"Peace Activists" Slap Female Blogger Twice--Encourage Others to Violence" PDF E-mail
Written by Melanie Morgan   
Sunday, 23 March 2008

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:

As you noticed, she is taking legal action against the self-proclaimed peaceful slapper of women.

Veteran for peace, don't cross me or I'll slap your face if you are a woman or smaller than me.

I'll be updating this post shortly.

There’s going to come the day when some of these moonbats go too far, and somebody on our side snaps. The results will not be pretty, and almost certainly spun against us, but you know it’s going to happen—in fact, they’re probably hoping for it. (Except that they’re hoping the ass-kicking happens to somebody else in their peace group, of course!)

Oh, and may I say to Skye...NOT GUILTY!!!

I’d have to go make a separate search for these provisions if there are any...

But in the state of Pennsylvania are there any provisions in the state law for citizens to place under arrest those who commit crimes of assault (or assault by contact)???

Could there be any local ordinances that could help in cases like this...

It is a touchy subject and is fraught by as equal jeopardy to the arresting party to the degree of illegal detainment(s)...

I’d check and make sure, but this seems like it would be called for...

This is the updated story from Melanie's website.

I think she was still tweaking the article when I posted it her.

Spree at Digital Journal has the complete story, and yes, the brazenness of the 'peace' crowd grows even more shocking in Chicago.

...meanwhile, back in Philadelphia

...The Peace Slapper being slapped with handcuffs.

Move America Forward is going to press forward with a demand to the United States Marshall Service, Homeland Security, and the U.S. Justice Department to start ARRESTING AND PROSECUTING THESE PEOPLE!

Thankfully in this case the attacker is such a bitter hateful person with not enough sense to talk to the cops and instead resisted, and therefore was arrested.

The Citizen Reporter who was assaulted goes to this event to document it with pictures and videos.

Hopefully she has some incriminating evidence with copies as she is considering legal action against this coward.

I mentioned copies because if she doesn't keep some, the evidence could mysteriously disappear as in some areas the authorities are in cahoots with those that break the laws against our citizens and Military (example: Berkeley, CA.)

Yea, stevie-d do whatever research you can!

So think of it as a scalp massage with a crowd control baton!

Thanks for the grammar info guys.

Oh and yea, real men don't hit women. This guy is obviously a bitter old crudge who can't dialog so he strikes out and harms a woman like the liberal loser that he is.

Yes, and in Viet Nam John Kerry has his picture in a communist hall of fame on the wall, celebrated as a hero there.

There is a neat video with a "reporter" asking him questions as they walk down a hall, done just recently.

I think it was a Jon Stewart produced video.

Take it from me: do not let anyone slap you and get away with it. You should have spun around and cold-clocked that thing.

It wasn't me, it was a hot blonde chick.

I am sure the cowardly slapper moved away quite quickly to avoid being caught or retaliated against.

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.

Bob, I have no problem with anything you've stated at your blog. (entry included below) I expect no less from Patriots, and I'd feel safe anyday alongside men & women like you.

I was raised with USMC values and I wear my Brat title as a badge of honor. My tagline "Set the example" is one of the Marine Corps Leadership Principles instilled in me from a very young age which has become a way of life for me:

* Know yourself and seek self-improvement

* Be technically and tactically proficient

* Develop a sense of responsibility among your subordinates

* Make sound and timely decisions

* Set the example <-- My tagline

* Know your Marines and look out for their welfare

* Keep your Marines informed

* Seek responsibility and take responsibility for your actions

* Ensure assigned tasks are understood, supervised, and accomplished

* Train your Marines as a team

* Employ your command in accordance with its capabilities

USMC oohRah-3

concretebob's blog entry (words edited with **)
At this point, I am asking that from now on, NO ONE is to be alone in any situation. We have got to watch each other's backs at all times.

Do not allow yourself to be seperated from the crowd, and do not engage these people, because they are obviously becoming unstable and un-predictable.

What pi**es me off is that this scum sucking piece of leftist excrement chose the one person who he thought was the weakest. Well, he picked the wrong one this time. This young Lady is a friend and a Patriot.

I'm putting you a**clowns and your posse on notice: If you screw with my friends, I will take your cowardly a** down, I will not warn you, I will not announce my intentions. I will take my baton and I will wear your a** out. That is not a threat, it is a PROMISE!!!!

Twice? I DARE one of 'em to try to slap me ONCE! Just once is all it would take!

I have NO doubt of that my friend!

You could've and would've kicked his skinny little a** big time.

I don't think the guy Gold Star dad Mark landed on so hard he got a mouthful of dirt and grass on Feb 12 in Berkeley will bother any women again like he did making the mistake of harassing our Melanin Morgan.

You go girl!
