BDS outbreak: Anti-war nut attacks wheelchair-bound girl; Update: Video link, “We Are Change” assailant info added
Scroll down for updates…
They don’t have a mugshot of the attacker yet, but when they do, it’ll be another item to add to the Unhinged mugshot collection. Yeah, it’s getting crowded.
Via the NYPost:
A man heckling First Lady Laura Bush and daughter Jenna outside the 92nd Street Y was arrested after he punched a wheelchair-bound girl whose parents has told him to shut up, authorities said yesterday. German Talis, 22, was shouting obscenities at the Bushes, who were leaving the building Tuesday, when he crossed paths with Wendy and John Lovetro and their daughter Maureen, 18, who has cerebral palsy.
They had been in the audience to hear the Bushes talk about their children’s book, “Read All About It.”
“He began yelling about Iraq and Iran at Jenna Bush. She was waving at the crowd. I told the guy, ‘What are you doing? Shut up. This is about a child and books,’ ” said John Lovetro. “He was unperturbed. I said, ‘Get out of here! You’re being a moron!’ ”
The next thing he knew, Talis was allegedly punching Maureen – a fan of the first lady since meeting her in 2004.
“I heard my daughter hysterical yelling, ‘He’s hitting me!’ ” said Wendy Lovetro.
“He punched her on the shoulder blades, but that wasn’t enough,” she said.
“My husband pushed the wheelchair away from him and he reached beyond my husband and began pounding my daughter in the thigh.”
I expect Linn Benton Community College will offer Talis a full scholarship ASAP.

Several readers send video from the “We Are Change” site. These left-wing, Truther agitators claim that the Lovetros attacked one of their loons, whom they identity as “Gary.”
Arraignment is scheduled for tomorrow.
This group seems to be able to make quite a nice living as professional disrupters. Wonder who funds them?
Here’s a lovely group portrait:

Insanity consumes the country. Plain old crazy.
OY!
Don’t let something like wheelchair bound young lady with cerebral palsy get in the way your BDS conniption fit.
Has common sense and decency gone the way of chivalry?
BDS…I think not. This is just plain old crude, obnoxious behavior.
Is this for real?
Holy crap.
There are lines that should never be crossed….by anyone. And, this nut went way beyond that line by striking a young lady that is wheelchair bound due to cerebral palsy.
All I can say is that it is a good thing I was not witness to such an event or I surely would have caught charges myself for attempting to adjust his outlook on why he thinks is appropriate to assault someone in a wheelchair.
Geez! That makes my blood boil!
You have got to be sh__ing me.
GRRRRRRRRRRR…that sob would have thrown his last punch if i was there…i’d love humiliating an a$$hole like that, actually derive some pleasure from it i’m sure.
Sure, why go after the parents who were the only ones who said anything. The brave thing to do would be go after the kid in the wheelchair.
He should be real happy I wasn’t there – they’d be hosing him off of the sidewalk.
Get ready….
“I could no more disown German Talis than I could disown the entire enraged and rabid moonbat community that has cast itself at my exalted feet.”
Send him to work at the VA hospital were posters of his actions are everywhere!
Huh?
Frickin’ unhinged liberals are destroying our country.
I wish some libtard would do something like that in my line of sight.
So, pummeling a defenseless kid in a wheelchair is okay but taking down a murderous dictator is not. I am torn between despising the left more for their idiocy or for their utter lack of decency
I would love to be a juror on his trial.
those liberals sure are manly…picking on wheelchair bound females with cerebral palsy. in fact, trying to get around the able bodied man to beat on the wheel chair bound female.
remember the thread questioning whether you could date a liberal?
This is beyond BDS, though. It shows a tolerance for assault on the left as long as it’s for political purposes. Suppose the disabilities advocates will speak up for her?
I’d love to put him in a wheelchair, personally. And then some.
they’d be hosing him off of the sidewalk.
LOL Uncle Monk!
PB, I’m imagining that sambo is thinking that his penalty should be to have to work at VA Hospital where his moonbat insanity is advertised in full.
1000 hours of that would be a pure delight for this pond scum, I am sure.
rooster, i’ve been almost PRAYING a liberal does something unhinged within my leaping range.
OK, so with any luck and any functional justice system, he’ll be 32 or so when he gets out of Attica. At that point he will be nearly middle-aged, unskilled, unemployable, and flagged as a convict. Was his faux ‘rage’ against Bush really worth that? Destroying his entire f’ing life??
