Edinboro Pennsylvania’s Outrageous Attack On Iraq War Vet and His Family

A few days ago I blogged the story of the vicious gang assault by “peace” protesters on an Iraq war veteran, his wife and their 14-year-old son. The Gathering of Eagles N.Y. chapter has been following this story and have some disturbing updates along with video of the attack on the family.

They still haven’t released the names of the villains, but the G.O.E. has now identified the two men involved in the beating as being from the Sociology department of Edinboro University. Here’s their description of the contents of the video, which I encourage you to watch for yourselves:

A man in a wheelchair comes forward and begins taunting the veteran. The veteran steps away from the wheelchair and places his sign on the ground leaning against his leg as he holds his flag.

The veterans sign is actually placed where it is not visible from the street. There is another American flag being held by one of the professors, so the presence of his flag does not interfere with their protest either.

Now the woman in white, who has been continuously badgering the Veteran’s son, uses the guise of moving a blue tupperware bin in front of his sign to mask her intent to grab it.
Grab it she does and throws it into the street. When the veteran goes to retrieve it she stands on top of the sign and taunts him to strike her.

She has now stolen his property and incited riot.

The veteran pulls his sign from beneath the woman’s boots while his wife comes over to interject her body between him and the woman.

The veteran walks back toward the sidewalk while a second woman, in a green shirt, comes charging up to the veterans wife and strikes her with the red sign she is carrying. The veteran’s wife moves her arm in a protective motion to fend off the sign and fend off this new woman.

The sign then strikes the woman in white.

At this point both women pile on the veteran’s wife punching and kicking. The wife, wearing an inflatable cast due to a leg injury, is caught off balance and falls to the ground. The veteran seeing what is happening spins around and grabs the woman in green to restrain her. In the meantime the woman in white continues to punch and kick the wife on the ground.

Several male protesters grab the veteran and push him to the ground. Punches are reported to have been thrown by these protesters although they are not recorded on this video. The video stops for a minute while the son pulls the woman in white off his mother. The video resumes in time to catch a last kick the woman in white makes to the head of the veteran’s wife. This is one of the blows that caused the concussion the wife suffered.

The camera pans around and the veteran can be seen on the ground, still restraining the woman in green, while the male protester in yellow is gripping both sides of the collar of his shirt from behind in the manner of a garrot around his neck. His hat and glasses are gone. The glasses were smashed in the street.

The woman in white then approaches the veteran as he releases the woman in green and appears to launch an attack against him while he is restrained. She then wheels around and assaults the son, who is still videotaping, in a graphic exhibition of the violence endemic to ‘peace’ thugs. This recorded assault on a juvenile should have produced an immediate arrest by the police officers reviewing the video, yet they did nothing.

The video ends with the parting remark of the woman in white “You got what you wanted you f_cks!”

Shocking, unless you’ve met peace protesters. The cops arrive on the scene and do worse than nothing, they take the “peace” protesters’ side and allow the assault to continue:

The two policemen arrived on the scene after the open hostilities had ended. One of the officers arrived with an attitude and that attitude did not improve throughout the time he was there or later at the police station. He allowed the protesters to taunt the veteran in his presence unhindered and then threatened to arrest the veteran when he responded verbally to the taunts. When the woman in white was called across the street by the police, and she took the opportunity to spit on the veteran, he did not threaten to arrest her. When he reviewed the video from the veteran’s son’s camera he decided that no one was going to be arrested even when it was pointed out to him that the lady in white had blatantly attacked a juvenile. Later in the police station this officer again displayed outright hostility to the veteran and threatened to handcuff him for inquiring why the woman wasn’t arrested for the assault on his son.

The favorable treatment given to this woman begs the question. Who is she and what is her relationship to the police officers or any public person in the Borough of Edinboro?

Updated: 4/26/2008. The woman in white has been identified as a student at Edinboro University

The G.O.E. and those covering this story, including Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly who did a segment on the story last night, seem perplexed as to the preferential treatment rich White liberals get from police in a college town. Let me explain.

Edinboro is reliant on the spoiled, priggish children of what even shallow liberals call The Worst Generation for its livelihood. Edinboro authorities, in collusion with the local University, pamper these overgrown toddlers because it’s good for business. I lived in such towns while an undergrad and later while receiving my Master’s and they’re all the same.

