NY Post Smears Activist For "Wheelchair Assault"

prisonplanet.com — The NY Post is facing a lawsuit after it brazenly smeared a 9/11 truth activist for attacking a wheelchair-bound woman in New York last night, when in fact it was the activist himself who was beaten up by the girls father according to eyewitnesses.

  • jcm267, on 04/24/2008, -45/+18So you assholes are defending people who beat up handicapped girls? Buried as inaccurate. Go to hell, Paul.
    • Chewbacca2000, on 04/24/2008, -12/+29YOU ARE THE ONE WHO'S "INACCURATE" PAL! THIS STORY IS BULLSH*T, THE GIRL'S FATHER WAS A PSYCHO WHO USED HIS POOR DAUGHTER AS AN EXCUSE TO ATTACK THE GUY FOR SPEAKING OUT AGAINST BUSH! WATCH THIS VIDEO WITH AN EYEWITNESS: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UlvMl6R3rJQ
      • jcm267, on 04/24/2008, -26/+18So Gary's friend says that he's innocent and that means that it is so? What about the rest of the eyewitnesses? There had to be over a dozen civilians there watching the whole thing. How many of them have come forward in Gary's defense? Oh yeah.
        • markvand, on 04/24/2008, -12/+22You have the footage of the guy attacking Gary, what's your problem? You'd deny the sun is yellow if Rush Limbaugh told you it's green...
          • jcm267, on 04/24/2008, -20/+17Where in the video does it show anyone attacking Gary?
          • markvand, on 04/24/2008, -11/+162:40?
          • jcm267, on 04/24/2008, -18/+14Really? I just saw the screen go black.
          • markvand, on 04/24/2008, -10/+19You're living in denial jcm. You can even hear Gary saying "get out of my face"...
            BTW: jcm's comment having 4 diggs??? Seems like reinforcement has arrived...
          • LucidOne, on 04/24/2008, -9/+18Yeah, the trolls are out in full force today. The heat must have roused them from their burrows.
          • card51short, on 04/25/2008, -6/+10cmon don't fall for JCM's schemes...he'll go against whatever we say to elicit a response.
            There are no eyewitnesses backing up his claims, yet he believes the Post, when, if any other day they published something he didn't like, he'd say the Post is not a trusty news source.

            Even the mother of the handicapped girl was yelling at the assaulter to stop. Why would she want her husband to stop defending her daughter's alleged assault?
          • Hortnon, on 04/25/2008, -6/+9No eyewitnesses, eh? Yet, after taking statements, the police arrested him and not the other guy.

            Oh, I see, you believe what PrisonPlanet tells you without question. I'm sorry, carry on, sheep.
        • nagazaki, on 04/24/2008, -13/+19Did you see the video? He wasn't hitting the girl.

          By the way, why do you use the term civilian? Are you in the military or something?
          • jcm267, on 04/24/2008, -20/+19Did you see the video? It shows nothing.
          • nagazaki, on 04/24/2008, -11/+22Yes, the guy attacked him after he yelled at Laura and her daughter, but it cuts out at that point. Do you have any evidence that he was hitting the girl, other than her father alleging that in the NY post?
          • onetimer, on 04/24/2008, -21/+16Yes. The multiple eyewitnesses that collaborated the fact that the guy was hitting the girl. The video also happening to conveniently cut out at that point is rather suspicious as well.
          • nagazaki, on 04/24/2008, -7/+20What eyewitnesses are you talking about?
          • card51short, on 04/25/2008, -8/+8"Yes. The multiple eyewitnesses that collaborated the fact that the guy was hitting the girl."

            Please share your sources!

            "What eyewitnesses are you talking about?"

            It's onetimer...he makes up things all the time.
          • Parapadrifter, on 04/25/2008, -5/+8*crickets* yea, whats that word? uh conjecture.. hmmm... onetimer... what a piece of work
          • Hortnon, on 04/25/2008, -6/+9card, again trying to pretend he can criticize others for making stuff up. Pathetic.

