Attacked: Former serviceman Anthony O’Brien in hospital with black eyes and cuts after he was beaten up by the two thugs. (Daily Mail)

He was preparing for a comrade’s funeral at the time.
The Sun reported, via The Blaze:

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 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.

  4. Gini, yep, that’s like inviting a sexual predator to live in your house and then wonder why he molested your daughter.

  5. Yeah yelling “Death to_______” is pretty much a give away and exactly what I was thinking as I read it.

    Not going to say they were Muslims because that might make them angry? Looks to me like they all ready are. The UK reminds me of this quote:

    “I believe in looking reality straight in the eye, and denying it”

  6. Wait for it…..The background /religion of these two little scoundrels is……..I am sure the reporter simply forgot to look into it. I have a hunch they were out on lunch break from the local Catholic church/ school and wanted to play a few pranks.

  7. Who do they suggest replacing the soldiers with when the soldiers are all “dead” then? A bunch of hopped-up, mush-brained, reprobate, hate-motivated street punks such as their sorry selves?

  8. This world is fast becoming mentally ill.

  9. ……and if the good gentleman defended himself (with or without a weapon), he’d be up on heavier charges than the s.o.b.’s that did him.

    Bye-bye land of my family.

    If the attackers are indeed ‘peace lovers’, as far as I’m concerned, they want a holy war, they got one…… They started it, we’re gonna finish it.

  10. The Daily Mail is reporting:

    A former serviceman was ambushed and beaten up by drunken thugs simply because he was wearing an RAF blazer and poppy.

    Anthony O’Brien was preparing for a comrade’s funeral when the two teenage yobs shouted at him: ‘Blow up all soldiers – death to all soldiers’.

    The pair – described as being of Asian or mixed race – then headbutted and punched the 69-year-old to the floor.

  11. Kenny,

    God’s gonna finish it. These deniers are going to bow to the God of Israel.

  12. Then they ran away. Good clue right there.

  13. In the UK it’s the “Asian”/Muslim identity that is left out of crime reports. Here in the US it the black race of the majority of criminals. Yet it’s silly, everyone is in on the game.

  14. Bull Crap. All Asians or Islamists will decry militancy in a host country and advocate for their own militarization back home. Just kill biological scum to get rid of this world menace. It is just as evil as anything else.

  15. Too bad the old man didnt have a .44 to shove up those muslims a$$es. The only way they will learn is with an overdose of lead.

    You might add cases involving political crime, party identification is only noted when a Republican is involved
    There is no free press in America any longer, most are now western editions of Pravda.

  18. And to think I once considered “A Clockwork Orange” to be a work of fiction.

    Britain is there. Viddy well droogs.

  19. Kindness to the cruel is cruelest to the kind.
    Everyone is faced with a choice—-people that are disposed to inflict pain and suffering and are devoid of humane feelings should always be deprived of leniency and punishment should be fierce—their goal is to annihilate, destroy, cause extreme pain and in many instances to deprive one of their life——-

    One can make a markedly favorabe impression on these executers of mayhem—— premeditation,assassinate these terrorists before they dispatch anymore innocent people—or one can hope, pray, turn the other cheek and cherish a desire that the future terrorists will actively oppose conflict and take on the characteristics of pacifists—
    You can wish in one hand and crap in the other, see which one gets filled first—

  20. Britain has lost its collective mind and will soon be a Muslim nation. The Left here are doing their best to make America fail and kneel to Islam. That is why Islam and Liberalism must be stopped wherever it appears. Vote them out, run against them, attend the city council meetings when they Left and the Muslims make more demands. Fight them everywhere.

  21. They have security cameras everywhere in England. I hope the thugs are identified and a “Dead or Alive” bounty is put on them. Send them to Texas, where we have an express line to the death house.

  22. If we started at 8 am tomorrow, the muslims could be extinct by noon. But no, millions of humans will die at the hands at these sub-human retards so politicans and college professors can feel good about themselves. It’s them(muslims) or us(everyone else), but millions will die until the west figures it out.

  23. Find the pricks, tie ‘em up and let Mr. O’Brien kick ‘em the head as much as he would like.

  24. #21, dream on. If caught on film, the former Great Britain will give the perps more money and beg “please don’t hurt us again”.

  25. While it is British PC not to ID the ethnic origins of violent offenders unless they are Anglo-Saxon (much like the US), The Sun simply was saving paper and ink when they skipped this detail. Who but the goat-humping cultists of the “RoP” would attack a vet for wearing a garment commemorating his service?

