Uhm…wow
Ok, so this cat over on the left is something truly special. Now the truly observant among you might notice that this photo portrait shows him in front of some flags, and you might guess that he’s somehow involved in politics. If so, you would be correct. Sort of.
Mr. David Dickerson is not currently involved in politics. In fact, he’s not really currently involved in anything, since he’s unemployed. But he has hopes of becoming a U.S. Senator for Maryland, and is currently running in the multi-candidate primary race to fill the spot held by the retiring longtime-incumbent, Paul Sarbanes. Of course, he’s only really “running” in this race in the broadest sense of the term, since Dickerson is currently polling at less than 1%. But he just managed to get himself some free media coverage, so maybe those numbers can improve.
But maybe not.
It appears that our 43-year-old candidate has himself a 19-year-old Latvian wife (they met just last year and while it’s unclear whether or not she was a mail order bride, it sure sounds like it). While this feels dirty, it’s not illegal. But beating and raping your wife? Yeah, that’s illegal.
Dickerson has been charged with raping and assaulting his young wife, allegedly slapping her throughout their relationship and forcing her to sex him up. During her pregnancy (they have a two-month-old currently being raised in Latvia by her mother), he also allegedly left her locked in the apartment with little or no food, and would frequently threaten to kill her and her family. He of course denies all of the charges, but neighbors claim that they’ve heard screams and noises repeatedly coming from the Dickerson apartment.
“Vote Dickerson and this fall we’ll beat the Republicans like I beat my mail-order bride!”
