I'm a member of the University of Oregon College Republicans (and a new freeper-be nice! lol), and I was about 5 feet away from the fight that broke out. Of course, the Register Guard is trying to downplay what really went on.

After Anthony took out his sign and started chanting "four more years", he was jumped. He had his sunglasses and necklace broken, he was punched four times, and several people tried to drag him to the ground. By the time he was able to get out, he was bleeding and had a headache. We later found out that he did suffer a concussion and severe head and neck trauma-that's exactly what the hospital said, regardless of what they're reporting.

And guess what the cops did? Nothing! They didn't take a report, and only "talked" to two of the men who attacked us, then (as far as I know), let them back in. When we moved to a street corner, a woman punched a man standing near us (not a member of our group), spit on him, and then walked off. Again, a policeman across the street merely stood, and refused to cross the street to stand next to us.

When I tried to file a complaint with the cops, I was told that they’d “pass my concerns along”, but I got the impression a report hadn’t been filed-the woman I spoke to said she didn’t know what I wanted her to do (I called the person in charge of civilian complaints I said I wanted to file a complaint!). However, I was told that just because police were in the vicinity, didn’t mean that I was guaranteed any measure of safety-their presence was a deterrent only, and that cops are assigned areas that they are to stay in unless there’s a problem (this isn’t a problem!?!).

I’ve already sent this along to Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Michael Medved and Hugh Hewitt-hopefully someone will pick this up. I just find it very telling about the Democratic Party-they certainly are rabid, for such a “diverse” and “tolerant” party!

Eugene, yikes, ...the belly of the beast. This doesn't surprise me. Oregon Dims seem to all be of the rabid, foaming at the mouth variety. Just thank your lucky stars they didn't bite you. You'd probably get rabies.

Democrats are the stormtroopers of today. The brown shirts. Socialists, as much as they say otherwise, may not be for the violence of war, but are all for violence as a means to create change when they don't get what they want from the democratic process. In essence they don't believe in democracy. It is a means to an end. That end being the little politically correct dream world they have concocted in their petty minds.

Of course violence is wrong if its the police using it against them. This is the exact pattern carried about by Hitler's National Socialists. They used violence and intimidation. Yes, they were elected legally into power, but the meas they used included violence. The democratic process was just a tool. They soon abolished it and created the Reich in its stead.

Dear One,
I will pray for you... and May the lord have mercy on their souls... what are you doing in Eugene anyway?...that is a hotbed of debauchery and hippie drug sins...you need to leave now!

Eugene, feminist capital of the world. Send 'em razors, they need them!

Who's Eugene, and why is Teresa swinging through him?

Your problem is you aren't a tree...or some other object revered by liberal scum at the expense of valuing human beings. Welcome to FR.
