RAF Mourner Beaten Up For Having A Poppy
A SERVICE veteran has spoken of the moment two drunken thugs attacked him for wearing a poppy, screaming: “Death to all soldiers.”
Grandfather Anthony O’Brien, 69, had been preparing for a comrade’s funeral wearing his RAF blazer and campaign medals when the yobs pounced.
The pair – aged between 17 and 20 and Asian or mixed race – head-butted him and punched him to the floor.
He was taken to hospital with bruising, black eyes and an injured nose. The attack has left him in a wheelchair.
Yesterday, Mr O’Brien branded his attackers “cowardly scum”.
He added: “I wear my poppy with pride because of those people who laid down their lives for this country.
“I march every year on Remembrance Sunday, yet these thugs obviously treat all that with utter contempt.
“If they had any respect they wouldn’t have said what they did or attacked me.
“I wouldn’t do what they did to me to a dog. They are cowards for doing it to an older person. They should have picked on someone their own size.”
The incident happened near Mr O’Brien’s home in Fallowfield, Manchester, after he met friends to plan for the funeral of a former comrade the following day.
Mr O’Brien, who served in the 1960s, added: “As I was walking down the street, I saw these two lads at the end.
“As I got near them they started shouting: ‘Shoot all you bastards and blow your soldiers up. Death to all soldiers.’
“I was scared. I was wearing my RAF blazer and my 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 then the little fellow hit me on the side of my head.
“The other one must have run round because the next thing he was right in front of me and I didn’t have time to move and he head-butted me. Then they ran away. ”
Since the attack, friends from the Royal British Legion have sent Mr O’Brien food hampers as a token of goodwill but the shock of the assault has triggered heart and breathing problems.
He added: “I can’t sleep. I don’t know if I’ll ever forget it. I’m scared to go outside on my own now.”

So is this a 'Hate Crime' then?? Where are the Marxists to denounce this racial hatred and violence hmm, like they do when evil Racist whitey as much as says the wrong word??
The cheek of some people to say that 'white flight' occurs because the whites are 'racist' and 'prejudiced', and it has nothing to do with actions of the non-whites. Give me a break.
And obviously when dealing with the immigrinvasion, and all things 'white', I stop to acknowledge the small number of mostly asiatic-whites/AAA (alongside a diverse band of shabbat goys) who make up the illuminati that is causing all the trouble to begin with, but still...
