Did you know: Justice Ann Walsh Bradley

Walsh Bradley
You may have heard of a recent altercation where Justice Walsh Bradley took a swing at Justice Prosser.

Interesting tidbit from a reader:
Justice Ann Walsh Bradley taught religion for one year as Ann Walsh at Aquinas HS [La Crosse] in the early 1970s. She was from Richland Center and graduated from Webster University. Justice Bradley was there before Fr. Raymond Burke taught there.
Did that include her right hook?

Course was entitled "Karate As the Theological Expression of Social Justice", eh?

Did you see where Prosser grabbed the mike from the reporter? He was goaded into it.

Did you hear that he called a woman a b%tch? He was goaded into it.

As a formerly battered wife (I was blamed for his choking of me for years), I recognize anger issues and Prosser fits the bill. Whoever touched the other first is the aggressor. If Bradley hit Prosser first, she is the aggressor. If Prosser grabbed her first, he is.

Oh, and I vote Republican.

Calling a spade a spade requires no "goading."

There may be more fitting ways to describe the personality of CJ Abrahamson, but they would be much less polite.

I was called the same thing for years, Dad29. He always said he wouldn't call me this unless it wasn't true. My ex now calls his new wife this and our son calls girls and his sister this.

You should be ashamed by your comment.

If Prosser wants people to be seen for who they truly are, he needs to show others the best of who he truly is. I voted for him in spite of the bitch comment but he really needs to get himself together. Yes, I do believe Prosser has issues with control and abuse.

I do believe Prosser was asked or told to leave Bradley's office but he chose not to. Would it be okay for her to stay in his office if she was told to leave? He should have just left and now blames Bradley for the fight. I also saw his behavior with the reporter and this speaks to his temper as well.

REFERRING to someone in a private conversation with poor language is different than DIRECTLY calling someone a bitch out of anger. If I called a male co-worker a prick (one who I believe is especially rotten but others may admire), I would probably be fired and for sure written up and sent to classes (and might be clocked by said prick).

What would happen if you called a female co-worker a bitch and threatened to destroy her? Defending this poor language and behavior only enables it to continue.

Using this language is a poor example to our spouses, community, and especially to our children. These names hurt way more innocent people than those one or two especially rotten people. It teaches young people that if they disagree with someone, it is okay to call names as long as they believe this someone is especially rotten.

Prosser has let down some of his fellow Republicans and all survivors of abuse. An apology would go a long way in smoothing this over but it's clear that he's not ashamed either.

He has lost my support.

Talk about shooting cred in the foot....you've done a fine job.

You asked me a question. I answered honestly what I believe to be true based on what I know and have seen.

You've done a fine job in attempting to downplay concerning incidents.

Now what about my questions?

What about directly calling them that DURING (what was intended to be)a PRIVATE CONVERSATION, JustUs?

Without additional information, how can you judge one side and not the other? Perhaps this is their 'working dynamic', and perhaps choice words come out of the other SC Justice's mouths, but you simply haven't heard them, as no one has leaked them to the press.

It's my understanding from what I've read, that the bi*** comment was during a private conversation behind closed doors, and your own SCJ Ann Bradley leaked it to the press.

There's too much unknown here to completely 'take a side'.

Why is calling names okay? It only causes more anger. Next thing we know, people are pushing, blaming and grabbing each other. We teach children not to do it and I don't expect this from any justice.

Do you call names during private conversations with co-workers? Do you call your spouse or children names during private conversations? What about one-on-one conversations with neighbors?

If any of the other justice call disrespectful, juvenile names out of anger, I would be just as upset with them. It doesn't matter what gender or what party they support.

I'm basing my opinion on what I do know. I really, really don't understand how anyone can support and excuse this language and behavior, especially those who are practicing Catholics.

P.S. Bradley does not belong to me any more that Prosser does.

Dad29 said...

I think I see a "concern troll" at work here.

I'm done.

JustUs said...

You are wrong Dad29 but your statement doesn't surprise me.

When you can't make a legitimate point, defend poor behaviors and won't answer simple questions, you call names and run.

This thread speaks for itself and others can base their opinions on what has been said here.

God Bless and Peace be with you.