            So, if you guys honestly think the police had no supporting statements from any eyewitnesses, explain why the police didn't just arrest everyone involved with WeAreChange and confiscate the camera?
        • Parapadrifter, on 04/25/2008, -5/+10jcm I used to think that you had substance behind your views, but you've convinced me that yer totally insane, biased, and care not for truth and justice. Why the ***** would he hit a girl in a wheelchair? Especially when he's critisizing the emperor.
      • markvand, on 04/24/2008, -8/+21Thank you for posting that video! Now it's 100% clear who is right!
      • LucidOne, on 04/24/2008, -6/+20Yeah thanks for the video Chewbacca! Shows these trolls to be the liars they are!

      • card51short, on 04/25/2008, -4/+13the mother, according to eyewitnesses, was yelling at her husband to stop.
    • 2manyneocons, on 04/25/2008, -4/+1Ever hear of several people witnessing and watching a women being assaulted over a fairly long period of time and not one trying to help the woman or even calling the police. Great testament for NYC residents.
      • JohnReb, on 04/25/2008, -2/+3Kitty Genovese was in 1964 in Queens. Not in 2008 in Manhattan. Wrong century and wrong county. But it sounds to me like someone called the cops here and got the assaulter arrested this time.
  • onetimer, on 04/24/2008, -39/+14Buried as inaccurate. You are just as bad as he is for defending this troofer scum.
    • SamHouston1886, on 04/25/2008, -6/+6Were you one of the Weehawken Five?
      We know who really did this.
      These Goy have some hot fire for your ass.
      Why are you people so cowardly?
      Always using lies, murder and deceit to get your way.
      When the truth comes out you will have nowhere to hide.
    • cyborgmind, on 04/25/2008, -6/+9I must put my 2 cents in. This article IS ACURATE. Were you there onetimer? I don't think so. I know the "accused" personally. The media has it in for WeAreChange. Any & all assults on WeAreChange for them is deemed "necessary" so the truth does not get out. For all the trolls & minions on here your time is coming. You are all BDA's.
      • Hortnon, on 04/25/2008, -9/+8"Were you there....I know the accused personally."

        Ah, so you weren't there either. Good to know.
      • card51short, on 04/25/2008, -6/+9Hortnon, why would a group that preaches non-violence and has NO history of committing violence, suddenly beat up a girl in a wheelchair in front of a bunch of people?
        You will believe this because you don't like 911 truthers...but where is your proof?
        • Hortnon, on 04/25/2008, -9/+8The group didn't. The guy did.
          • card51short, on 04/25/2008, -5/+7so...you have no proof?
          • Hortnon, on 04/25/2008, -6/+6We'll know what really happened if there's a trial. Though, I'm not sure how bad the charges have to be for a trial in New York for assault.

