WI man cited with tearing Walker recall signs

Western Wisconsin volunteers collecting signatures for the effort to recall Gov. Scott Walker have allegedly again been met by aggressive opponents.

On Monday, a group of volunteers in Hudson said they were approached by a man who knocked over and tore their signs before urging a member of the group to "take a swing" at him, according to a police report.

Hudson police cited Donald Rindo, 51, of Hudson with disorderly conduct and destruction of property.

Reached by phone Tuesday, Rindo declined to elaborate on the accusations.

"I'm terribly upset that they would smear my name like that," he said. "I'm not going to smear their name and say anything about what they did or did not do."

We don't know if the allegations are necessarily true since he denied it. If it's true though, then sad.

Dear Herman 11,

Do you realize how difficult it is in our new system to get banned with only 4 posts?

With the jury referral back to MIR system it is almost impossible to get banned in less than 12 posts unless you have been heavily drinking.

Hint 1; refrain coming to the defense of a pro Walker idiot.

Hint 2; when you come back next time don't use 'herman 12'.

Obviously you have absolutely no productive life whatsoever so best wishes in the abysmal boring mash of existence you call your life.

With complete disdain,

grantcart

We had a good mix of thumbs-up and flipping off. We also had one guy get out and give us shit. I have recorded on my phone. Much less dramatic, but got my heart rate up for a bit.

Classy.

Don't be a liar, Donald Rindo. Admit what you've done. You're already famous, you know.
