What does he let them win
The women wears her shirt ……so he harasses her, follows her home and some how you come up with “he is letting them win”
He has harassed hundreds of people over the last 5 yrs and you some how want to come up with “he letting them win”…..I really like to know what you mean by that.

He just parked on the street in his golf cart-of-signs. The judge awarded the woman a restraining order against him - for exercising HIS right to free speech.

Oh lord give me a break.
There is Free speech and there is Hate speech
He does Hate speech
So if a guy followed you home and kept coming back to your home and your a woman…..you would be perfectly okay with that……I truly don’t think so.
People like you are are the problem……to say this is about his freedom of speech, when it has nothing to do with it at all.

[Galmarini]

Ed's behavior is the problem in our country.

In college I had a minor in psychology. I remember the profs introduction to his course in ABNORMAL psychology. You will see all of these traits in yourself and wonder. The definition of abnormal is when you loose control of it and it causes harm to yourself and others. That guy Ed parked his golf cart with obscene anti Trump signs on his golf cart, in Spanish Springs for months.

There are people still posting their support of him and too many others lost in hate. Conversations, without name calling, and implied how can you be so stupid at to ...........
are rampant.

My view, we are coming to Thanksgiving. The history is interesting. Our country was torn apart by the Civil War. One major issue still argued about is states rights vs federal government. In a brilliant political act of wisdom, Lincoln made Thanksgiving a national holiday. I assume for many there will be political arguments at the table. Hopefully some will realize we have far more common goals than differences. We are where we are because we have been manipulated. It does not take much to do this. I ask all to ask themselves have they been manipulated to believe we are good and they are evil.
May all, at least some face where we are and how we got here.

This man has said, with his own mouth, that he wants to be famous because of his political stance. S-C-A-R-E-Y.

i hope for all our sakes that never happens, but i also thought the same thing. when ben carson makes his appearance, they will need lots of security

Except - this time - this second time - never happened. He has proof that he was never there a second time. So it sounds to me like SHE was doing the harassing the second time around by filing a false complaint against him.

She got the judge to award her a restraining order against him for something that didn't happen.

Then - he violated that restraining order, which was for something that didn't happen, by parking his golf cart within 30 feet of her golf cart, and entering the Hadley pool, where she was.

He shouldn't have done that. It was a stupid thing to do. But - he also shouldn't have had a restraining order against him for something he didn't do.

Political bias is clear. A restraining order is a judge saying, if you do not have the sense to stay away form that person I need to think for you. Something he didn't do. If that is so he had the good sense to honor the restraining order. There is no question that guy Ed has gone beyond normal, whatever normal is.

His behavior is getting worse. He is obsessed with hatred for Trump I'm concerned it may just get worse and he hurts someone.

OBB is ok by me. each of us has our own opinions, & i do my best to respect others' , even if we don't agree. this is what free speech truly is! we CAN do this getting-along thing, without name calling, stalking, or police getting involved. in the old days back @ school we had the debate class. @ the end, opponents shook hands & that was it. class over & time to go hang out with the 'opponent' in the school yard. things have changed so much now, it's kind of sad

Why does what happened to a certain leader awhile ago come to mind?

Is it just me or...........................WOW.

The ONLY....repeat O.N.L.Y reason we are talking about this guy today is is past political views....views that many here disagree with.
I checked Sumter County arrest records and there are 51 other Villagers who have been charged with violating their restraining orders...men and women.
So...is the TOTV going to get a new tab for people who violate restraining orders????
