romney leads bullying attack on gay looking student

**UncleBuck** · 05-10-2012, 03:35 PM

John Lauber, a soft-spoken new student one year behind Romney, was perpetually teased for his nonconformity and presumed homosexuality. Now he was walking around the all-boys school with bleached-blond hair that draped over one eye, and Romney wasn’t having it.

“He can’t look like that. That’s wrong. Just look at him!” an incensed Romney told Matthew Friedemann, his close friend in the Stevens Hall dorm, according to Friedemann’s recollection. Mitt, the teenaged son of Michigan Gov. George Romney, kept complaining about Lauber’s look, Friedemann recalled.

A few days later, Friedemann entered Stevens Hall off the school’s collegiate quad to find Romney marching out of his own room ahead of a prep school posse shouting about their plan to cut Lauber’s hair. Friedemann followed them to a nearby room where they came upon Lauber, tackled him and pinned him to the ground. As Lauber, his eyes filling with tears, screamed for help, Romney repeatedly clipped his hair with a pair of scissors.

The incident was recalled similarly by five students, who gave their accounts independently of one another.

I knew this would turn up on here. And not surprisingly posted by our favorite liberal hack. Ewww, he cut a lock of hair off some kid in the equivalent of high school as a prank. Wowsers, that all you got? It's so freaking pathetic and laughable it reeks of desperation.

Obama admitted to pushing a girl and regularly doing blow, but Romney cut some guys hair... the horror of it all. If that's what you're hanging your hopes on, you might as well vote for Huntsman now and save yourself the embarrassment of throwing your vote away on Obama.

actually, the incident was that romney led a group of his friends, sought out this poor kid, tackled him, pinned him down to the ground and cut off his hair repeatedly as he cried and screamed for help.

the kid was traumatized by this, thought it about it a lot for years after it happened.

bullying gay kids around has come under national spotlight lately because this kind of bullying has lead traumatized kids to commit suicide.

a prank is shaving off part of your friend's eyebrow if he's the first to pass out at the party, rounding up a posse and tackling someone that is not part of your group of friends, then pinning him to the ground and cutting off his hair as he cries and screams for help - and all because he simply looks weird or gay - that's pretty shitty bullying.

One of the kids that helped do it also says he still thinks about it..

I don't know if you ever been to that part of Michigan but its like Beverley hills, probably even wealthier back then, the area is crawling with silver spoon fed people..its a world away from most of Michigan. Spoiled rotten kids and here is Romney the head of the pack lmao
