Pro-Israel US Marine Attacked By Pro-Hamas Mob – Punched, Kicked, Spat On (at White House)
The Gateway Pundit ^ | Sunday, August 3, 2014 | Jim Hoft

(Language warning for the video.) On Saturday August 2, 2014, a national march for Gaza took place in front of the White House.

A pro-Israeli counter-protester (U.S. Marine and Iraq War veteran Manny Vega) was standing on 16th and H Streets with Israeli and American flags. Vega was approached by an Arab who began engaging in a very productive conversation with him. However, as more pro-Palestinian protesters marched by them, some engaged in violent acts against him. (This is where the video begins recording.) He was punched, pulled, kicked, and even spat on.

The mob was screaming “Allahu Akbar!” during the attack. The spat on him, kicked him and punched him in the face.

MUST SEE VIDEO>>>

More on the attack here.

Pro-Israel protesters were later evacuated from in front of the White House for their own safety.

Kristinn — thank you for all you do for this nation and our values.

I second that!

The pipe and the bicycle chain would be used how?

If it sounds like a dumb question, I apologize, but I am a woman, so I don’t have any knowledge of fighting techniques. Thinking, though, that I ought to learn some for what is coming.

How would you use the chain? Wrap around your fist like brass knuckles?

@Patton...

How would that work???

@itssme...

I have seen nothing in the news or any other report that says no one was taken into custody either...That does not mean it hasn’t happened though...

This entire situation has been simmering and coming to a slow boil for quite some time, and no one is in a position yet to do anything but take it on the chin at this point...

For our side to be in the right, which (ironically) we are, someone(s) are going to actually have to take it on the chin, be bloodied, and even die at the hands of our enemy first...That is an unfortunate truth...

Does that mean we give them an opportunity to take that live (lives)???

Personally, I think we have already met that criteria, but that fact is still left to be discovered by those giving the propaganda edge to our enemies...So we are not going to have a fair shake at this no matter what...

So, what is the solution??? We’all...That would be an excellent question...One that does not have an overall, comprehensive answer...It will be up to the individual to decide that for themselves, and you might not find good counsel with anyone, even close relatives, friends, neighbors, and others you might have common beliefs with...

One thing is for sure...We can be smarter than them, and not get caught up in large or even small groups of like minded people, or opposition to our side of the issue...Not like this situation...That had this outcome written in wet concrete, it was going to be a mess regardless of who it was to be determined to be in the right here...

Ask yourself this question...

Why was it the Law Enforcement showed up and the Pro Pali’s got kinda quiet when they (cops) rolled up???

And...

Did you see one cop go to anyone to start the interview with any of the Pali’s there??? I didn’t see it...I stand to be corrected if I missed that...

The Law went right to the catalyst of the scuffle...That’s right...Right to the Marine in question...

Was Sargent Vega wrong??? Not by the law, not by his rights as a citizen of this country, not at all...

But the other side didn’t see it that way, and they knew what they had to do the second he (Vega) was noticed...

The Law Enforcement knew this was likely to occur, they knew what to separate and diffuse the second they rolled up...

So everything running in the back of your mind is correct...The deck IS stacked against us in certain ways...

Overt confrontation, in single, or even small groups, will get this result almost every time...

I believe in the end our side, as a social, economic and politically conservative force should prevail...But the times now are a test of our patience, our resolve to correct, and to do things in the right way...

If you want to fight, I can dig it...Most people would be right there with you...

But really, we are NOT quite there yet...Close, but not quite...

Go back and remember what Yamamoto said after Pearl Harbor...that guy had it right, and his assessment was right dead on, and an honorable assessment...His country DID wake a sleeping giant...And after we whooped them, what happened???

They became one of our staunchest allies in the region...

The enemy we face today has no honor, scruples or virtue...The enemy is foreign AND domestic...And they are ready to pounce on us like a Thanksgiving turkey...

We need to pick our battles...

Just my opinion...

Not a dumb question because a chain or club or anything that needs training is not your best defensive weapon. Although I was trained with a PR24 club while Shore Patrol in Navy, I would rather have had a stun gun and/or pepper spray.

Again, Knuckle Buster in your pocket or purse. Check it out. Inexpensive and effective enough where you can stun and run!

I agree with you. We have to know when to hold em’, and we have to know when to fold em’, as the song goes. There should be a strategy to every encounter we have with the left.

The jihadists have peaked, and they know it. I have a pretty good idea why various alleged conservatives bay and moan about the continuous outbreaks of muzzie-on-muzzie civil wars, but no one in their right mind opposes it. No matter what else they do, in a muzzie civil war, everyone wins.

Object to the 14th consecutive century of atrocities, oppression, and murder of Christians in muzzie countries? Short of sending US troops to secure enclaves for Christian refugees to thrive in, and shedding our dearest blood in the process, there’s no solution.

Ideally the Christians would defend themselves with whatever arms give them enough firepower — but the only place that has ever happened is Lebanon, and they didn’t prevail. Many emigrated.
