Austin Freni; soldier assaulted
According to Fox29, Austin Frenti, a Fort Benning soldier who was supposed to deploy to the Middle East in a few months, is now laying in a hospital bed in Philadelphia after being assaulted by a group of thugs after the Mummers Parade on New Year Day;
“Group of 10-15 guys walked by me (making) derogatory comments towards Austin’s Army jacket,” she explained.
Then she says one of the young men struck Austin before others piled on.
“Me and his girlfriend tried pulling them off and they hit us . We got hit in the face. She got thrown in the street,” his mom explained “He’s got to get plates put in his jaw and his mouth will be wired shut for the next eight weeks.”
Thanks to Bobo for the link.

I’ll wait. Hell, there’s not even confirmation of a police report. And then there’s the parade. Cripes, talk about crazy stuff. I don’t see that a fatigue jacket would have caused anything with the thousands of bizarro costumes. I won’t speculate. I won’t throw a BS flag, either. Just let’s have more.
I think it’s time to put on a GI jacket and go trolling for these tough guys. Nothing like 15 on 1!
Not many Fort Benning soldiers deploying these days, with 3rd BDE 3rd ID gone and all that. All that’s left here are the schools and the HQs.
Just saying.
I concur 2/17 – let’s wait and see what further information is forthcoming.
In the meantime – prayers for this young man’s healing.
I am gonna go rite out on a limb and say I bet somebody was yelling “WORLD STAR” and filming the event.
Ditto. The video will turn up somewhere.
There were rumbles planned at various malls across the country on New Year’s Eve, mostly kids (under 20) and people were there, ready to get the video.
This is possibly the same thing, a planned assault in a crowded area.
I hope this young man recovers soon.
In Filthydelphia, a group of thugs attacking a white guy….who’s gonna be first to take a guess and speak the P. C. words? Remember the so-called “knock out game”? Remember the armed thugs allowed to stand outside a voting location and at least attempt to intimidate voters? Just another shit hole where primitive baboons run wild and do as they please. They all belong on a chain. Send them back to where they came from. The ONE who allowed them to think they could do any damned thing they wanted for the last eight years will soon be gone. After that, it’s open season on punk ass gangs.
If a person goes into such a high crime area WITHOUT a weapon in pocket, why would you expect to be treated with respect, especially in uniform? Time for lynchings again, plain and simple.
You may appreciate this “text of a death sentence handed down by a judge of the U.S. District Court in the New Mexico Territory in 1881.
A note introduces the text as a verbatim transcript of the sentence and says that is was read in Taos in an adobe stable serving as a court.”
“Jose Manuel Miguel Xavier Gonzales, in a few short weeks it will be spring. The snows of winter will flee away, the ice will vanish, and the air will become soft and balmy. In short, Jose Manuel Miguel Xavier Gonzales, the annual miracle of the years will awaken and come to pass, but you won’t be there.
“The rivulet will run its soaring course to the sea, the timid desert flowers will put forth their tender shoots, the glorious valleys of this imperial domain will blossom as the rose. Still, you won’t be here to see.
“From every treetop some wild woods songster will carol his mating song; butterflies will sport in the sunshine, the busy bee will hum happy as it pursues its accustomed vacation; the gentle breeze will tease the tassels of the wild grasses, and all nature will be glad, but you.
You won’t be here to enjoy it because I command the sheriff or some other officers of the country to lead you out to some remote spot, swing you by the neck from a knotting bough of some sturdy oak, and let you hang until you are dead.
“And then, Jose Manuel Miguel Xavier Gonzales, I further command that such officer or officers retire quickly from your dangling corpse, so that vultures may descend from the heavens upon your filthy body until nothing shall remain but bare, bleached bones of a cold-blooded, bloodthirsty, throat-cutting, murdering son of a bitch.”
The judge was not named. The story may not be true. That would not inhibit MSM.
Along those lines Tally,
A US Marine enters the Catholic Church confessional booth in Hendersonville , NC .
He tells the priest, “Bless me, Father, for I have sinned.
Last night, I beat the ever-living crap out of a flag burning, cop hating, Obama loving protester.”
The priest says, “My son, I’m here to forgive your sins,
not to discuss your community service.”
LOL!
It’s probably a safe bet that the Marine was not confessing to Obama’s bud, Fr. Michael Pfleger.
Such may be the many and varied faces of community service!
Tally, you poetic sentence post prompted me to do a quick search. Here’s what MIGHT be the story:
http://my.execpc.com/~galaxy/martin.htm
Haha, that’s a great read, thanks for the reference!
