"Peace Activists" Slap Female Blogger Twice--Encourage Others to Violence" |

Many times I have been threatened with violence, as well as our staff at Move America Forward. We simply shrug off the danger, and continue with our work to support our troops. 'Skye' at MidnightBlue.com wasn't so lucky yesterday in Philadelphia, Pa. She was slapped TWICE by so-called 'peace activists'. Video verifying 'Skye's' account coming shortly. And photos. 'Skye' with Michelle Malkin.
Skye with Larry Bailey of Gathering of Eagles.
She sent me two e-mails. Here's the first. Melanie,
I am saddened to report this:
Saturday around 12:10 PM, a member of the Chester County Peace Movement (CCPM) slapped a woman twice ( that would be me) who was videotaping an exchange between the two opposing groups. Police were called and an officer arrived at 12:15 PM and announced to the crowd that he was conducting an investigation.
The CCPM member was pointed out to police and the officer told the man to come forward and the man refused. The guy was totally uncooperative, belligerent and would not go with the officer. When he shoved the officer, the officer's partner took him to the ground to be handcuffed. The guy continued to resist while on the ground and the peace movement folks surrounded the officers, some as close as a foot or so away.
Photos at the bottom of http://picasaweb.google.com/rgc1946/WestChesterMarch222008 show this quite clearly.
I've prided myself in my professional conduct at this rally and to be struck twice by a 'peace' protester who has been present since the time I began covering this rally is truly disturbing.
Sincerely, Skye
Since Skye and I corresponded, here's the second, more disturbing report where the 'Peace Activists' blatantly lie about what happened.Melanie,
I will always stand by behind out brave men and women in the military. Always and Always.
This has gotten worse since I emailed you...
I've gotten hold of a copy of the after action report from the peace protesters. Their leader, Karen Porter, condones the attack and sends a message that it is okay to hit us.
Sorry for the scrawled email, I am near tears.
Here is the the text for your perusal.
Some of you were at our vigil today, some weren't. Very briefly, here's what happened (and we have it all on film by several people):
One of our vigilers had a verbal conflict with a counterprotestor who has for six months constantly harassed many of us (including me). We ended that, but it started again; and we called the police. The police came and had a conflict with the peace vigiler who had the original conflict. The police arrested him, and another one of our folks, attempting to support the first vigiler, got involved in a conflict with the police - and the police thereupon arrested him. Several of us went to the WC Police Headquarters. Both vigilers were released after about 45 minutes.
I will not go into more detail for legal reasons. Plus, I was so busy trying to divert the crowd that I didn't see it all. Luckily, a lawyer was at our peace vigil, went to the police station with them, and has offered to represent them both. The entire affair is now in the hands of lawyers.
If you have any doubt about the fact that the counterprotestors are probably celebrating tonight, see what they think of us:

Why is this a surprise? The hallmark of liberal behavior is that believe that they are better than you and know more than you and will enforce their ideals on you by any means necessary, including force. The ends always justify the means, and the motivations always trump the result. Thus the tendency toward wifebeating (Alec Baldwin et al) and general violence (Sean Penn et al). Authoritarianism is simply a very basic character trait of being liberal, just like those who torture animals are more likely to become serial killers.

I’m so disgusted.
What a COWARD!
They actually tied to defend this fool?
There is NO excuse for hitting a woman!
NONE!
Period end of sentence.
Stay safe, and stay together!

The lefftist POS in the beret leaning over is a member of VVAW and was running a video camera during the "hearings"
He approached me about 0730 Friday morning while I was sitting in my pick up waiting for the Eagles to show up, and asked if I wanted to do an interview.
We had already established ground rules about interviews, which were, if you wanted to talk to a reporter, have someone else with you taping the the same interview.
I declined and told him to come back 0800.
He was baiting and leading one of the young soldiers inside trying to get him to say things that weren't true or correct.
In fairness to the young soldier, he never took the bait.
You can see that video on the USVets Dispatch site.
Sorry I don't have a link right now.

Thanks for that info.
Good tactics on your part.
They are good at editing to produce lies and make us look bad.
Thanks for your other post also, your blog comment is right on.

Where I come from, men who hit women soon learn what a Blanket Party is all about. Granted that couldn’t happen on a street corner, but he’s not always in the company of his supporters.