I keep hoping, praying these people aren’t really this stupid, but they insist on proving that they are.
God have mercy on his soul.
Ah, that makes sense.
Situations like this make me believe vigilante justice isn’t too bad in some cases. I’m still mad as he** that some idiot would do something like this to a wheelchair-bound person.
So…what next?! He get’s infront of some liberal, “Reform first” judge in like 6 mos. then what, can we all agree Nothing will happen to this idiot. I hope his mug shot is plastered all over the internet and we can all be exposed to his face… so we can do a little… how do you say.. plastic surgery!!!
Oh I so wish that I had been there, I would have had to of pumled this idiot and when the police showed up to arrest me my response would have been “He must have tripped over the wheel chair I did’nt touch him, must have been the concrete” as he lay bleeding profusely from his head.
Hitting a wheelchair bound physically impaired young lady of someone who has told you to shut your trap, has to be some of the worst kinda evil out there….
Yeh! No kiddin!
A kid with cerebral palsy in a wheelchair? Is he going to claim self-defense?
That was my first thought too mbruce. And I would add having to do it in a wheelchair with his mouth taped shut, so he couldn’t spew for anymore of his bile.
But this act of violence is really leaving a bad taste in my mouth and a really bad thought in my head…..
BDSer’s, who side with the anti-war fanatic Obummer, have reached new lows. Punching a disabled young woman? How low can you go?
Yes, I know it’s a rhetorical question. We are talking about liberals so there are really no limitations for their hatred toward the Bush Administration and the military.
What a wack job!
omg,
German Talis: a reason why I wear steel capped boots.
Well you know the standard radical, liberal retort: “WE have to be violent. It’s the only thing those fascists understand.”
Zero excuses. The man is a menace to society. “Arrested.” Should have been pummeled for “resisting” arrest first.
Jerk!
Hate crime, anyone? Tack on a few years.
The moonbat legal experts will argue that Bush/Rove/FOX/neocons caused temporary insanity so he is not responsible for his actions. It is Bush that should be on trial!
Wow. Not that I question your sleuthing skills, Michelle, but I’ll wait to see if Rusty or lgm have any further details.
I’m sure lgm can provide an example of equal moral outrage, perhaps a documented case where a republican operative looked at a liberal girl funny.
Or maybe Rusty will show us that, beyond the specifics of this case, Mr. Talis’ actions was taken out of context.
Only is she claims to be gay.
The far left seems to excuse any behavior because of the greater good of their intentions. Spiking trees to injure or kill loggers is okay because it is for the environment. Threatening or attacking researchers and their families is okay but they want to protect animals. Burning and looting is okay because they don’t like the World Bank. Any aboslutely, positively anything is okay if it can somehow hurt GWB
Oh, and in the name of “peace,” too.
BrianNY,
Good one. If only we would pause and wait for the two wise men to show up. We wouldn’t have to look so ridiculous when they prove us wrong.
I’m with Uncle Monkey, if that had been MY daughter, this goon would not have been arrested yet. The cops would be waiting until he got out of the Intensive Care Unit at Bellvue.
When I see such behavior by anti-war zealots (especially of the liberal persuasion), I just want to scream!!! It depresses the hell out of me. What have we come to as a nation when people can’t deal with their anger management issues and instead take them out on other people?
I hope this perfect speciman of humanity gets a nice little jail sentence for what he did. On top of that, he should do community service working with handicapped folks.
You just don’t treat people like that, I don’t care who you are.
….Okay, I’m better now. Now for a nice thought. I hope the family (and esp. Maureen) are better. Maureen sure didn’t deserve to be beset upon by this [insert your own imaginitive pronoun].
emjem24,
Couldn’t agree with you more. It’s behavior that was never corrected as a youth, I’m almost certain.
Lemme see here; A man tells this idiot to shut up. Rather than take it up with the man, the idiot attacks a helpless teenager in a wheelchair.
And they honestly think we’re supposed to respect them? They’re so cowardly they, like all bullies, attack helpless people.
I think her father needs to get a concealed carry license, and a .38.
Tre, I find that a .45 is more suited to social occasions
emjem24, hopefully his cell mate “bubba” is a mean matha with a young sister or daughter in a wheel chair.
Okay, this ticks me off to the ‘nth degree. Freakin coward.
But, WTH dad? I have 4 girls and I would take on Joe Frasier if he tried to hit them (and I would beat him too).
This creep appears to be a part of the 9/11 truthers..found info about him at http://www.wearechange.org….gave to MM already. Still looking for photo.
