Police Arrest Peace Movement Protester Who Slapped Woman
By Alan Gray, NewsBlaze

March 24, 2008

West Chester, PA - On Saturday, around 12:10 PM, a member of the Chester County Peace Movement (CCPM) slapped a woman twice, while she was videotaping an exchange between two opposing groups. The woman is a local journalist.

Police were called and an officer arrived at 12:15 PM. He announced to the crowd that he was conducting an investigation.

The assailant was pointed out to police and the officer told the man to come forward, but the man was uncooperative and belligerent, and refused to go with the officer.

When he pushed the officer, the officer's partner took him to the ground to be handcuffed. The man continued to resist while on the ground and other peace movement protesters surrounded the officers, some as close as a foot or so away.

The woman journalist who was slapped said, "I pride myself in my professional conduct at this rally and to be struck twice by a "peace" protester, who has been present since the time I began covering this rally, is truly disturbing."

Slapping the woman was the reason the police were summoned. Police never got the chance to investigate that before the guy put his hands on an officer.

A slightly more detailed description of the woman is an area freelance writer/filmaker.

SO many “peace lovers” are vicious nut jobs - the rest are merely useless nut jobs.

correction: I was being sarcastic but I really should have said “peace activists” - most lovers of peace, real peace, peace without surrender to terrorists, are of course not like these nut jobs at all.

One thing we can all agree on: Cop and protestor alike, they could all use some Rogaine.

Ah yes, a balding, greying hippie puffs up his courage and slaps a woman ...

I,as a balding, greying ex-hippie, would like to see this guy's picture plastered all over the local news where he's from ... he needs to be publicly humiliated.

One problem these lefties have is that they have drunk the Kool-aid for so long that they start to believe their own BS. They believe that they are morally superior and that their superiority justifies and indemnifies all their actions. Pushing a cop is a real quick way to burst that bubble.

Look at the bald head....I'd bet a beer he is a failed 60's war protestor who is planning to be in Denver to create havoc if Obama doesn't get the nomination.

Especially in their leader, Karen Porter of the Chester County Peace Movement. Porter's eamil says that this guy apologized to the group when released from jail. Porter says he has nothing to apologize for because everyone has their limit.

Obviously Porter has low limits.

This is the same woman who calls for people to stand with "War Is Not The Answer" signs in memory of the 4,000 fallen. What a sick, sick person. Shame on Karen Porter. Shame of her cult followers.

There is a limit? After which an agressor can launch first strike attacks on a “peaceful” individual of different opinion?

The COMMUNISTS are not a peace group. They are an anti-American group. They don’t have a problem with naked agression, they have a problem with the military missions of our nation.

Unfortunately, this incident is not the first case.

Here in Columbia, a man is jailed right now for punching a counter-protester.

damn idiots. These peope say they are for "peace", but they are not for peace, democracy or for the future of America.

Send them all to iran, the nutjob would love to talk with them, im sure.

He also puffed up his stupidity by resisting police.

Idiot. You have to submit to the authority, THEN get a lawyer to resist and fight back if you feel you are wrongly detained.

Otherwise, you give them a reason to rough you up.

A real hero/sarc allegedly from my city got slapped by a four foot tall woman at the gay Marriage Vote after he got in her face and started screaming at her if she ever had an orgasm and other obscenities. She got arrested after he ran around squealing “Charge Her! Charge Her!”

Ach. I've met a number of Viet Nam vets. In my own limited experience, it seemed to me that their reaction to the war depended largely on the kind of people they were going into it.

I was about twelve around the time of the “original” peace protests during the Viet Nam war. Believe me, these people weren’t any cuter at 18 than they are now.

I guess the peace nuts pacifist attitude only applies toward being cowards and surrendering to our enemies. I guess violence is acceptable when assaulting an unarmed woman. They deserve our contempt. If it weren’t for our brave fighting men and women, the pacifists would all be dead or slaves.

LOL! Oh, I think it's happening all over town as in:

--(Woman watching television, calls out to her husband):"Chester! Chester! Come in here. Quick! Look! Isn't that that old crazy man over on the next block who lives in that house with all those..."

--(Little kid starring at the TV)"Mommy, is that grandpa??"

Your tagline reminds me of one of the reports I saw done by a kid at my son’s school describing what she’s giving up for Lent. “For Lent, I’m going to quit trying to stop hitting my sister”. 2nd grade.

Thanks for the Ping, Flyer.

Peace Activist = oxymorn

I hope Skye has enough evidence and witnesses of her being slapped to press assault chrges on the old man. He should be ashamed of himself for hitting a woman. At the very least, he's being charged from laying his hands on an officer.

The woman is a local journalist.

Does she have name?

She goes by the name of "Skye" to protect her identity from the leftist loon types that could very possibly hunt people down and harm or kill them if they do conform their version of peace.
