I was also present a week later at the Chester County Courthouse, as the all peace protesters intermixed with us, and heard the statements Tony refers to in this remarkable letter to the editor:
Victim displays class over incident :
I read your account of the court’s decision in the attack by one of Karen Porter’s “peace” supporters with great interest. The day after the incident I viewed a video on the victim’s Web site. What one attorney who wrote a letter to the Daily Local observed and what the court has clearly stated from the facts of the incident are clearly at odds with Karen Porter’s rendition and the actual video I observed.
The week following the incident I heard Karen Porter addressing her “troops” on the courthouse steps. From her comments you would have thought the young woman had attacked the perpetrator. It’s hard for me to imagine that Karen Porter is an attorney … her comments about this incident have no basis in the facts of the case. But then again a lot of what Ms. Porter says about many issues, has no basis in fact.
It’s nice to see that justice was served in this case. It’s also worthy to note that the young woman from the Victory Movement, could have sought more aggressive recompense. But as is typical of the folks on that side of the street, she settled for a formal apology … classy lady.

Way to go, skye!
Karen Porter lacks the wherewithal to see that she is what she despises, and you are what she thinks herself to be.
How she has conducted herself in all of this contrasted to how you have conducted yourself, speaks for itself.
Where I live we don’t have any anti war hippy trash. I’m glad. Because I wouldn’t be able to be as classy as you. I’d most likely get arrested with my temper. I really do want to feel my fist crash into the fleshy face of an anti war hippy.
Thanks Skye
So, Karen Porter is an attorney? It just shows me that anyone can be a lawyer. It sure doesn’t take character, values, class, intelligence, self-respect to get a “title”.
I am sick of these tired, stinking, old, worn-out hippies complaining. They have yet to achieve anything of worth, personally or professionally, which is why they attempt to spread their hate-filled hearts to everyone else. Misery does love company.
But, it’s not working! They make me more aware of my patriotism, my love of country, our military and who I am. They make me proud and even relieved that I am nothing like them.
They are aged now, and nothing to show for their lives. I would be depressed and miserable, too.
But, for Memorial Day, let’s forget about them. Let’s lift our hearts and our prayers to our brave soldiers and their leaders, for they are allowing our lifestyle, our freedoms. Let them know that we are not just behind them, but that we respect them for all that they do.
Karen Porter is more than an attorney; she’s a great American! She stands up for the rights of Americans to get their butts off the couch to speak their minds about their hopes for change in Iraq policy. It’s what our founding fathers wrote the Bill Of Rights for. It’s clear to me and, as polls say, for over 70% of Americans, that the country has gone off the rails. Thanks to people like Karen Porter we have a venue to express this dissatisfaction every Saturday in West Chester. It’s democracy in action, and it’s great! One thing I’ve learned is that in this country nothing is guaranteed; but if you fight for your rights, thuggery can do little but make noise and scream epithets. Citizen debate is a good thing, and since the Chester County Victory Movement has insisted on a debate by its aggressive presence at the five-year-old Chester County Peace Movement vigil on the corner of Market & High Streets in West Chester — well, bring on the debate. We feel we have a strong basis for our position. If, as many in this nation hope, the Bush Bunker is demolished and cleared out in six months, we can finally begin the long overdue process of change in US Iraq policy.
John Grant
You mean the “change in US Iraq policy” from fighting our enemy over there, defeat Islamic terrorists, and win…… to surrender, run away, and fight from our own homes when we are attacked over here (and then blame Bush for not protecting you while you tell us in the Military to not offend your attackers)?
Or will the news from Iraq magically change when the left takes full, unchecked power? Will you finally ge to see the good news and real progress in Iraq the media has been hiding? Will you believe this was all the work of Obama?
Are you then brainwashed?
Hey Baby Hugo,
What color is the sky on your planet? Is it blue like here on Earth?
LOL. Is Porter as good an attorney as Sanford Kelson? Amy DeWald is lucky she didn’t get the chair. Amy needs to appeal based on ineffective representation by counsel.
Debate? There is no debating at West Chester. The CCPM has been given a “time out” by the West Chester Police Department because of their repeated thuggery and is not allowed to play with the other kids because the CCPM can’t control themselves.
That and the CCVM has decided to shun them.
CCPM is now just Porter’s nickname, “Chester County Prison Momma”.
ChrisG,
John Grant is one of those Vietnam Veterans Against the War dinosaurs reliving the 60’s glory days. He has said in public that he is proud of Winter Soldier, which called our troops baby killers and war criminals.
Observer,
Oh, yipeee…. On of those who spat in my parents face (both Army vets, both volunteers) and lied about actions of US Soldiers in Vietnam.
If my father was still alive, he would have another anurism seeing this fools and thier bastard IVAW organization in action. Same garbage, different decade.
ChrisG,
John Grant will point to the book Spitting Image and say that didn’t happen to your parents.
One small problem with that book, it’s written by a VVAW puke. It’s like expecting Hitler not to deny the Holocaust.
BTW, Grant was there at IVAW’s Winter Soldier replay where they are trying to trash the honor of this generation too.
Hippies. The 60’s are over, even Disco is dead, but like cock roaches, the VVAW hippies can be found under some slime covered rock.
ChrisG,
I’ve had to face this miscreant every weekend in West Chester.
Here a few videos I’ve crafted that highlight the character of John Grant.
