What’s a peace activist/non-violent guy supposed to do?

| May 29, 2009

Let’s say you joined IVAW and marched in the street advocating peace, love and unicorns for everyone. Let us further stipulate that in the name of peace you advocate the death of Gathering of Eagles members…

So, your own crazy ass group throws you to the curb. Hell, your group even issues an apology on your behalf. But then you apologize, and they say, “Ok, you are really a peaceful guy” and they let you back in….

How on earth can you follow that up? How about engaging in domestic violence against your wife?

An outspoken peace advocate and Iraq War veteran pleaded guilty Thursday, May 21, to harassing his wife.

Evan M. Knappenberger, 24, of Bellingham pleaded guilty to domestic violence harassment, a gross misdemeanor, at a hearing in Whatcom County Superior Court. He was sentenced to 30 days on work crew or work release.

After an argument, his wife went into their bathroom and he followed her, sat down in front of its door and would not let her out until she called police, according to charging documents filed in Superior Court.

Knappenberger is a member of the Bellingham chapter of the Iraq Veterans Against the War, has been a vocal advocate of nonviolence and ending the war in Iraq, and has organized rallies and protests against the war.

I’m guessing Karl Rove somehow framed his ass. Non-violent Peace activists seem rather violent at times, no?

Anyone else holding their breath waiting on the lengthy explanation from IVAW on how this isn’t his fault? I know I am. I’m guessing they will roll it in with the “Rick Duncan” apology tour.

Google alerts rock the monkey house. We are in your cheezhous, eating your brains!

UPDATE: BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Savor the Peace. Relish the Peace. May the Peace wash over you. And now, a reading from Evan’s letter to the Washington Blogger.

Sam,

Eat [expletive deleted] applies to you too. I hope your family gets accidentally targeted by the US Army, a la Multinational Corps-Baghdad. I hope you accidentally get waterboarded knowing that your life is irrevocably changed by the political forces you contributed to. I hope you get to spend time huddling in a basement when the US Air Force starts dropping white phosphor in your neighborhood.

You have no idea what you are advocating. You are a coward and a fool. You can hide behind your journaling all you want, but someday you are going to wake up and see exactly how much of a coward and [expletive deleted] fool you are. If you have convictions, act on them. Otherwise you are as worthless as you are stupid.

Eat [expletive deleted],

And peace be onto you as well Evan.

Sam Taylor, we shall know your quality by the enemies you make. Congrats bud!

Is anyone really surprised by this? From threatening and harassing women via the internet, to…..threatening and harassing women via real life. I hope his wife was smart enough to leave his ass. That kind of behavior is ust the start-this guy seems crazy and violent enough that she might be in real danger.

Also, here’s a hint, Crappenberger. The problem with the article you have an issue with is the fact that YOU ABUSED YOUR WIFE. It’s not that the evil journalist reported on it. If you hadn’t committed domestic violence against your wife, there would be no story, asshole.

Didn’t De Wald have some sort of domestic conviction or arrest too? Some might say there’s a pattern…

Looks like Jackson Browne has some competition.

Chicken shit is chicken shit. Can’t win a fight with people who could actually kick his ass, so he sticks to abusing women. Classy. He’d best be careful which women he picks on though… I know some females that would hand him his own intestines on a platter. (and I’ll bet some of the gals who post here could too.)
