Dahlberg deserves to have a jury of Salim's peers. All army with a few others thrown in for good measure.

Here's the prelude to the story:

Mohamed A. Salim told The Washington Post that Emerald Aviation President Ed Dahlberg attacked him after he picked him up at Country Club of Fairfax in Northern Virginia at around 2 a.m. on Friday. Dahlberg had been drinking and was told that he would have to finish his open beer before getting into the cab.


Let's see. At 2 AM. No doubt when the bar closed and he was told to leave. Likely he was unhappy about that. And that he had to finish his drink before getting into the cab as many states have tough open container laws that don't let the driver off the hook.

Two things show this guy was in trouble, looking for trouble, and it's very fortunate for his bigoted ass Salim just recorded him and didn't act in the way a war trained veteran could.

I think we have a winner for the teabagger moran of the year awards. Please let him go to jail, although it's unlikely in Virginia, they let all the GOP and baggers do whatever they want to do there...

The is humorous, maddening, depressing and spooky all at the same time. People with money, acting like thugs.

shame on people who do things like this. uppityperson May 2013 #1