            Speaking of proof, do YOU have any proof?
  • LucidOne, on 04/24/2008, -11/+34Didn't take the neoCON troll JCM long to get here! Of course he lies and misrepresents the facts completely! The truth is this is a disturbing story of a conservative nut case who beat up a young man for demonstrating against Bush and then used his daughter's disability to have him arrested for assault. The young man did absolutely NOTHING to his wheelchair bound daughter. Of course the thug cops where all too happy to arrest the victim despite eyewitness accounts of his innocence. Disgusting! JCM you really should read the articles before you comment, that way you wouldn't sound like such an douche bag!
    • jcm267, on 04/24/2008, -23/+14What makes you think that I didn't read this "article"?
      • LucidOne, on 04/24/2008, -8/+23Because as usual you don't know what the hell you're talking about!
        • jcm267, on 04/24/2008, -22/+11OK. Please explain to me why the only eyewitnesses who side with Gary are from the WeAreIdiots group.
        • LucidOne, on 04/24/2008, -9/+22I think you are confused again JCM. The group is called "WeAreChange", you and JCM are the "idiots".
          • swifterwater, on 04/25/2008, -7/+3"jcm267" and "onetimer" are obviously neocon shills. No one can actually be this obtuse.
            COMPLETELY IGNORE THEM AND THEY MAY GO AWAY. Do not waste your time and clutter this forum. It's what they live for.
            The opposite of hate is NOT love, it is indifference. Be indifferent.
        • card51short, on 04/25/2008, -5/+10jcm what eyewitnesses side with the lunatic Bush supporter?
          • Hortnon, on 04/25/2008, -7/+6Probably the ones the police based their arrest on, that PrisonPlanet conveniently forgets to mention.
          • card51short, on 04/25/2008, -0/+4ahh...so you don't know either?
      • Parapadrifter, on 04/25/2008, -2/+8what does the girl say?
      • cyborgmind, on 04/25/2008, -4/+8JCM... were you there? Did you see the incident happen? Do you know any of WAC members personally? You are just as ignorant as the rest of the BDA's on here.
  • markvand, on 04/24/2008, -12/+32This is just too much. They're now blatantly lying. How could anyone believe after watching the video that Gary attacked the girl instead of her father attacking him? Gary obviously tries to avoid a violent confrontation with this man while the man is insinuating he'll commit violence against him. When Gary says the man can't tell him where he can and can't go he says "you wanna bet", trying to dominate him. Why would Gary try to hurt his daughter? The least of all things he wants is angering this man. When Gary starts confronting our psychopathic president's family members the man loses it and attacks him. Dumb people often look up to "officials", they can't handle it when someone says things like Gary does. This man is like Hitler's brown shirts, intimidating the opposition and always using violence.
    • onetimer, on 04/24/2008, -24/+13Go ***** yourself, you're deliberately lying. The video conveniently goes blank right before the assault, and doesn't so *****. Meanwhile, all the non-wearechange eyewitnesses claimed they saw this man assaulting that girl.
      • markvand, on 04/24/2008, -8/+19Tell me onetimer, who was threatening whom?
      • card51short, on 04/25/2008, -8/+9yeah!! you tell em onetimer!! The screen went blank before the assault and Gary comes out with his face smashed...OBVIOUSLY it was Gary who beat the other guys ass.
        • Hortnon, on 04/25/2008, -6/+8He looks fine in the recently released video..."face smashed"? Hardly.
        • card51short, on 04/25/2008, -7/+5fair enough...it was days ago though...maybe it wasn't "smashed in" but even the assaulter admits he took the law into his own hands and beat the guy up.
          I don't see you condemning his vigilant behavior like you always do...weird...I wonder why...
          • Hortnon, on 04/25/2008, -4/+7If the guy's story is true, I would expect him to defend his daughter violently.

            While we're on the subject, I haven't seen you even hint that you might doubt WAC's story. I wonder why...
          • card51short, on 04/25/2008, -0/+5"If the guy's story is true, I would expect him to defend his daughter violently."

            As would I. I would also expect him to get arrested for assaulting someone.

            "While we're on the subject, I haven't seen you even hint that you might doubt WAC's story. I wonder why..."

            Well, I'm not SURE obviously because I wasn't there BUT I am a member of WAC and we are strictly against violent acts. To think that, not only would one member suddenly act in violence but, attack a defenseless girl in a wheel chair would be a stretch. I'm going to have to see some evidence to believe that!

            The fact that this story has only been picked up by the Post and Michelle Malkin, two sources dedicated to discrediting us, only compounds the issue.

