    Freind gets beat by an anti gunner

    http://bearingarms.com/anti-gun-oreg...hts-supporter/

    Worked with this guy at anti gun rallys in the past. It is his passion to stop the liberal encroachments


    William Saunderson runs the popular YouTube channel Laughing At Liberals, where he pokes fun at the hypocrisy of leftists in general and the clueless rants of gun control supporters in specific.

    He posted this video only yesterday.

    Saunderson presumably posted the video at some point before he was allegedly attacked and robbed by documentary filmmaker Skye Fitzgerald, after Saunderson allegedly caught Fitzgerald in a lie on camera, according to The Common Truth (our bold below):

    The two were meeting at a local Gresham restaurant to discuss a preview of the film being pitched by Fitzgerald and seen by Saunderson. Saunderson was upset that the film which had been touted for his input as neutral, was in fact, anti-gun biased.

    The film trailer and appeal for funding was placed on Indiegogo but has since been removed. The film content however is accurately described in the link here – OREGON DIVIDE

    Details of the entire meeting and attack are included below by the eyewitness, Chris Cochran so we will not repeat them here. We will comment however; this brutal attack is just a sample of what we in the pro-gun movement has said all along. Gun owners seem to show more responsibility and restraint, while the anti-gun movement has repeatedly shown a violent streak.

    The victim of this latest attack, Mr. Saunderson, is currently undergoing surgery on his left arm which was seriously (and potentially permanently) injured. His upper arm is broken in 3 places with the ball broken completely off and shoulder dislocated. The doctor says he will be lucky if he recovers 80% use.

    We have no way of confirming the extent of Mr. Saunderson’s injuries as reported above, but we can report that he was transported to a hospital in the area for treatment by a private vehicle according to Gresham police.

    We can also confirm that anti-violence producer/filmmaker Skye Fitzgerald turned himself in to a neighboring law enforcement organization after the attack, which was witnessed by numerous people. Based upon those accounts, Fitzgerald has been charged with felony robbery, misdemeanor theft, and misdemeanor assault. If the injuries to Mr. Saunderson are as severe as The Common Truth suggests, then it seems possible that the assault charge may be upgraded by prosecutors.

    Fitzgerald is attempting a novel defense of his actions.

    [We should probably note that the three people that Fitzgerald turned to on Twitter for help after attacking Saunderson are two rabidly anti-gun Oregon Democrats and a lobbyist for Michael Bloonmberg.]

    I asked Gresham Police directly about this claim. There was no evidence whatsoever that there were any firearms at the scene, concealed or otherwise, on the persons of the victim or any of the witnesses.

    Fitzgerald appears to have become upset that he was caught in a lie, and that his reaction was being (legally) recorded. He then allegedly attacked Saunderson both inside and outside the restaurant, and stole two cameras, then attempted to excuse his behavior with yet another apparent lie.

    It is not known at this time if Fitzgerald destroyed or erased the film in these cameras before turning them in to authorities.

    I hope he makes a speedy recovery!

    BTW, the link in your post goes to a news story about a train wreck. Here is a link to your friend's story:

    I would love to know what the lie was that he was caught in.

    If this went down as described I would hope that Mr. Saunderson is able to sue Mr. Fitzgerald to prevent him from making another anti-gun movie.

    From how I read it, I thought the lie was that Mr. Saunderson tried to pull/threaten Mr. Fitzgerald with a gun. That was the reason Mr. Fitzgerald gave to the police for attacking Mr. Saunderson. The police said no firearm was recovered from either the scene or Mr. Saunderson's person.

    The article is not well written, I can't tell if he caught him on camera lying about his film, or if the video taped the assualt and caught the above lie.

    Anti 2nd folks should have a sign in their yard stating 2nd amendment free zone. So criminals could more safely ply their trade.

    OK... he puts the guy in the hospital... his arm is severely damaged... MAY regain 80% use of his arm and the attacker is only charged with MISDEMEANOR assault??

    Seriously?

    I agree the article was not well written. I think there was a lie that Mr. Fitzgerald told that he was caught in that had to do with the latest documentary he produced. Then there was a second lie, as you describe, about why Mr. Fitzgerald attacked Mr. Saunderson, but it is sort of hard to tell. If we are correct then Mr. Fitzgerald should not be believed, ever.

    I thought something similar, but many people go to the hospital "just to get checked out." I would expect the charges will be upgraded to felonies.

    I would hope so, or something is seriously wrong with the prosecutor.

    Actually the opposite. Better to be the martyr than to play into the grabbers narrative.

    Better to retain full use of your limbs. Playing into their narrative will be forgotten soon enough, disability is for the rest of your life.

    From this fiasco, it's a good time to remind everybody that the libs and antis are NOT to be trusted. Their "for me but not thee" attitudes make them believe they can do whatever they want to us and be "exempted" from repercussions.