The protest was irrelevant to the cops’ shameful treatment of the veteran.  I’ve seen rich kids get away with buying drugs in front of cops, male college students get away with hitting women, colleges and police covering up rape and assaults and even have personal knowledge of a case of a famous east coast liberal arts college covering up child pornography.

The young, peaceful liberal is a myth dreamed up by people who romanticize the self-absorbed, drug-addicted nihilists that were spawned by parents who didn’t love their kids enough to care if they grew up to be decent people. The world is full of people who make comfortable livings off the excesses of people with easy access to cash and no sense of boundaries. Edinboro is an example of both those truths.

In short, the town of Edinboro is in the tank for the University and more importantly for the damaged, selfish cretin who attend the school and flood that town with money. The cops, the mayor and even the D.A. will go to bat for these criminals, even if it means breaking the law to do so. The D.A. has already shown the family what kind of justice Edinboro metes out:

Harassment charges are being filed against the Iraq Veteran and his wife and no charges are being filed against the thugs who assaulted them. How can the District Attorney justify this travesty of justice?

He’ll justify it by counting the money in his paycheck that comes from these students drinking, drugging and fighting in his town.

I contacted the Edinboro University public relations office for a statement when this story first broke and they have no comment. The D.A. also has not commented and was accused on last night’s O’Reilly Factor of ducking the press.

This story stinks. I expect that once more light is shed on this town’s disgusting treatment of this family the charges will be dropped and the town will bend over backwards to get out of the public eye as quickly as possible.

They wouldn’t want us to find out what other crimes they’ve been covering up.

Moronic Nazi Bill White Solicits Murder of Susan Smith and Charles Johnson … Online

“Former” Communist and current Nazi Bill White has been on his Nazi Yahoo Group soliciting the murder of a Wonkette staffer named Sarah K. Smith and the sanctimonious Charles Johnson of Little Green Footballs.

I have spies literally everywhere and one of sent me this missive from White to all his lowlife friends:

From: nationalsocialistworkers
Date: Fri, Apr 25, 2008 at 2:24 PM
Subject: [nsmamerica] Action Against Sara K Smith / Wonkette
To: nsmamerica@yahoogroups.com

Comrades:

If anyone wants to hunt down this Sarah K Smith of Wonkette and conduct an action against her and her Zirkle comments, I think that would definitely be a good time.

I believe she is in the Washington, DC area, but may be on the road with some of their bloggers and the Clinton campaign. I have not yet taken the time to pinpoint her exact location, but thought it a good idea to float.

Also, the publishers of LittleGreenFootballs seem to need some attention. I have not yet started that project, but also suppose they are in the DC area.

Anyone who wants to take on this campaign, email me and let’s discuss what we can do.

Bill White, Commander
American National Socialist Workers Party

Said spy sent the letter to both LGF and Wonkette so a good time is being had by all. The threat against Johnson seems to come from some larger dust up over there, he has a post about it so you can learn more.

As to why he hates some broad Wonkette I don’t buy the Zirkle comment stuff, more like some sort of personal relationship that went south. After all Wonkette and Bill White are on the same page in regards to Asian women.

You’ll notice that White’s desire to enlist others to partake in violence, as well as his liberal use of the term “comrade” in many of his missives, seems less Skinheady and more peaceniky. That’s because he can’t escape his sissy hippy roots.

That’s right kids, Bill White of Overthrow! is a graduate of Refuse and Resist, The Revolutionary Communist Party and The Communist Party USA. Read his Wikipedia entry to see how many other unseemly associations this guy had.

Great plan Billy. Next time why don’t you take out a personal ad for a hit man in the Pennysaver. If anyone was unsure of how retarded Nazism is, just mull over Bill White’s Internet murder plot for awhile. He’ll be doing the same … from prison.

Teen Gets 30-40 *WEEKS* for Vicious Rape of 2-Year-Old

Less than a year for the most heinous crime imaginable. Way to thumb your nose at the “Red State” morality Washington:

WATERVILLE — A 15-year-old East Wenatchee boy has been sentenced to 30 to 40 weeks in state juvenile detention for the Oct. 1, 2007, rape of a 2-year-old East Wenatchee girl.

Brandon Parker pleaded guilty to first-degree child rape and was sentenced April 9 in Douglas County Juvenile Court. Parker was given credit for 42 days served. He also was sentenced to 24 months of community supervision.

