This Is How Americans Support Freedom And The Troops?

I'm not surprised that I didn't hear about this story until now. It wasn't until I did my daily surfing of blogs that I came upon this story on Who Hijacked Our Country. Why would we hear about it? After all, it's only the things that anti-war people do that gets coverage. But when pro-war pigs beat a grieving father of a deceased soldier, all we get is ...SILENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The People Who Assaulted a Gold Star Father on September 15th

Here are photos of members of "Gathering of Eagles" who assaulted gold star father Carlos Arredondo in broad daylight in Washington, D.C., on September 15, 2007, throwing him to the ground and kicking him.

Account of what happened from Arredondo's wife Mélida Arredondo:

Carlos Arredondo, 47 year old father of two sons, arrived in the nation's capitol on Monday, 09/10/07 to share a memorial he has made to honor for his eldest son, Alex. Carlos has visited thirty of the United States with the traveling memorial to his son Alexander. Lcpl. Alexander S. Arredondo, USMC was killed on 08/25/04. He was 20 years and 20 days old. The memorial consists of a casket, poster- size photographs of Alex when he graduated from boot camp, before his second tour in Iraq, lying in state at his wake, and a photo of Alex with his younger brother Brian.

Saturday, September 15, 2007 consisted of first a rally, a march towards the capitol and then a die-in. Carlos pulled the memorial along the march route approaching the rotunda near the capitol building. Several of the marchers requested for him to speak about the memorial where a crowd gathered around him. After finishing, several people walked with Carlos as he pulled the memorial. Several pictures of Alex dressed in his blues were attached to the display.

As Carlos passed counter protesters, one man ripped a picture of Alex from the memorial. Carlos leaped on the man to retrieve the picture. It was at that point that approximately five others all began to attack Carlos by kicking him in the head, legs, stomach and back.

The Capitol police bicycle patrol then appeared to break up the fight. Several officers including a female officer were engaged in breaking up the fight and were able to stop any further injuries from occurring. Hannah Jones who was walking with Carlos was also assaulted.

A bystander named Ramesh witnessed the whole encounter and also retrieved the picture of Alex for Carlos. He was quite distressed at how he watched the men follow Carlos as he pulled the memorial, purposefully yelling epiphets and eventually taking Alex's photograph. Soon, an ambulance showed up as well as many concerned activists. The paramedics provided first aid to Carlos but he did not seek further medical attention. Carlos sustained bloody cuts on his shins. He also reported bruises all over his torso and head where he was kicked.

Like Tom pointed out over at Who Hijacked Our Country, nothing you could ever dream up to call these pigs would ever truly do the situation justice.

This is how these filthy motherfuckers support freedom and our troops? This is how they treat the father of a soldier who died so that their filthy, disgusting asses could live?

They need to be locked up for life!! There is no place in society for these pigs!! Take a long, hard look at the photos. If you know them, give Carlos and his deceased son some justice by calling police and turning these pigs in.

To all of you assholes who are bound to leave a comment defending these pigs, bring it on bitches!! I'm ready!!

SUPPORT THE TROOPS!! TURN THESE ASSHOLES IN NOW!!!!!
