This new interview with Alaska Dispatch is far more detailed than the ones that Thompson has given before, and it also serves to really allow you to understand his situation, including his feelings of betrayal and sadness at how he was treated by both the McKenna brothers and the media.
I am also including a link to his Go Fund Me page so that you can see his progress, and perhaps donate if you have not done so already.
Wow. He said it. People are afraid.
ReplyDeleteThere is safety in numbers. If more people were like this gentleman Alaska would be a better place to live. There's no freedom when you live in fear of worthless assholes like the Palins.
DeleteHe will be the fall guy. The Palins are showing what happens when you talk..... the Palins will probably walk away from this brawl with no consequences as usual...
ReplyDeleteI think that he is too honest and too kind- for America to turn it's back- The Palin's will remember this moment as the day they were unmasked.
DeleteMaybe the Palins should revisit the tale of Soapy Smith and what happened to him when he got too big for his britches.
DeleteI donated last night when he was at $5085. It would be great if more Alaskans do so too. Even $5, to show support. Hope he makes his goal this week. And if he has to, increase the goal. He may not get a job very soon. A potential employer may not want the "limelight" and/or afraid of the Palin repercussion. And any legal settlement will take months if not years. He definitely is worthy of all support in this matter. If he did get a great job, and donations are excessive, I bet the family would donate it to charity. Thank you to the Thompson family for being brave.
ReplyDeleteI don't see how it should affect him in the future. He does not seem to be a guy who likes to be in the limelight, and once things have settled, and he gets a job, he will be lying low again like he has during his whole life.
DeleteI would suggest for everybody to either donate on his gofundme page, or on his email address he has opened just for this. I did last night, giving with PayPal. Like that, you can be anonymous, and do not have to give your credit card number.
I'd be a little more inclined to donate if he wasn't using the money for a vacation!
DeleteAnonymous 8:53 - you're basing your comment on what exactly?
Delete8:53 Haven't you EVER heard the expression "I need to take a vacation." ??? He didn't say from what.
DeleteYeah, try your best Palin pee-troll to spin it like he's using the money to literally take a vacation to Hawaii. He's probably wants to hide out from all the hullabaloo & take the time to re-group and do something like GO FISHING you dumb@ss.
Anonymous 8:53. Yes, a forced vacation from a job that he'd rather being working at right now. He only did what his supervisor asked him to do. He gave a statement to the police, so that Bristol Palin couldn't turn the tables and press assault charges against the same man she hit repeatedly. I'm sure Mr. Thompson would rather be at work right now - doing his thing - looking like Wolverines' favorite uncle.
DeleteHe is entitled to leave town for a while if he needs to. I donated the money for his use as he sees fit. If he takes a vacation, I have no problem with that.
DeleteI always knew the Palins were stupid, ignorant, obnoxious and smug, but now the world knows they are violent too.
ReplyDeleteIntimidating bullies. Unresolved arson and deaths. Own the legal authorities and so on.
Delete"They are good people." But they are not Mr.Thompson. They fired you for trying to get ahead of your statements to the police. Statements you were asked to be made by the host of the party. How can they be good people?
ReplyDeleteWorse than being bad people, the Mckenna brothers are weak people.
DeleteMy heart goes out to him! This reminds me of the picture where you see the tip of the iceberg above water and the massive body underneath. I will do my best to donate before the week is out. What else does he have to lose? Besides, he's probably freeing a lot of people from the Palin grip -- especially now that the McKenna Brothers have offered him his job back.
ReplyDeleteSince when?
DeleteWould he really want to work for them again? I mean he has now witnessed where their loyalties lie ... and it makes me wonder about their business practices and their treatment of employees.
DeleteWait, did he get his job back? Where did you see that?
DeleteHe did NOT get his job back!
DeleteMisinformation spread in the comments will have same effect of the two set of pictures of unmasked Sarah.
DeleteEric T has not gotten his job back. but is a good meme for Palins.
You are lying, because his slimy ex employers aren't man enough to give him his job back.
DeleteCalm down everybody. I read over on Politicalgates that he was offered his job back. I have no reason to believe they would spread propaganda or misinformation on purpose. They have been at this just as long as Uncle Gryphen. Things might have changed since the time I read it so calm down. If I am wrong, I am wrong.
DeleteDon't shoot the freaking messenger.
Even if he did get his old job back, he'd be a fool to take it.
DeleteThey'd just wait until the media frenzy died down, then find an excuse to fire him again, making it look like it had nothing to do with the Palins.
He'd do better to find a different employer. Someone with the same backbone and integrity he is showing.
He did not get his job back. And if you actually read the political gates blog artfully, you would know that. That blog never alleged that he got his job back: go back and reread it.
DeleteDon't you think taht the McKenna brothers would shout it from the talest rooftops that they gave him his job back IF they did? They have such a bad reputation right now, that they shut down their business website and their facebook site, too.
DeleteYou overlooked the comma, Super Fan.
Delete"Marc and Matt McKenna, give Eric Thompson his job back!" is addressing the twins.
Marc and Matt McKenna give Eric Thompson his job back! is a statement.
It makes me sad, that some ignorant people are criticizing him to get a job, instead of asking for hand-outs.
ReplyDeleteAre they referring to Thompson or the Palins?
Delete(yes, that's supposed to be snarky)
The ignorant people are both unfamiliar with the Alaskan job market and how difficult it is to get out from under the Palin stink.
DeleteWell he had a job last week until the Palin thugs bullied his employer into firing him. BTW it's called charity, and I thought that was what you were supposed to do to help out?
DeleteI would think the McKenna's would beg him to come back to them. I would think they would pay him off in the $100,000s or more. The truth is going to hurt the syndicate up there that the McKenna's are so enmeshed in.
DeleteThompson would not be safe. He doesn't have to risk his life or that of his family. He doesn't have to go back to a place he knows is corrupt.
Isn't the Korey guy another McKenna employee? Look what happened to him. Do you believe he is free to speak the truth?
Korey seems like he was a nice man. Do you think he would be in favor of the way Tripp, a child, was treated? He may have to keep his mouth shut and lie or he would be in jeopardy. It was his house where the bloody fight with Tripp around occurred. When you own property and you allow or cover up things like drugs and child endangerment you have responsibilities.
We must stand behind this man. The people at that party that witnessed what happened should be ashamed that they don't have his integrity. Most of all, what does it say about society that it takes "courage" now to tell the truth. Sad. I will be donating to this man's fund!
ReplyDelete-DontHatetheGame
I feel so sorry for this man.
ReplyDeleteThe Palins are evil incarnate.
Great interview! Eric you're a hero!!!
ReplyDeleteIs Todd and Track in hiding?
ReplyDeleteThe Palin women folks came out a couple of days after the melee.
The Palin men folk hasn't shown their faces since their beat downs.
Todd you afraid to come out?
Track you afraid to come out?
In Alaska people are tired of the Palins shit and now the Palins are getting their asses kicked, fat lips and broken ribs when they start shit.
"Don't you know who I am?
Sarah Palin hollered out
And the people responded,
“This isn't some damned Hillbilly reality show!”
Todd probably doesn't want to be seen with a bruised, swollen nose (perhaps a black eye), and anyone who's had a broken rib knows you don't just bop around easily. Four broken ribs=major pain with every breath.
DeleteSpeaking of those broken ribs - did he go to the hospital or like the mafia bring in their retained doctor that makes house calls?
DeleteCan someone fill us in on what a 4 broken rib recovery would be like. Can he he walk? When would he be off pain killers? (not that he would, but a normal person) How long does it take to heal?
DeleteSame with Todd. What would his face look like after one week? How long will that take to heal?
What about others that were injured?
The police would have known Korey Klingenmeyer was brutally attacked and taken pictures (evidence)
That is if they were doing their job. Did he show any signs of an assault? Was that evidence suppressed?
I highly doubt the APD took pictures of anything.
DeleteTodd was seen with darkened Transition lenses wearing glasses in that "two Jewish guys" Sarah Palin Channel video -- whenever it was made.
DeleteWas it before the Palin Brawl™, though? Or after? He wasn't showing any obvious injuries, although he WAS wearing a turtleneck longsleeved shirt which would cover up any bruises, and he didn't show his hands for very long.
Way before, KaJo.
Delete8:35 AM
DeleteEither way it should be in the police report or the DA's investigations.
8:55 AM
DeleteIf that is true, I can't imagine the lawsuits if this happened somewhere else.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mr. Thompson, for keeping this in the news. The Palins will do everything they can to make this fade away. It's already happening.
When Mrs. Palin yelled out "don't you know who we are?", she wasn't referring to her celebrity status. She was referring to the fact that you don't mess with them or they'll have your head. I'm sure of it. I hope there aren't any suspicious fires or crashes soon. Too many people up there in any sort of enforcement role are being paid off, blackmailed, or otherwise coerced into covering for them. The APD is the worst offender, apparently. So, any "accidents" will never be fully investigated, as we have all seen in the past.
Mr. Gryphen, perhaps a list of all the negative events related to the Palin clan would help the media make sense of her declaration not to screw with them. I believe that nobody besides the blog followers really GETS what a danger she and her family are. Clearly, this isn't the first fight Bristol has been in. And she learned that it was OK to hit someone. Track, too. A bunch of bullies. And it's Mr. Thompson that's putting himself in danger because he's apparently sick and tired of them.
I wish him luck. He's going to need it. If there is more information about the Palins, it needs to start trickling out now, because if you or anyone else waits too long, people will lose interest. This is America, after all. Short attention span. Catch them running. You better believe they aren't happy, but the Palins think they can outrun this story. Maybe so. But what about the far more damaging things out there we all suspect? Those are the things that will stop this family of misanthropes.
My understanding is she yelled "Don't you know WHO I AM?"
DeleteThat's an entirely different (and narcissistic) thing.

... with the mortgage payment looming, heat and utility bills, and going into winter; long days and headaches with the attorney, court filings, etc... no chance of unemployment pay..it is really "sucky" for his longtime"friends"/employers to fire him. It makes one wonder what the Palins have on the McKenna brothers.
ReplyDeleteDo they have something on Klingenmeyer?
DeleteI'm real curious about that situation. He is big and brawly looking, not saying he isn't a nice guy and all, he just has a strong presence.
Interesting the police didn't make an arrest as they clearly should have.
How was it the police were so confused?
They were not confused.
DeleteNo one wanted to press charges.
Why do people think the police have to have someone press charges? That is crap. The police have the authority to handle that like any legit police force would do.
DeleteAnd no they were not confused. They were acting like dopes because their agenda was to manipulate any evidence. They preferred not evidence so they made no arrests.
Fact is they could have, should have arrest all the brawlers and checked for drugs in the Hummer and elsewhere and arrested others.
They didn't want the evidence and they were not protecting anyone from violence or potential violence.
He just has to keep talking, keep telling his story, and other people will step up, too. They'll see that despite the Palins' best efforts, they cannot completely destroy those who come forward. We've got Eric's back, and we'll have their backs, too!
ReplyDeleteGryphen... PLEASE use whatever information you are currently gathering and bring this woman and her clan down. For Eric Thompson, and for everyone else against whom they have ever exacted retribution.
If the evil zimmerman can bring in the big bucks from hateful donators for killing Trayvon Martin, certainly there are more of us compassionate people who can donate to a man and his family that is guilty of nothing more than doing his job for telling the truth.
ReplyDeleteFor once, let's show America and the world what our priorities are.
Why would the 2 palin bitches be approaching Connor's mom? What were they going to do to this lady, punch her? its a good thing Korey stepped in, and told them to go back to Wasilla
ReplyDeleteBecause, according to Jeanne Devon's source, Track and friends were making crude comments about Mrs. Cleary. So B&W no doubt thought she made it up and needed a talking to (or punching).
DeleteBecause when you're drunk, mean, and stupid, even the perception of being slighted will set you off into a violent tizzy.
DeleteBecause Wallow & Bristle weren't being treated like the Hollywood sunglasses that they wore. Don't you know who they are??!! They are tee vee stars dammit.
Delete....drunk, mean and stupid..... you left out under the influence of some type of illegal drugs. What WAS in that purse that you went out of your way to hide when the police showed up Bristol ?
DeleteIf two people go after another like that they are terrorizing someone. It is more like gang action. Not someone who got mad and went off.
DeleteBristol and Willow were in partnership and agreement to terrorize and attack. Korey stopped their plan and Bristol unleashed on him instead of the other kids Mom.
I think (hope is a better word) he will come out of this ok. He is so forthright and such a "simple man" that there is clearly no opportunity to suggest any agenda other than the fact that he was wronged and needs a hand. I think the media if they see this- will flock to him because he is so unpretentious and honest. A rare find in today's news cycle.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately he'll probably shy away from more media because of the way he was treated by GMA. He was coerced into speaking out and then another media person announced his firing after he asked her not too. I don't think he trusts the media right now.
DeleteIf Todd thought he heard someone call his daughter a name, he may have gone after the wrong person. Track has a history.
ReplyDelete"Barber said Track was “disappointed and didn’t approve of the situation”[Bristol + Levi]—so much so, Barber says, that Track called his sister two four-letter pejoratives."
http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2010/07/15/bristol-palins-ex-boyfriend-ben-barber-slams-levi-johnston.html
Eric should come out and say ....
ReplyDeleteI have a lot of friends in the construction business in Alaska, and have decided to use the donated money to investigate and uncover how the Palin house and luxury cabin were built when Sarah was Mayor.
It is obvious to anyone that has eyes, many of the items in the house match identically to what was used on the sports arena. The glass stairway is just one example.
It is also obvious that the income of Todd and Sarah, at the time, was not high enough to afford these homes.
The home and cabin were not built by Todd and his buddies. I intend to find the real facts of how they came to be.
Amen 7:00 !!!!!!
Deletethis is a good man that doesn't wish evil on anyone, even the Palin's. I am glad that he spoke out and really hope that someone would appreciate his candor and honesty and offer him a good job. The Palin's have a history of destroying people's lives, it is time for all of those who have been injured by them to come out in droves to speak the truth. The die has been cast, if enough people come forth, the palins will not hold any more power over anyone. They can't possibly have enough money or threats of taking away people's livelihood anymore since this went worldwide.
ReplyDeleteProbably what they are really afraid that he will spill is dirt about all those cushy state contracts the McKennas probably got thanks to Sarah. There is probably a "Paving-gate" in there somewhere I'd bet.
ReplyDeletephone call after Sarah saw ABC interview
ReplyDeleteMarc, this Todd Palin, fire that asshole immediately or you will never get another government paving contract.
Or, Marc, this is Todd Palin, fire that asshole immediately or your wife will hear about ....
DeleteI've long believed this is the secret to the Palin's ability to control people; that when she was in office, (and probably still), they gathered incriminating or embarrassing information on people, enough to blackmail their silence and 'obedience'.. Even the police seem to be under their thumb. One of the obvious early ones was the poor doctor who got roped into the pregnancy deception and has since disappeared from view.
DeleteOf course they did 8:17. Todd (shadow governor, pimp & high school thug) totally used his position in government to collect as much "insurance" as possible. Never know when you might need the police dept. & friends you gave high-up jobs to in your pocket.
DeleteIgnorance + greed + drug use + self-absorption + privilege + violence = the Palin way of life.
ReplyDeleteIt's shocking to me to see the Palin modus operandi displayed as openly and publicly as it was at that brawl.
OT! Have you seen that one of the Duck Dynasty daughters is on "Dancing With the Stars". She's very, very young but quite talented. However, Daddy has to approve her costumes and they show them praying before the show. A little much for me! If the girl begins to get low marks, will the Palins have their phone voters come out to mess with the outcome? Would not be surprised.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it interesting and amusing that Daddy approved the skimpy outfit Duck Girl wore this first episode? SHE'S obviously not pregnant.
DeleteQuite a contrast to the rather overblown claims by Bristol Palin to be "conservative" in her DWTS attire.
It couldn't have been more obvious that Bristol NEEDED to cover up a body that was as solid and round as a tree stump, in comparison to what she looks like now.
Also interesting that Mark Ballas got Duck Girl as a partner. Is he ALWAYS partnered with the born-again-christian people?

I not the one who posted the updates but, actually, I think it's helpful in keeping the updates in the comments even if is just motivational. There are many more objectionable comments that you could have picked on.

did the McKennas pave the Road to Nowhere?

ReplyDeleteah, god. That kind of made me sick to my stomach to watch. I feel for you guys in Alaska. I'm hoping you show your spirit and get together to stop this crap once and for all.
ReplyDeleteI kind of understand a little better why you haven't done so before. Maybe it's time. Maybe not. It is after all Your lives that will be changed in some way.
Sending $$ on pay day.
Does Sarah know the paparazzi attach tracking devices to cars?
ReplyDeletelol, you just said that to send Todd out to the car since Track has broken ribs and couldn't climb under a bus to cut brake lines if he wanted to.
DeletePalins arrived 8:30pm and 1100pm so Track must of had enough liquid courage.
ReplyDeleteConnor Cleary got jumped by Track and his three buddies.
Why can't Track fight on his own. Bullies needs their friends to help them ?
PUSSIES
I find it impossible to believe the whole gang wasn't jacked up on some heavy drugs and instigated to fight before they left the Hummer.
DeleteThey are cowards and wimps and need chemicals (speed) and a coach to make them think they are tough.
Why would Bristol be attacking a guy like Korey? She was nuts and drugged.
There is no way the atmosphere in the Hummer was a mellow gang going out to celebrate. It was a gang of white violence 'culture' looking for fights.
Here it is over a week later and no one says much about Tripp's presence at the bloody brawl.
The APD and the prosecutors office is going to cover that all up?
I hope people will come out and speak to the press about Tripp being there. The media must start asking questions and stop covering up for the Palins in anyway.
If you knew the child at the brawl and sincerely cared for them, how would you want the police and the media to act? You would be fine with a cover up for a druggy mother in a violent episode?
Interesting, that Eric Thompson's account in this video about Track and his three buddies contradicts in direct proportion the account from the anonymous source "close to the Palins" who said Track was attacked by Connor (Conner?) Cleary and three of HIS buddies.
DeleteFrom Scott Conroy's RCP article: "Track Palin soon found himself struggling to fend off four men who had 'piled on him,' according to the source."
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2014/09/13/the_palin_familys_side_of_the_anchorage_brawl_story_123964.html
Comments for that article are now closed...
Oh I think that proportionality was to sidetrack the accounts that said 4 guys in a brawl. If the Palins could try to anonymously, unsourced, say that the pals were Connor's, that would dilute the accounts that said they were Track's buddies. In Devon's account, she said that the Palins brought Track and one or more buddies in the limosine. Find out who they were, and the Palin's anonymously red herrings won't work at all. If they were Connor's buddies, why would he go stand with his Mom and Dad, and the Thompsons after he was attacked? Why wouldn't his buddies be with him? Because, the "buddies" were with Track......IMO

Okay, investigative minds, there has to be financial connections between the Palins and the McKenna brothers. Wonder who paved the Palin's driveway and who paid for it?
ReplyDeleteYes, I read somewhere that SP gave them some big contracts when she was the "mayor" of Wassilly.
DeleteI bet there is even more than that also, too..
That sports complex has to have a parking lot? Municipal contracts are all public - and should have a secret bidding process. Who is the competition to McKenna? same for state contracts.
Deleteoh, I meant while she was the half termGINO of Alaska...
DeleteMcKenna had Wasilla city contracts under Mayor Dianne Keller and Vern Rupright, but none under Palin. The research was posted a few days ago at another website.
DeleteYes, that may be so, but just because SP was no longer in office does not mean that her influence was gone. Everyone knows that Parnell is Palin 2.0....
DeleteWhat if the new "bridge to nowhere" (except Wasilla) goes through....are the contractors all in line for that already?
DeleteThe Palin/McKenna cabin connection needs to be investigated too. Have the McKenna's paid all their taxes like the Palin's did not?
ReplyDeleteVery effective interview, and it really provides a look at Eric Thompson as a kind and rational man.
ReplyDeleteGood for him that he had the courage to just tell the truth of what he saw.
If people like the Palins keep getting away with assault and disrupting the peace at parties now, and no one speaks out, what could they get away with later?
What if, hypothetically, they were caught harming a child, and a witness went forward and police didn't make any arrest; if the witness knew he'd lose his job or his family was at risk, he'd be inclined not to speak out, for fear.
This is what people like the Palins do. They've gotten away with it for so long.
Remember what happened to the ex brother-in-law when Todd Palin tried to get him fired? How different is this one? Todd is a real scumbag, a real. disgusting scumbag. I donated. Hope Eric gets another job fast.
ReplyDelete10 cats.
Paving is a seasonal activity up here and most jobs are winding down now so he may have to be on unemployment for the winter and find another job come summer, that's what many pavers and other construction workers do, works summers then winter on unemployment built up during the summer. He says at ADN the first thing he is doing is taking a vacation somewhere south to escape the limelight.
DeleteWhen did he say "south"? I gathered he was talking about going fishing for a few days.
DeletePalins go to a peaceful party and immature young adults start a fight. What do they do? Talk it out? No they get in a physical altercation with Track in the middle.
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of ex-boyfriend did Willow have? What kind of son is Track when he and his bully buddies get in a brawl with one other kid?
What kind of father is Todd to choke holds the son's father? Why didn't First Dude let the Connor's dad try to break them up? Why did Willow and Bristol angrily march toward's Connor's mom? Why did Bristol punch Korey, the host, when he tried to shield Connor's mom? What kind of young mom goes around punching people in the face, causing possible real injury? What was so awful that Bristol had to physically attack someone? Who are these People? If she gets away with this, what's next, murder?
7:50 You forgot, and leaves her tired six year old son with a limo driver so she can do so.
DeleteWhat knd of parents get wasted with their kids?? Fucked up trashy negligent parents.
DeleteAnd why the hell did they bring Tripp???
DeleteThis is what should be investigated!
What do you mean 'next'. There is evidence that they crossed that threshold a long time ago.
DeleteGoogle "Palin Menard Airplane"
Google "Palin Nurse Fire"
what's next, murder?
DeleteIt looks like they already got by with a few. Must open accident investigations.
I am waiting for an update on Peter Paul William Ferrero, 25, of Florida
Arrested on Sep 7, 2014.
The Frontiersman Sep 12, 2014 still hasn't mentioned an arraignment. Odd if you ask me. Why can't they report updates and facts?
A lot of seriously good questions-
DeleteNow's the time for all that good frontier strength and courage Alaskans are known for to rise to the surface and show the rest of the US what how real Alaskans take care of their neighbors. Former co-workers and other construction folk need to come to the aid of their brave colleague and find this man a job quickly. Show the Palins you will not be intimidated. I expect those job offers to be forthcoming by the end of the week. You know who you are. Do it!
ReplyDeleteSheesh
Alaskans used to take care of each other. Now it seems that a large number are willing to sell out for money and then watch the Palins bully and threaten their way scott-free once again.
DeletePalin's you are not treading on Alaskans anymore!
ReplyDeleteGo to the lower 48
oh HELL no. You can keep 'em.
DeleteI never have been for all this closing the border nonsense, but if it would keep this white trash kkklan out of the lower 48 I may have to reconsider.
DeleteCan anybody list who is who in this Palin melee and give a little break down what they did, including the McKenna brothers?
ReplyDeleteEveryone's name who came in the Hummer can be released. The limo company, insurance and the driver.
DeleteThe 20ish that were brawling.
The 70 to 100 at party. Those who witnessed and those that were on the sidelines. The band that was playing may not have seen what was happening but their photographers and video must have a lot of evidence on the party. How it was before, during and after.
If this happened in my town, the police would have had multi press releases and talked with the media. People here would be contacting and asking questions to the police like mad. And the prosecutor would make public statements.
I am totally aghast that the authorities are allowed to slack like the have.
I am totally aghast that the authorities are allowed to slack like the have.
DeleteWhen in reality they are probably hard ass working just like Bristol and all the rest of the Palins! :-)
Palins you want to intimidate people, go back to Wasilla.
ReplyDelete"Don't you know who I am?"
Yes, git the fuck outta here!
The Palins are just grasping nouveau riche bullies. Absolutely zero class.
ReplyDeleteThe stunning hypocrisy is how quickly they hosed a hard-working American for exercising his first amendment rights--the some of the things Palin can be found screeching about on Faux News each week.
~Canuck~
Not to mention witness intimidation.
DeleteJust remember, it's not usually the crime that brings these types down--it's the cover-up.
Just curious, Shailey Tripp do you recognize the faces of the McKenna brothers?
ReplyDeleteTundraghazi?

ReplyDeleteABC/Good Morning America can afford to donate to Eric Thompson, and should. Do the right thing people!
ReplyDeleteNo time of year is 'good' to lose one's job, but weeks before Thanksgiving & Christmas? Doesn't get crappier than that.
Those McKenna Brothers need to be boycotted and exposed--they deserve the shit tsunami as well.
~Canuck~
No. They can't. It would compromise the neutrality of their reporting.
DeletePeople are saying how fast Bristol could punch, that's such a change from when she moved like a cow across the dance floor
ReplyDeleteShe was on speed. The police could notice. Why are they allowing Tripp to be in danger? She terrorized the Cleary family and attacked a tough man.
DeleteYep, the facts about how she went from fat clumsy cow to vicious terrorizing crazy woman will come out.
Even if the police are part of the corruption syndicate that runs things in Alaska.
it's kind of funny, the palins thought they would arrive in 'style' in a hummer limo, but then they got their asses handed to them and were asked to leave in shame, it's so funny, classless bums the whole group of them
ReplyDeleteI would think arriving in a Hummer limo in and of itself would be considered classless.
DeleteSarah Palin are you running for president?
ReplyDelete"I won't close the door that perhaps could be open for me in the future."
Sarah Palin
Sarah did you hear the door slam shut? Maybe you should wear Trig's hearing aid.
These is so much junk on the Palins, one hardly knows where to start. BUT this brawl does bring Track into focus.. and I think it's high time that we shine a little light there...
ReplyDeleteYa see, Sarah, we know everything you say about him is absolute bullshit. We already know that he is not Todd's child. This must have made for a very difficult childhood for Track. BUT.... he is now a very messed up ADULT who is 25 years old...(Yes, I said 25, not 21 as some of the MSM have been told. Aren't any of you guys paying attention, can't you add, if he is 21 now, how was he in Iraq five years ago???)
I don't believe, for one second, that whole Britta marriage-divorce, Kyla baby story. Is Track even capable of a "relationship?" IDK, he clearly has lots of problems.
Was Britta EVER really his girlfriend?
Were they ever really married?
Did they have a child together or is that little girl actually the daughter of Bristol or Willow?
Why was Track sent away when he was in high school?
(I am sure he didn't leave icy Alaska to play hockey in Michigan-- haha!)
Why was Track "enlisted" in the military and what did he actually do while in uniform? Where was he stationed--really...?
How often did he get "furloughs?" (Don't know if they still use that term... ) Why wasn't he there when his mother, the "governor" welcomed his unit back home???
...and this is just the tip of that particular iceberg
So get going media workers..." there's gold in them thar hills..."
So agree with you Conscious at Last 8:29. I've never believed that Track and Britta were married. Has anyone ever seen any written/published proof of their marriage or divorce? Britta got paid big bucks working for Gov. Sarah Palin. Maybe she was later "convinced" to act as Track's wife for awhile. The child could be Bristol's or Willow's and the whole, marriage thing a sham to cover another illegitimate grandchild. What do Britta's parents have to say, if anything?
DeleteIsn't Britta's dad a minister? Imagine; a Christian minister being a part of this corrupt, immoral, violent Palin family bullshit. Who would believe it?
DeleteTrack and Britta dated all through high school. She stuck by him through all of his wild high school days, however, I think he became a little too much to handle recently with his drugs and drink.

If the police don't press charges against Bristol Palin for assault and/or battery, at the moment that they so announce, are the supporting documents open to FOIA requests?
ReplyDeleteSo it sounds like there were actually 3 fights at the party, one with Track, buddies, and Connor, the 2nd when Bristol repeatedly punched the owner of the property, and 3rd when all hell broke lose and there was a melee of 20 people piling on football style. Putting the interviews all together.....is that the take away from this?
There have been witnesses that say Sarah was instigating Bristol.
DeleteI am not up on the law but doesn't that take it into another realm? Maybe not conspiring but something more. Also don't forget underage Willow was with Bristol when they were terrorizing the huddled family of Willow's ex-boyfriend.
Of course, the Palins are leaking that ex-bf attacked someone in the Hummer (Tripp was sleeping?). Do you think they lied to the police with that version? Wouldn't that be another crime to charge the Palins?
There must be over 25-50 more criminal charges against the Palins if half of what we are hearing is true.
It looks like the police will need to have their asses reemed. They have a history of corruption.
Think Ferguson, Missouri when it is a culture of corruption.
Thanks for the link, Jesse. I took it right over and put it on the Wonkette comments. I think it should go viral and give everyone a chance to help this man out.
ReplyDeleteLevi Johnston you better use this.

Go after your son.

Exactly.
DeleteA violent mother who attacks people with no justification whatsoever.
Not to mention, a mother who brings her small child to a very late night party along with her drunk family and then proceeds to punch the host multiple times in the face.
Whether or not charges are filed against Bristol, Levi should get the 10 eyewitness accounts for documention for future custody adjustments.
DeleteSarah Palin is the Cersei Lannister of Alaska. Where are the Tyrells when you need them?
ReplyDeleteDo I have the timeline correct?
ReplyDeleteTrack makes crude remarks to women
Husband punches him
Humiliated, Track goes looking for a fight
He spots Connor and hits him
Track's buddies join in the fray
Connor's dad tries to break it up
Todd gets involved
Bristol and Willow go looking for the Clearys
Klingemeyer steps in
Bristol punches Klingenmeyer
A big melee ensues
The Palins leave
The police arrive
You forgot:
DeleteSarah Palin starts clawing her way into the melee shouting, "Don't you know who I am?"