Having been through this, and court, too, perhaps I can provide a little history and advice.
Liberals have an extensive network of superpowered lawyers who will show up for any charge, no matter how small, with no fee for the attacking liberal. Their overall strategy is to object to any and every statement in court no matter how silly it is, and attack the victim as much as possible.
They will ask for all sorts of leeway in grilling the victim of the attack, and question all political history connected to the victim they can dig up on the internet, including here (Hi, lawyers.)
Part of their plan is to let the judge know that they are going to waste as much of the court's time as possible, and appeal, appeal, appeal as high as they can go.
I think my judge knew the moonbat attacked me (his confession was thrown out due to Miranda not being read before he talked) but basically dismissed it on reasonable doubt because we all knew Mr. Super Free Lawyer was going to take it to the limit.
The Assistant DA Prosecuter was totally flummoxed by the wacky high powered lawyer, and only got a few good ones in, even though I had warned her what to expect. She didn't subpeona any witnesses, even though she had 4-5 names! Here's some things I wish I had thought of later.
I don't know if it's possible to do this, but I wished I had my own lawyer to object in court to the moonbat lawyer's many freaky statements and lies. The prosecutor could have objected far more than she did.
If you have to testify as the victim, talk to the head DA if you can and ask him/her to take charge of the case, explaining you are going to be vicimized a second time. Don't take no for an answer.
Make copies of all videos and files that you have and keep them with you at court events to produce. Ask the DA to get you or tell you how to get a transcript of every court action so you can blog what's going on.
Don't depend on the DA's office to get your witnesses. You call them and get them to court, make a list and hand the list to the prosecutor.
Sneer and laugh at the liberal lawyer in overly dramatic tones if he does that to you. When he objects, ask the judge why it's ok for the lawyer to use sneering tones but not you. Possibly he will tell both of you to stop, and that may get the liberal lawyer to stop.
The liberal lawyer will mispronounce your name on purpose to get you mad and show the judge you provoked the attack. Don't get mad, just do the same to him if he starts doing it. If his name is Smith, call him Mr. Sith. Next time, Mr. Snit. You get the idea.
Some funny paraphrased highlights as I remember from my case:
Lawyer: So, you think my client is some sort of moonbat, is that it!?
(I tried to explain the term, I should have just said what I said to another question later. Score for the lawyer.)
Laywer: So, you think my client is a sign-hating liberal, is that correct!?
Me: Based on his actions, yes. (Score one for me)
Lawyer: You think all people who are against the war are Communists, right?
Me: No, I don't think that.
Lawyer(Pounce mode): But your sign says that!
Me: (Playing with him) No it doesn't.
Lawyer: It says...something about Communism.
Me: It reads "Say No To Communism" which refers to no particular person.
Lawyer: But you think my client is a Communist!
Me: I have no idea.
Lawyer: So why do you have that sign?
Me: Some people at the rally are Communists.
Lawyer: Aha, so you think some of the people are Communists!
Me: Yes, many people told me they were Communists.
Lawyer: They....told....you.... (changed the subject)
Now, how is all this relevant to some guy I wasn't even talking to charging out of the crowd and attacking me? It's completely irrelevent! But the judge allowed it. I'm just saying, be prepared. My case took 4-5 hours for a misdemeanor! Perhaps some real lawyers can chime in. I'm not a lawyer and this is for entertainment purposes only.

Thanks for the photo, Syncro. This “peaceful veteran” should do some time in the Westchester jail, and find out just how much fellow prisoners LOVE “men” who slap women.

"These types will start something and if you hit back, they will try their best to only document the self defense action and press charges. Scum de la scum." Might I suggest these Sun Glasses Camera it would be an awesome way to catch these yahoos in the act!

This will make me think twice about taking my girls on a FReep if these nut cases are around. We don't need them to be more bold with these behaviors. They need to be afraid of us...very afraid. This is where "good guys" in great numbers is as asset.

Skye shouldn't need a defense fund, just assistance from us for copying, courier fees, etc.
Just my $.02

PLEASE do NOT come to one of the FReeps unless/until you can control your impulse to return violence for violence. when/if you "hit back" the main-SLIME media will ALWAYS blame YOU & the other folks of FR.
fyi, i've been "in charge of security" since 2000 at MANY FReeps & have seen MANY FReepers "keep their cool" in FAR WORSE circumstances.
just my opinion.
