The Violent Side of the Left Shows Again
Read this story (courtesy of “smash” at Michelle Malkin’s blog) and you will see how moonbats in Canada treated a 27 year old war hero from Afghanistan; Master Cpl. Collin Fitzgerald. The original story is here. Fitzgerald was at a bar in his hometown of Morrisburg when he was the victim of a “sneak attack” by people he claimed he didn’t even know:
“He says he'd been in the bar only about 20 minutes late Friday, visiting with a childhood friend who introduced him to people as a war hero, when he was suddenly struck from behind with some type of object. Four men jumped him and began beating on him. "They were saying 'What kind of hero are you now?'," Fitzgerald's mother Arlene told CTV News. Bystanders pulled the attackers off Fitzgerald and his friends drove him to hospital.”
Unfortunately, attacks like this are not unheard of here in the United States either. There are far more idiots out there than the four who attack Cpl. Fitzgerald, and some of them feel a need to help the “oppressed” get even. Most leftist rallies are a hodge-podge of political groups, encompassing ideologies like anarchists, communists, socialist groups, environmental and animal “rights” groups, some of them on the extreme radical fringe. Those of us who have come in close contact with the left know that though they give lip service to peace in their signs, chants, and slogans, actual peace is the last thing on their minds. I have personally been to a march in Washington DC some time ago and seen first-hand how physically vicious the left can be to dissenters. In one instance a close friend was attacked by two women who participated in a NOW-sponsored march. The assailants waited for some of us to leave and assaulted her, pushing her into her car and verbally threatening her. All of this, for nothing more than her presenting a counter-view to the left’s side of an issue.
By no means do I use this to discourage anyone from coming out and showing the left that they don’t speak for all Americans with their ridiculous rhetoric about any issue, be it the war, taxation, social issues, or their blind support of political candidates. What I am saying is that you should not trust all the motives and flowery speeches of those who purport to want peace. Some of them are very dangerous people; ones who should not be allowed into the realm of a political debate. I will whole-heartedly participate in the Gathering of Eagles this Saturday in Washington DC. What I would like for everyone to do who does come, is to think seriously about who is around you. Keep a safe distance from those around you who present a “differencing opinion” than yours – especially if they are particularly agitated or verbally abusive. Travel in groups as much as possible and keep security and safety on your mind at all times. Those who have cell phones, keep them charged up, and on your person at all times, and don’t be afraid to use them. If you feel afraid or cornered, escape and/or call for help. I would much rather see you alive in one piece than to let an anarchist or “Black Bloc” terrorist know that they injured a counter-protester in a crime that may never be punished. I want to see everyone back safely on Saturday night with lots of pictures and stories to tell. See you at the memorial.
