Unhinged MoveOn.org Choker Admits He Needs Better Self-Control

He should be locked up. Maybe then he’d learn some control.
MoveOn.org goon Fred Highton had heard enough.
He didn’t want to discuss the issues with conservative Jesse Kelly supporter James Massee…
So he choked him.
Jesse Kelly supporter James Massee was exercising his 1st Amendment rights when a Gabrielle Giffords supporter came up and choked him.
Now, Highton admits he needs better self-control.
The Daily Caller reported:
MoveOn and Republicorps member Fred Highton says he regrets initiating a physical altercation with a conservative Tea Partier at a political event at the University of Arizona earlier this month.
“If I’m going to take part in these political events, I need to learn some self-control,” Highton said.
Conservative James Massee released video of Highton grabbing his throat and face after the face-stomping video from a Kentucky rally for Republican Rand Paul.
“I released it just to show there are some lefties who could be violent too,” Massee said.
Massee said he approached Highton while he was giving a theatrical performance of how MoveOn thinks Republicans treat the working and middle classes to voice his opinion at which point he said Highton started choking him. Massee said he then found a nearby police officer to take control of the situation instead of hitting Highton back. Massee chose not to press charges and plans to stick with that decision now even though he has gone public with his story.

The left is all about the hate and rage. They have zero self control and zero means to debate their pathetic views of America. Their minds are closed and their vile defines their pitiful existence.

Gee, ya think?

I would have worded that differently.

THAT’S WHAT I WOULD HAVE WORDED DIFFERENTLY…

Show of hands … how many would have learned him some?
Andreas K. commented:
Self control?
He needs to be tazered.

While under arrest for first-degree assault with intent, Mr. Highton should be making his statements from a hospital bed – if actually able to communicate in any manner.
Mr. Massee, although you are completely within your God-given Rights to do so, you’re not living up to your end of freedom’s bargain.
Your assailant – and that’s exactly what Mr. Highton is – Your assailant needs to be shown that our justice system does indeed work when applied fairly.

I’m not saying I’m a bada$$ or anything like it, but had he tried that with me I would have tried my damnedest to see that he couldn’t feed himself for the next several months.
These slimy pos have gotten away with way too many of these stunts during the last couple of years. It’s time for it to cease and desist.

This is very familiar behavior of a segment of the Left, have been at the receiving end of it twice in the past two years, different people – men actually, roughly the same age bracket as that guy, one a local Democrat active in local campaigns, the other a teacher. Wanna see how that EXACT sort of thing looks played out in front of a class of second graders? Pathetic. As a Conservative, I am NOT going to have a knock-down dragout in front of a group of terrified kids even if the Lib started it. Outside, fine, let’s have at it. But the mask is stripped off, the nasty underneath exposed.
It’s very striking, these guys are the epitome of reasonable, passive PC, but they get physically hostile the second they run out of the narrative, or get caught out in what was just discovered to be lies. It is literally, “SHUT UP!!”
Starting to think they’ve been emotionally neutered trying to conform to the Left, but are allowed ONE approved outlet for their pent-up anger: the scapegoat, Conservatives, Republicans
Leftie women freeze when their rhetoric is challenged, then they run off to slither around to undermine and stab you in the back.
First time, one is surprised, like this fellow was, you’re stunned, it’s unbelieveable someone would snap like that for nothing, but second time, no margin, get the cops and make sure they get a police record started on them.

It would appear that this thug happened to choke the right guy. Many other would have beaten the living hell out of him.
Alex commented:
Well this liberal swine is quite lucky that it wasn’t me he grabed by the neck. It would habe been his first day of a 6 week recouperation for having a broken jaw.
Valerie commented:
Fred Highton, well done. You have exacted an appropriate punishment, by exposing this man as an intemperate fool.
Guys, he can do that because he’s a reasonably big man, and was able to withstand the assault. Had that jerk grabbed me, I’d be suing because I’d have hospital bills.
There is an array of appropriate responses to political misconduct, and we should use the entire range.
Stuart commented:
This is an example of the Chicago way. It used to be mostly confined to Chicago. I grew up around people like Mr. Giffords.
Thinking of voting Republican? The fire marshall will be paying you a visit to condemn your house because of code violations. Make too much noise about it? Well accidents can happen. Your fire trap may actually… well… catch fire.
What is truly frightening to me is that these methods are now going national.

The choker has both hands engaged, the chokee has both hands free…..Free to be very busy. But then why walk into such a situation?
