An update from Vote for Marriage NC on their official Facebook page:
UPDATE: An elderly woman has filed a police report in Lumberton charging a man with aggravated assault. While looking for her sister, she claims the individual had committed a hate crime by physically assaulting her during an argument over her position on the marriage amendment. In her police report she claims the man was verbally harassing her over her marriage position, and then proceeded to prevent her from leaving. She also claims the man slammed her back with the car door 4-5 times while she tried to escape.
Later in the comments they added:
...the elderly woman filed a police report earlier today claiming the man committed an aggravated assault (also marking it as a hate crime). The Deputy also witnesses to red marks on her body.

A real man would never physically threaten or attack an old lady. Sounds like a went into a hissy fit and lost control.
In other Amendment One news, another yard sign is destroyed, this time by shot gun!

Abortion, divorce, euthanasia, eugenics, legal confusion between marriage and same sex relationships are all parts of an ideology (we could call it secular humanism) which is incompatible with democracy.
In fact, we have more and more evidence that those people supporting the goals of such ideology are willing to use violence, discrimination and intimidation to reach their goals.
A sign placed in my yard w/o my permission becomes my property. I may do with it what I want. Ooh, scary shotgun...not.
vs.
Physically assaulting an old lady b/c you disagree with her. Now *that's* scary.
Heterosexual divorce is part of the same ideology as same-sex marriage? Man, you guys have completely lost all attachment to reality.
thanks Maggie...I guess 'Joe My God' was confused yesterday must have been from all the fairy dust he's been snorting.
NOM will need to provide some proof. Pointing to a post on your own Facebook page isn't going to cut it.

Still waiting for a reliable source to report what up to now has only been "reported" in NOM's own social media.

