How do we know WTF he did and didn't do when he pulled people over?

[PCIntern]

Are we going to take his word for it that it was a joke or harmless prank...which it wasn't? Or maybe he performed strip-searches or worse...who would know? This was a long time ago and when women complained about weirdness, they were largely ignored by TPTB, particularly if it potentially involved a moneyed or connected person. This should be fully investigated and researched, and I would bet ten thousand dollars that he bragged about doing something grotesque - he's a real creepazoid.

1. Good point

Years go by before some serial killers are caught.

Years have gone by before Rmoney's weird hobby came to light. Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of Rmoney?

2. This is really scary psycho stuff. This just makes me frighten of him getting into office.

[L. Coyote]

30. Unless, of course, he was just doing his job

dancing at bachelorette parties

[polichick]

3. This stuff will gain him a few points among Republicans...

They love sociopaths.

[Shankapotomus]

4. Sounds like an authoritarian complex

Probably induced by his Mormon upbringing convincing him it's alright for him to impersonate a police officer because he is morally superior.

[raccoon]

5. Off to greatest with you! nt

[Cobalt Violet]

6. Holding someone against their will is kidnapping last I checked.

But you're right. WTF else did he do to get his jollies. I does need to be investigated.

7. Kick nt

8. Very Little Return Here...

Yet another story showing something we've all known...Mittens was a spoiled brat and an asshole. This is great stuff...more ammo for those who hate this liar and opportunist but does little for those looking for a reason to vote against him. Those on the right...no matter how hypocritical they were during the primaries are now lined up behind their "Great White Hope"...not cause they like him, just they can't stand the colored fella. This gains little traction with the "moderates" as well as those who believe in the "both sides do it" crap just see this as more political piling on...it's Rmoney's current not his past that they're voting on...

9. Just ask him. I'm sure he'll be honest about it.

[Hubert Flottz]

13. "Honest" and republican don't even belong in the same

solar system.

[HopeHoops]

16. I trust you noticed the ":sarcasm:" smiley.

[Hubert Flottz]

17. Yes I did...

I was just stating a fact that popped into my tortured old mind.

[HopeHoops]

18. Oh, I totally agree. That's why it was sarcasm.

[Garion_55]

10. right wingers wont care

just harmless pranks!

[Hubert Flottz]

19. It's always "harmless pranks" when a republican does them, but

if a democrat does the same thing, he of she should be thrown in jail for life, without mercy.

[secondwind]

11. A friend of mine knows the ins and outs of Ann Romney, because of her political connections

as an ex-lobbyist. She told me yesterday that Ann Romney DID NOT WANT HIM TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT.

She is a sick woman, and MS is aggravated by over-exertions, etc. And he still wants to run. This is a very selfish, self-centered person who only thinks of himself.

[Hubert Flottz]

12. Probably the only way he could get a girl to speak to him.

Unless he showed them Daddy's offshore bank statement.

[Octafish]

14. I'll bet you $10,000 you are correct.

Unfortunately, spoiled psycho crony capitalist nutjobs are just what the Reich needs. Those who won't be their toady or victim, I fear, will increasingly be "pulled over."

[rurallib]

15. When I get stopped by a highway patrol, it becomes a tense time for me

I don't know about others, but getting pulled over ain't fun.
I assume the officer has a gun and any odd movement on my part should result in bad things happening.
So when I hear of some jerk doing shit like this it really makes me mad.
Plus, if I were a cop, I would be really mad. Impersonators erode the trust that people do have in the police.

Not funny, Weird Willard, not funny at all.

[Hubert Flottz]

21. "it becomes a tense time for me"

America feels more like Nazi Germany every day.

[lapislzi]

28. The police are not your friends, never were.

While they may not be your enemies, either, never try to second-guess the motives or actions of a police officer.

Speak as little as possible. Be polite. Just get through the encounter and go on your way.

And that is coming from me, a person very unlikely to be the object of profiling. I cannot imagine how tense it is for profiled groups. It must be close to unbearable.

[KurtNYC]

20. At the very least we have the story of him leaving 2 girls in a car with beer

Romney and their fake dates conspired to have Romney pull them all over and then the boys left with Romney in his fake police car.

What I haven't read on that story is who were the girls? why did Romney pick them for his "prank"? did they have the keys to the car or were they to find their own way home ? etc.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

27. Sounds to me like the guys didn't think this gag all the way through.

"Ha-ha! The girls thought you were a real cop!"

"Waitaminit... now we don't have dates or beer."

[MrMickeysMom]

22. Wait... wasn't this a screenplay for a boom-chick-a-rarrrrer type movie?

Romney "film-staring" role (insert favorite John Holmes type here... sorry for the pun) who swings one of his legs over his Harley with ticket in hand. Square jawed Romney character in uniform, stopping rural young women from late 60's and 70's (liberated, of course, insert some "film-star" with first name, "Amber"...)

What a portfolio!

[CBGLuthier]

23. Unless he was delivering stripograms I think he broke the law.

Well, the real law which of course does not apply to the elite.

[Baitball Blogger]

24. True. Maybe now he's trying to impersonate a President.

[Javaman]

25. yeah, I'm sure mitten's the sociopath was just having a little "fun". nt

[magical thyme]

26. calling it "weirdness" or "creepy" depletes the reality that it was both criminal and cruel

1. It is illegal to impersonate a cop, period.

2. He had zero idea what their lives are and what kind of head trip he may be pulling on them. Zero idea as to the level of fear he was potentially instilling for his own laughs and giggles.

3. He also had zero idea where they were headed...causing an unnecessary delay to reach an emergency room?

Vile, vile person. This does need to be investigated.

[rocktivity]

29. And even if he IS lying about the whole thing

-- if he made it all up to make himself look good -- why in the world would you make up THAT kind of a lie? It's even creepier than Bush's "Mission Accomplished" lie!

[rhett o rick]

31. Well I am sure it is all quite innocent. I am sure he handed out lollipops and bade them

a good day.

[coalition_unwilling]

32. I'm guessing that impersonating a law officer is and was a serious felony. Now it

may be that the statute of limitations on that offense has expired by now. But, even so, this allegation when added to the animal cruelty and bullying allegations paints a disturbing portrait of someone who is manifestly unfit to serve and who will normalize cruelty.

'Creepazoid' is right.

[Spirochete]

33. "Stanley, that car is following awfully close

it has a dog and a flashing light on top, Should we pull over, or speed up?"
