Katherine Harris's Car Trouble
Cops: Florida man tried to run down controversial Republican
OCTOBER 27--A Florida man has been charged with attempting to run over controversial Republican congresswoman Katherine Harris with his Cadillac. According to the below Sarasota Police Department report, Barry Seltzer, 46, told cops that he was simply exercising his "political expression" when he drove his car at Harris and several supporters, who were campaigning last night at a Sarasota intersection. Seltzer--pictured at right in a booking photo--allegedly drove up on a sidewalk and headed directly for Harris before swerving "at the last minute." Harris told officers that "she was afraid for her life and could not move as the vehicle approached her," according to the report. For his part, Seltzer--who's a registered Democrat--told cops, "I intimidated them with the car. They were standing in the street." He added, "I did not run them down, I scared them a little!" That explanation did not stop investigators from arresting Seltzer for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, a felony. Harris, Florida's former secretary of state, is best known for her role in the aftermath of the state's disastrous 2000 presidential election.

Typical N8 - you don't have a clue do you?
In order to be a "Convict", he would have to be convicted of a crime. Right now he is only charged... so as ususal you've stretched the truth.

Granted i hope they get this guy some help and keep him out of the booths on the 2nd.

BTW - How is Bush Buddy Ken Lay doing these days...

West Boynton man allegedly threatens to kill girlfriend for backing Kerry



By Akilah Johnson
Staff Writer

October 28, 2004

WEST BOYNTON -- When an 18-year-old couldn't convince his girlfriend that George W. Bush was the right choice for president, he became enraged, put a screwdriver to her throat and threatened to kill her, sheriff's officials said.

"You won't live to see the next election," Steven Soper told Stacey Silveira on Tuesday night as the two fought inside his gray, two-story home west of Boynton Beach, according to a police report.

Palm Beach County Circuit Court Judge William Bollinger ordered Wednesday that Soper be held without bond in the Palm Beach County Jail pending a mental health assessment.

His next court date is Friday.

According to Silveira, Tuesday night was not the first time the two had discussed politics, but it was the first time Soper became aware she supported John Kerry for president. Before that, she was undecided and considered voting for Bush to appease Soper, she said.

Their on-again, off-again relationship had been volatile, but nothing like Tuesday, she said.

On Tuesday, Soper stormed off after Silveira's brother mentioned the family, including Silveira, supported Kerry, family members said.

Soper called and ended the relationship, so Silveira drove to his house in the 7500 block of Oakboro Drive to return his belongings. That's where things turned violent.

He dragged Silveira into the house kicking and screaming, a police report said. Neighbor Lisa Belout was watching television, heard the commotion and called 911.

Inside, Soper threw Silveira to the floor, spit in her face and bit her cheek, she said, pointing to the brown bruise on the left side of her face.

"He went and got a knife and put the knife in my hand and said, `Kill me because if you vote for Kerry I'm going to die anyway,'" she said while standing outside her home, which has a Kerry/Edwards campaign sign in the yard.

Deputies found an enraged Soper with a screwdriver to Silveira's throat, a police report said. He was ordered to put the tool down but refused, so they used Taser stun guns to subdue him, officials said.

"He shoved a Marine [video] tape in my face and said that's what I was going to be ruining for him if I went for Kerry," Silveira said Wednesday, having just returned from filing a restraining order against him.

Soper enlisted in the Marine Corps on Saturday and was to begin basic training in January.

"He's got a brother in Iraq. My entire family comes from the military, and he would very much like to go do his service," said Diane Carmada, his mother.

Soper faces charges of aggravated battery, false imprisonment and resisting arrest without violence.

Soper likely will be discharged from the Marines, Marine spokesman Sgt. David Salazar said.

Doesn't sound much like voter intimidation as much as some crazy dude trying to run down Skeletor for He Man.

Now what Rob posted does.