I hate to sound critical as I wasn’t there and don’t know the logistics. Like everyone else, my info comes only from this article. My question is why wasn’t the Mom pushing the wheelchair out of the way while the Dad rained blows down upon assh…umm…I mean assailant?
This guy (college student, I’d bet) is begging for a whooping.
BBQ sauce…big, hungry dog…moonbat.
Some assembly required.
Between attackign wheelchair bound people in the article above and stealign wallets from ROTC students having seizures
http://www.breitbart.tv/html/83643.html
I am starting to wonder what the world is coming to. I am just glad they caught the guy…
A prime example of liberal tolerance
and they want us to respect them and their beliefs?
This story, especially reaching around an adult to hit a child in a wheel chair, really made my skin crawl.
I TRULY felt nauseous.
This monster, German Talis 22, needs to be in jail for those horrific actions. ( he’s lucky to still be walking himself)
NICE JOB CODE PINK!
You are partially to BLAME!!!
Ah, what happens when our wonderful youth fail to understand the basic link between the right to life and non-initiation of force, and the fact that the existance of civilization depends upon both. Perhaps some college prof told him that speech he disagrees with is “mental” force, so he can retaliate with physical force. All I see here is the basic inability of the modern
maner, creep, to understand the basic things necessary for the productive existance of society. Nothing to see here, move along…Gentlemen, I’m sure there is a logical explanation for this unfortunate incident.
It must be that, . . .
Well, he could have . . .
Somebody else must have . . .
Nope, not even in my wildest imagination could I think of one, either. Where’s my aluminum bat?
More info from the wearechange idiots:
The babies are now looking for an attorney, the poor moonbat was locked up for 13hours!!! Waaaaaaaahhh…
Oh and look, they even gave us an email address!!!

ATTORNEYS NEEDED! Update on WeAreChange Arrests
Update as of 12:20PM EST:
Recently confirmed with Officer Peter Kenn; Gary has been transfered to Central Bookings and is still being held on Assault 3 charges. The arrest number is: m08635912. We have been informed it is not likely that he will see a judge before this evening. Gary has already been held for over 13 hours, overnight. New York City Central Bookings Phone Number: 212-374-3921 (option 4)
We are in need of east coast based attorneys who are willing to donate or offer reduced fee’s for the criminal defense of Gary & Matt Lepacek. We will also pursue legal action against the NYPD and security at the 92′nd street YMCA. Please email pursuitofliberty@gmail.com if you would like to offer legal services or provide a recommendation.
He reminds me of the hero I encountered upon returning from Vietnam. I was severely wounded in my right foot, wearing a walking cast & using a cane to aid my walk. A group of Army returnees went out of SF airport ahead of me. the hero didn’t say a word to them, but decided it would be OK to spit on a Marine Green uniform that wasn’t moving well. He missed with the spit bomb, but my cane opened up a nice 4-5 gash on the side of his head. the funniest part was a SF cop observed it, & told the hero & his very ugly girlfriend that he saw the assault & if they wanted to make a deal out of it he would arrest both of them for assault. After the hero left it turned out the cop was ex-Army. FYI, I was officially Navy (corpsman) who served with the Marines & still consider myself a Marine as I spent the bulk of my time with them.
If I wasn’t a gentleman, I’d seek this villiage idiot out and make certain that some truths were ingrained into his psyche permanently. This is beyond disgusting.
Michelle, about the family, is there any indicator that they are have troubles due to supporting this young lady with medical bills? If so, I’d like to donate to help their legal and/or medical costs.
Too bad his BDS couldn’t be cured with a self defense concealed weapon.
Under ADA & c., a disabled girl has a higher level of legal protection than a homosexual. The law still usually manages to protect those who actually need legal protection.
If I was around I would probably be arrested for beating the you know what about the attacker. I bet he has a peace symbol on the back of his precious Prius.
ROFLROFL.
i can’t even be mad. they’re so pathetic.
That is exactly what I was thinking. I fully expect lgm to pop in and accuse MM of printing things she knows nothing about and then to argue that we are all horrible people for passing judgment without knowing anything more than what we read here. (Maybe for good measure he’ll throw in some snide comment about how he, as a Christian, is better than those who would wish harm on a man just for assaulting a wheelchair-bound girl with cerebral palsy.)
As pathetic as they are, they still need to be added to the FBI’s domestic terrorist watch list.
