Woman Spits In Soldier's Face

[Eightball]

I posted this article and my comment on a couple other forums, and got some interesting replys/comments. Some had me scratching my head. There were some semi-apologists for this woman, and other's wanted more background. Many resented any connection to a political "bent" or "anti-war" connection being inferred.

I know that we all have differing views on the war or any wars with some folks, but I really think that this is a sad commentary on a lot of folks, and how they view our military folks that "answer the call" regardless of their personal feelings might be.

I also give the soldier a lot of credit for keep his, "cool", and letting the proper authorities handle this "assault".

Hopefully this gal wasn't Hepatitus A, B, or C, positive.

Woman Spits in Soldier's Face

Syracuse radio station WFBL reports that Lauren Maggi, 35, of Thurber Street was charged with harassment for spitting in a soldier's face at Hancock Airport.

The incident happened over the Thanksgiving holiday. Maggi approached a soldier from the 10th Mountain Division, who apparently was not in uniform, and asked if he was a soldier. When he said yes, Maggi allegedly spit in his face.

WFBL's news service is supplied by television station WTVH, which has nothing posted yet about the incident on its website. Syracuse.com carries this blurb:

• Woman accused of spitting on soldier A Syracuse woman was charged after a Fort Drum soldier accused her of spitting on him without provocation at Hancock Airport, Syracuse police said.

On January 18 of this year, Lauren Maggi, 34, of Thurber Street, was charged with endangering the welfare of a child.

Someone tell me again about how the Left supports the troops, but not their mission.

Update: More details:

Jason Jones, 21, told police a woman he did not know walked up to him near the United Airlines ticket counter, asked him if he was a Fort Drum solider and, when he responded that he was, spat in his face.

Police searched the airport garage and located a woman fitting the description that Jones provided, who was later identified as Maggi. Police escorted her into the terminal, where Jones identified her as the woman who had spit on him. A second soldier on the scene supported Jones' accusation, police said.

Maggi offered no explanation for her conduct, police said. She could not be reached for comment Thursday night.

I'd punched her out for being rude it is a job he is doing and it ain't all about killing. She'll look good in anger management telling her story!

Prosecute her for a hate crime----5-10 years outta do it.

Why waste your time? Some liberal Judge would rule she has a right to express her dissent over the illegal and immoral war being fought by bloodthirsty baby killers

Back, Dillo..


Read about this on another site a week ago.

Mostly Military folks there, it seems this is not an isolated thing.

Clearly.

I'm not even going to comment on this just yet.

I still see this as an assault. Here's my reasoning. Anyone know how deadly Hepatitus is? Certain strains are incurable. Good old spit is the best way to pass it along.

If that lady is infected with it, she has given this young man a slow death sentence.
......
I don't know if she had a political agenda, is solely luny, or both. I do know that she asked if he was stationed at a certain military base......and wa la! he got spittled in response to his, "Yes.". Someone on some other forum wondered if a G.I. had assaulted her from that military base, and she was filled with rage. I'm telling yah....the apologists just come out of the wood work!
.....
I still remember the working-over that G.I.'s got who were going to or coming back from South Vietnam back in the late 60's and early to mid 70's. It was absolutely disgraceful. These non-violent flower children hurled feces, spit, and all yelled all kinds of disrespectful epitaphs at our folks in uniform. It often happened in airports, bus or train stations.

You don't need any reasoning eightball - she's an arsehole....pure and simple. Obviously the guy was too much a gentleman to hit her...not that that would have been the right thing to do, but I doubt anybody would have had a go at him for doing so.

She probably voted for Kerry

We all know how libs feel about the "uneducated" members of the military

I recall when a man spit in Jane Fonda’s face. Do any of you who take offence at someone spitting on a soldier take offence at someone spitting on Jane Fonda?

You piece of shit! I couldn't imagine how you could support this bitch, but damned if you don't.

Jane Fonda's a treasonous bitch -- as in she took the side of our enemy during a war; while, this other sorry bitch spit in the face of a person who symbolizes this Nation. BIG difference.

The one that REALLY needs to be spit on here is YOU, dirtbag.

I say, you treat those you disagree with the same you would want them to treat you. So my vote is, "No, I wouldn't spit in Fonda's face, and don't think it would be right for anyone to do that.".

Do I agree with her politics, for sitting behind a Hanoi AA gun during the height of the Vietnam war, that was used to shoot down our airmen during that war? Absolutely not!! It was treasonous IMO!

There are more astute, and wise ways to disagree, and possibly even win someone over to your point of view. Spitting don't do it. Let Llamas and Camels resort to it, not humans.

Wow! How presumptuous and incorrect can you be?! Jane Fonda was a citizen voicing her opposition to the Vietnam War. The soldier was a citizen serving in the military. No, I don’t support the act of spitting in either case.

Jane Fonda was a US citizen who fraternized with the US's enemy, and appeared in propaganda footage supporting that enemy, during a time of war. Nothing presumptuous nor incorrect about it.

Her ass should be STILL in a prison for it. The hell with spitting on her.

As for usual, you leave no doubt about your willingness to spit on anyone with whom you disagree, GunnyL.

I was spat upon several times in 1971 and 1972 as I returned, in uniform, from Viet Nam and each time by women. I understand that those that spat upon me then are now inclined to vote republican. I will not get into the psychology of that at this time with you. But your reaction to this dilemma is interesting.

There was a shameful end to the Viet Nam War by any standard. The most shame about it is that it was not necessary or advisable in the very first place. The second most shameful part of that American experience is that there are those who still do not understand the original sin there. The third most despicable thing is there are those who use the Viet Nam experience to justify the present War on no certain people or definable concept other than "Terror".

Equally despicable are those that rant on and on about the Islamic World, the Muslims, the extremists and the radicals without ever realizing they too are considered extreme and radical by most if not all that we now War against.

There is no doubt in my mind that I am speaking way beyond your comprehension so I'll shut up now and see what you have to say. You and I both fully support our troops. But I don't support any illegal or unjustified War and that is the difference between you and me.

You piece of shit! I couldn't imagine how you could support this bitch, but damned if you don't.

As much as I might want to do so, I would never spit or encourage anyone else to spit on YOU.

Voicing her opposition to the Vietnam War?

Do you see what she is sitting on? It is an anti-aircraft gun that was used to shoot at our pilots. That is more than voicing an opposition to the war.
