My e-mail box is over-flowing with alarming news from Pa. where the Gathering of Eagles witnessed a 14-year old boy attacked by Peace Thugs.
This news is so disturbing and so typical, that a website has now been established to document this intensifying level of violence against patriotic Americans. Peace Thugs Exposed!
Dan Maloney, my friend and GOE NY Coordinator writes about this outrage.

Iraq War Veteran and Family Assaulted!
April 22, 2008
Peace Fascists, College Professors and Hillary Supporters assault Iraqi War Veteran and Family while citizens do nothing to intervene.
Edinboro, PA, Apr. 22
For the second time in as many weeks, an Iraq War Veteran and his family held a Support the Troops rally across the street from the weekly “peace” protest in this college town. This week the true nature of the ‘peace’ activists was revealed for all to see. When the veteran’s 14 year old son crossed the street to videotape the protesters and their signs, the protesters became agitated and began harassing the boy. The right to record video in any public venue is long established in law and any attempt to interfere with that right is a violation of civil rights.
Seeing the escalating tension across the street, the veteran and his wife crossed over, leaving their three youngest children on the other side for safety while they went to retrieve their eldest son. Two of the female ‘peace’ protesters then attacked the veteran’s wife. When the veteran pulled one of those attackers off his wife he was jumped by four or five of the ‘peace’ people and knocked to the ground where they held him while beating him and smashing his eyeglasses.
The son pulled the remaining attacker off his mother, but the attacker managed to get in one last kick to his mother’s head with her boot. She then punched the son in his face while his mother called the police.
This all took place at a busy intersection, the mother had been knocked into the street in bumper to bumper traffic. People were visible in the windows of shops and a bar nearby. One might think someone would intervene to put a stop to the assault. One would be wrong. In a scene eerily reminiscent of the Kitty Genovese tragedy in New York, the bystanders and passers-by refused to stand up to the ‘peace’ thugs. Displaying a craven cowardice one would not have expected in middle America they would rather go on their way thankful that it was not them being assaulted. It was NOT them, today, but what about tomorrow?
When the police arrived they reviewed the video of the incident and then, astonishingly, refused to make any arrests, even when one of the ‘peace’ thugs spit in the face of the 14 year old boy right in front of the police and they did nothing! Officers, that is an assault! I don’t know where or how they train police in Edinboro but they obviously need some refresher courses!
One of the police was very aggressive toward the veteran and his family as if they were the attackers!
I think it is long past time for the people in this country to wake up to the violence of the ‘peace’ movement. I think it is long past time for them to realize that not standing up to the excesses of violence will only beget more violence.
Last Fourth of July, in New Jersey, one of these ‘peace’ people walked up to a young veteran of the War in Iraq and Afghanistan and shot him in the heart just because he was in the military. Last month another person or persons unknown detonated an improvised explosive device at the Armed Forces Recruiting Station in Times Square. Today a veteran and his family were assaulted in plain daylight on a public street in view of dozens of people and not one lifted a hand to help. This is not the America I grew up in. This is the Amerika the ‘peace’ crowd is bringing to your town and neighborhood.

It is past time for the American people to wake up to what is going on in this country and actively defend our Troops and country!
“To insinuate that he had no right to cross the street in Small Town, USA simply because there were a few commie thugs there is appalling and part of the mind set that has brought us to our knees.”
No one said he had no right. Just questioned the intellect and parenting skills on display.
LOLOL! I’m sure the debate will come.
Yes and in the case of the leftist supposed peace activists they pull these stunts when they have a large number of them to inflame each other, I guess it’s the mob mentality.
It happened a few months back at Evergreen State College in Olympia, the mob of leftists attacked police and destroyed and damaged several police vehicles on campus after a concert of some sort.
They were upset with police and campus officials because they weren’t left to control their own trouble makers. Sheesh!
Well I can tell you for certain that writer is wrong about the stories starting ten years after Vietnam. Those accounts started during the Vietnam war while we still had our military fighting and dying there.
From 71 to about 75 I had a coworker who was an Army veteran and had done a tour in Nam, when we’d hear of those incidents we’d both come unglued.
I’ve read some of the propaganga that it never happened and I believe it’s bunk.
Refer to recently: Berkeley, CA
Now, this attack on a child of an Iraq Veteran.
Time to put these so-called "peace activists" in their place... at minimum ... arrest, book, and charge them with a crime.
Thanks for the ping.
That's beautiful, it's great to see the look on a moonbats face when surprised after they've said something like that to someone that doesn't go along with their marxist thinking.
You're right, everyone that can get out on Memorial Day should go to an event.
I live in rural farmland NC near the appalachian mtns.
>>>>This is the Amerika the ‘peace’ crowd is bringing to your town and neighborhood.<<<<<<
I would advise highly against that......
Another thread and perspective on this assault has been posted here!
Though I hate to jump in on anothers exchange I have to give a big second to that, Justa!
Bump
This tactic was used by Ivan the Terrible- enable the bandits and punish the people until the people are defeated.
“I heard one of the talking heads say there will be war if Obama/Beast does not get the WH.”
Well that’s veering dangerously close to treason... ;-)
What a ridiculous statement. I’d say more violence is likely if one of them IS elected.
"Refresher courses"?!! EXCUSE the Hell outta me, but what they need is to be stripped of their badges, fired, and left to become freakin' DISH WASHERS and FLOOR SCRUBBERS in some seedy diner out on a remote stretch of disused state highway in the Dakotas.
THAT is what these "police" REALLY need!!
America has NO USE WHATSOEVER for idiots like that presuming to wear the badge.
NONE.
CAN 'EM ALL!!
Speaking of that, I was talking to a retired AF Chief one time and he told me a little story about coming back from Vietnam. He said when his flight landed back in the US there were protesters waiting in line at the airport jawing and spitting at the troops. He told me that there was this huge Marine in front of him and one of the female peaceniks spit in his direction. The old chief said without missing a beat the Marine revved back and decked the stupid broad.
What does it take to be able to attend the convention?
Very apt descriptive concise analysis of the country! Unfortunately, the USA didn't "wake up" in the '60's and '70's when we were run by the communists and it's unlikely to wake up in the 21st century as the communists 'prepare to take over' again! Fortunately, we 'opened one eye' for a second in November, 2004 and kept the presumed communist at the time from his appointed coronation ceremony. Michael More, Sorros, et al won't let that happen again! If you line up the 'jack booted thug agencies', the State Dept, BATF, CIA, DEA, TSA, et al outnumber the military, so they won't help! The 'reason for the season' (30+ years of silence by veterans) will return to a neighborhood near you. Buy ammo!
As a union thug, Govner Ruindell thanks you for your compliment!
