Chicago Ald Munoz attacks voter in his office, omg

[MaLiz16]

damn munoz kicks ass!!!!!

[fudgeflutes]

this guy doesnt say his name. doesnt say what specific community or organization he represents. doesn't say why Munoz threw him out of his office like that except that he was trying to tell the guy that tif is going to "hurt our families." of course tv didn't take this. there's no back story. for all we know, this dude insulted his mother.

[mvdiaz9]

I would have found this video much more convincing if I had what happened before the incident...it's shady to just include the latter part.

[chicagohouseman]

What Do You Expect From An Ex GangBanger (latin king) He Has Been Arrested In The Past For Gun AND Cocaine Possesion, NOT To Mention Alleged Involvment In The Fake ID Scandal In Which His Father Was Sentenced To 4 Years..Hes Nothing But An OLD PUNK!

[ibew196]

Munoz for the people??? OMG thats a funny one, you should have fallen down those stairs, then sued the hell out of him, hes just a POS, All the problems this guy has been involed in, and he's STILL IN OFFICE, WAKE UP CHICAGO

[tonyparrilli]

Ola, I was looking for the fake ID video - am I in the right place?!

[beatlefan28IF]

and the staris are about 6 to ten feet away from the door he wasnt anywhere near the staris ...trust me i know

[beatlefan28IF]

and munoz still says god bless you

[beatlefan28IF]

AND HE WAS BEING AN ASSHOLE

[beatlefan28IF]

ill tell you what led to this that man ran into ricardo munoz office building and ran up into munoz office(its on the second floor) and started yelling into munozs face and yelling and accuseing munoz

[silentsteve63]

good video fight the fight brother, I truly appreciate you voicing for those that need to be heard. I will tell you the turth if we Americans were like this citizen congress would not get away with under minding WE THE PEOPLE. They freaking work for us not.

[rch1jr]

How professional was that? Yeah Alderman are just regular people, but arent they supposed to be held to a higher standard than regular people

[rch1jr]

No Chicago alderman is for the people

[fudgeflutes]

@rch1jr waguespack is

[darota8szabla]

This is typical. His only agenda is to get as many illegals in the country as he can and then try to "legalize" them with stolen social security numbers. I am glad that he is not the alderman in the 36th ward. go back to Mexico. I am from Poland. It's not perfect but at least it's clean. Mexico is a slum because Mexicans live there.

[Stingray3440]

This joker EVER touched me, I'd shove his stupid ass nose through is face and he would be on the floor in about one second crying for his momma. Ass hole.

[Stryder46]

He looks like Keith Olberman. I would've beat the shit out of him.

[darkknight91]

I'd like to see this guy assault me like this. Stupid looking jerk with the politician hair. He'd be missing a few teeth by the time I was done with him. There's a few cities and states in this country that need to be burned down and start over. Chicago is the one I'd start with.

[brainiacgames]

It amazes me how whenever it's a Democrat politician attacking someone, or a Democrat organization advising people on how to cheat taxes and bring underage prostitutes to the US, it's an "edited video" and the lefty watching it will "hold judgment" until they "see the whole thing".

What, in your mind, could possibly justify an elected rep attacking a constituent?

[Micheleeroo]

Chicago politics is a dirty cesspool. And now we have that in the Whitehouse. Watch out, America!

[LosPaleteros05]

This fool was asked by various stations to show them the entire footage and he refused. Did the alderman kick him out of his office? yes. Was there a very good reason..? Well we don't know because the video was conveniently edited..."He tried to throw me down the stairs"?...really..?

[EpicDude86]

Edited videos are a double edged sword. Sometimes they're edited for the better, and sometimes for the worse. I would like to see what led up to this guy getting THAT mad at him.

[rramosonyx]

It's sad when politicians forget why they are in office. They think they are bigger and better and smarter than the people who voted them in.

[asaldana10]

I cant believe Alderman Munoz let himself lose control. He is a true disappointment and has definitely lost my vote.

[chicagocitizens]

this was sent to me part 2

Apparently there's a "use by" date on reporting assaults by elected officials against their constituents. Or the political machine controls the local broadcast media coverage. Better they should be doing stories on Paris Hilton, right?

[chicagocitizens]

this is a text sent to me... Ald Munoz Manhandles Citizens, Media Don't Care

One week ago I shared this clip with an acquaintance who is a reporter for WLS-7 TV. He was shocked and said he'd share it with his editor. One week later, having seen no coverage, I inquired. "That video is old" was his only response. When I sent it, I believe it had been posted for one week.

