Police who responded said both men would face disorderly conduct charges, but Brandimore said later that only the man accused of committing the assault, Casimir Krasowski, 63, of Wausau would be charged.

Thank you for finding his name. I just called and spoke to his wife. She said that they are feeling very alone right now and that here husband did not attack anyone. She said he tried to talk the protester into putting the flag away and that it was the protester, not her husband, who became violent. They currently don't have an attorney or a legal defense fund. I conveyed our best wishes and ask that she call me if they decide to accept financial assistance for their legal defense.

I just called and spoke to his wife. They sounded like a quiet, elderly couple who are very afraid. She said that they are feeling very alone right now. She explained that husband did not attack anyone and that their portrayal in the press has been grossly unfair. She said that her husband tried to talk the protester into putting the flag away and that it was the protester, not her husband, who became violent.

They currently don't have an attorney or a legal defense fund. I conveyed our best wishes and ask that she call me if they decide to accept financial assistance for their legal defense. I will keep you all posted and please freep-mail me if any of you have any other ideas about how we can help.
