Chicago style thuggery politics finds it's way to the Big Easy.
Even Obama would be proud of their actions.

At the state convention in Shreveport. LA, the GOP's goal of continuing their thug style politics of circumventing the rules continues. After the previous GOP Chair had been voted out and the new Chair who is a Ron Paul delegate was voted in, the old Chair in protest refused to give up the mic and then in a act of desperation, called the cops and claimed the "new" chair was trespassing. In a "police state" style of force, the cops began to assault the Ron Paul Chair, whom just recently had hip replacement surgery. The following videos will show the turn of events. You will also notice half the room turned their backs and faced the opposite wall to listen to the alternate chair (Ron Paul delegate) address the convention business while the ousted thug Chair tried to address the remaining delegates in a separate convention, causing a split at the convention.

    Looks like tyranny is becoming the rule of law.

    I have been saying this for over 20 years people need to start learning the law. An by the law I mean the Constitutions and their original meaning as they were created. Statutes and codes when in contradiction to the constitutions are now laws they are in fact unlawful. An those that attempt to uphold said unlawful laws not only can be killed to stop them they are also able to be sued in federal court under 42 USC 1983 even judges can be sued.

    An another thing why is it you people keep fighting violence with something that does not work? Non-violence never overturned any tyrannical regime. Just ask all the people under Hitler and Stalin how their non-violence worked. Oh sorry you cant they are dead to the tune of over 16 million.

    In a "police state", party affiliation makes no difference.

    Here is a update with better explanation of what transpired.

    Louisiana's Republican convention in Shreveport on Saturday resulted in unexpected assaults and arrests, including one man who had his fingers broken. Many were expecting disagreements over the choice of delegates, especially after the state party's executive committee issued 16 pages of new rules before the convention, but it's doubtful that many guessed the severity of the disagreements. The Ron Paul campaign team explained the conflicts in detail.

    According to Ron Paul and his campaign staff, 113 of the 180 delegates voted to remove the sitting GOP chairman when he refused to respond to requests for information. The 113 delegates than physically moved their chairs away from the "establishment GOP" and started their own convention. The nearly two-thirds of the delegates began their convention, and that's when the mayhem broke out. Security officials, unaware of the newly formed convention, attacked Henry Herford Jr. His prosthetic hip was dislocated and may have to be replaced. Alex Helwig, chairman of the Rules Committee, was arrested after he made a motion to remove the Republican chair. The Shreveport police released him later; however, some of his fingers were broken during his detainment. Video of ...

Video of Helwig being arrested and assaulted has been circulating the internet and has drawn outrage from Ron Paul supporters. Helwig returned to the Louisiana convention later, walking with the aid of a cane. Many are curious about what happened during his detainment. http://www.examiner.com/artic...

    I'd really like to know more about this incident, including what happened before the video started. What's the man's name that is on the floor? I saw the name in the video title, but I read somewhere else that it was incorrect. Does anyone here know?

    Here's some more info.

    “In another instance, State Central Committeeman and Ron Paul supporter Henry Herford Jr. of Franklin Parrish was attacked by some security officials who didn’t realize that the body had voted out the previous chairman. Mr. Herford has a prosthetic hip and according to a doctor at the scene it appears as though the prosthetic was dislocated and may require replacement. The injury occurred as he was beginning to call to order the newly re-formed convention.

    “In yet another instance, Ron Paul supporter Alex Helwig, Chairman of the Rules Committee who made the motion to remove the chair, was arrested by Shreveport police and released. During his brief detainment, some of his fingers were broken and when he returned to the event he was walking with aid of a cane.

    Henry Herford--that's the name I saw when I looked it up earlier. Thanks!

    I hope some bigger media outlets get hold of this and investigate & publicize it more.

    Well let's see, in just a matter of days. Bilderberger members want to see Ron Paul dead, and cops are assaulting a handicapped Ron Paul delegate.

    Most recently DHS just purchased 450 million rounds of .40 caliber ammo. I think DHS better put another order in. They may need it.

    Would it not be ironic if he wanted to investigate the use of excessive force?