  26. I’m thinking the perfect weapon to counter this type of attack might be nothing more than than a spray bottle of pig blood. Simple non deadly, and much like a dye marker used by banks. Uncle Smith is always a good back up option if the situation goes South.

  27. I think it would be great if a few recently returned RAF blokes paid them a visit before the Brit Police wasted their time.

  28. Gini commented @ #1 (and it obviously needs to be repeated), that “Asian” is British PC for “Arab or Pakistani.

    More simply put and in my own words,
    in British Newspeak, Asian = Muslim.

  29. there’s no money in rounding up the criminals, especially the Asian types that are too easily angered. the system makes more money off of the victims, apparently. besides, the police are too busy prowling the mean streets looking for litterers and green house gases. take care of yourselves vets ,those who have lived your lives proudly defending your country, for your country won’t be there to take care of you.

  30. Most Muslims are cowards. No honor. None.

  31. Moman commented @ #13: In the UK it’s the “Asian”/Muslim identity that is left out of crime reports. Here in the US it the black race of the majority of criminals. Yet it’s silly, everyone is in on the game.

    Muslim and Arab identities are also protected here in the US. Atlas Shrugs posted an example of this media bias just a few days ago, Christmas Day, in fact: http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/2010/12/muslim-nebraska-man-arrested-for-hate-crime-following-confrontation-on-king-county-metro-bus-.html
    Between examples such as this one and the lamestream media’s refusal to report on Islam’s demand that homosexuals be killed, it’s obvious that, to the libtarded media, Muslim trumps gay. I wonder how long it will be until Muslim trumps black.

  32. Those weren’t thugs. Rather, they were Acorn members sent to the UK by the Democrat Party to setup various ‘voter registration outposts’ there so they can register British voters to vote for Obama in 2012.

    By GOD, that is utterly brilliant! Capitalists to the fore! It doesn’t have to be blood, and you can market it as “cologne”, but make it essentially odorless. All you have to do is make it prominently known that pigs provide a significant part of it’s ingredients. Put Porky on the label.

    The law can’t stop it, “Hey, it’s just cologne”. And if they tried, it could be a huge political issue. They would have to then either flat out outlaw ham and bacon, etc entirely, and simply acknowledge that the people of Britian or wherever do in fact live in an Islamic state, or else put up with it.

    Meanwhile, everyone but everyone would know exactly what it was about and why. Even if it’s genuine defensive capabities were minor (these are thugs we speak of, who really knows what they will and will not react to), it would enable people everywhere to make a fundamental statement about where they stand regarding “Islamic values”, and force the Islamists to either live surrounded by free people who will not succumb, or to get the hell out and go somewhere where they don’t sell the stuff.

    It would be fascinating, politically and otherwise, to see something like that put on the market.

    Muammar el-Qaddafi ~ January 1996

    [Ten years after first stepping foot in Wright's church, in October
    1995 Obama accompanied Wright to Farrakhan's "Million Man March."

    The following year, in January 1996, Farrakhan returned from another trip
    to Libya. It was the same month in which Barack Obama became an Illinois
    State Senator. By then, Obama had been attending Rev. Wright's church
    for ten years, the latter five as a committed member. The New York Times
    reported:

    Louis Farrakhan, head of the Nation of Islam, visited Libya this week to meet
    Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi and discussed how to "unify, mobilize and organize"
    American Muslims for elections in the United States this year.

    Colonel Qaddafi, the Libyan leader, quoted by the state press agency, said:
    "Our confrontation with America used to be like confronting a fortress from
    outside. Today we have found an opening to enter the fortress and to
    confront it from within."]

    Muammar el-Qaddafi ~ April 2006

    “If we want to amend the state of humanity, and live in a global
    village, because of globalization [.] the fifty million Muslims in
    Europe will turn it into a Muslim continent within a few decades.

    [.] Europe is in a predicament, and so is America. They
    should agree to become Islamic in the course of time [.]”

    JDS: See no jihad. Hear no jihad. Speak no jihad.

    [President Obama and his national security leadership have bought into a false narrative promoted by organizations and leaders with ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, such as CAIR (Council on American Islamic Relations) and ISNA (Islamic Society of North America). Dozens of such individuals have been placed in his administration, including Dalia Mogahed, a top Mideast adviser to Obama who made the astounding assertion last October that most women in the world associate sharia law with “gender justice.”

    [..]

    It states in part: “The Ikhwan must understand that all their work in America is a kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and sabotaging their miserable house…”]

    Becoming Nazis is not the answer. Becoming Pol Pot is not the answer. Becoming Mao is not the answer. Becoming Stalin is not the answer.

