Incivility In Charlottesville

This video came out today of some rude moron confronting Sen. Allen in Charlottesville. Allah links to the site where this "Real Man" that JFK talked about today gives us his side of the story:

My name is Mike Stark. I am a law student at the University of Virginia, a marine, and a citizen journalist. Earlier today at a public event, I was attempting to ask Senator Allen a question about his sealed divorce record and his arrest in the 1970s, both of which are in the public domain. His people assaulted me, put me in a headlock, and wrestled me to the ground. Video footage is available here, from an NBC affiliate.

I demand that Senator Allen fire the staffers who beat up a constituent attempting to use his constitutional right to petition his government. I also want to know why Senator Allen would want his staffers to assault someone asking questions about matters of public record in the heat of a political campaign. Why are his divorce records sealed? Why was he arrested in the 1970s? And why did his campaign batter me when I asked him about these questions.

I wasn't aware that the 'constitutional right to petition his government' included rushing up to someone in a crowded hallway and screaming in their face. I guess my invite to join Volokh just went out the window...damn.

Evidently this lower-case 'm' Marine was asking Allen if he spit on his exwife. Now that's the kind of kinky info we need to know! What with the peepee-smoking composing exploits of his opponent things are really geting interesting down in the Old Dominion!

This idiot was lucky he wasn't shoved through a plate glass window for his stunt.
