American Flag Carrier Assaulted in Vieques

Limited, non-live-fire training resumed in Vieques, Puerto Rico today. A man carrying an American flag made the mistake of getting too close to an anti-Navy rally. Reuters reports " a woman raced toward him and punched him in the face. Within minutes, a crowd . . . began beating him."

After the bleeding man was carried off, one of the leaders of the Vieques peace movement, Father Nelson Lopez, a Catholic priest no less, said "the man should have taken his protest elsewhere." The good father might profitably consult the book of Luke, chapter 10, verses 34-35.