            You're free to believe whatever you want with no evidence, however.
          • Hortnon, on 04/25/2008, -4/+1"You're free to believe whatever you want with no evidence, however."
      • Look4Truth, on 04/25/2008, -7/+9Gee guys, don't you know the lamestream media is the ONLY place to get the truth? Right twotimer?
    • cyborgmind, on 04/25/2008, -8/+10I know Gary and he is very nice guy. He would never do anything any thing like this to anyone. EVERYONE has it in for WAC - any opportunity to ruin the groups name/reputation they will do. The NWO doesn't like the fact that there are actual people confronting their lies. The truth will come out on our side.
      • Herkimer56, on 04/25/2008, -10/+4They do an excellent job of ruining their own reputation by acting like a bunch of spoiled children in public. And now they've turned violent just as everyone always knew they would.
        • card51short, on 04/25/2008, -1/+8Herkimer even if this guy did act violence (with no evidence supporting your wild theories) it doesn't mean we as a group are violent.
  • nicepants, on 04/24/2008, -33/+11"The NY Post is facing a lawsuit" LOL For what? I would rather be in the NY Post's shoes than be in the shoes of that idiot twoofer who attacked a handicapped girl.
    • amishdigger, on 04/24/2008, -9/+9People who "run against the wind" tend to find themselves outnumbered and chanceless. Thank god you're not one of them!
    • LucidOne, on 04/24/2008, -9/+18Despite what you neoCON trolls think it's still illegal in this country to slander an innocent man and print lies about him. I know you guys are used to doing that every day anonymously on the web but the NY Post doesn't have that luxury. They are responsible for what they print!
    • markvand, on 04/24/2008, -7/+17Do you REALLY believe that? Gary was just standing there, he saw a handicapped girl and he thought: "hmm, I bet I could beat her up" and next starts hititng her. He had never seen the girl before, clearly wasn't intoxicated, tries to avoid conflict when he's with her dad and on top of that there were other people there, why would he beat her up? It's utter nonsense. You can tell from the video if there's anyone who would act violent it's the man threathing Luke, since he's the one saying Gary can't even stand on that side of the street if he says doesn't want him to. I don't know if you've ever been in such situations but when someones acting like that he's trying to act like some kind of dominant alpha male. He hád to show how though he is when Gary starts shouting at first lady, which shows he's not afraid of this man, otherwise it'd severely hurt this guy's ego.
      • amishdigger, on 04/24/2008, -6/+15Simple, WeAreChange started by calling out some hard questions, someone else then _responded_ by assaulting them.
    • cyborgmind, on 04/25/2008, -2/+7Because they are ones who are liable for LYING. The story is one sided.
      • nicepants, on 04/26/2008, -1/+1Lying? really? How do we know YOU aren't just lying?

  • CoolHandLuke70, on 04/24/2008, -11/+24To JCM and Herhimer, how often do you hear of someone beating up a girl in a wheelchair? I mean really! Do you think that the story just might be *****!?! What makes sense to me is that sheepish, jingoistic, pituitary retard let his pent-up worship of American flags made in China get the better of himself and then involved his wife and handicapped daughter as an alibi when he realized that he could get in serious trouble. Does that sound reasonable sherlocks? Do you guys have that fuzzy troll hair too, probably look like retarded oompa loompas?!
    • amishdigger, on 04/24/2008, -7/+13Good point! it's just too "convenient" to have a _helpless_ victim on display for the press. In truth the "victim" couln't be more brutal, reckless and lying.
    • LucidOne, on 04/24/2008, -6/+15"What makes sense to me is that sheepish, jingoistic, pituitary retard let his pent-up worship of American flags made in China get the better of himself"

      Hilarious! I applaud you sir!
    • LucidOne, on 04/24/2008, -6/+16What possible motivation would he have to attack a young girl in a wheelchair? It makes absolutely no sense whatsoever! It just goes to show how gullible these NeoNuts are. They'll believe anything if it fits into their sick and demented world view.
    • Le4rner, on 04/25/2008, -2/+8God bless you good sir, That was funny. "oompa loompas", I actually laughed out loud. Seriously, I needed that. I barely use did but it seems to me in every story dealing with hot political issues jcm267 and a few other, post VERY soon after a story hits and then troll it. I mean it is obviously a grudge, obsession or something like that.
      • NgoDimPhuk, on 04/26/2008, -0/+2jcm267 is very hateful person who makes racist fun of names
  • amishdigger, on 04/24/2008, -7/+24They're using the justice system as a weapon to take dissenters' rights away - the little rights we still have left! Godspeed to WeAreChange, they deserve our full support.