I vaguely recall hearing G. Gordon Liddy read parts of it on his radio show, maybe around the mid-90s. He enjoyed reading it, as well.
Tallywhagger…..Indeed you were right! Absolutely enjoyed the story down to the final word. Where are these kind of judges today? No questions asked; I’d vote for one with his attitude ANY day of the week. Thanks for sharing.
S/F
WE could use a few hundred judges like that NOW!!
well, there is no law west of the Pecos and no God west of the Rio Grande
Group of thugs attacking a white guy described as 10 white guys and one black guy. Regardless of race no one deserves a gang beating.
There are many holes in the story. As someone who has a family member who personally knows this soldier, I can say that at the very least, he wasn’t set to deploy soon. (as all the stories say) Further, no description of “attackers”…no reason why he was wearing an “army” jacket…was it his uniform? If so, why was he even wearing it if he wasn’t working? So many holes. All based upon his mom’s words…a mom who preyed upon strangers to pay to send her home for Christmas…when he is in the Army and could have paid for his own ticket like the other soldiers around him were doing. Lots of holes in story…don’t believe everything you read.
“[D]on’t believe everything you read.” Well, Marie, I can assure you that we don’t. I would also point out that you communicated by writing, which required us to read. I think you see where I went with that. If not, let me know. Also, please don’t use this blog to disparage the GI or his mother. If you were there and you have facts, share them. Thanks.
Marie,
If you were to read what 2/17 and I both wrote this morning, you’d know better than to come on warning us not to believe everything we read.
Also your credentials are a wee bit shaky, lass. ” As someone who has a family member who personally knows this soldier, I can say…” – not precisely something I would want to take any stand upon.
There are always two sides to any story. But disparaging the mother and the son on hearsay is poor form.
I can plainly see that there are a few on this site who are asking questions about this story. I’m in groups where large groups of moms missing their sons who just went back to their Army jobs/training are, as well. Most of them are sad and seem to believe every word said. Myself, however, having had previous interactions with the mom, and knowing about the son from others who went through OSUT with him, I already do know more to the story…which is not included in the story. Things like the fact that he wore his uniform home and that he wore it everywhere he went while he was home. (he stated this on his personal FB page) Now his mom is saying he did not wear his uniform so as not to draw attention. I’m married to a soldier, and I’ve raised a soldier. I love the military. I absolutely hate those that give the rest of us a bad name and those who would use our emotions to benefit. If I rubbed you the wrong way, I apologize. I can appreciate that you are not the average internet person who believes everything they read, regardless of who it comes from. (ie a military family)
Fair enough, Marie.
I will accept that for now as well, Marie.
Any yeah, we’re a pretty cynical group I must confess.
Fat fingered it again.
Make that “
AnyAnd yeah,…”Marie,
And yet you revel in your ability to refer to “knowing” the soldier & mom, in order to degrade them, or at least infer that they are less than worthy of our compassion. I am an Infantry Brother, and as such I will defend my Infantry family until which time my Brother is proven to have no redeeming value, and so far I’ve not met one Infantry soldier that I would not stand by. So Marie, I suggest you get off your judgmental soapbox & keep your opinion to yourself, unless you have proof that can be verified that this soldier deserved to be beaten. Until then I have his 6. KUTF!
I’m sure video of the event will turn up soon, and I hope all involved are caught and hung like the above! These shitbags are stealing my air and I want it all for me, fuck them! Drop these turds in a fire zone in the middle east somewhere so they can talk shit to the military over there? See how long before they pray for the same to come and rescue their sorry ass! Cocksuckers one and all!!!
*dons grammar Nazi hat*
It’s hanged, not hung.
*removes grammar Nazi hat*
Now back to your usually scheduled postings.
Grammar Nazis of the World, Unite!
But wait, concerning the Oxford comma:
does one’s answer to the Oxford comma question determine whether or not one is admitted to the elite ranks of the Grammar SS?
Das “commakommandgrupen”?
Jawohl.
Just remember, the guy that proofread Adolf Hitler’s speeches literally was a grammar Nazi.
And here all this time I thought that guy was a proofreader…
😉
Their, they’re, there, it’s all gonna be alright! ?
I never spell paragrapgh correctly, as you can see. I don’t know what it is about that word but, for some reason, I screw it up. I do not misspell phonograph or, for that matter, graph, but put para- in front of graph and, inexplicably, I get paragrapgh. Go figure.
I tease Mrs. G that I married her because she was an English major and could help me with my spelling.
