November 12, 200421 yr link High school political debate leads to assault APPLE VALLEY, Minnesota (AP) -- Three high school students, one allegedly armed with a bat, were charged with attacking a pro-President Bush classmate after he reportedly said only gays would support Sen. John Kerry. "It's a good thing to see young people interested and excited about politics," said Dakota County Attorney James Backstrom. "It's obviously very disturbing to see this kind of violence over it." The 17-year-old was assaulted last Thursday in the high school parking lot following a class discussion about the election, authorities said. He was treated for cuts and bruises and released. The alleged assailants have all been charged: one with felony assault -- because he allegedly went to his car to get a bat during the assault, prosecutors said -- one with misdemeanor assault and one with disorderly conduct. Thank goodness we're more civil on this forum! now where'd I leave my brass knuckles.... :shifty

November 12, 200421 yr I am not as lighthearted about this guys... It sets a dangerous precedent. "I disagree with you so you have to go down". Next, we'll see shootings over political ideologies... Retarded :thumbdown I think this is getting to be too much like Latin American politics. Shoot your opponents, before seating down and discussing ideas. :thumbdown
