MILWAUKEE - The sons of a first-term congresswoman and Milwaukee's former acting mayor were among five Democratic activists charged Monday with slashing the tires of vans rented by Republicans to drive voters and monitors to the polls on Election Day.

Sowande Omokunde, son of Rep. Gwen Moore, D-Wis., and Michael Pratt, the son of former Milwaukee acting mayor Marvin Pratt, were among those charged with criminal damage to property, a felony that carries a maximum punishment of 3 1/2 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.

The activists are accused of flattening the tires on 25 vehicles rented by the state Republican Party to get out the vote and deliver poll watchers Nov. 2.”

“Did you have to slash Stovie's tires to beat him to this one?”

“lol@tree

Stovie is a little mad at me because I am lumping all conservatives to David Duke..lol

as far as what manuka posted, it doesn't matter whether they are Dems or Rep what they did was wrong plain and simple”

“Treebeard scores a slam dunk on that one! LOL!”

“Yeah, the democrats commit the crimes on election day, and then they complain about the pupblic backlash at the polls to their underhanded tactics.”

“Thank God the Republicans didn't do any thing bad, those folks never do anything wrong.

Is it true they don't have balls?”

“I'm not trying to lump ALL republicans together you understand....that would be foolish.

“Considering the prestigious positions of the kid's parents, they will certainly retain attorneys who are in the up and up with the DAs and eventually get ironed out pleabargains letting them off easy. They'll simply pay for the repair costs, do community service, pay a few fines and be on their way.”

“And maybe get elected as prez in 4 years!!!”

“Buddur, one would hope those tire slashing criminals will be treated just the same as any other tire slashing criminals with similar criminal records. No better, no worse.”

“Maybe those guys worked for Walmart.......alway slashing......always.”
