Fredonia Man Cited for Grabbing Anti-Obama Vendor by the Neck
The 50-year-old man, offended by an anti-Obama stand in Port Washington, reportedly attacked one of the stand's purveyors.
Things turned a bit ugly Thursday at a stand in Port Washington featuring anti-Barack Obama materials after a passer-by took issue with the stand's posters.
In fact, the 50-year-old Fredonia man was so offended that he stopped his car and confronted the subjects at the stand, grabbing one of them by the neck, according to the police report.
The stand in the 1000 block of North Wisconsin Street had some large signs reading "Impeach Obama" with images of the president sporting a "Hitler mustache," police said.
