Following yesterday's well-documented physical takedown of Mike Stark, a blogger who confronted Virginia Senator George Allen at a campaign event, Stark has promised to press charges against Allen and his staffers:
“George Allen, at any time, could have stopped the fray. All he had to do was say, ‘This is not how my campaign is run. Take your hands off that man.' He could have ignored my questions. Instead he and his thugs chose violence. I spent four years in the Marine Corps. I'll be damned if I'll let my country be taken from me by thugs that are afraid of taking responsibility for themselves. It just isn't the America I know and love. Somebody needs to take a stand against those that would bully and intimidate their fellow citizens.”