    If you think it is, you should keep those comments to yourselves.

    Jim, I’m beginning to think that you need a full-time moderator. I’m not saying that you need to become the next LGF, deleting every comment you personally disagree with….

    …but comments like #44, and #22, are so far over the line of human decency that they belong on a Neo-Nazi website.

    ps: #43

    re: [Ten years after first stepping foot in Wright's church, in October

    Wright

    [Farrakhan’s October 16, 1995 Million Man March ranks among the events
    about which Rev. Wright has written most extensively and passionately.
    Wright -- along with such notables as Al Sharpton and Barack Obama --
    helped organize the rally and attended it with his son, and has described
    it as “a once in a lifetime, amazing experience.”]

    al-Mansour

    [A close personal adviser to Huey Newton and Bobby Seale, al-Mansour
    [aka: Don/ald Warden]helped the pair establish the Black Panther Party
    but later broke with them when they entered coalitions with white radical
    groups.]

    Farrakhan

    [This was not Farrakhan's first friendly encounter with Qadhafi. Eleven years earlier, the Libyan strongman had granted NOI a $5 million interest-free loan, in gratitude for which Farrakhan later visited Libya to personally thank his benefactor. Qadhafi once told a crowd of NOI followers at a Chicago convention that he sought to sponsor an armed black revolution in America. On yet another occasion, Farrakhan and his aides -- violating a travel ban imposed on Americans by President Reagan -- flew to Tripoli to meet with Qadhafi, whom Farrakhan has proudly called “a friend,” “a brother,” and “a fellow struggler in the cause of liberation for our people.” ]

    “unless the white masses really understand, and the black masses really understand, there’s gonna be the largest bloodbath in America”

    [btw: al-Masour was, most likely still is, in tight with the Clintons as well..]

    ipso facto: Wright, Farrakhan, Gaddafi, Al-Mnsour, The NOI, Black Panthers,
    etc.. are all connected to Obama, and to each other one way or another..

    If J.R.R. Tolkein had written Libs as they are today, not just the Wormtongues he knew in his day, Hobbiton would have invited the orcs in to be residents. Gondor and Rohan would have been paying generations of lawless Uruk-Hai to live and loot and burn and murder in their midst. No question.

  57. # 46 Taqiyyotomist commented:

    “comments like #44, and #22, are so far over the line of human decency that they belong on a Neo-Nazi website.”

    You seem to have forgotten the enthusiastic support the RoP gave the Nazis. The islamic SS divisions never lacked for volunteers & actually had almost twice the numbers under arms of any divisional units of any nation in WW2. If any group could be likened to the Nazis (and the “good Germans” who were “just following orders”), it is the jihadists and the “good muslims” who don’t oppose their allegedly more radical brethren. The entire cult remains mired in the primitive 6th Century superstitions of a singularly foul mad pederast and I would suggest 1300 years has been more than long enough to countenance this blight on human civilization – this cult must be eradicated. I mean you no offense, but if that view makes me a neo-Nazi in anyone’s eyes, I’m reasonably certain I can live with the disapprobation.

    I’m even more certain of this: a civilized society cannot coexist with the primitive barbarism of the cult of islam any more than we could with the savagery of the 1000 year Reich.

  58. Iconoclast, I’ll never forget all that I’ve learned about Husseini and Hitler, and all the evil that Islam taught the Nazi Germans.

    I’ll also never forget watching Shoah, all twelve hours. I don’t want us to become this.

    It’s a conundrum, I know. And I know we cannot coexist with these barbarians these Nazis who call themselves Muslim.

    Does this leave us with only two options? Kill them all or die ourselves? I suggested a third option, that is: tell the truth. Convince them to change. We have the vast resources of the internet, the media — TV, radio, music, and film industries — and the US Military, and countless NGOs with the ability to spread the truth of the Gospel.

    Our only hope of avoiding the former two fates — kill all the muslims — and, by extension, damning our souls — or complete suicide and capitulation — is to become once again a truly Christian nation. The Spirit of God is the only way. A hundred thousand atheist Ayaan Hirisi Alis cannot deprogram the cultists, because you cannot replace the worship of something with the worship of nothing. It never works, never has.

    God’s spirit can do it, through us, and all the resources I mentioned, which He has given us, and which we have misused, if we only had the national will.

    Otherwise we’ll become an insane bloodlusting nation, and this will be the last generation, one way or the other, of true Americans.

