A non-DU thread about DU-like behavior.
A state employee would drive by Scott Walker's private home in Wauwatosa every day after work to honk his horn, shout stuff and flip the bird. Troopers who watch the house decided to find out what the deal was and issued a ticket for unnecessary blowing of horn.

Rather than simply paying the ticket, Brodhead demanded a bench trial.
An assistant district attorney tried to cut a deal in which the Walker protester would get off with just a parking citation, but he rejected it.
On Thursday, Brodhead got the trial - but not the verdict - he was seeking.
Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Mary Kuhnmuench found that there was no precedent for horn-honking being constitutionally protected political speech. Brodhead, who represented himself, was fined $166.20.
"She said I was my own worst enemy," he said later. Still incredulous at the verdict, he said, "So you can honk at high-schoolers who want to wash your car, but not for this?"
Now you may think that is not very DUmmie like behavior but this last bit pushes it to 11 in teh crazy.
The ticket hasn't stopped Brodhead's one-man Walker protest.
During the workweek, he leaves his downtown office around 5 p.m., drives by the governor's residence near the corner of N. 68th St. and W. Blue Mound Road, offers a one-finger salute and bellows his support of the Walker recall effort.
Only now he doesn't blow his horn.
On weekends, he either bikes or runs by the Walker abode and does the same. He lives some 20 blocks away.
Keep in mind Scott is in Madison when this is going on so this crazy person is heckling an empty house most days. :mental:
-
Coward. If he had a pair he would have pulled in, rung the doorbell and spoke his mind right to the man's face.
-
Psycho. Like most liberals. Some wiring malfunction in the brain. This one seems dangerous.

Since it's Wisconsin and justice was served, I'm assuming the honker was a honkee.