Wow! If CP is this scumbag’s prerequisite, I would gladly step in line & let him try me for size and I won’t even use the scooter as an ankle crusher.
I thinks this guy needs to look for a security detail before he spends time tracking down a lawyer.
I don’t know who Dorfster is, but I came across this joke which I find very amusing:
The anti-U.S. side is better funded,better organized, and slicker than we are.
Aside from being “slick” I think we have a lot to learn.
Organize
Fund
Bring cameras!!!
Come as a group—the lone wolf gets picked off….
I wonder if Keith Olberman will make this bozo his worst person or will it just be O’Reilly again. He probably isn’t aware of this story unless someone from media matters (who constanty are tuned in to Rush and Fox News) tell him first.
German Talis.. What kind of name is that? If it sounds like a Nazi, and acts like a Nazi – must be a Nazi.
No offence to anyone of Germanic origin- it just seemed to fit here.
Christian Soldier: The radicals always have those traits going for them.
CS – we are eagles –
I would have loved to have worked off some energy by smacking him 6 ways to Sunday. It’s been a long winter, I’ve got spring fever, and that moron deserves a good, sound thrashing.
I watched all of their video as I could stomach. I was sitting and hoping that the agent would drop him like a bad habit, when he refused to remove himself from the zone they had established and, then write down the USC he could look up later, when he made bail.
You might be right and you might be wrong, but so far you only have one side of the story. It often turns out that this side is wrong. Let’s not rush to judgment.
A slightly misspelled anagram of WeAreChange would be:
Somebody help me…or stop me.
Even by the extremist group’s own video, law enforcement didn’t seem to be in too big of a rush. It was just another routine episode of dealing with radicals from their peacable assembly.
It took a little longer than I thought, but there it is.
Whee, carnage!
We anger each
New age reach (?)

lgm, I would LOVE to play a game of high stakes poker with you.
Even after looking at the video update, we see “Gary” defying the Secret Service agent asking for some form of ID, and then arguing constitutional law with the NYC cop who put him in the wagon. Not exactly my idea of a guardian of my constitutional rights.
Maybe lgm is right. We don’t have the whole story. It must be the same thing that happened to Marion Barry. “G-D bitch set me up!”
lgm, let see you justify a man of any intelligence striking a female wheel chair bound…com on big guy let’s see it…you whimp
There’s something truly awful about your post lgm, almost an implied longing that this person’s attack on a wheelchair bound girl is somehow justified.
What do you think would justify that EXACTLY?
If that was my daughter I would be in the next jail cell because I would have broken this man jaw after touching my little girl!!!

What a bunch of douchebags.
Matt – I wondered this as well. If you go to the NY Post article it ends with this:
These liberals are more and more becoming the dregs of society.
If that was my kid this POS was hitting, he would soon have first hand experience living life in a wheelchair.
Another liberal “real man” for peace beating up an 18 year old woman in a wheel chair. Here is hoping he gets the maximum penalty for assault. The unhinged liberals are becoming bolder and more dangerous to the general public everyday.
If it had been John Kerry speaking, then, I suppose, he would have been tazed? Bro?
That idiot would have had the opportunity to take a helicopter flight…..to the nearest trauma center.
I wonder if his group will throw him out or just suspend him???
Coregis #93
I wonder if his group will throw him out or just suspend him???
Given their lunacy, they will erect a monument to him for his brave stand against the wheelchair bound girl.
Wish I could have been their, the cops would have had to pull me off of him & could have arrested me as well. With any luck I could have got another shot at this coward in the jail cell.
More of your “reasoning” and “facts” presentation on display again, lgm?
What would you know about it? How these pinheads regularly harass the Bush family? How these scum harass the military and their families?
Do you just think that all these BDS incidents are made up? You know what… you really need to grow a pair.
You lecturing anybody about truth is a complete joke. Get a clue. Why don’t you live one day in the life of military spouses, see what they have to put up from people like you, and then we’ll talk.
No, you’ll never ask for the perspective of people like myself and terrig who experienced it first-hand because in your mind the BDSers are the “victims.”
Math Man… you’re really reaching.
self-edit put up= put up with… in post #95.

Wouldn’t it be awesome if we could fly?
I always thought everyone would have their own helicoptor in their back yard.
My youngster and his friends reminded me that if you put some of the “dumbies” that presently drive into a helicoptor we’d all be in trouble. I am reminded of the type who would hit a wheelchair bound female.
Until I get my Rocketeer pack-I’m grounded. So-I would like a couple of “wolves” with me – and cameras
