WTF?

I'm actually hoping the "Greens" involved in this fight were Republicans working to hurt Democrats. Because if Greens have turned to violence, then stop the party I want to get off.

"A scuffle broke out Friday between campaign volunteers counting signatures to determine whether the Green Party's candidate for U.S. Senate can appear on the November ballot.

About six people filled out police reports after the minor fight in a state Capitol office building was broken up.

Democrats have challenged the validity of some of the signatures on the Green Party's petition, fearing that its candidate, Carl Romanelli, could siphon votes away from Democrat Bob Casey as he tries to unseat incumbent Republican Sen. Rick Santorum.

The fight broke out early on the fifth day of counting, although witnesses disputed who started it and who broke it up.

Democratic volunteer Alex Hartzler said a Green Party volunteer elbowed a Democratic volunteer, and that another Green Party volunteer threw a punch at a court official, who had moved in to break it up.

Green Party volunteer Charles Sherrouse said the court official was the first to become physical, grabbing another Green Party volunteer to break up the argument. The dispute ended in the hallway outside when Sherrouse and others separated the official and the volunteer, Sherrouse said.

The Green Party is being aided by volunteers who signed in from Santorum's campaign, and the signature counters have been arguing all week, witnesses said. The fight on Friday was the first physical altercation, they said."

Nonviolence is what separates us from the warmongers. If we can't follow through on that, then we don't stand for anything.
