"He started taunting me and reached out and pushed on my shoulder," Preckshot says. "Each time he pushed, it got a little harder. When I saw his hand come at me again, I grabbed it. I felt fearful."
As Preckshot pushed the man’s hand away, "he slugged me right in the face," she says.
Perhaps "Punch for peace" would have been a more appropriate sign.
The man, Paul Allaire, doesn’t live in Boone County. He lists Arcadia as his home, though he’s a frequent attendee at the Wednesday protests. He has been charged with third-degree misdemeanor assault for his alleged attack on Preckshot.
In that regard, Preckshot has no complaints.
What does confound her, however, is why her weekly adversaries weren’t more helpful when police came to the scene.
After the incident, Preckshot went to a nearby gas station to call the police, and they quickly arrived to take statements.
None of the peace activists, however, would give up Allaire.
she should be a FReeper! ..... oh wait - I think she is a FReeper. A top shelf FReeper at that.
Total Hypocrasy!
"We want PEACE..
Tow the party line or we'll kick your @ss!"
And they'll justify the use of violence to achieve peace...
Dems/Libs/commies...the same the world over...
maybe there is a FreeRepublic Purple Heart that should be awarded.
I sincerely hope this 'peaceful' man gets to spend some time in a lockup and becomes the 'piece full' man.
What a brave woman. Any man who punches a woman is worse than despicable.
Domestic traitors are a greater threat to this country than any international terrorist.

"In her heart, she believes most of the peace protesters feel the same way, even if they come down on a different side of the ideological spectrum."
She's being too kind.
Most of these "Peace" activists are Crypto-Communists, Neo-Bolsheviks and nihilists who hate the west and everything it stands for.
They should go to Mecca or Tehran and protest.
Some hero, punching out a little 52 year old lady. Too bad she didn't have any guys with her like the guys who beat up the pie-throwers who attacked Ann Coulter.
I would have allowed the punk to approach me. Maybe even push me. Had he swung at me, I would have stomped him into a puddle and pissed in it.
The beatings should continue until the Pro-War group learns what peace means.....
Ping.
She should be nicknamed Rita "double-ought" Preckshot.
A. Islamist cowards who set of bombs at schools and hijack passenger airliners.
B. Peacniks who attack people expressing their free speech rights.
...........birds of a feather flock together.
Ping to make sure that you see this. Thanks for all your fine efforts.
What a bunch of hypocrites!
ping! to a truly classic story of our American times.
