Arrest over Cheney barb triggers lawsuit
Rocky Mountain News
Excerpt:
Attorney David Lane said that on June 16, Steve Howards was walking his 7-year-old son to a piano practice, when he saw Cheney surrounded by a group of people in an outdoor mall area, shaking hands and posing for pictures with several people.
According to the lawsuit filed at U.S. District Court in Denver, Howards and his son walked to about two-to-three feet from where Cheney was standing, and said to the vice president, “I think your policies in Iraq are reprehensible,” or words to that effect, then walked on.
Ten minutes later, according to Howards’ lawsuit, he and his son were walking back through the same area, when they were approached by Secret Service agent Virgil D. “Gus” Reichle Jr., who asked Howards if he had “assaulted” the vice president. Howards denied doing so, but was nonetheless placed in handcuffs and taken to the Eagle County Jail.
H.L.s Take:
How dare you hurt Dick Cheneys feelings like that. Its not allowed you know. Cheney probably went home and cried for an hour after that “Assault”

That’s some pretty crappy secret service to let some stranger walk within spitting distance of the VP. Are all Dick Cheney’s people fat, unattentive and out of shape?

Here’s a news flash for you. It is 4th degree assault if you flip someone off. Bet ya didn’t know that. Now in some states if you are in a car it is road rage. I would like to see someone that isn’t cleared to get 2 to 3 feet away from the V.P. he would have been more than talked to.