@Victor Golf Charles,
On a previous thread, you said you were a supporter of Leviticus 20:13. Do you stand by that comment? Do you support criminalization of homosexuality? Support capital punishment for gays? How many other opponents of SSM on this site agree with VGC?
I support criminalization of beating up on little old ladies, Scrounger.
How 'bout you?
Rick - Beating up old ladies is already against the law. I know you're foolishly trying to imply otherwise, but all gay and lesbian people would agree. I can guarantee that the percentage of people on our side who think it should be against the law to beat up old ladies is higher than the percentage of people on your side who think it should be against the law to beat up (or kill) gay and lesbian kids. Mountains of evidence prove that the violence is exclusively coming from the anti-gay religious lobby and you know it.
You can't guarantee anything of the kin d, Brett, but that is because you are completely unobjective on this subject.
That's OK- it became a culture war a long time ago.
At least we settle these things with ballots, not bullets, here in the good ol' USA.
It's good news.
For us
Actually Rick, you should read the Federalist Papers (especially #78). Our Founding Fathers intended these struggles to be settled in court.
And yes, I condemn all violence, beating up an old lady included (if that is indeed what happened).
Barb, some of us choose to see the real issue here and the point that is being made of which the anti's always so conveniently don't see. How it looks out here in the real world is awfully inappropriate. Does he have the right to do so? Absolutely. But there is another point being made here, at least to other people, and you don't see it. Just like with this whole gay issue. You refuse or are not able to acknowledge another point of view, the most important one being that it is religion that has created the negative thoughts towards homosexuality. There would be no issue here if religious people were capable of acknowledging that your belief system is yours. It belongs to you. If you want to make everyone accountable to their God that resides in your belief system, then by all means do so. But do not expect others that do not share your belief system to hold themselves accountable to yours. Your way has started this unfortunate situation and it will end as soon as you stop creating a situation that does not exist except within your own belief system.
Of course there are plenty of folks who are not religious and who do not support the redefinition of marriage. These folks have made their decision based on the long tradition that marriage = 1 man + 1 woman.
These folks believe in the truth that marriage is the glue that holds society together, that children should be raised by their married mother and father, that we as a society shouldn't normalize the manufacturing of children like puppies for the amusement of same-sex couples.
There are plenty of non-religious reasons to resist the redefinition of marriage.
@Brett 73
Your "waiting for evidence" is worse than CBS Interactive President Jim Lanzone -- he banned me all because I support traditional one-man-one-woman marriage and oppose same-sex "marriage".
If you can read, read my blog entry.
--Victor Golf Charles, LGBT-free ever since he paid a visit to Exodus
Not condoning violence at all. None of us are. This guy is hardly a representation for people who are FOR marriage (meaning for everyone not just straight people, you're the only ones against any kind of marriage). And what I'm about to say still doesn't mean I condone violence...
When you insult someone's relationship, you make them very angry. Just in case you wonder why you evoke our rage. Think about if I called your marriage a sham. It's the same for us. And that's not arguable, and of course is insulting to us when you insist it's not the same thing. Because it is. And you're wrong.
So stop pretending like you're the real victims here. This was a wrong incident. But you are wrong entirely on the subject.
eliasasm,
It is the actions of marriage corruption supporters that have created the negative opinion of marriage corruption supporters. You have no basis for your demands; whereas your adversaries can point to well over five thousand years of history and traditions.
You cannot even agree on the definitons of the words you use in defense of your proclivity; you have to bastardize words just so you can look at yourself.
@Randy E King gets it. Thank you.
--Victor Golf Charles
How many of the pro-NOM posters have never had same-sex attractions?
@Victor Golf Charles,
I read your blog. You've been persecuted by so many in the video games world. Care to answer my question? Do you you support Leviticus 20:13? Execution for gays?
I read the police report. The suspect acted illegally and I condemn his actions. Whether it rises to the charges of a Hate Crime/Kidnapping/Aggr.Assault is uncertain. If this is the worst Christian-bashing at the hands of gays that happens in NC, then it fails to compare with anything that gays have faced.
VGC, love your blog! You should share it with the ladies, because nothing says 'dateable' like furious rants about video game reviews you disagree with.
@dn
I hope that was sarcasm.
--Victor Golf Charles, a.k.a. Sensitive Guy
No, I'm completely sincere. Sarcasm would be saying "your choice of turquoise text on a blue background makes your blog easy to read."
@dn
Perhaps your monitor needs adjustments, just like your attitude does. God is in this battle to protect marriage. I am proud to be one of His footsoldiers.
Same-sex "marriage" advocates all ought to be concerned not about me, but about Him.
--Victor Golf Charles
Bryce: you nailed it...after following this blog awhile, it's clear that all the major posters are homosexual themselves.
Hey VGC, I'm gay and have 2 daughters and 4 grandchildren. What's your point? If you really wanted to defend marriage you'd be going after the hetereosexuals that have made marriage a joke and a worthless institution. Can you say 50% divorce rate.
VGC, I think god would consider you a much more effective footsoldier if your blog was legible. Why do you hate god?
@dn
I shouldn't have to remind you that there's a new federal law that prohibits people from falsely accusing me of "hating God," right? Okay then.
--Victor Golf Charles, and have a nice day.
Unfortunately, all my law books are printed with black ink on white paper and are, therefore, exceedingly difficult to read. Would you be so kind as to provide a copy of the new law that makes it illegal to ask someone a question?
If you could please send me the law in turquoise text on a blue background, I will have a much easier time reading it. You're a dear. And keep up the good work, lover of god!
So you blank out the alleged victim's name, but NOT the name of the alleged perpetrator? How helpful. Now concerned Christians in his neighborhood can come and witness to him.
Report is pretty vague on the circumstances. And am I reading it correctly? The woman involved is 57 years old. That's ELDERLY? Exaggerate much?
@john G
ACTUALLY, NOM DOESN'T TELL A LIE, NOW PAY ATTENTION
Brian Brown's boxers aren't in a knot. Your legal panties are. Every time you post here, you send an e-mail to my inbox because Jim Lanzone oh-so-foolishly set it up that way. The receiptal of the e-mail indicates you have violated the aforementioned statute, which you just violated.
Nice going, Ace. Don't blame NOM. Blame Jim Lanzone.
--Victor Golf Charles, M.D. (Marriage Defender)
PS: You can avoid federal prosecution by posting here your real name, your real address, and your real telephone number. Your choice.
VGC, you first.
@dn
PAY ATTENTION
Either stop posting anti-marriage comments or publish your full identity. Your choice. Choose wisely.
VGC, leave Britney alone!!!!!!
@dn
That was funny back in 2005, like the "U MAD?" meme was in 2007. Try using something fresh.
--Victor Golf Charles
Hm that's strange, I expected a uniformed police officer to deliver your reply. Anyhow, it's been fun, but my Japanese girlfriend is waiting for me. Gotta run. Toodles!
