowardly prick can add mitchum to his dubious libel suit

6. It's 1:24 pm EST time, do you know who, SCOTT ROBINSON" is

kicking right now? He needs to spend hours of community service in a domestic abuse center for retribution.