    Three options: become killers of a billion humans, die ourselves, or lead a billion humans to the Truth of Christ Jesus, avoiding both demonic fates, and rendering Islam as harmless and ancient and obscure as Quetzacoatl-worship. I don’t believe there are any other options, save the “who knows when?” of Christ’s return, and His foretold sword.

    I am definitely not offended by your comment, Iconoclast. This is a tough circumstance. With Christ, though, it shouldn’t be. If our nation were “with Christ.”

    Prayer is what we need more than anything. Maranatha.

  59. I use the name Dark and Bloody for two reasons. My Kentucky roots and my view of where the world is headed. I am an Anglophile, the history, the literature, the culture, all fascinated me as a youth. Yet, that world is nearly gone because of unchecked immigration, the culture of dependency caused by the dole, and suffocating taxes and regulations.
    We in the US are suffering from the same issues, but we are not as far along as the UK. So what do we do? We do need to embrace Christ in our lives, but we also need to hold elected officials and unelected officials accountable. Immigration must be stopped, legal or not, for a few years. Taxes and regulations must be cut. Elected officials must be turned out of office year after year until they get out of our lives.
    Ok, not going to happen anytime soon. So what we must do is arm ourselves and be willing to protect our families and neighbors. If only this gentlemen had been armed. If only the subjects of the Crown were still allowed to arm themselves.
    I fear it is fixing to get really dark and bloody around here.

  60. What Taqiyyotomist said. Amen. Amen. Amen.

    ‘I suggested a third option, that is: tell the truth. Convince them to change. We have the vast resources of the internet, the media — TV, radio, music, and film industries — and the US Military, and countless NGOs with the ability to spread the truth of the Gospel.’

    Yes. We also have our own voices. For those with the conviction and opportunity, speak up. In public. If the circumstances do not provide for your protection (witness the Iraq veteran at the movies story above) exert caution and restraint. But if you have signs of any support, use the voice G-d gave you.

    Best regards, Peter Warner.

  61. Taqiyyotomist, and his answer is what? Turn the other cheek?

    I’m for “chamber the next round.”

  62. # 58, Taqiyyotomist commented:
    “Prayer is what we need more than anything.”

    While I respect your beliefs, I do not share them. If you find comfort in prayer, I’m glad for you . . . but I decided over 50 years ago religion had no relevance to my life beyond Christianity providing a framework of ethical principles (although I was far too young at the time to articulate much beyond the rejection itself).

    So for me, your third option does not exist. And frankly, the historical record is not on your side. The Christians in the Colosseum still filled the lions’ bellies even if their examples converted some of the audience. The Holocaust victims prayed as they were packed into cattle cars; the only ones who died on their feet were in the Warsaw Ghetto . . . and history, including current events, provides untold numbers of such examples.

    I don’t advocate genocide, but I see no middle ground upon which to build. The only way to bring these savages to heel is to make the alternative too painful for them to even contemplate. Appealing to their better nature likely has slightly more chance of success than doing so with a hammerhead shark, but it remains a mighty thin and problematic thread on which to hang the survival of civilization.

    Finally, and not least, recall one fundamental tenet of muhammadanism: it is a deadly sin to renounce the cult, sentence to be carried out by the most expedient means. This alone precludes the success of the conversion approach. Unless one is certain of some sort of divine intervention such as that which did not protect the Jews of Europe in the mid 20th Century, etc.

    At their core, the only approach which connects with these fanatic cultists is the same sort of savage violence which they embrace. Reduce the survivors to a Stone Age existence consistent with their beliefs and ONLY THEN give them the opportunity to renounce the cult and join the human race. Fight or die – “there is no try” (or “coexist”) . . . these are our only realistic choices in my perspective. And while I’ve never tried it, from what I’ve seen, dying has little to recommend it as an alternative. In fact, turning the other cheek seems no different than peeing in a wetsuit – it may make one feel warm, but it doesn’t address the problem.

    This is not to say there is no alternative approach, but I can neither see one nor accept yours as realistic. In the mean time, I think the only rational (if one defines rational as “survivable”) choice is to regard islamists as 21st Century Nazis and deal with them accordingly.

  63. There’s lots of comfort found in prayer.

    Lord
    “Be not that far from me, for trouble is near; haste Thee to help me.
    Blessed be the Lord my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight.
    My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and he in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me.
    O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.”

    These contributions are a small slice of Ellison's campaign war chest and hardly constitute the difference between a third term or defeat. By seeking them out, the congressman makes clear that he sees himself not as a representative of all American Muslims. Just like-minded Islamists.]
