Kimmer Attacked at the Veteran's Day Parade
Friday, November 11, 2005 5:40 PM
Longtime Atlanta talkshow host on GST 640am Kim "The Kimmer" Peterson was involved in a fight with an anti-military protestor in downtown Atlanta today during the Veteran's Day Parade.
A man holding a sign blaming President George W. Bush for 9/11 had been yelling at the Military Veterans participating in the parade on Peachtree Street. There was no incident until after the event, when The Kimmer came across the protestor and words were exchanged.
The man allegedly walked up to the host's car and tried to spit on him, at which point Peterson got out of the vehicle. The man then head-butted and attacked the host and a scuffle ensued. There were only slight injuries. The Kimmer is a Marine Corps Vietnam Veteran.
I don't think I have ever heard someone who orates the passion Kimmer does about this country and the military that defends it. He is one of a kind.
It's a damn good thing Peterson got OUT of his car instead of reachin underneath his seat for the iron.
If anyone heard him break down at the end of this story on Friday....man. Let's just say it takes a lot to make a Marine cry. "Just one stinkin day. That's all we vets want, is just ONE stinkin day."
These anti-mililtary morons needs there a%%es handed to them on a regular basis. I don't think I would've been able to control myself if I saw this idiot treating a member of the service that way.
I didn't hear. Did he really break down? He deserved it. Just one stinkin' day.
Like the Kimmer said, all we ask is one stinkin' day for our vets. Just one. Leave us alone.
The candya$$ filed a police report in which he described the Kimmer as 30 yrs old, 6' 3", and 280 lbs. I guess it's hard to maintain a sense of perspective after years of trying to convince the girls that "That really is six inches."
Right. And the guy himself DID fit that description. These anarchist, anti-war wobbleheads are cowards, drunkards, pot heads and ill-educated fools.
I guess the guy is lucky he picked on an old vet. Still I find the fact that there were only slight injuries somewhat disappointing.
Years of drug abuse will also have that effect. Reality is a very difficult concept for folks like that. There grasp of it is tenuous at best.
This guy was about a foot taller than the guy he attacked. He was also about thirty-four levels below the passion that the Kimmer has for his heritage.
I don't know why these idiots insist on such insanity. You don't piss into the wind, you don't stand in front of a freight train and you sure as hell don't spit on and head butt a United States Marine immediately following a Veterans Day parade. And they think we're stupid.
there's a tagline...
Wow. And a year later he is fired! Well I don't listen to WGST on the way home anymore. Listen to Hannity instead, but he is a bit boring.
