No, the thug was a local guy, nothing related to WR, but related to the slam on FR. See for background my email to the local Fox5 (Wash, DC) station who libeled FR, as copied here: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1882357/posts?page=531#531
Don’t know anything about the MFG, but we had tension with a purported Marine vet two years ago at WR. Do you have a link to the story about MFG? Got a name or any pictures of the guy? About how old was the guy?
I got a reply from FReepers in Tucson AZ. They do a monthly FReep, heck wait a second I’ll forward. Seems that after fiftyish “marine fighter guy” backed down like the little coward he is from the Ranger whose family he threatened, he still shows up to protest but FReepers now call him “semper fraud” since for some unknown reason he no longer picks fights but argues ineffectually. Claims to have committed/witnessed Vietnam atrocities a la Kerry.
Eagles up!