[chicamunoz1]

Trying to be clever and cool, Chica was sort of a smart ass. One time in a sophmore English class, Chica was told to turn around by a teacher named Mr. Balto. Chica proceeded to do a complete 360 in his seat and continued his converstation with the person sitting behind him.

[chicamunoz1]

Mr. Balto then proceeded to whack Ricky upside the head causing him to do another unintentional 360 provoking the rest of the class into unrestrained laughter. The was one of many Chicaisms that made Ricky a riot to go to school with.

[chicamunoz1]

On another occasion, Ricky was trying to show off and live up to his self-perpetuated tough guy image by daring one of his classmates to take a free punch at his stomach.

[chicamunoz1]

As stated above, Ricky liked to try and bully some of his classmates. So, this challenge was another attempt to embarrass another. It kind of backfired on Chica because the guy really loaded up and nailed Ricky good, causing him to double over.

[chicamunoz1]

Ricky tried to play it cool and act like he didn't feel a thing but it was well noted that he never tried to bully that other person again.

[ipsofacto9]

Munoz is Daley's whore!

[relster]

I've no love for Chicago politicians but I'd like to see video and/or hear audio from a few minutes prior to the altercation to see what prompted the outburst. Strange they would not post that if they had it. Stranger still if they didn't have it since they brought a video recorder in the first place. This is inexcusable behavior by a public official, but perhaps it might be more understandable if Munoz was being provoked.

[hitanykey]

I've no love for rapists but I'd to see how short the woman's skirt was prior to the rape to see what prompted the rape. Strange jurors can't see the clothing she wore right before the incident, she was wearing. Rape is inexcusable but perhaps it might be more understandable if the rapist was being provoked.

[theoracledelphi]

Right after Munoz releases his hands from this citizen, he continues to step forward and raises his hand toward him. This is the point where Munoz should have been subdued until the Police got there to arrest him.

[theoracledelphi]

The first thing I would have done after Munoz laid his hands on me is bloody his big hook nose with an uppercut. Munoz wouldn't have been standing if this had been me he grabbed. Yep, welcome to Gotham City, Chicago, Illinois. What a hell hole.

[PROYECTOarismuca]

And why is there a cut right at 0:13? What was said in those seconds, we can't know.

[chcknhawk]

I love the video, but you were wrong about being taxed without representation. The fact that you are in an elected officials office is proof that you have representation - he just isn't representing you well! Great video though!!

[sunblynd]

LOL, politicians don't care about the poor. They don't give a F about you, your wife, or your brat kids... Much less the barrio where you live. There's only two things politicians respect People, and that's the money they steal or get on the take, that, and the Second Amendment which grants the People the inalienable right to bear firearm's and use them against it's own Government if it steps out of line. We are the People, they are the servants.

[kubikdav]

proud to be a member of cook county, just so proud!

[klim8hokes]

Grrreat to see Chicago politics on a federal level now.  Sooo proud to be an American.

[onecelticwarrior]

Guy try that shit with me & he'd be missing some teeth.I dont give a damn if he was Mayor,City Councilman or the King of England.

[decypher3]

How is this not front page news? This Alderman should be arrested!

[ArtisanTony]

You forgot to take a bucket of cash for him. lol

[maytruthabound]

Change we can believe in! Obama's home town where he received his training.

[mgallant01]

Wow what a lowlife that Munoz is. He needs a beating that would make Rodney King green with envy..

[elyons6]

Munoz is more interested in his agenda, obviously.Did Munoz actually try to throw out a "God bless you" at the end. Now that is a true politician. Don't further defraud yourself with blasphemy after the language you used.

[fisk2521]

this is a complete outrage. Thank God for the internet and youtube. Sunshine needs to illuminate corruption and now that happens - - regardless of that they try to hide.

[lunaneo1007]

What an idiot that alderman is!

It is not YOUR office punk, it is the people's office!

[sardonical1]

I would sue this city council member for battery.

[LillyCam1]

Wow, what a disgrace! If the local prosecuter doesn't press charges, then resident's of Mr. Munoz's ward need to vote him out.

[zerotolerance4u]

That's assault and battery right there. Munoz needs a good beat down. In the courts or ... somewhere.

[shiznaw]

so when bush pushed for the tax repeal, he used the logic that a reduction in taxes (no matter how temporary) would lead to wealth creation due to the fact that the "guy" (as you put it) would have more money to re-invest or grow the economy through spending.

Those within the top two tax brackets were the only ones spared by a reduction in Taxes. No other class as afforded this luxury.

