I was going from Spanish Springs to LSL a few weeks before the last elects and there was a Trump rally going on at the corner of 466 and Morse. Pro Trump people were on the corner of each side of 466 and holding signs and waving as cars went by. Cars would blow their horns and wave back sometimes in disagreement. It was all harmless and everyone seemed to be having a good time.

As I went by the same area on my return trip I noticed two police cars with their lights on on the southeast corner of Morse and 466. I went over to see what was going on and there in the middle of all of the Trump supporters was McGinty and a friend both with their golf carts festooned with vulgar anti Trump signs.

The police were about to arrest him when they finally convinced him to leave.

Now I have to ask, what did he think that he was going to accomplish with this stunt? Did he think that he was going to change anyone's mind or did he just want to start trouble.

I believe that it was the latter. Not only would he like to start a fight but then he would blame it on Trump for being divisive.

I don't care what you political beliefs are but that kind of behavior is unacceptable. In fact, I hate all negativity in political campaigns. How about just telling people why you like your guy for a change.

Ed McGinty has serious mental illness and if it's not addresses, there is going to be a serious problem at some point.
Pretty much sums it up.

Others attending this class or in attendance at the pool have to endure her idiotic political views if they want to enjoy time in or about pool. She certainly has the right to her views, but shoving it down people's throats in a class or a pool environment is ignorant and rude and ruins it for everyone in attendance. I don't know why people feel they have to do this. I really feel sorry for her neighbors who have to look at her stupid political shrine in her garage every day of the week. That's not what the Villages is about - its supposed to be friendly and welcoming. She and her ilk have turned it into a battlefield. We all see people flaunting the rules and putting up political flags with disparaging slogans. The architectural review committee should take a more active stance on banning this stuff. Political signs at one's home during election season are one thing, but having them on view 14 hours/day, 365 days a year are something else. And by the way, she has gotten into shouting matches with neighbors who didn't agree with her views.

Kind of hard to imagine a woman wearing a T shirt and using a swimming pool as being aggressive and shoving a political view down someone's throat. I think I see the correlation of this and those that think that a small, 8" cross on someone's lawn as being aggressive and shoving their religion down someone's throat, or flying a political flag at home.

Like I said before, I drove past that nut case, Eddie boy the other afternoon and saw his clown cart. I just laughed and moved on. He doesn't bother me and he is just a funny distraction from the building traffic on Villages roads. Of course if he ever accosted my wife for her views, he would welcome the police handcuffs rather than what would come thundering down upon him. That said, I do not think his problem is a political view, as much as his just suffering from a low self esteem and lack of respect for others around him. I do believe that he is a powder keg with a lit fuse. It's just a matter of time before he blows up and does something that puts him away for a very long time. Maybe the judge will mandate that he receive some professional help.

Are we to take this post as meaning that the nut job with his clown cart's political views are acceptable and yet this woman's view is "idiotic" and "stupid" (your words)? Sounds pretty close to defending the nut job to me.

Traffic safety
 
Law Enforcement needs to make sure all traffic laws are enforced when Ed or anyone else parks their carts in places that may cause distractions and/or accidents. In my opinion Brandon is great and Ed is obviously in need of help. Some might call him and those that defend him, especially the lawyer wannabes....wackadoodles.

This is mostly just a personal feud over a couple of people's use of a Villages' pool which got way out of hand.

I hope the judge can sort it out and that he/she has some wisdom. Maybe he/she can threaten to cut the pool in half.
It seems to me Ed is the bully.

At times he is. Most of the time he was very active, not so much.

Ed certainly attempts to be a bully. Even tried to bully the judge.

Yeah, stalking a woman is just "people's use of a pool getting out of hand"... :ohdear::ohdear::ohdear:

Hard to believe that there are some people
that will make excuses for Ed’s behavior
given his track record.

Your description reminds me of some folks right here on ToTV. Though not the mentally ill part - I have no way of knowing if those folks are truly mentally ill, or just pretend to be.

Seriously, this ****wit appears in front of my house, stalks my wife, he's got an expiration date. I sorta hate him already but I don't know him.
Alright, i'm just going to come out with it...

Has anyone told this guy that he needs to knock it off?

I know who he is. I've seen him at other events.

ED
 
I posted it earlier. Medical studies indicate 1 in 7 people in his age group have dementia. Most are undiagnosed and untreated. Fits The Villages demographic pretty well.

manaboutown 10-31-2021 09:35 PM
Lock him up! Psych ward or jail, who cares, but lock him up! He is abusive, vile, venomous, despicable, disgusting, dangerous, hateful, libelous, slanderous and much worse.

Ed replies in kind to some of the very hateful things the other side has been throwing out since 2016 or even before.

It is about time for more mature voices I would hope.

Are you really sure that you want to use that criteria, for putting someone in prison? lol

Motion seeks to revoke McGinty’s bond after latest arrest.

You know I love you Tal, we go back a long way. But do you really think this guy is equivalent? Maybe on a relative scale of what we expect from each, but really?

excellent post that sums it up evenly. i'm glad to see you back online-wondered where you went & what became of you, :icon_wink:

Back in the 1940's, when I was a very, very young child and I misbehaved (which was quite often I was told) my mother would grab me and say, "Alright Mr. McGinty, I've had just about enough of that!"

Our last name begins with an M, but it's not even close to McGinty

to this day I have no idea why she referred to me as 'Mr. McGinty' on those occasions

and now, after all these years, a 'Mr. McGinty' is acting up and getting into hot water

just goes to prove, what goes around, comes around

Seems to be an awful lot of hate directed at a fellow Villager when we do not have all the facts about this situation as Ed's lawyer told him to keep quiet.

Police reports and hearings offer a plethora of information...

But sure, keep defending the stalker...

Is it just me or...........................WOW.
Ed is nothing BUT a Villager. Earl Vincent Knight Jr., who lives on the Historic Side of The Villages, continues to be held at the Lake County Jail following his Oct. 21 arrest at his home on the Bristol County, R.I. warrant charging him with second degree child molestation/sexual assault. Details of the alleged crime have been sealed.
While in the Villagers home he video taped his granddaughter nude with hidden camera

Trumpism and friendly police and jail guards have beaten me. I give up. I was arrested yesterday for second time in 30 days. Over parking too close to my opponent’s cart. A lot more to this story. I will share soon. Thank You for your support. But I have to stop. More later. Ed
His lawyer told him to stop.

Gandhi and the Passive Resistance Campaign 1907-1914 | South African History Online

He would probably get in a golf cart and go to an intersection to passively protest against whatever .
