RAF veteran beaten by muslim youth” shouting “death to soldiers”
AN RAF veteran told yesterday how he was battered in the street by two thugs who shouted: “Death to soldiers”. Anthony O’Brien, 69, was head-butted and punched to the ground by the men.
The pair then fled. Grandad Mr O’Brien – who had been wearing his RAF blazer and a Remembrance poppy – was treated in hospital for bruising to his face and an injured nose. He said: “The yobs who did this to me are nothing but cowardly scum.”
Father-of-two Mr O’Brien, who served in the Sixties, was attacked walking home from the pub in Fallowfield, Manchester, where he and pals had discussed arrangements for an old colleague’s funeral. He said: “I saw these two lads and, as I got near, they started shouting and swearing.
“They were shouting, ‘F****** shoot all you bastards and blow your soldiers up. Death to all soldiers.’ I was scared.
“I was wearing my RAF blazer and a poppy – I wear it regularly because it’s smart and I’m proud of it. I thought they were drunk or something. I told them to leave me alone but the little fella hit me on the side of my head.
“Then the other fella head-butted me. Then they ran away.”
The attack has left him in a wheelchair with heart trouble and breathing problems. PC Michael Seddon, of Greater Manchester Police, described the attack as “brutal” and appealed for information. The suspects were described as mixed race.
Yes. And in the last 24 hours any number of women have been brutalized by any number of men right here in the land of the free and the home of the brave … the religious affiliation of either party being profoundly irrelevant … but do I rub your nose in it? What on earth would be the point?
How many of those men yell out to the passers by that they are “brutalizing” these women in the name of their god and make a big show of their wares to terrorize and frighten others into submission?
As usual you miss the main point entirely.
This denial stuff is really strong in progressives!
“How many of those men yell out to the passers by that they are “brutalizing” these women in the name of their god ….”
Did I not assert my opinion that the religious affiliation of whichever party is entirely beside the point.
It’s you who are making a distraction out of something in no way pertinent. Sexually predatory violence is sexually predatory violence.
Libby…the post was about an elderly gentleman being brutalized by Muslim men. They were shouting “death to soldiers”. Their religion compels them to act out in this way by influence of extremists authority within the religion. Your denial of this reality and the threat is absurd!
And why would you “rub my nose in it”. Are you under the delusional opinion that I condone women being brutalized by men? If so you are profoundly screwed up in the head!
