(Nice investigative blogging. – promoted by ProgressiveCowgirl)

I paid $1.25 to obtain a copy of the actual police report. Apologies to Jennifer Bailey. Nobody phoned the police. Someone physically walked into the police department to report an incident. The case status is inactive. After reading the actual police report, I stand by my original comment: The GOP needs anger management therapy.

Names have been redacted from the report, but this is the text:

On Wednesday, 05-09-2012, I responded to the front counter to speak with [Redacted] and [Redacted] who wished to report a suspicious incident that occurred at the Mesa County Republican board meeting that had occurred between 1700 and 1740 hours.

The reporting parties advised me of the following:

Both [Redacted] and [Redacted] advised me that on Wednesday, 05-09-2012, they were attending a board meeting of the Mesa County Republicans located at 1114 N. 1st Street. There was some apparent animosity between some of the members. [Redacted] described these as Tea Party members. One member, known to them as Marjorie Haun, was aggressively putting a digital recording device in front of [Redacted] each time she spoke. [Redacted] ask Haun not to recortd her but Haun continued.

As [Redacted] was walking past another Republican member, known to him as Jerry Hunsinger, he placed his hand on the man’s shoulder and told him that he had received the e-mails. As [Redacted] did so, Hunsinger spun around with his arm extended. [Redacted] stated in doing so Hunsinger struck the woman beside him, known only to [Redacted] by the last name of Chazen. Chazen accused [Redacted] of hitting her, rather than Hunsinger. [Redacted] left the meeting and came to the police department to file a report.

[Redacted] gave me copies of two emails that had been forwarded to him by another membr of the party. Both emails appear to be written by Jerry Hunsinger who identified himself as SCV# 321254, which stand for Sons of the Confederate Veterans. Both e-mails state Hunsinger’s open animosity towards [Redacted]. Copies of those e-mails are included with this report.

[Redacted] also gave me a copy of a letter sent to the Grand Junction Free Press which speaks of a divisiveness between the “new blood” and the “old guard”.

[Redacted] were looking for documentation of this incident in case they were accused of being the aggressors.

I guess that they were right. Even though the names were redacted, my educated guess is that the people filing the police report were Garry and Barbara Brewer, and Jennifer Bailey did, indeed, accuse them of being the aggressors in her post at ColoradoPols.

Now for the attachments:

An E-mail was sent to the Grand Junction Free Press signed Jerry A. Hunsinger, delegate 3rd CD and State GOP Assemblies. It was forwarded to [Redacted] on April 28, 2012

The text follows.

New blood in the GOP

Will be thorn to old leaders

In response to the Gary Harmon May 19 article, “GOP candidates get ready for a showdown,” I say, “Way to go Jennifer Bailey. All we need do is just back off and you or one of the other sanctimonious WSCA Board members will say something stupid that clearly shows how out of touch you are.”

Bailey’s comment in Harmon’s article has to be a last-ditch dffort to prop up Tipton. Guess what, I was at that debate and Tipton got whipped. Baily and her group had a chance to back the rising star, Bob McConnell, but no, they backed a man who has already proved he cannot beat Salazar.

In case she hasn’t noticed, politicians aren’t faring too well. McInnis, Norton and Tipton are in for a surprise at the state assembly. We are taking our country back and we no longer need organizations like the Western Slope Conservative Alliance and retread politicians to help with that effort. New blood is [balance of sentence is illegible in the copy.]

The final page of the report contains the text of two Emails received by [Redacted]

The below are the e-mails I received:

This was sent April 21, 2012

If the SCV meeting I just walked out of is representative of what I can expect, I will never attend another. What the hell is up with the Sons of the Revolution or whomever they were? I don’t want to do anything with them.

Furthermore [Redacted] is a low-life piece of shit as far as I am concerned and I have no intention of participating in anything with him in attendance.

Jerry Hunsinger

SCV #321254

This was sent April 22, 2012

I think I was clear insofar as [Redacted] is concerned-I can’t stand to even look at the crooked son-of-a bitch. If he is going to appear from “time-to-time,” I will not attend.

I have absolutely no interest in associating with SAR; I am a Confederate, always have been. Combining the two diametrically opposed ideologies is of no interest whatsoever to me, nor will I ever be part of a “camp leadership team” that supports such crap.

So, if you think it necessary to kiss [Redacted] ass, go ahead, but I don’t kiss anyboy’s [sic] ass, ever, nor

Jerry

FYI-I received a third e-mail however all it contained was a message that “he was out of the office.”

I hope the above is informative.
