Washington Man Arrested For Allegedly Assaulting Anti-Rossi Protester

A 72-year-old man was arrested for allegedly assaulting a 23-year-old activist protesting Dino Rossi's Republican campaign for Senate in Washington state yesterday, according to local reports.

The incident occured outside GOP headquarters in Walla Walla County where the demonstrator, Christie Stordeur, was "one of five protesters standing about 40 feet from the entrance of the office," according to the Tri-City Herald.

Stordeur and the other protesters "were wearing bags over their heads and holding a sign that looked like a check." That's when Victor Phillips, according to a Sheriff's deputy on scene, walked over to Stordeur to "lift her bag off her head." When Stordeur "lifted her arm in defense," Phillips hit it "with 'force.'"

What do you suppose the excuse will be this time? Bum knees again? Maybe Christie Stordeur should be made to apologize to Victor Phillips.

There's another sickening sameness to these recent events, too: click through to the TPM story and you will see that, yet again, the victim is a young woman who does not appear particularly physically threatening.

5. It keeps getting scarier out there...

It's to the point where you have to be prepared to defend yourself during peaceful protesting.

I thought we had a right to protest?!

6. kudos to the cop for being so quick to arrest him

A good thing that the witness was also the arresting officer. So there won't be a "he said, she said" situation.

[BlueIris]

7. Watch while CorpMedia starts making excuses for this, too. nt

[gratuitous]

9. Tea Baggers don't play well with others

That whole Constitution thing just confounds the poor dears, and since they're being egged on by one network, and the other networks and major media outlets are too scared or something to speak up, they can pretty much act with impunity. But if one of them picks on the wrong target and gets a pointy shoe to the nads for his trouble, you can damn betcha that that will bring out the pearl clutchers to faint all over each other as they decry left wing violence.

Dear Tea Baggers and their Media Enablers: Fuck you all.

15. i have been on msnbc and cnn board last week. the hatred of "american women" and the root of all

evil is feminism. these men, so many men, suprising number of men posting hate for american women. i was clueless we had spiraled so far out of control. they hate american women. all say, get asian women that know how to respect a man. if i challenged at all.... they said, see, see, you are one of those american women. i guess i was to bow head, hands in lap, and agree with them. my only recourse.

there is a lot of fucked in our world today. and it is ALL womens faults.

plus they can beat the woman up.
