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!
horrified ping
What you say is true..
I am member of the Maine Patriot Guard..

You are right..
It IS important news..
There is no way to convey to you, how much pride and sorrow we have for our Troops.. both at the same time.
It hurts like HELL..
GGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
SPITTING SCREWS OUT AS NAILS GRRRRRRRRRRRRR
The whole hierarchy up and down the chain of command ought to be out of a job AT THE LEAST . . . globalist stooges.
GRRRRRRRRRR
Thanks for the boost, SOA. I forgot to add you to the ping. Sorry about that!
Nope! The video is currently in police custody.
While I truly respect what the Gathering of Eagles and this family are trying to do it seems that an opportunity is missed and missed time and again. Don't just videotape with one source but with two or three. Once an incident has occured and is caught on video make sure there is a laptop nearby to save the video before sharing with the police. It's the same theory as when signing a legal document. Each gets a copy for their protection. Have someone video the officers as they are reviewing the situation. Etc. It may sound caustic but unless we engage aggressively in exposing the left with empirical proof of their hypocrisy then these protest threads are simply for the choir.
Remember that Obama lost (or certainly gave the huge opening Clinton needed) simply because someone made an audio recording of Obama's "bitterness" quote. Or to go further back the video (and pics) of Obama doing the crotch grab while the national anthem was being played.
We HAVE the power to make a difference on an individual level nowadays, a power that if excercised at the right time and effectively can be more revealing than a well-honed $2 million political ad campaign.
Y’all do a great service for our beloved heroes and our country. Thank you for all you do.
I hear you all the here! Thanks for the outrage. Now if another 20 million would come to that point we may get somewhere.
A sad, pitiful thing, that no one could be bothered to help. I hope they are in need some day, and no one cares.
There very well may be another video. I’m unsure of all the particulars. Hopefully, more will come out soon.
1: Learn Krav Maga. It's easy to learn and hurts the bad guy real bad
2: Bring a large, loud, anti-social dog to these events. File a notice that he is “helper dog” so he can go with you anywhere.
3: Video everything from at least two cameras, kept some distance away so they won't be involved.
4: Get video of license plates of perps before any assaults begin.
5. Go see elected officials who are over the cops. Explain your next call is to the TV stations and will include the report that they are not protecting you.
6. Sue everyone involved. Get a lawyer friend who will take case on high contingency. Don't just give him 35 or 40%. Give him 65 or 70 percent of any recovery and watch him make their lives miserable.
Don't play fair!
It certainly is. It is long past time to let these fools know this behavior will NOT be tolerated!
Don't play fair!
;*)
I think it might take 50-100 million.
We are sooooo far down the road already to the global tyrannical government.
We are sooooo far down the road already to the global tyrannical government.
Agreed! Now, how do we convince the 1 or 20 or 50-100 million that the time has come to act?
Thanks for the input. G'night.
Last night I saw was a Krav Maga guy in a sports bar. 7 bar toughies decided to go after the “little Jew.” 4 got hit by flying pool balls in the face. Another two got the cue. The last one got a broken knee from a simple side kick.
All in about 7 seconds. Little Jewish guy paid his tab and was 20 blocks away before cops arrived.
“That the police allowed anyone to assault a 14 year old kid undermines order and confidence in the police.”
This undermines more than order and confidence in the police.
They are not the arbitrators of freedom.
I have to disagree.
Check your email.
I am not sure what we are disagreeing about?
