A local political candidate slapped one teenager and choked another in public at a restaurant Sunday in Miami-Dade Count and it was all caught on camera, according to police. George Bardmesser is a Russian-American attorney who is campaigning for Sunny Isles Beach commissioner. Police officers responded and handcuffed Bardness, 59, who wore a shirt promoting his campaign.