What the hell is going on in Washington state? He raped a 2-year-old, he’s going to rape again. A stiffer punishment may have at least given him pause, but a slap on the wrist for what is a demonstration of inhuman evil will only embolden this serial rapist in the making.

Librarians Still Enabling Pedophiles

The following is a guest post by Jenn, a recovering librarian and occasional contributor to Red Alerts.

It’s a no-brainer. You see someone looking at child porn, you call the cops, right?

Not if you want to keep your job at the Lindsay branch of the Tulare County Library system in California.

When librarian Brenda Biesterfeld observed 39-year-old Donny Lynn Chrisler viewing naked images of boys on a Tulare County library computer station, she told her supervisor, Judi Hill. Hill’s solution was to have Biesterfeld hand Chrisler a note explaining that his behavior was not permissible and would result in banning him from the library if it happened again. Biesterfeld was told to refrain from reporting the incident to authorities.

Fortunately, Biesterfeld recognized the inappropriateness of administering the equivalent of a “time out” to a child porn-seeking pervert. She helped officers catch Chrisler in the act of viewing kiddie porn images, resulting in his arrest. He is now accused of possessing hundreds of pornographic images of children, some as young as 2 years of age.

When she told her supervisor what she had done, Biesterfeld was admonished for lack of loyalty to the County, and even threatened. Biesterfeld told Hill she was not just a county employee, but a mother and a citizen as well.

Two days later, Brenda Biesterfeld was fired, just before her employee probationary period expired.

I don’t have to explain to readers of this blog why this incident is so appalling. I’m sure all of you join me in applauding Brenda Biesterfeld as a hero, a model citizen who puts the safety of children before her career. But I do want to impress upon all of you that this type of situation is more common than you think, and is symptomatic of a larger problem with the “professional ethics” drilled into future librarians by graduate programs and the American Library Association.

I ought to know – I’ve been through it.

After college, I began working in an academic library and decided to pursue a graduate degree in Library Science. If nothing else, my indoctrination into librarianship drove home one point: never, ever give law enforcement officials information about a patron.

Those who obstruct law enforcement are deified as defenders of First Amendment rights, while those who adhere to legal mandates by cooperating with local or federal officials are pariahs in the library world. I was 22 and in love with libraries and books. Nerdy, I know, but championing First Amendment rights, actually helping to defend the American public from censorship, sounded so noble.

And I believed all this discussion of professional philosophy and information ethics was purely theoretical. Surely no pedophilic pervert would use the public access computers in the library to download kiddie porn.

And then it happened. A technically savvy coworker came to me, pale and visibly shaken, and told me he had found horrible, unspeakable images of children on a library computer. The hard drive, he said, was completely filled with movies and stills. He also said he knew who had downloaded the pornographic content.

I went with him to offer moral support as he informed our supervisor. She assured us she would handle things in consultation with the college administration.

I’m embarrassed to write this, but in all honesty, I moved on from that incident pretty quickly. Unlike my coworker, I didn’t have the images emblazoned on my very synapses, I didn’t know the identity of the person who had downloaded the vile stuff, and I had every faith that my boss, a person for whom I had great respect and admiration, would handle the situation appropriately.

I was naive.

Weeks later, I discovered that this extremely liberal east coast college had disappeared the incident. The network logs had been wiped clean, the hard drive had been destroyed, and my questions about whether the FBI had been notified were skillfully evaded.

I watched my coworker, the guy who initially found the child porn, literally make himself sick as he struggled with whether or not to circumvent the academic administration by reporting the issue directly to law enforcement. Unlike me, he wasn’t sure we should trust they had been notified. I decided he was probably right when subtly, and then not so subtly, he was pressured into resigning his position. On his last day, my coworker told me more about the guy who had downloaded the materials.

He was a student in the childhood education program.

That was the beginning of the end for my library career. Over time, I found that this was not the only point at which my personal sense of right and wrong diverged from the philosophical underpinnings of 21st century librarianship. But I’ll save those for another day.

Today my concern is that librarians continue to aid and abet pedophiles in the name of free speech and that highly dubious sweeping right to privacy that I have yet to find in the Constitution or Bill of Rights. Their mission to promote intellectual freedom by ensuring patron confidentiality nearly always seems to trump their responsibility to protect our children from pedophiles.

