ACORN Brownshirts Strike In NY

The ongoing Senate circus in Albany is pure farce at its most absurd, but at one point this week, things turned downright ugly.

On Thursday, some 150 protestors—many of them from the thuggish far-left group ACORN—turned up outside the Senate chamber and actually assaulted members of the Republican faction.

The demonstrators nearly knocked to the floor Sen. James Alesi (of upstate Monroe County); they also spat in the face of his chief of staff, according to published reports.

Not only was this violence uncalled for, the ACORN crowd shouldn’t even have been there in the first place: The Senate lobby is a restricted area, and public protests are explicitly prohibited.

Sen. George Winner (R-Elmira) accused Senate Secretary Angelo Aponte—the Malcolm Smith ally who earlier had locked the entire Senate out of the chambers—of having “clearly sanctioned” the riot.

Violence from ACORN hardly surprises: It has a history, dating to the ‘80s, of engaging in trespassing, illegal seizure of private property, physical harassment, intimidation and outright extortion.

Those tactics, along with its notorious, fraud-tainted “voter registration” efforts, have been bolstered not only with millions in union cash, but also with $53 million in direct federal aid since 1994.

Personally, I think ACORN members ought to be arrested on sight. They have more than proved themselves to be members of some kind of subversive group, and now they are adding violence to their repertoire.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
