"the bunker"
PARKLAND, Wash. — "The Pierce County Sheriff’s Department is searching for five people who allegedly attacked a uniformed National Guardsmen walking along 138th Street in Parkland Tuesday afternoon.

The soldier was walking to a convenience store when a sport utility vehicle pulled up alongside him and the driver asked if he was in the military and if he had been in any action.

The driver then got out of the vehicle, displayed a gun and shouted insults at the victim. Four other suspects exited the vehicle and knocked the soldier down, punching and kicking him.

“And during the assault the suspects called him a baby killer. At that point they got into the car and drove off and left him on the side of the road,” Detective Ed Troyer with the Pierce County Sheriff’s Department told KIRO 7 Eyewitness News.

The suspects were driving a black Chevy Suburban-type SUV.

“This is something new for us, we have not had military people assaulted because they were in the military or somebody’s opposition to a war or whatever,” Troyer said.

The driver is described as a white male, 25-30 years old, 5 feet 10 inches tall, heavy build, short blond hair, wearing a black T-shirt and jeans, and armed with a handgun.

The vehicle’s passengers are described as white males, 20-25 years old. Some of the suspects wore red baseball hats and red sweatshirts during the attack.

The Pierce County Sheriff’s Department is offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and charging of the individuals involved. Informants can call 253-591-5959, and callers will remain anonymous.""

baby-killer,huh........lol

seriously,i don`t know why the article failed to mention that this patriotic young man was black.....so,there may have been a confluence of racist and anti-war/ anti-military sentiments.....


last time around, the anti-war crowd also started by pretending to support the troops while opposing the war......then came the fake atrocity stories......then came the spitting and egg-throwing and rock-throwing and all the rest of it......so, I suppose it was only a matter of time.

vet-haters, military-haters, america-haters....racists.....

is this a hate crime(or do we need to find the root cause first?)....

lets see if the msm is all over this one..and whether they emphasize the racist angle...or the baby killer angle........

i also wonder if jesse jackson or sharpton shows their faces?...............the guy was,after all,african american.....

whatever....whoever`s responsible......skinheads or anti-war peace activists(gag),i hope they grab `em and spend some quality time with these heros before they`re turned in(5 on 1?...with guns......cowards)....

If the story is true it is obviously despicable.

Don't understand why you insist on painting everyone who is against this proved and admitted war perpetrated by lies as somehow less patriotic as you.:shrug:

Ditto.

Weasel, why do you do that? You are almost likeable, but then you go ahead imply that all people opposed to the war and the dreaded media want to attack soldiers.

That said, yeah - no problem with your punishment suggestion.

Brave lot aren't they-- one holds gun on him while 4 others jump him.

I think good punishment would be after capture put each in room him alone and give him 10 minutes with each--then try them and put them in cell block with some "love starved bad boys" :)

yeah.....i guess after re-reading the thread you could surmise that i`m painting with a broad brush........

apologies.....

still....there is a certain hysteria building within the anti-war crowd......certain segments......move-on.org....sheehan...dean..pelosi......that are way over the top in their attacks.....

and i think that kind of rhetoric is directly responsible for enflaming these morons.....those that can`t think for themselves....

I seriously doubt the thugs were inspired by a Howard Dean speech or a mother of dead soldier. ...You don't honestly think that do you?

More likely it was primarily a racist attack and they added the insults because he was in uniform. That would be my guess. Not many against the war are violent - certainly none of the people you lump in with the thugs are violent.

yes,i do......take kerry`s comments about our troops "terrrorizing innocent iraqis in the middle of the night"....

murtha(gag)commenting on our troops murdering innocent iraqis before the investigation was done....

now,theres a film showing at the toronto film festival showing bush being assassinated.....

you don`t think this stuff is incendiary and over the top?...

you`re not serious....

and isn`t it odd that there were no claims that the guy was called a "******" or any other disgusting racial epithet....

but,they did ask about his service and called him a "baby killer"....

i`d say that based on the info we have,it was an attack based on hatred of the war or the military....


and let me forewarn you lefties....i show up at the super bowl party and get any disparaging looks when i`m wearing my "scout uniform" with the "scoutmaster" patch,it`ll be time to throw down....:nono:

This can't be true or irrelevant or the diarrheatribers on "fox news" would have shoved it down your throats 24/7. Like cancer, they thrive on stuff like that.

Scouts are known baby killers.

Wait, I was a scout up until we had to learn how to tie knots. That was way too much work for a limp-wristed liberal communist, so I quit. So I guess you're partially ok...up until you went over the top with the scout master thing...

Weasel, just because a comment is over the top doesn't mean it inspires delinquents to physically attack a soldier. Your making ridiculous connections. Do you honestly think anti-establishment racist thugs are basing their actions on the words of John Kerry or Murtha? I doubt they are listening to anyone, let alone politicians (who are themselves, vets by the way - unlike our cowardly leaders).

There is simply no logic to your thinking. You started this thread with an agenda of discrediting political figures against the war. Just as the media you always complain about does - you are using a story to push your politics. How very Rush Limbaugh of you.

OK Weasel, don't send Sheehan to Guantanimo just yet - this story apparently is not clear...

