Or perhaps I should say, "Less of this one, please." Or how about just, "None of them. Ever again. Please....For the Love of God." Sunshine State Poll: Grayson In Trouble The latest Sunshine State/VSS poll shows controversial Democratic incumbent Alan Grayson trailing former state Senator Dan Webster by seven points, 43 percent to 36 percent. A majority of respondents -- 51 percent -- disapprove of the job that Grayson is doing. Independents have an unfavorable view of him as well, by a 36/47 margin. Grayson has ignored the conventional wisdom that a freshman should be a quiet member who carefully tends to the home fires. The latest controversy involves his " Taliban Dan " advertisement, where he explicitly compares his opponent to the Taliban, and shows a clip of Webster paraphrasing Ephesians 5:22 -- "wives, submit to your husbands." An unedited version of the clip shows that Webster was actually suggesting that husba...

Fists, Wilmington, 1992.
No arrest in the former, charges in the later.
YMMV
for NOTHING but their entertainment, was unbelieveable at best. I guess it was a long winter for them without tourists to pick on. I will never EVER forget Whitman's face (or his fat partner) and I will never forget that evening. It was surreal. So when I look at this video, it makes me sick. I guess if I had not cooperated, I could have been kicked in the head as well. It matters not what this guy said prior to the video. He did cooperate to start, but repeatedly shocking the hell out of someone and then kicking them in the head would certainly only exacerbate a tense situation. A sound person (let along cop) would/should know that! Whitman needs to go. He is not a public servant...he and others seem to be self servants for their little man insecurities and power needs. Watch your back in RB. Its not the crooks its the cops you need to be aware of.
I was arrested on made up charges and put into solitary confinement for a day and a half in the Sussex county men’s jail. I had never had an encounter with the police in my entire life nor have I ever been in a jail, not even to visit someone. They kept me in there and did not let me use a real phone to make a call until I was transferred to the state woman’s prison in Wilmington! Throughout the entire process I was harassed by guards and some guy on a TV screen they called a “judge”. The whole thing was very disturbing and some of the prison guards were so scary that the strip search pales in comparison. For the first time in my life I was happy that I was old and fat. I shudder to think what could have happened if I wasn’t. I was not allowed to use a real phone just one that supposedly made collect calls, but none of the calls I made ever went through to my family. I felt like I was living a Lifetime movie! This stuff just doesn’t happen to normal people, or so I thought.
I could go on about many other things about that experience but the most important fact was that I did not get released until almost midnight Tuesday. My family paid the bail on Monday shortly after noon as they had to drive down from PA and I didn’t get to make a real phone call until Monday mid morning. Guess I should count myself lucky that I wasn’t beat up. Still I can’t help but feel guilty. Afterwards I paid a backward southern lawyer to make the arrest go away and didn’t pursue these sick bastards. The whole thing still haunts me as I feel I should have tried to do more. I didn’t have a video or any evidence except my word and clean record. As a professional I can’t afford a police record but I would be willing to talk to officials if they wanted to listen. I also have not been back to Rehoboth, a place I have loved to go to for years, most often off season on the weekends. I miss the friends I have made down there, and the beach, but like the previous poster stated, it just isn’t worth it. I could only guess that the locals support this joke of a police department thinking they are making their community safe from “scumbags”. Funny thing is the only ‘scumbags‘ I have met in Rehoboth were the cops. Even most of the prisoners were really nice just like most of the people who live down there.
If anyone has information on someone who wants to fix this and needs information please post the contact information. You maybe surprised (or not) at the responses you get.

I realize this is a year later, but just in case anyone is still reading this... My boyfriend and I are planning on suing everyone possible because of what Whitman did to him. I am the farthest things from litigious, but we can't allow this type of behavior to continue. I don't want to get into any details (at this point), but I'm looking for any help you could offer. We live in Baltimore and could use lawyer suggestions, and any stories/personal experiences pertaining to Whitman. If there is anything you can do to help me, I'd really appreciate it. Post, and we'll connect. Thanks!
