RNC Delegates Attacked By Thugs

Protesters harassed two state delegations in St. Paul to attend the Republican National Convention Monday. Someone threw a rock through the window as delegates from Alabama rode their bus to the Xcel Energy Center, where Republican National Convention events took place. And masked protesters confronted and harassed the Connecticut delegation — several of them were spat upon, roughed up and doused with a mixture of water and bleach.

Heath Fahle, director of the Connecticut Republicans, said the incident happened on Kellogg Boulevard about 2 p.m. “It was frightening,” he said.

He said the delegation of more than 100 got off their chartered buses near the Xcel Energy Center. As they walked on the sidewalk, a group of masked protestors chanting anti-war slogans appeared in front of them.

They linked arms, attempting to create a human barricade. As police on horseback arrived, Fahle and other members of the group tried to push through.

Most of them escaped unscathed, but the protesters splattered the last group of delegates with the liquid.

“Two got doused, and several more got sprayed with it,” said Fahle. Former Rep. Rob Simmons was hit on the face with the liquid.

Delegate Rob Simmons was outraged. “We were attacked by a mob,” he said. “We were subjected to violent and anarchist behavior by a bunch of thugs."

Fahle said two people were spat upon: Lila Healy, the mother of Connecticut party chairman Chris Healy; and 83-year-old Fred Biebel.

Commentary

I have little regard for these types of protesters, whether they are protesting the DNC or RNC National Conventions.

People like that need the ever-loving crap beat out of them, period, paragraph, end of story. Someone who would spit on an 83 year-old woman does not deserve to live freely in society.

I have felt for a while that our nation is approaching the point of no return in regards to another civil war. I mean an armed conflict to add to the ideological one we have been engaged in since the 60's (and probably much longer). I may be reaching the point to where I am looking forward to it, just so everyone will know where they stand...and we can decide once and for all what kind of nation America is going to be, will we return to following the precepts as laid down in the U.S. Constitution..or will be continue to slide into the hell created by those who follow Hegel, Marx, Alinsky and Zúñiga?

Here are a few more videos of the "protesters in action:
