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."

I love the smell of “warm asphalt-in-a-hippies-face” in the morning.

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.

What a idiot. Striking a woman nonetheless. This guy would have been had for lunch if he had his little fit at the Eagles Up rally Saturday.

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.

How stupid do you have to be before slapping a cop seems like a good idea?

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!”

Liberals worship Castro, and are violent cowards by definition.

I think you'd win that bet.

Somewhere in the "peace" organizations statement on this incident, I think it is mentioned that the perpetrator is a Vietnam Veteran.

If so, he was a most likely a REMF

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.

"...to see this guy's picture plastered all over the local news where he's from ... he needs to be publicly humiliated."

==================================

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??"

Before and after. He's the second from the left in his little black beret. POS, hope he gets jail for his actions. Hope the lady on his right isn't the abusive POS's wife.

Tasing is going easy on them.
That go down without “resisting”.
No opportunities to use compliance moves on the filthy hippy ;)