So you are implying that the top two tax tiers grow the economy through spending more so than the others?

[3monkeysmomma]

"tax reduction would lead to wealth creation"

That's correct. We had 6 years of steady economic growth under Bush,(look it up) until the Dems took over the house and senate two years ago.

The current economic crisis was caused by the collapse of the credit markets.

[shiznaw]

umm...so where's the wealth creation?

is IT in your 401 K or in Exxon's bank account?

[gismotech]

WHAT A DUMBASS first off 85 percent of Exxon's stock is owned by retirement funds mutual funds and 401ks less than 1.5 percent owned by Co execs.

freaking moron

[3monkeysmomma]

It's sitting in all those vacant, foreclosed houses. You can thank the Dems for that.

[shiznaw]

and so, the dems controlled Congress and the White House for the majority of the past 10 years?

[3monkeysmomma]

You need to research the "Community Reinvestment Act" Passed under Carter, expanded by Clinton, and how it started the chain of events that led to the credit market collapse.

[hkct45]

Chicago thug politics, now they're in the white house.

[shiznaw]

how is the act of allowing bush's tax reductions expire next year increasing this guy's taxes?

[America200yo]

You see, this comment is exactly why the Obama Kool-aid drinkers shouldn't be allowed to vote.

Taxes are lower now -- when they repeal the reductions that Bush put into place THE TAXES GO BACK UP and you have to pay more. Get it?

[dave30076]

Surely you are intelligent enough to understand, that if a tax reduction expires, that the tax goes back up...so if someone is in that bracket, their taxes go up.

[shiznaw]

Umm, so is your adjusted gross income (AGI) equal to or greater than $200,000?

And if so, then what did you do with the money you had saved during the past 9 years by paying lower taxes?

Did you create additional wealth through job creation with the tax savings?

[dave30076]

My AGI wasn't the issue, never said mine was higher than $200,000.  And it's not really money saved, it's getting back more of what the guy earned, less taxes coming out. Those out there who did get their tax rates lowered may have built additions to their house (creates jobs), bought vehicles (creates jobs), or invested it (creates capital to lend, which creates jobs)

[3monkeysmomma]

shiznaw:

"how is the act of allowing bush's tax reductions expire next year increasing this guy's taxes?"

Dude, fail math much?

....and what he "did with the money" isn't the issue...It's HIS MONEY!!!! He can wipe his butt with it if he wants to. It's not your or the government's business!

[shiznaw]

you said, "Fail Math Much?"

Bush's tax reductions for the two top tax brackets were a compromise based upon the premise that these reductions were TEMPORARY, Not Permanent.

So the increase in one's disposable income is temporary gift that other tax brackets didn't get, so in essence, those in the top two tax brackets should have been prepared for what is coming by re-investing money, etc.

[3monkeysmomma]

...and their taxes are going up! DUH!

Obviously you support "wealth redistribution" without any thought for how unjust it is for 5% of the population to pay 50% of the nations taxes. Only 40% of us even pay taxes at all.

Well, Comrad, enjoy the up coming revolution...when enough of us get tired of being treated like the guy on this video on hell will break loose.

[3monkeysmomma]

by the way, you should really start listening to the business shows instead of MSNBC.

[gismotech]

sorry dumbass Bush's tax reductions were for all brackets  you fail and KEEPING YOUR MONEY IS NOT A FREAKING GIFT ITS YOUR MONEY NOT THE GOVERMENTS. ASSHOLE

[GeekGirl2u]

What a creep he needs to be fired. Send him to anger management. Where is the main stream media on this news?

[computerpurple]

This will make a great political ad. Don't vote for the ASSHOLE.

[anozir]

Can I ask how a council member in Chicago represent the entire Democratic party as a whole? Sure this guy is a sleazebag but it doesn't me the rest of us are.

[LNSmithee]

Another example of what I call the "Immaculate Perception" of Obama - somehow, out of the radicalism, corruption, cronyism, thuggery, and thievery of Chicago politics (local, state, and national), St. Barack emerged clean as a whistle, without the muck and taint of Ayers, Blago, Rev. Wright, or Rezko.

Anyone who thinks they can lie down with dogs and not wake up with fleas should sleep in a kennel sometime.

[caraclaudel]

This is an OUTRAGE. Munoz must resign or be removed from office.

Chicago needs a clean sweep. And now with the Chicago politicians taking over there, so does Washington, D.C.

