THUGS ATTACK: Young Romney Supporter Brutally Beaten in Wisconsin

Developing…

The son of a Republican state senator in Wisconsin was brutally attacked and beaten on Friday morning by two thugs attempting to steal his Romney-Ryan yard sign in Whitewater, Wisconsin. In a statement released on Monday, Sen. Neal Kedzie described his son’s ordeal in horrific terms. Sean Kedzie, the senator’s son, spent Friday night in the hospital suffering from serious injuries to his head.

Here is Sen. Kedzie’s statement:

 Early on Friday morning, October 19th, my son Sean was awakened by noises outside his residence in Whitewater. As he went to see what the commotion was about, he noticed an individual removing a Romney/Ryan yard sign from his property. He yelled to the person that they were taking something not theirs and to return it immediately. The individual returned the sign, however, a second person confronted and attacked Sean without warning.

Sean was wrestled to the ground by both persons, held down by a constricting chokehold, and struck repeatedly about the face and head. He nearly passed out from the chokehold and suffered contusions to his face and eyes. Fortunately, an alert neighbor heard the commotion, scared the individuals away, and called the police. My wife and I were awakened by a telephone call from Sean’s roommate that Sean had been taken by ambulance to Fort Atkinson Memorial Hospital.

Sean was treated for his injuries and released from the hospital the same day. As this was a private family matter, we chose not to remark publicly about it and allow law enforcement to do their job. But we understand these types of incidents will eventually become public and questions will arise, particularly in my position as a state legislator.

Sean is still recovering from the injuries he sustained as a result of this beating, and we are confident he will make a full recovery. But obviously, as parents, we are shaken by this event and very troubled it was apparently initiated and motivated for political reasons.

Television and radio stations in Wisconsin are starting to pick up this story. Polls show the state to be a battleground state with President Obama and Governor Romney statistically tied in the polls.

    Yeah, his neighbor was in on it, the cops are in on it, and Black Helicopters whisked away the perpetrators.
    ..and the cuts, contusions and bruises are there for you to see with your own lyin’ eyes.
    You are not a bad person…just not really a too-awfully bright one.
    Here’s some more ‘downs’ for you [v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v]

    Get well soon, Sean. We are with you 100%. May the Lord be with you. Let there be justice. Stealing yard signs is so common one need keep a steady watch. Democrats do not respect property of others in WIsconsin. This brutal physical assault is more than a private matter, It hits us all and sends a signal what Democrats do if left unrestrained goes unpunished. Almost all the vandalism and terrorizing political attacks have been done by pampered spoiled brats against Republicans mostly in presidentiasl elections.

    It is common and standard practice for Wisconsin Democrats to destroy , steal, physically assault and impede voters in presidential elections. There have been some limited convictions but because the crimes, voter fraud and thefts are usually in Milwaukee and perpetrated by adult children of high ranking Democrats not much ever happened.

    The son of a former mayor and high ranking Democrat were involved in widespread vandalism in 2004 or 08. The Democrats also have spray painted Nazi swatzika on Republican headquarters. But, the slashed tires on a Republican party fleet of vehicles set to drive voters including disabled to polls in the last presidential elections or two took the cake. This voter fleet vandalism may actually have been punished and involved the high ranking ‘children’ of big state Democrats,. But the terrorizing tone continues.
    Wisconsin Democrats have a strong sense of entitlement, and think themselves above the law.

      Actually, what happened to both Sean AND wumingren is becoming the norm throughout the 50 states. It’s pathetic that the left-wing has deteriorated into nothing but thugs.

      • celador2

        Kod, I am sorry to hear that negative report that this is common in all 50 but it is no surprise. We learn by copying and people read about violence in one place then copy it in another state. I want to think ignorance drives this violence. And if it is not reinforced and rewarded there may be justice and social condemnation.
        During Walker Recall there was much mob intimidating behavior outside his neighborhood and house, His kids Facebook was hacked and even the governor’s mother was attacked in a super market. Thugs are what they are. They know better too.

  • celador2

    Wisconsin Democrats make national news with their violence in presidential elections. Stealing yards signs is routine for them as is slashing tires. Physical attacks that require hospitalization is just one more step of escalation.

  • celador2

    Will you lay out what makes you think that claim of hoax with specific evidence or reasons you say it is a hoax. Neither police nor hospital made that charge, why do you?

    • kodster5

      Because she can’t believe that it can happen. How naive can one be, right?

  • ConservativeWanderer

    Prayers going out to the Kedzie family.

    The Oh-So-Tolerant Left on display again.

  • spolson

    Lose the photo, I doesn’t serve the story.

    • streiff

      no thank you. We like the photo.

