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.
Now I know the Northwest is very Liberal in their politics, and if that floats their boat, so be it. But Attacking a Soldier in uniform is beyond reprehensible. Not to mention a Federal offense. Clearly this attack was politically motivated, albeit by attackers who probably couldn't spell THAT.
But one is lead to ask, what in their history would cause them to behave in such a way? Could it be the liberal media consistently reporting a biased opinion? Could it be these young men have learned that laws are "mere guidelines" for behavior? Could it be that their view of Morality in general is subjective? Who knows. I think however, even liberals will find this behavior totally unacceptable... Right?