Attend the Tea Parties. Support the Obama eligibility lawsuits. And let's start impeachment proceedings for all the arrogant, criminal politicians who do not realize they are hired to serve the public, not to exploit, rob, and rule over us.

[fubaglady]

Low class taxpayer-punishing Socialist crooks and scumbags....they all need to be recalled from office.

[antimarxism]

Welcome to the new Socialist state comrades!

You will NOT criticize or question Obama or any other Marxist (democrat).

Gov and the media will make your life miserable. They have many tools to do this, including physically throwing you out of their offices (that you pay for) and verbally abusing you. That's only the start.

DC thuggery is our new system of government! Hopen Change!

YouTube/Google/etc.. was a safehouse of anonymity for now, but they have proposed to change that also.

[goandfuckoff]

That is assault and battery; take your tape to the police, to the DA, and file charges yourself. Of course, you were well within your rights to just smash the fascist commie democrat (but I repeat myself) in his smug face, but since you didn't, hit the asshole where it hurts: the pocketbook.

[NameNotaNumber]

Disgusting, disgusting, disgusting Chicago Democrat thugs. These people are the scum of the earth, they have no business whatsoever in elected office. These are the savage left wing bastards who would quite happily support a totalitarian dictatorship a la Cuba. I feel so happy to know that Obama is cut from this same political cloth.

[StoogeWatcher]

Care to explain this, Dumbocrats?

[TuskAmerica]

The hits just keep on coming with these low life Democrats. Change we can believe in !

[taylort123]

yes obama would be very proud.

[Luka1410]

it would be a shame if someone knocked the crap out of that jagoff.

What the hell is wrong with the people of Chicago? I mean the ones who don't sponge off of society and count on scum like this to keep their pockets full of my money.

[GeekGirl2u]

Wow is all the people in chicago crazy ? Well that explains why Obama is the way he is.

[MissMaisieRose]

scumbag...now i know where obama gets his hubris...democrats in chicago are are the unquestioned ruling class, above us all!

[usgop]

What? The PUBLIC servants in Chicago don't know that it is against the law to assault someone?? The world saw you put your hands on the man. This man should take this low life before Judge Judy..she hates that kind of stuff!! The four letter word you used  is real low class Munoz! Disgraceful and disgusting!!

What a piece of work this clown is!!!!

[GodEqualsLove4ever]

exactly, low class. I understand Rahm Emanuel has quite a mouth on him as well . . . Chicago thugs lording it over we the people

[usgop]

I've heard that as well..in the "old days" if they had mouths like that..they didn't get caught on tape using their foul language.

We just don't have anyone in power anymore that we can be proud of..or that has our best interest at heart!

[phiddler3]

It is time for MASSIVE MORAL CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE!

[ChainedLifeVideos]

Typical democrat, pretends to care, really could give a shit.

[legalatina]

Ricardo Munoz, a Latino, Democrat from Chicago...gee, what a surprise. I hope this brave citizen files assault charges with the Chicago Police Department. Munoz is a disgrace, unfit to hold public office. How dare this low-life public servant treat a constituent that way?

[CoryChiarelli]

This is just wrong -- that office is paid for by taxpayers. These politicians do not have free reign, you are accountable.

Look for this low-life to resign shortly.

[Lvmyh2]

The father of a Chicago alderman wept moments before he was sentenced to 4 years in prison Tuesday for his role in a fake ID ring operating from inside his Little Village photo studio.

If I did something wrong, Im sorry; forgive me, Elias Munoz, father of Ald. Ricardo Munoz (22nd), said in a mixture of Spanish and English.

Prosecutors alleged that the elder Munoz took in at least $180,000 a year for about 13 years snapping pictures for phony drivers licenses and other documents.

[Lvmyh2]

Its the Chicago Way. Obama would be proud.

[Lvmyh2]

Im waiting for the taxpayers gone wild video where you see angry taxpayers with pitch forks chasing tarred and feathered scumbag politicians to the public square where they are thrown in stockades!

[ToddonCapeCod]

This is the Democrat Party of 2009.

Happy with the party you keep electing, time and time again, America?

[caligoacheron]

@ToddonCapeCod not sure who youre talking about but the majority of presidents and power in congress has been republican. Up until recently Republicans have dominated the white house and congress. Soooooooooooooooo... what?

[ToddonCapeCod]

@caligoacheron Uh, prior to the 1994 victory Democrats held majorities in both Houses of Capitol Hill for the better part of 40 years.

Sorry you're not up on your history.

BEtter luck next time, bro!

