Remember we told you earlier about Phil Parlock, the Republican man in West Virginia who seems to have REAL bad luck attending presidential political rallies where Democrats seem to constantly attack him, rip his 3 year old daughter's sign, etc? Well, the blogosphere just discovered (and emailed me) yet ANOTHER incident just two weeks ago involving this man. Yes, we now have a fourth incident. This time, shots were "fired" at the guy while watching the president's acceptance speech at a local GOP gathering in W. VA. Uh huh.
Filing a false police report is a crime where I live. Anybody want to check in with the local police in Huntington, W. VA. and tip them off to this uncanny coincidence?
SHOT FIRED
By: Dee Delancey
PAT LATE NIGHT GUNFIRE IN DOWNTOWN HUNTINGTON. THE TARGET? A REPUBLICAN POLITICAL GATHERING. DEE DELANCEY JOINS US LIVE FROM OUR PUTNAM NEWSROOM. DEE, IT HAPPENED AS G-O-P FAITHFUL WERE WATCHING THE PRESIDENT ON T-V? Dee Delancey ON A NIGHT OF REPUBLICAN CELEBRATION NEARLY ENDS IN TRAGEDY IN HUNTINGTON.
NEARLY TWO DOZEN PEOPLE ESCAPED INJURY AFTER AN UNKNOWN ASSAILANT FIRED A SINGLE GUNSHOT AT THE LOCAL G-O-P HEADQUARTERS.
Lyons; Maybe the guy will come back again and I can get a hold of him.
THE BULLET SLAMMED INTO THE FRONT WINDOW AS LOCAL REPUBLICANS WATCH THE NATIONAL CONVENTION.
Lyons; If they have a taget why don't they go get it? Face up! Whoever did it is nothing but a coward if you are listening out there. You come by again and maybe I'll be here.
DeLancey; There continues to be a serious impact for the Republican today. There office in Cabell County shut down due to this gunfire.
NO-ON IS TAKING THE VIOLENT ACT LIGHTLY.
Howard; To think now that's going to be in the back of our minds whether or not there's going to be somebody shooting at us. It's just insane. Definately crosses the line.
DeLancey; We're standing here right now? Howard; That's right. We could be targets out here right now.
PEOPLE HERE SAY DEMONSTRATIONS LIKE THIS MAY BE ACCEPTABLE, THIS IS NOT.
Parlock; I think this is definately, definately an act that was by an extremeist kind of thing.
DEE FORTUNATELY, NO-ONE WAS HURT. POLICE ARE STILL INVESTIGATING. I'M DEE DELANCEY REPORTING LIVE IN OUR PUTNAM NEWSROOM.
