I found his FB page and man this person is enthralled with all the attention! I think I might have read somewhere he wants fame so he keeps fanning the "flames" to keep things going. The other's comments on his posts I just shake my head at....as they seem equally as (I can't even think of a descriptive word) as he is. How did folks get so engrained with their political stances??? I remember the times one didn't even know how their friends and families voted, not did they care. To obcess on one person so heavily even after they're not in the lime-light puzzles me. DJT is two years out of office and someone else has filled that spot. I, for one, am just over it with ALL of the political crap. I'd say stop watching the msm and get a hobby!!

But Ed wasn't "doing" anything. He wasn't being violent, he didn't threaten to harm anyone. He was exercising HIS right to free speech. Loudly. Obnoxiously. But that's all it was. He didn't try to peek in the woman's house, he didn't even get out of his golf cart. He didn't trespass on her property, he didn't use a bullhorn to disturb the peace in the middle of the night. 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.

They abducted his "goat", or his "goad"?

He harassed her, in person, at her local rec center, then followed her home...

You have no "right" to do that... We have anti-stalking laws for a reason...

He parked in front of her house, the police came and told him to leave. He left.

Hours later, she called the police AGAIN and complained that he had returned to harass her a second time.

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.

Can you please cite a link that states he didn't do these things? Everything I read says he did... Thanks!

You seem to have the timeline confused...

Ed could probably use some anger management classes he’s getting a little more in tense, but what normal adult goes around wearing a T Shirt and I quote from newspaper the Presidents name and the word sucks, I don’t care which President or whoever if you put something like that on your looking for trouble and if I offended anyone by using that word I’m sorry but that came from paper

So if as claimed, the second visit triggered the restraining order, and there is evidence that he did not show up a second time at the VICTIM'S house, I would presume that even a brand new criminal attorney would be able to present the evidence in court making the restraining order request moot based upon a supposedly "non event". So please present proof of this claim that the VICTIM lied to the police, which could actually trigger legal action against the VICTIM for filing a false report.

I suspect that once again we'll not see that evidence presented to support, what will then become, another unsubstantiated claim.

Finally, I find it ironic that the arrested individual claims a first amendment right to free speech, yet is attempting to squelch the free speech of someone who opposes his views.

Pretty obvious the old boy has never been behind the woodshed. It actually will cure a bad attitude and his needs an adjustment of monumental proportions. I was trying to help him while he was parked at Morse and 466-A one day. I rolled down the window and told him he was numero uno

I've said this about a lot of the judges around here that they have little understanding of human nature, and what is required is not restraining orders or jail time but compassion and required time in a psychological Ward and or required weekly visits with psychiatrists and psychologists, as well as getting family involved. I shudder to think how many people are jailed over relatively minor incidence like stealing milk from supermarkets or breaking down over the stress of life when it would be better just to help these people

It’s amazing how people can twist and contort their values to defend someone who is clearly in the wrong simply because they agree politically.

All too many people thrive on hate/anger, many public officials know it and take every opportunity - to throw gas on that stoked fire of hate and anger. For a whole lot of people it doesn't seem to even matter, if there is any truth in that gas can.

I believe you are correct.