      • ConservativeWanderer

        I concur. The photo brings the story home.

        Maybe that’s why Spolson doesn’t like it.

  • wumingren

    I haven’t been putting up yard signs for several election cycles due to the vandalism by the Left. They have spray-painted them. They have stolen them. They have cut them in half. They have moved them to places that block drivers’ view, so drivers will be mad at me. They have bent them over. And the last time I put up signs, someone drove through my yard to flatten them all.

    Whenever I complained to the police, they wouldn’t even take an official complaint or write a report. When the guy drove through my yard, he flattened signs and shrubs and left tire ruts. The police said it was probably just someone who lost control. I told them that the guy had complete control, because he missed the telephone pole, my mailbox and five trees, but flattened all six of my yard signs. The cop then said there was no property damage because they were just temporary yard signs, not structures.

    I think maybe I should plant some concrete filled steel pipes, like the ones in front of store entrances, and attach my signs to those. Let the guy try ramming my signs then!

    I am outnumbered 2 to 1 by Democrats where I live, so what’s the big deal? Republicans never win elections around here anyway, so why all the hostility? I’m no threat to them at all (not at the moment). One reason I am not putting up yard signs is because when Obama goes down, these Lib-prog terrorists will be out seeking revenge. In case the Lib-progs riot, I have all of my firearms at the ready. Normally, my long guns are stored away until hunting season, but I now have them out of their gun cases and loaded. I am ready for them, but unlike them, I won’t be gunning for them. I will just be protecting myself and my family from them.

    I am fed up with liberals and their lack of tolerance. This is out of controll. Liberals are allowed to call women vile names, destroy property of others, beat, harrass, make false police reports and claims, and it never makes the news. NEVER do the msm report on it. Yet I have not heard of one conservative stealing property, destroying property, beating people up or making death threats or anything. What the hell is going on! And when is someone going to step up? Where are our senators and congress poeple? Where is the outrage over this behavior? What the hell happened to AMERICA????

    • kodster5

      You said it in the very last sentence. Hell. When you take Yahweh out of your life, then the demons of hell take over. Those of us that still have faith in Yahweh, are the ones that do not descend into such vile behavior.

    • celador2

      The UN will provide affiliated groups to oversee and monitor ‘minority vote supression’ by Republicans at the request of Democratic party civil rights groups. Monitoring for fraud as outside groups do overseas and in ME will not happen in US Monitoring, just ‘suppression of minority votes’ will be the concern not fraud. They also will monitor the entire voting process not limited to actual polling place interactions, say reports.

      I do not want the UN in Wisconsin but they might consider in the states they are allowed taking a look at the vandalism , theft and intimidation by the Democrats that is one sided and wide spread.

  • kodster5

    Just goes to show that the term “Demonrats” is appropriate for their party. Conservatives have Yahweh-given morality… Liberals have taken Yahweh out of their lives, and it shows.

  • saltporkdoc

    That is exactly what is in store for the whole country if Obama is re-elected! Don’t believe it? Remember the voter intimidation case at the polls in Philadelphia in 2008. DOJ had a conviction in that case, but threw it away!
    This administration is no unifying force for this country. President Bush was castigated in the press for being attentive to his “legacy” for his presidency. Obama need not worry, his legacy will be that of illegality, deceit, divisiveness, incompetence and radical anti-Americanism!

  • mcginn2

    Sorry to hear about this beating. someone ealier mentioned THUGS – we should all get use to the notion that thugs run the world – everywhere. Rule of Law as ‘attempted here in the USA is not the norm around the world and I think we are living in a time where the change that is coming, political, economic and yes – demographic, will result is less the Rule of Law and more the behavior of thugs. We should all take notice of the decline in social behavior. Hopefully, Sean will fully recover, at least physically, he will have to learn to live with the emotional stress such an experience engenders. Good luck to you Sean.

  • celador2

    The media was also supportive and understanding of OWS no matter how abusive or criminal was their activity.

  • celador2

    Media cover for them but have a double standard for conservatives.
    Akin has an aide that used a vile word in a comment yesterday about Sen McCaskill , the Akin Democratic opponent. How do I know? I saw it twice as front page stuff off Yahoo news who partners with ABC. This Akin aide tweet was the lead story with a photo. Words hurt and offend but a vile word now and then is something Democrats are used to having initiated foul remarks on a regular basis. Me thinks Sen McCaskill ‘s shock is contrived. She might leave the kitchen if its too hot.

    This report of election violence against a student and his Romney- Ryan yard sign is local and will not get much beyond Whitewater.

  • gnelson

    Wow, kind of reminds me of the Nazi Brownshirts during Hitler’s reign of terror. We’d better wake up fast or we are screwed!!
