<p>National Guardsman Brutally Attacked In Pierce County</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>“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.</p>

<p>The suspects were driving a black Chevy Suburban-type SUV.</p>

<p>“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.</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>I'm going to call the number to tell them that WHEN they catch this, this, this... (#@&%&%&<em>*!</em><em>%$</em>%!) scum, to bring them to my house. I'll be waiting to take them for a ride to the low country. Why waste tax payer dollars? I'll take care of it for free.</p>

<p>This is really sad. Parkland is right outside McChord AFB and Ft. Lewis.</p>

<p>They will get caught. I am sure they are too stupid to keep this to themselves. Someone will hear them brag about it and turn them in for the reward.</p>

<p>Yeah, JM, Bring 'em on down here to the Low Country - it's amazing what the crabs will do to someone who's been left out in the marsh for a few days! (Not a pretty sight!).</p>

<p>I'm really shocked, angered & saddened by this story. What senseless & stupid brutality - it's just wrong on so many levels. It's difficult to even really process it. :confused:</p>

<p>The posting reminded me of the poem, " God and the Soldier"</p>

<p>God and the soldier
All men adore
In time of trouble,
And no more;
For when war is over
And all things righted,
God is neglected -
The old soldier slighted. </p>

<p>Wish it weren't so.</p>

<p>I got a 20 ft flagpole that could serve a dual purpose for a day or so............... </p>

<p>Come on Zaph----roving bands of armed liberals? :) I doubt it.</p>

<p>Sounds like just another group of uneducated scumbags who somehow made it through the background check at their local gun store----a little frontier justice will take care of 'em.</p>

8

<p>Hmmmm. Roving bands of armed liberals. What's next; conservatives clammoring for gun control so liberals won't have them?</p>

9

<p>Oh yeah; they will catch the b______s! I'd sure hate to be in their shoes now.</p>

Nah. Just the ability to shoot them like the rabid dogs they are. :)</p>

<p>No need for guns here folks. BZ & Z live close enough, they can tag along. I'll need help with the ropes. I have a big truck with an enclosed bed. No one need see our cargo. Its a 4x too (yes, I'm a redneck) & we'll need it where we're going. We'll go visit this really cool 100 year old Gullah man who can meet us out in the marsh at midnight. He's a horror movie all by himself. Voooodoooooo. Bring your flashlights!</p>

12

<p>LOL!</p>

<p>Leave it to a lovely Suth'n Belle to know how to deal with someone, and with GUSTO!</p>

<p>:D</p>

13

<p>Naw, not gusto. Just class. We do things very quiet down here & make it look effortless. Guns are just so messy, loud & all. Not a good choice. We might need to borrow Shogun's flagpole. I thought up a good use for it. Can't repeat it here so you'll have to trust me on it. It won't be pretty. You realize the more I type, the more I frighten myself. I feel faint. I should go loosen my "stays" and have a lemon-aide on the sleeping porch. </p>

<p>I agree with WAMom's reasoning. They will be caught. I hope tonight.</p>

14

<p>Who would have thunk it?</p>

<p>With apologies to Sir Alec Guiness:</p>

<p>"It's your forum-mate's FLAG POLE. This is the WEAPON of an avenger! Not as clumsy or as random as a firearm. An ELEGANT weapon, from a more civilized age."</p>

<p>LOL! :D</p>

15

<p>I hear ya, JM - jerk-kabobs!
Sorry Zaph - that doesn't sound very "elegant", does it?</p>

<p>Yeah, I'd like to see something decidedly unelegant happen to those criminals. That's the worst hate crime I've heard of!<br>
Hope the guardsman is okay.</p>

<p>I guess it depends which end of the flagpole you're on. :D</p>

<p>Jamzmom,</p>

<p>Did you paint that truck pink yet? It may not scare too many roving scumbags, but it would be soooo cute. :D And you know how important it is to look cute when you're up to mischief with flagpoles. ;)</p>

<p>Or, look at the picture of the glam grandma...</p>

<p>Nope. LOL Its rebel red. With soon to be granddaughter aka "Moonpie", she'll have to get used to the coon lights on the top though. Wonder how soon I can start feeding her boiled p-nuts.... Wonder too, if the pink Hummer can get those slime bags to the low country faster than my Avalanche can..... I'll drive it if it can. ;)</p>
