Anti-Gay GOP Candidate In Standoff With Police
(Pompano Beach, Florida) A man who lost his bid for state representative and his campaign manager are in police custody following a nine-hour standoff with police.

Ed Heeney, 50, and Frank Crimi, 49 had barricaded themselves in a Pompano apartment after Broward County sheriff's deputies attempted to serve an eviction order.

Heeney ran on an anti-gay ticket, campaigning against gay marriage, adoption, and the inclusion of gays in hate crimes laws. He had never held state office before and failed to get the nomination of the Republican Party. He was defeated Nov. 2 by incumbent Susan Bucher.

9. Ha! Did you read about the campaign manager?
"Crimi was tried in 1999 on charges that he shot off the middle finger of a police officer in Fort Lauderdale. A jury convicted him in the case, but several months later a judge ruled he should get a new trial because of a jury selection error.

A lawyer who represented Crimi in that case said his ex-client had been found incompetent to stand trial."

Yeah, that's who I would choose as my campaign manager! Is he incompetent because of mental illness or is he mentally challenged?

:eyes:
