Stark Taken into Custody at Weyers Cave Event

I got a chance today to interview Mike Stark at the Weyers Cave Airport "Barnstorming Tour By Senator Allen". He really should have taken the time to speak with me again, in a follow on interview after Allen's Speech. Unfortunately, it seems his previous tactic of forcefully attempting to question Senator Allen didn't meet with the results he desired.
I will get an up date to this as soon as I can get all my photos of the event worked up. Wow, Star power conservatives on hand, like Senator"Thumpin Daschle" Thune! Mr Stark was involved in an earlier incident in Charlottesville, VA when he attempted to push his way through to Senator Allen to ask questions, that supposedly, the MSM will not ask.

Update some stills of today's event:
(In the Crowd)
(The Hit)
video, as they say, at 11...
These shots are taken from a video camera, the rest of which will be up shortly. Today shouldn't have happened like it ultimately did. Senator Allen was flying into the Valley on a GOTV tour, and again he unfortunately had Mike Stark in attendance looking for his chance to "ask the questions" that the MSM will not ask, so he thinks its his mission to "get at" the Senator.
I was at a similar event this past year when Wayne LaPierre flew in with Jerry Kilgore, at Weyers Cave Airport, and nothing out of the ordinary happened. Wayne gave a speech, we cheered, Jerry gave a speech, we cheered, they got on the plane and headed south, and the rest of that campaign is history.
The reason nothing out of the ordinary happened quite frankly is that no one was taking it upon themselves to "get at" Jerry Kilgore....
As a fellow Marine, I feel for Mike Stark. I know we can get all worked up about things, but Mike should really start some kind of "Marines for Webb" or something, and not... well, you see what I mean...

STD, with alot of help from the Staunton/Augusta County Grass roots Pub types wish we held a candle to UCV!!
UCV is without a doubt the best grassroots Bloggers in VA...
but Thanks for the comment.. gives us hope we can join the big leagues some day :-)
But if you slo-mo through the last videos and listen to your friends yelp, it's clear that I never touched him - that my hand never left my side and that he leaped from behind me.
Semper fi. I appreciate you having my back. Please do the honorable thing and don't take this video down.
Best,
Mike
Stark has been very rude and is practicing a kind of politics that I detest, but it sure looks like some Allen supporter recognized him from the news and decided to make something up. I seriously hope that this faker is not an Allen staffer. Because he just got caught on video with evidence that he filed a false police report. Which is a serious crime that Allen does not need around his campaign's neck right now.
Not that it will matter much either way. Allen is eerily replaying the part of Mary Sue Terry from an election from long ago and it's not looking like he has much of a chance on Tuesday regardless of whether this whole story goes away. The good news is that we get a supporter of the 2nd amendment either way and the bonus of a bill to allow us 2nd amendment rights in national parks if Webb wins.
Mike by your own admission you were doing an end run, found a hole and knocked that guy down.
It's time to put this "style" of political confrontation to rest...
Let's get together for a beer and talk about it. I am sure we can find a way together to support our fellow Marines in the "War on Terror", and find some political middle ground..
You should have been there,and you'd understand what transpired... Because of the camera moving, you really don't get a clear view of Mike "Kinda running off tackle", heading for Senator Allen...
It's probably a good thing for Mike that the guy went down, because he (Mike) "checked" himself, (slowed), and when the Deputies realized what had happened... stepped in.
No one, wanted this to happen... It's a campaign event, where a candidate gives a speech....
Come down to Va Beach and try your "oops, just trying to get through" tactics with me and see how far you get.
Am I threatening you? No. Hell, I am not a real big Allen fan. What I AM saying is, I think too many people have been too gentle with you out of some sort of fear that I don't have.
You push people around and you are a bully. In short, you are an a##-hole. Your problem is, I am a bigger one. Hope we meet and you try to pull that crap on me. :-)
Try beating up on someone our own size and age.
Have a nice day.
Maybe you can go back and try to practice in NY.
Virginia can do better than have tools like you in our justice system.