    The courts are a major part of what's wrong in today's government. Everybody who has faced these "clowns in robes" eye to eye, who has seen mountains of money spend on legal help knows that.
  • ssn697, on 04/24/2008, -25/+15Oh, I forgot the whole "wearechage is asking for a civil rights lawyer to contact them". So, no lawsuit, and no lawyer. Yeah, a lawyer is going to take a civil rights lawsuit when the guy was ARRESTED. So the Post is libeling, because they reported it?

    Really, how ***** far gone are these people?
    • card51short, on 04/25/2008, -4/+9yeah you're right...he was arrested. Case closed. He assaulted the wheelchair girl.
      Seriously, man...you're smarter than this...you just will never take a "twoofers" side. ANY other day ssn697 would condemn the Post as non-reliable.

      But, you're right...I'm sure he just chose to beat up a girl in a wheel chair for the hell of it with no eyewitnesses saying he did.
      • Hortnon, on 04/25/2008, -8/+8*with no eyewitnesses that PrisonPlanet will mention

        You honestly believe PrisonPlanet would report "Hey, someone from WeAreChange is a girl-beating moron"? That requires journalistic integrity.
      • card51short, on 04/25/2008, -6/+5"*with no eyewitnesses that PrisonPlanet will mention

        You honestly believe PrisonPlanet would report "Hey, someone from WeAreChange is a girl-beating moron"? That requires journalistic integrity."

        No. Obviously PrisonPlanet, a site with 10s of millions of hits a month is lying to the public to let Al Qaeda attack us again and make way for a new leftist regime to take control of our minds!!!
        Deniers always think everyone BUT the government is out to get them. We just think the government is.
        • Hortnon, on 04/25/2008, -6/+7Answer the question. Do you think PrisonPlanet would report that story?
          • card51short, on 04/25/2008, -5/+4sure! They would probably question the WAC member of being an agent though or something because WAC does not participate in violence.
          • Hortnon, on 04/25/2008, -5/+4Of course they would leap to the rational conclusion...that the person must be IN ON IT!

            You're just being a silly troll anymore...
          • card51short, on 04/25/2008, -0/+4well i am admitting they would think it was an agent...BECAUSE WAC IS NON VIOLENT!!!

    Luke Rudkowski doing nothing violent or illegal and being set up. This keeps happening to We Are Change!
  • Ausverkauft, on 04/24/2008, -22/+13Lets be honest. You 9-11 Deniars WANT a confrontation with the police. You WANT to get arrested, get beaten up, so you can then yell about the 1st amendment, martial law, police state, etc etc. Thats why, rather then politely expressing your views in a forumn the way mature adults do, you harrass people, you chase people, you insult people, you call them murderers and traitors. This is not how someone who respects democracy acts.

    Not only that, but you yell and scream about how the NY Post doesnt use the word "alleged" criminal..when you yourselves accuse larry silverstein, bush, and other neo-cons of being mass murderes..even without a trial or evidence!!

    you are a bunch of media whore, selfish, arrogant, paranoid, children. please get a life. better yet..please get arrested. then maybe you will get the help you need!!
    • CoolHandLuke70, on 04/25/2008, -8/+11Your philosophy is the exact reason why this country is going down the drain. 'Democracy' is not having freedom of speech?! You must be very happy with the way things are going then! When a supposed 'democratic' country's government designates protest areas that are nowhere in view of the event being protested, supports big brother styled unlimited wire-tapping and cctv, condones torture and burns through lawyers using every tactic in the book to make sure that they are not held liable for their in-our-face criminal enterprise, claims their goal in war and at home is 'democracy' and liberty yet does their best to remove civil liberties across the board, uses 'signing statements' and makes repressive laws to the point that every time you fart it had better be sanctioned by the state, keeps referring to a continuity of government plan that it will not let congress evaluate, etc.---it is time to say something and to afflict the comfortable ignoramuses like yourself! There are many people and groups like We Are Change who are taking a stand against encroaching tyranny. They are heroes PERIOD! And if you are unable to see how martial law is a breath away due to this despotism then perhaps your lack of intelligence can be attributed to the dumbing down of Americans, but I bet your problem is that you were just made from weak sperm!
