My e-mail box is over-flowing with alarming news from Pa. where the Gathering of Eagles witnessed a 14-year old boy attacked by Peace Thugs.
This news is so disturbing and so typical, that a website has now been established to document this intensifying level of violence against patriotic Americans. Peace Thugs Exposed!
Dan Maloney, my friend and GOE NY Coordinator writes about this outrage.

Iraq War Veteran and Family Assaulted!
April 22, 2008
Peace Fascists, College Professors and Hillary Supporters assault Iraqi War Veteran and Family while citizens do nothing to intervene.
Edinboro, PA, Apr. 22
For the second time in as many weeks, an Iraq War Veteran and his family held a Support the Troops rally across the street from the weekly “peace” protest in this college town. This week the true nature of the ‘peace’ activists was revealed for all to see. When the veteran’s 14 year old son crossed the street to videotape the protesters and their signs, the protesters became agitated and began harassing the boy. The right to record video in any public venue is long established in law and any attempt to interfere with that right is a violation of civil rights.
Seeing the escalating tension across the street, the veteran and his wife crossed over, leaving their three youngest children on the other side for safety while they went to retrieve their eldest son. Two of the female ‘peace’ protesters then attacked the veteran’s wife. When the veteran pulled one of those attackers off his wife he was jumped by four or five of the ‘peace’ people and knocked to the ground where they held him while beating him and smashing his eyeglasses.
The son pulled the remaining attacker off his mother, but the attacker managed to get in one last kick to his mother’s head with her boot. She then punched the son in his face while his mother called the police.
This all took place at a busy intersection, the mother had been knocked into the street in bumper to bumper traffic. People were visible in the windows of shops and a bar nearby. One might think someone would intervene to put a stop to the assault. One would be wrong. In a scene eerily reminiscent of the Kitty Genovese tragedy in New York, the bystanders and passers-by refused to stand up to the ‘peace’ thugs. Displaying a craven cowardice one would not have expected in middle America they would rather go on their way thankful that it was not them being assaulted. It was NOT them, today, but what about tomorrow?
When the police arrived they reviewed the video of the incident and then, astonishingly, refused to make any arrests, even when one of the ‘peace’ thugs spit in the face of the 14 year old boy right in front of the police and they did nothing! Officers, that is an assault! I don’t know where or how they train police in Edinboro but they obviously need some refresher courses!
One of the police was very aggressive toward the veteran and his family as if they were the attackers!
I think it is long past time for the people in this country to wake up to the violence of the ‘peace’ movement. I think it is long past time for them to realize that not standing up to the excesses of violence will only beget more violence.
Last Fourth of July, in New Jersey, one of these ‘peace’ people walked up to a young veteran of the War in Iraq and Afghanistan and shot him in the heart just because he was in the military. Last month another person or persons unknown detonated an improvised explosive device at the Armed Forces Recruiting Station in Times Square. Today a veteran and his family were assaulted in plain daylight on a public street in view of dozens of people and not one lifted a hand to help. This is not the America I grew up in. This is the Amerika the ‘peace’ crowd is bringing to your town and neighborhood.

It is past time for the American people to wake up to what is going on in this country and actively defend our Troops and country!
You’re being way too generous.....Rendell’s thugs for hire think not. They are not thinking beings...simply paid thugs.
Rule two video tape the person doing the video taping.
I'm sure you meant $200 mil pol ad campaign! tho' perhaps you meant to leave out Soros, China, et al!
I’m what could be called a Freeper Lurker! hehe. I haven’t had a lot of time to come in here very often, but I miss and appreciate my Freeper friends. A Soldier couldn’t ask for better friends and supporters!!
The police union and the thug union have a common bond....don’t live in a city with a police union, unless you want to see this theatre repeated in a neighborhood near you!
Bears repeating in an election year!!!
When life-or-death is seconds to chose, the police are just minutes away!
Inner city police only enforce the law and protect each other. If during the course of those duties you are saved that is the only way it will happen. They protect the guilty by mandate from the courts, and they do not in any way feel a duty or fulfil a duty to protect anyone.
To "protect and to serve" refers to protecting and serving other police.
I have witnessed this first hand over the course of a lifetime and heard it said from a watch commander to a community watch group
DO NOT EVER EXPECT INNER CITY POLICE TO COME AND SAVE YOU, you will most likely become their victim as well. I do not hate cops, in fact I like them , but this is just my experience
(or those that have the same mind set are here in the twin cities now and they are making plans.)
the v.c., the khmer rouge, the viet minh, the bolsheviks...they all made plans too.
Only when it SNOWS!
Not yet.
However, if they do give the nomination to Hildebeast, the cries and shrieks of "burn, baby, burn" will surely echo from many neighborhoods. On the night of the nominations at the demoncrat convention, I will be locked and loaded.......just in case.
-------------------------------------
I have a different approach...
I look to the left and up just a bit and loudly say something like the following:
What?...No, I promised I wouldn't...Don't make me!
That combined with a T-Shirt which says:
After that they usually mutter something like "Dude, Your Crazy" and then they back away...They never turn and walk away..they always back away. I don't know why. One of those mysteries of life the voices keep telling me about.
That being said, if worst comes to worst I am fully capable of handling any three, or making any five wish they hadn't. I would not use a bat. I know 10 ways to take a bat away from someone, so odds are if you have one it will be taken away from you. (Granted, after delivering much pain.) Therefore you are better off, when fighting hand to hand, to fight with...(drumroll) your hands.
Thanks.
Good for the people of Maine.
Your choice of anamatomical metaphor was way too kind.
Something is bound to happen in this mess they created.
Good for you.
It is really nuts the way people think here.
One thing I notice about other parts of the country is that when you meet people, it’s what you see is what you get but here everyone has two or three agendas.
I also notice the people here have competitive conversations where they only want to make thier points and they never stop to listen to what you are actuiually saying. Or if you stop to consider something that you are dim.

BRAVO!
Well-written.
Thank you, Quix.
May God have mercy. Lord, please send revival!
Apparently you can’t read and understand four lines of script.
Try reading the first two lines of my post again.
A kid should be able to be free enough to stand on any street corner safely....but you have to know your surroundings and whether it’s a smart thing to do.
A 14 year old doesn’t have the horse sense to know that going into a crowd of unwashed, ill mannered, and 99% of the time, mentally unstable group of liberal anti war/anti America rabble with a video camera is a bad idea.
His/her parents, on the other hand should know better.
It’s not about what the kid SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO IN A FREE COUNTRY, it’s about what you CAN do in this country and reasonably expect to come out unscathed. That’s why we have the police.....because life ain’t fair and shit walks around every day free to wreck havoc on the good folk.
Amen.
Thanks for your kind words.
