ISIS Supporter In Houston Beaten Unconscious By Army Veteran
Â The Militants of the Islamic State in Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS) have lately become the most fanatical radical organization in the world. Cult-like recruiting tactics have gone global, with reports of American citizens lending support, and even traveling overseas to pledge their allegiance to the anti-American group.Yesterday in Houston at Dodson Lake Park, one such supporter who had decided to speak out in favor of the terrorist organization and against America was beaten unconscious by a US Army veteran.The anti-American speaker, whose name has been withheld until a security check can be fully completed, insisted he was exercising his Constitutional freedom of speech rights when he began approaching strangers at the popular water park/playground and quoting from the pro-ISIS leaflets he was handing out.Vietnam and Gulf War war veteran Jim McDaniels, 61, was spending the day with his wife and twin granddaughters when he noticed a man who he described as âa little jumpyâ walking up to everyone handing out leaflets.Â  âHe walked over to us, kind of pushed the thing in our face and said âspread the word,â so I took it,â explained McDaniels. âThen he started to walk away.Â  The paper had all these symbols on it, pictures of ISIS guards and a map of the United States with a big red X on it next to a frowny face.Â  âIs this shit for real?â I asked him. I never swear, mind you. But it was so hateful it got under my skin. Thatâs why I decided to tell this guy to get lost,â said McDaniels.The vet walked over to the unidentified speaker and asked him to stop handing out the anti-American material.Â  âI was telling him for his own good â you donât pick a place like Houston to start talking against the government â youâre gonna get your buttÂ kicked. I just wanted him to get the hell away.âThe protester didnât take kindly to the advice offered to him by McDaniels. âHe got in my face,â said McDaniels, âand started saying itâs his right to say whatever he wants, the US has oppressed people all over the world, blah blah blah and all this other junk.Â  I fought for his right to speak in not one but twoÂ wars, and told him so. Once he found out I was a veteran, he started calling me a traitor, and thatâs when I lost it.Â  I clocked the guy â one punch and boom down he went.Â  My family stepped in and pulled me away.âNow the protester is suing McDaniels. âIt doesnât surprise me a bit,â said the veteran. âI knocked the guy out cold. Â Itâs funny, though, because if heâs so anti-America, he certainly isnât showing it by doing the most American thing there is and taking me to court.âAs for the lawsuit, McDaniels isnât worried.Â  âBelieve it or not, Iâm not mad at the guy.Â  Iâm sure heâs harmless, but severely misguided, obviously. He doesnât know what heâs talking about. Iâve got a lawyer, weâll figure something out, but I donât think heâll be coming around the park again any time soon.â