Librarians cite the protection of personal liberties as a reason for withholding records or failing to report crimes to law enforcement. They don’t want to provide The Man with information that might incriminate someone based on their literary proclivities – you know, like child pornography.

Isn’t it time we knocked members of the American Library Association off their high horses, or at least ripped those First Amendment cloaks from their shoulders? Here’s a thought: maybe a little critical thinking could help librarians distinguish between genuine criminal activity and odd or embarrassing taste in literature. Guided by something as simple as good judgment, librarians should be able to report those who download child pornography without inadvertently snaring law-abiding patrons in a net cast too wide.

Unfortunately, after attending library school, I can tell you unequivocally that critical thinking and good judgment are not part of the curriculum.

And that’s what makes supporting librarian heroes like Brenda Biesterfeld and decrying public library policies that enable criminality all the more important. Make it your business to find out what would happen if Donny Chrisler was downloading child porn at your library, and if necessary, stick your neck out like Brenda Biesterfeld.

Boehner: The Democrats are Goddamn Communists!

I’m paraphrasing but you know that’s what he’s getting at:

At a time when Americans face increasing costs of living, Democratic leaders are poised to give middle class families exactly what they don’t need: higher taxes and almost assuredly, even more expensive gasoline. The Democrats’ “no-energy bill” set to be debated on the House floor today would raise taxes on producers of American energy here at home, send good-paying jobs overseas, and further increase our dependence on foreign sources of energy because it doesn’t produce a single watt, barrel, or gallon of new domestic energy.

To make matters even worse, the bill does a favor for Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez by exempting his state-owned oil giant CITGO from the impact of the measure.

That’s right, Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez gets special treatment from House Democratic leaders. While Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD) propose higher taxes for middle-class Americans and their families, they are giving one of the world’s most outrageous dictators tax breaks he doesn’t need or deserve.

This is the same dictator who is threatening to cut off Venezuelan energy supplies to the United States… The same dictator who is tight with the Castro regime in Cuba… And the same dictator who has said, “The Soviet Union collapsed. The United States empire is on the way down and it will be finished in the near future, for the good of all mankind.”

Why would Citgo get tax breaks? Is it possibly because the Democrats, who have sided with Communist Venezuela over U.S. ally Columbia before, are again helping to prop up Chavez even though it is not in the best interests of America. And why would they take the side of a brutal Marxist who has given $300 million to F.A.R.C. and allowed the narco terror group to buy Uranium? Why would they help a government that allows Hezbollah to operate in freely and openly yet shuts down TV stations critical of Chavez? Why would they prop up a dictator who is threatening to plunge the region into war?

Because they’re goddamn communists that’s why. The Democrats new plan punishes business, raises taxes on almost all Americans and redistributes that wealth to their Marxist golden boy. It will literally help destroy the prosperity and comfortable way of life America offers all its citizens. From Boehner’s Townhall op-ed:

Yet this week on the House floor, Democratic leaders are giving the American people exactly that: higher taxes and almost assuredly, even higher gasoline prices. The bill up for a House vote would raise taxes on producers of American energy here at home, send good-paying jobs overseas by removing incentives for American manufacturers to invest and grow their businesses, and further increase our dependence on foreign sources of energy. Even worse, the bill does a favor for Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez by exempting his state-owned oil giant CITGO – just as he is threatening to cut off Venezuelan energy supplies to the United States.

In the bill you’ll find new taxes, regulations, and mandates – you’ll even see a giant slush fund for green pork projects to help subsidize hybrid snowmobiles in Aspen, replace police cars in Beverly Hills with Lexus hybrids, or give copies of Al Gore’s movie to give to schoolchildren. Unfortunately, what’s missing from this tax-and-spend monstrosity is a single watt of new domestic energy…a single gallon of new domestic fuel…or a single reform that will lower prices for American consumers.

Access to plentiful energy fueled the industrial revolution and every medical, technological, and societal innovation since. In fact, none of the activities, necessities, and luxuries we enjoy today would be possible without affordable energy. Whether it’s heating or cooling a house, commuting to work, manufacturing and shipping goods, or running schools and hospitals, America depends on energy. That’s precisely why high energy prices act like hidden taxes on American families – when the cost of energy rises, so too does the cost of living.

Democrats are sacrificing our quality of life to do a favor to a militaristic communist regime. They are siding with Marxists over American self-interest. In other words they’re goddamn communists.

Redstate has more.