[TruthAxe]

Hey Ricardo Munoz,

Come to my neck of the woods. You'll get administered a beat down that you'll never forget.

[spasticos]

typical sociopathic POS

[TheDallasTeaParty]

Over 8000 people showed up at Fullerton CA Tea Party.

8000 people and it is nowhere on the news!!??

The people are speaking and Washington is not listening.

Change we can believe in!!?

[3monkeysmomma]

WHAT!!!!!! OMG!!!!!

File a police report, Sir!

It's time to storm the Bastille, folks. They really just don't get it.

[BigMikeLewis]

RESIGN!

[Shadowcaster316]

Playing Devil's advocate here, but we don't get to see what happened before the camera started rolling that lead up to the out burst.

[PatriotSue]

Hey, Mr. Person guy, who got assaulted by Ricardo Munoz, you are too nice. Munoz is a disgrace. We see a lot of things on Youtube. Violence galore, but to see, an elected official ATTACKING a person, ON VIDEO. It is just like, that piece of crap cop, who brutally attacked that little fifteen year old girl, in a holding cell, that was on video here lately. They know, they are on video and they still do these things.

[PatriotSue]

I cannot believe this. What a piece of crap. I wish, I lived in Chicago, just to do everything to have, this piece of crap, Munoz, removed from office. This guy, who was assaulted, is way too nice. THANKS TO THE PERSON WHO VIDEOTAPED THIS. We cannot let our ARROGANT POLITICIANS GET AWAY WITH THINGS LIKE THIS.

[PatriotSue]

I meant: Why didn't this guy press charges against Munoz or did he?

[PatriotSue]

Why did this gentleman PRESS CHARGES on this piece of crap.. Ricardo Munoz is a crap. Well he does not deserve a constituency. Only God knows, what our elected government officials do, when cameras are not around. I see, this happened in October of last year. If someone lays hands on you, that is assault.

[ravenslaves]

AND then. As if trying to push someone down the stairs isn't enough, DICKWAD says "Get that on tape."

Make him pay. That too, is a civic duty.

[Omnious24]

The only way that Chicago Democrat will ever lose his job is if he is dragged out hancuffed or displeases a higher level Democrat. The drones of Chicago will reelect him forever.

[ravenslaves]

Sue him.

Let him defend assault and battery charges.

[ualue]

The corrupt media covers this stuff up time and again. Disgraceful

[ScorpioNostalgia]

Typical Liberals/Democrats

Scumbags

[pondpublishingva]

I don't even live in chicago and that lights a fire under me like no other!!

you should press charges ASAP and get that on every major network (that will actually show it) out there - get his butt out of office - what a disgrace!

[aptharsia]

Politicians tell us everyday to get the fuck out of their offices by not listening to us when we ask them not to vote for certain bills. They do what they want to do and what their party wants them to, not the American people.

[bridgetjones]

That is called assault and battery, please press charges!

[meigan258]

The libtards ARE the media.

[LODGE4444]

If that stupid fat animal grabbed me like that I would kick him as hard as I could in his gall bladder area. And I woyuld be perfectly justified in doing so.

[avon96734]

Classy. Gives me so much faith in our elected officials. Where are all the level-headed voters?

[LiberalshateAmerica]

This just hit Hotair . com and will soon go nationwide. You should file charges against him. These are the kind of thugs we now have in the white house.

[1borito]

typical Phlegm 'n Crap politician

[saj646]

love chicago .. love it .. love those democrats... where is the media .. load of crap ..

[pitviper1968]

it figures, he's demoncrat, and he's from Chicago.....

[rileymayhem20]

fight the power

[FaaQ]

you stay classy Chicago

[doawkins]

The alderman should get an assualt charge

[RoyalBloodLine16]

call the police please have he prosecuted.

[LineDoggie]

Munoz is a Disgrace, he assaulted someone.

[squeakymewmew]

Thank you, Ald. Munoz, for having the guts to throw this whiny wimp out on the street, and for handling it yourself rather than wasting the efforts of the police on this imbecile. I would have personally had him arrested.

This video only shows part of the story. I want to hear the part that happened during the 20 minutes before the tape cut in.

If this idiot attended Munoz' office with a camera he was obviously trying to stage a scene. This is not the whole story.

[StoogeWatcher]

Typical fascist Democrat. You support a corrupt Chicago politician. Are you the president of the Rod Blagojevich Fan Club? As usual, you Nazicrats hate it when someone questions their government, especially taxpayers! You cowardly fascist leftists have no guts! I hope the taxpayer sues that brown supremacist Nazi Munoz!
