TAKING DISAGREEING WAAAAAAY TOO FAR!

I might disagree with someone over their political leanings, and I don't mind the opportunity to try to bring a person over to my way of thinking if they are interested in civil conversation, but this fellow in Tampa crossed the line when he followed and harrassed a woman because her vehicle had a Bush/Cheney bumper sticker on it.

There are many ways to express yourself without making a complete idiot of yourself. Get involved with your local political party organization and work from the inside...always the best means of making change. Write letters to the editor and to your elected officials. Attend meetings and other events where you can let your feelings be known. But don't terrorize a woman and her children like that.

He'll likely get some probation with community service hours, and the judge will probably issue a restraining order prohibiting him from coming with a certain distance from his victim. Hopefully, he'll learn from his mistake and focus on getting involved the right way.