Now she is doing crossword puzzles and asking me(!)</I) how to spell some words.
Mrs. G? Hell, I thought your first name was Gray, your last Beard, and that you combined them for a tag.
He’s Santa….
I get that a lot beginning in November and continuing into early January.
Unfortunately, my middle is starting to, ah, “enhance” the impression.
The problem with grammar Nazism is the scrutiny it invites of the Nazi’s grammar. I guess I am a reformed grammar Nazi, a disappointment to my dear Dad, long departed, who would say, “There’s nothing worse than a reformed anything.” Nowadays, it’s tough to be a grammar Nazi, what with the pc crowd using his or her, he or she, not to mention the despicable their in place of he and his.
And I cheerfully take correction to my grammar when not speaking/typing colloquially.
My students when I was an English teacher were glad to correct spelling and grammar when I messed up.
“It’s a damn poor mind indeed that can think of only one way to spell a word.” ~Andrew Jackson
Until ahmm gettin credit hours for writing here… ahmmma write how I pleezes, aight?!?
So is it ‘the worst criminal unhung’ or ‘the worst criminal unhanged’?
guess it would depend on whether he had had The Operation or had failed to have his neck stretched.
Maybe said ghetto apes are also afraid of losing their welfare checks and it’s all “Whitey’s” fault? Trump said he was the Law and Order Candidate, I hope he lives up to it. The ghetto apes go by a herd mentality it’s “Monkey see, monkey do” in that crowd.
This is very funny considering all but 1 of the perps was described as white. You sound like a fucking idiot.
Anyone else notice that the hanged/hung correction was made to Wilted Willy? Maybe they were hung, but I don’t really want to see that.
SPEW ALERT!
What took you so long?
*grin*
The Mummers are crazy bitches.
Maybe it was a group of militant Quakers? They do get their ire up on occasion.
I think they were chanting “Oh, Dem Golden Slippers”
I’m actually a big fan of Here Come the Mummies. A great funk band from Nashville.
Not to be confused with The Mummies from the left coast.

Q: What has feathers and an asshole every two feet?
A: A Mummers parade.
Mummers the word. Anyone drive a mummer? If I had a mummer, I’d mummer in the mornin’….Mummer and dadder. I think I need to lie down now.
Could ya mum a few notes???
Mum’s the word! ?
Olivia Munn is the word.
Don’t really care much what the excuse was for a group of cowards to beat up a lone guy. Of course, for all they knew the women with him might have been black belts in something deadly. Still, the offense here is that a group of thugs singled out a guy for a beating. No excuse for it.
But, as others have said, until the video surfaces, we really don’t have any idea what occurred. Even then, all we will know is what happened during a small part of the total encounter.
That breed of lowlifes ONLY get bold when either they outnumber their intended victim by eight or ten to one or they’re twice their size and weight.
We saw how that size advantage worked out for Michael Brown…
“God created Men, and Sam’l Colt made ’em equal”
When I first saw this story, I thought there has to be video of this because the entire route of the parade has cameras on it.
This may give some indication as to why the mother was making the statements and answer other questions:
Sgt. Eric Gripp, a police spokesman, said authorities have been unable to speak to the victim because he was at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital with a broken jaw. Gripp said a relative told authorities that 12 men attacked the man around Third and Oregon Streets after 11 p.m. Sunday after they made “derogatory remarks about the Army.”
Gripp said that police did not learn of the alleged assault until the next day and that the investigation was in its early stages. Another police spokesman, Lt. John Stanford, said investigators were looking for video and other evidence from the scene.
http://www.phillyvoice.com/mother-local-serviceman-attacked-by-mob-in-south-philly-after-mummers-parade/
Other news outlets are describing the jaw as being “shattered” which would impede the police talking with the guy.
This is one of this situations where we should let the police investigate before making any statements on the soldier, his mother, or any alleged criminals.
Still agree.
Let the police investigate – they may take longer than the evening news would like and not wrap it up before the end of CSI, but they do a darn good job most of the time.
Seems fishy to me. Someone with a shattered jaw would certainly have facial bruising and swelling – none visible in the picture. There is way more to this than we are being told.
O. K., I can take the criticisms for being so damned picky, but it’s the little contradictions in life that always make me wonder. Example, the mother can afford a tongue piercing as well as a small head piercing beside her right eye. Money for pircings..but trying to get money on a Go Fund Me page for her son to travel??? I’m willing to help anyone who is in need……but don’t make me wonder if your financial priorities for a woman in her 40’s are in order!