New Questions In Case Of Attack On Guardsman

POSTED: 4:33 pm PDT August 30, 2006
UPDATED: 9:21 am PDT September 1, 2006

PARKLAND, Wash. -- Authorities are continuing to investigate a National Guardsman's claim that he was attacked earlier this week in Parkland and called "a baby killer."

A witness who came forward after the incident told KIRO 7 Eyewitness News a different story about what happened on Tuesday morning, but deputies said the witness later changed that story when they interviewed him.

The witness told police he saw several men in uniform beat a man in civilian clothes, but later changed his account to back the guardsman.

Investigators said the witness's stories were inconsistent with the guardsman's, and they are back to "square one" in the investigation.

The guardsman, Alexander Powell, said he was walking to a convenience store when a sport utility vehicle pulled up alongside him and the driver asked if he was in the military and if he had been in any action.

The driver then got out of the vehicle, displayed a gun and shouted insults at Powell. Four other suspects exited the vehicle and knocked the soldier down, punching and kicking him, calling him a "baby killer" during the attack, according to Powell.

The driver was described as a white male, 25-30 years old, 5 feet 10 inches tall, heavy build, short blond hair, wearing a black T-shirt and jeans, and armed with a handgun.

The vehicle's passengers were described as white males, 20-25 years old. Some of the men wore red baseball hats and red sweatshirts during the attack.

smurph....you really don`t think that all this bushitler stuff...bush is the real terrorist......kerry calling OUR soldiers terrorists etc doesn`t enflame people?...
here and abroad?....

nutbag college professors claiming the bush administration perpetrated 9/11?....

you don`t recall these remarks being immediately posted in al jazeera?.....

this reminds me of these idiots on college campuses refusing to allow rotc offices space...when the military is the only reason they aren`t speaking german?...

it`s not a certainty...but the evidence points to some chomsky-ite moonbats...

there were no racial comments mentioned by the perps.... but,there were numerous remarks made about the military...

just because they were white it`s automatically a racial incident?.....

are you projecting your liberal bent?...and not looking at the evidence at hand?....

smurph...this one is very upsetting for me...
they are americans....they are students and teachers....they are firefighters and police officers.....they are electricians and farmers and even a few lawyers(gag)....

they raise their hand in time of need and say "here i am - send me."

they are the people who every one clamors for in the face of hurricanes, and floods, and fires....

they do their job on the homefront, and in foreign lands.....

they give up their day jobs, their family life, their schooling, and they do it voluntarily....if communities get in a jam, they want the national guard.....if the country is at risk, they call the national guard....they are everyday heroes....

i`d like to get one of these cowards in the boxing ring.....i`d make it last....i`d have them given i.v. fluids and sent back out....

this was disgusting....

i think we should all be upset....

1)a national guardsman is attacked...brutally.....by 5 men making anti-military remarks(i wonder if this is a federal offense?...a felony?)



2)it could have been me,you,your cousin,brother,sister or friend....(or judge reinhold:SIB)....

3)guardsmen are patriotic people that are on the front line of disasters,wars,etc..they protect us....they are heroic...and they don`t make fricking foreign policy:rolleyes: ...


4)i believe that ridiculously inflammatory anti-military remarks by politicians,academics,media etc enflames the most extreme left wing kook factor in this country....with this type of rhetoric(we are the terrorists...baby killers....the gov`t was responsible for 9/11 etc)....the net can spread ideological insanity so quickly - it`s really frightening.....

5)where is this story on the msm?... nothing on the msm about this.....

why no coverage?

if this was about a different black dude being whacked around by some real crackers,it`d be plastered all over the media.....but it`s a military guy..and there were no indications of racial motivation...........and because the military is associated with this administration and the w.o.t.....because in some some strange twisted bizarro liberal logic,the military is bad...evil........

6)the liberal left seems to think that the w.o.t. an optional activity, sort of akin to picking and choosing which activities one does on vacation or something.....i can't fathom their minds....

7)you don`t think there could possibly be any connection between the afforementioned hysterical rhetoric and this attack?.....

i guess you believe that the constant harangues of the islamic fascists don`t filter down even randomly to a number of angry and alienated young muslims in the west....leading to:

. "fanatics shooting Jews in Seattle, murder at the Los Angeles airport, an SUV running over innocent pedestrians in San Francisco or driving over students in North Carolina, sniping in Maryland"'(victor david hanson)......

i do....


there....tied up in a neat little package...


my brother,,,,;) ..think about it...

Not even on Fox? Well it could be because this story is apparently very unclear at the moment. People are jumped, carjacked, beatup all the time - very rarely makes national news.

Everyone obviously agrees with you on outrage over a serviceman being attacked like that. Everyone also agrees about being thankful.

But you lose many people and begin to sound like a conspiracy nut yourself when you start blaming an isolated attack like that on anti-war statements by politicians. There is no possible relation between that attack and words by Murtha or Dean or Kerry or Sheehan or any of them. You sound crazy.

Do you think it's right for National Guard to even be in Iraq? I don't think that kind of duty was ever intended for that branch of service.

Since you have such a soft spot for Washinton National Guard, here's another article that should perk your interest and outrage:
