PARKLAND, Wash. -- The Pierce County Sheriff's Department is searching for five people who allegedly attacked a uniformed National Guardsmen walking along 138th Street in Parkland Tuesday afternoon.
The soldier was walking to a convenience store when a sport utility vehicle pulled up alongside him and the driver asked if he was in the military and if he had been in any action.
The driver then got out of the vehicle, displayed a gun and shouted insults at the victim. Four other suspects exited the vehicle and knocked the soldier down, punching and kicking him.
“And during the assault the suspects called him a baby killer. At that point they got into the car and drove off and left him on the side of the road,” Detective Ed Troyer with the Pierce County Sheriff’s Department told KIRO 7 Eyewitness News.
The suspects were driving a black Chevy Suburban-type SUV.
“This is something new for us, we have not had military people assaulted because they were in the military or somebody's opposition to a war or whatever,” Troyer said.
The driver is described as a white male, 25-30 years old, 5 feet 10 inches tall, heavy build, short blond hair, wearing a black T-shirt and jeans, and armed with a handgun.
The vehicle's passengers are described as white males, 20-25 years old. Some of the suspects wore red baseball hats and red sweatshirts during the attack.
The Pierce County Sheriff's Department is offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and charging of the individuals involved. Informants can call 253-591-5959, and callers will remain anonymous.
My son was spit on at Fort Rich in 2003 by a stinking protester when he was in uniform at the base entrance.
How much you want to bet these guys were some community college "activists?"
If this isn't a hoax. I'm pretty cynical though.
As long as you don't call me "Late for happy hour" that's fine with me. =)
Send 'em to Gitmo when they're caught.
bump
Seattle area DUmmie scumbag cowards.
Parkland is close to Ft. Lewis and these turkeys better be careful they don't run into a group soldiers off base or they might not be able to pull something like this again. Hopefully that will happen.
Woulda been had the soldier been exercising his Second Amendment rights...
indeed a good old fashioned hanging in the center of town...with their parents having to pull the lever
Sounds like DUers to me...........and it took a group of them to attack a soldier.
Those perps deserve more than a good old fashioned blanket party.
There's no need for a big search. Just stake out McDermott's office and you'll find the perps. They're probably his henchmen.
thank youso much mertha...those words could be your's...oh wait!!! I think they were!!
Either that or he gets thrown into the brig at Camp Pendleton.
I hope a lawfully armed entity finds an righteous excuse to dump these culls before their actions embolden more of their worthless ilk.
Never thought I'd need one in the USA.
Some of the suspects wore red baseball hats and red sweatshirts during the attack.
I was going to be sarcastic and say they were Wazzu cougars, but those punks are just too sick.
