"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:

I don't know what's wrong with this country. The anti war scum assault good people and good people react by calling the cops? 40 years ago there'd be hippie scum unconscious and bleeding all over the place. And no cops until time to clean up the mess.

Well, did you notice that it was pulled from this thread also?
I do believe you were asked to pull it from ebay so that it would not be available on the Internet anymore.
I amazed you don't get that, and post it again.
BTW the image is still on ebay, and apparently you don't want to have it removed or you would do as I auggested in post #96.
You're use of a situation like this to get attention and to make money is IMO a bit calloused and detrimental to the assualted lady's chances of getting her unbiased day in court.

Very insightful accounting of your court experience. Sorry you had to go through all that.
If Skye does successfully press assault charges againt her attacker I sure hope she has a very well prosecutor.

"This peaceful veteran should do some time in the Westchester jail, and find out just how much fellow prisoners LOVE men who slap women." That'd be the perfect setting for a Blanket Party! He'd never know who/what hit him.

Well, be amazed because I didn’t get it. I didn’t see it and didn’t know if it was posted here.
I spent a couple hours and finally figured out how to pull the listing.
As I told her when we exchanged email and I agreed to have it pulled, I was hoping it could get attention to raise money for her. She would have gotten the funds if it made any money on ebay. Cut me some slack.
I will ask to have it removed from this thread.
re: No. 96 - believe it or not, I don’t read everything you post.

Thanks MS. BEHAVIN
I'm happy to have found Free Republic soon after the Berkeley Council mess. It's been a enjoyable experience thusfar. I'm learning a new vocabulary, gaining insight into the anti-war groups, and practicing HTML.

For the record, Skye and I communicated during the day, and I agreed to remove the ebay item. At 5:39:29 today, I was accused of still having it posted. That is contradictory to the facts and requires a suspension of disbelief. Ebay confirmed to me that it was removed at 2:27 pm. I was happy to comply with her request and she understood that it was my intent to try to get this publicized and perhaps raise some money for some legal fees. I suspect that the authorities may not do anything about this, and it may take a civil suit. Also for the record, when I do parody political auctions on ebay, which make very little money, I give money to FR.
Skye and I are fine. I hope the controversy has ended.

"The anti war scum assault good people and good people react by calling the cops?" The cops were already on-scene just in case something happened. One fella just went over and requested assistance from a cop. There's a video somewhere on this thread...

see #80, #83 & #85 for the answer to WHY you're wrong on how to handle the situation. in this case (at least) i know what i'm talking about.
further, the BRAVE members of the DC Chapter,with whom i've been blessed to FReep with many times(i'm a member of the SC Chapter), are to be celebrated for their tenacity/morality & outright BRAVERY in the face of EVIL.
