FReepre Report: Pro-Isreal US Rally Unites Hundreds in Fresno

6-9=2002 | me

[gracie1]

It was a wonderful way to spend a cool evening by the bluffs of the San Joaquin river. A local organization, The Middleeast Connection, held a rally in Woodward Park in Fresno, CA last night to show the community that what Israel fights against is the same extremism that our country is now facing. We were treated to a wide range of experts in middle eastern affairs and political and commentators who spoke about our common goals, enemies, culture and faith in God.

List of speakers:

Dr Bruce Thornton, California State University Fresno

Bill Manders, Author and Broadcaster KMJ Radio

Gen Shimon Erem IDF (ret)

There were some great speakers! One of the speakers, however, spoke way too long. He was one of those hell fire and brimstone type preachers, thinking he had a captive audience of Jews to preach to. It was sickening! He went on and on and on. It was sooooooo RUDE!!! People started leaving. Don't you just hate it when that happens? For victory & freedom!!!

[Saundra Duffy]

Thanks for the great photos, Chris and "The Boss". For victory & freedom!!!

[Jim Robinson]

Heh, heh. Enjoyed the event very much regardless of the long-winded one. The organizers should keep a stage hook handy for these rare circumstances.

The rally organizers had provided for GREAT SECURITY. They had these young people - both male and female - with walkie-talkies who were making sure that no trouble got started. Actually, though, it was FReeper Lager who was the first one to DEMAND that the opposition be kept away from the rally. After Lager went belly-to-belly with one of them, shoving him back down the hill and into the parking lot, Lager was joined by the young Jewish security people and they formed kind of a "fire wall" to keep them away from us. After the police arrived, the police kept the pro terrorists away from us. And I let my granddaughters have a little more freedom to run and play. It was a great rally. Lager is my hero. For victory & freedom!!!

Lager, checking in. Saundra, I and our two grand daughters arrived early only to find a pack of fascist Jew haters unloading pre-printed manufactured signs out of a truck to hand out to their filthy lying thugs. These signs said that they want to stop the war-find common ground-etc. The creeps are getting their asses kicked so now they want "peace and common ground". Anyway, the slimey slugs had the mistaken notion that they could invade our territory with their filthy lies.

After sending Saundra and the girls up the hill, I picked out the biggest creep, got in his face, stood my ground and demanded that they get off the area reserved by our rally. They didn't seem to want to so I just walked into the creep untill he was back at the parking lot. I think they were shocked that someone would actually physically stop them. Someone else from our group called the cops and soon the filthy liars were relegated to the dirt hole next to the parking lot.

I wanted the young Jewish boys who were there for security to know that they were not alone. I, and others were willing to go the distance, whatever it took, to insure the safety and the right to assemble for people of faith. Not that I'm a tough guy, cause I'm not, I just will not stand still for this obsene, outrageous, cowardly evil to occur.

They wanted to ruin the rally. It didn't work. The rally was a huge success.

Thanks for sharing this.

You rock lager...good job buddy.

I don't believe any station really covered the rally. Channel 26 mentioned that the police had to be called because of war protestors. Channel 47 said there was a police presense due to the opposition but the event was peaceful. I understand that channel 24 reported the same thing.

[gracie1]

I guess they got a suprise that someone wasn't going to just sit and let them barge on in! Believe me, if it was the other way around, they would not think twice to muscle their way around. They will think nothing of pushing you off a curb or sticking their sign in your face.

[Saundra Duffy]

Hi, Doc. Yep. Lager gave them something to think about. Will we see you at the July 12-13 event in Fresno? You guys are welcome to crash at our pad again if you want to. The upstairs is a little more habitable than when you were here but it's still not finished. Anyway, you are welcome. For victory & freedom!!!

[Saundra Duffy]

Too bad about lack of media coverage. Oh, well. What's important is that we were there to support our neighbors. Amen. For victory & freedom!!!

[Saundra Duffy]

BUMP for Post #8 - the Israeli retired General!

[Saundra Duffy]

Bump for Post #25 - Lager's report about the confrontation. For victory & freedom!!!

[Saundra Duffy]

It was great, wasn't it? It felt sooooo good to be a part of that event. Yahoo! For victory & freedom!!!

[vance]

BTTT.

[Saundra Duffy]

Thanks for the BUMP! Tonight - Tuesday 6/11 - Sacramento - FReep the Jew Haters at 16th & J, 4 to 6 p.m. For victory & freedom!!!