AND
Track stands outside the hummer with his shirt off giving the finger to everyone.
Who were Track's buddies that arrived with him in the limo, from Wasilla? We would know more if we knew who his "buddies" were.
DeleteIn that timeline, I wonder which husband punched or was angry with Track for insulting his wife?
DeleteWhich "buddies" are there with Track, are they the ones that were said to have come in the hummer limosine from WAsilla? Who are they?
According to where the Cleary's were standing, with Thompson & wife, which was after Tracks melee with Connor, were the Palin women trying to get at Connor, or Connor's Mother? (Before Bristol started punching the owner who had stood interference and asked the women to leave his property).....
How many of Track's buddies got into the hummer limo when the Palins left?
If the party was in the head of a cul-de-sac, where did that long automobile park?
Also, the police were there BEFORE the Palins left. I recall one account of how the police kept telling them to leave because they were just making things worse, threatening people and trying to grab their cell phones.
DeleteWhere was the part where Sarah goosed Bristol on wit "'git 'm Bristol"
DeleteSarah can be charged for that.
I never saw an account that the Palins were there after the police arrived, and I never saw an account of Mrs. Palin egging her daughter on, with git'em or anything else. I think I have read all accounts.
DeleteJust donated $10 - wish it could have been more. Seems like a nice, down to earth guy who got blindsided. Wishing him and his wife the best.
ReplyDeleteWhat would Sarah Palin do or want the media to do? If she means what she's been saying for years, than this compelling ADN interview with Eric Thompson is exactly what Palin ordered.
ReplyDelete"In many voters’ book, including mine, character counts. [...] It’s gonna be refreshing when facts come out on this so that people can make up their minds, make their own judgment on this..."
~Sarah Palin, Dec. 1, 2011, Hannity interview
"No question should be censored, should be banned. No topic should be off the table. Let’s talk about it now. Let’s vet it. Let’s get it out there. Let’s have some answers."
~Sarah Palin, Jan. 15, 2012, Jeanine Pirro interview
“I think the bottom line that is so frustrating to Americans is we were deceived. We were led in a season of electioning [sic] and campaigning -- led to believe something that was other than true. Americans were lied to. […] What else does he [or Sarah Palin] say and do that would be deceptive? I believe it's many, many things that he [or Sarah Palin] would say and do being deceptive.”
~Sarah Palin, Dec. 19, 2012, Greta Van Susteren interview
"Someone in the media must demand answers. Until the media does its job to give us the Who What Where When and Why of this cover-up, there will be even less trust for this cornerstone of our democracy."

Bristol quotes her mom about BIll Maher, "I'd punch him in the throat."
ReplyDeleteCurt Menard on Track Palin, "Track has a temper."
Unfortunately, there is a segment of society that sees nothing wrong with type of behavior. The Palins are mafiosos, pure and simple.
DeleteHuh? What are you talking about? Just making things up as f there isn't enough to talk about.
DeleteHere is the link on this little gem of a quote:
Deletewww.nytimes.com/2008/09/12/us/12hockeymom.html
New York Times September 12, 2008:
"Parents with especially talented skaters or with enough money or both often do what the Palins eventually did with Track Palin: Write a check and send him to hockey development programs out of state. Housed with teammates, the boys go to local high schools and play on sponsored teams intended to attract attention from college recruiters.
In 2006, the year Ms. Palin was elected governor, Steve Lowe snatched up Track Palin for a slot on the developmental AAA team he coaches in Kalamazoo, Mich. Mr. Lowe liked that Mr. Palin, a forward, was extremely focused and aggressive on the ice. If he could manage his temper a little and improve his shooting, it was clear that Mr. Palin could have secured a college scholarship and maybe a chance at the pros, he said.
The temper was a longstanding problem. Hockey is a raw sport, but Mr. Palin pushed the limits and often got kicked out of games in Wasilla and at least once in Michigan. The parents who had watched him grow up on the ice said he was popular with his teammates and generally a pretty good student. But on the ice, he was an animal.
Curt Menard, a longtime family friend, said he would often sit next to Ms. Palin’s parents to watch their grandson play. If Mr. Menard arrived after the game started, he said, he would ask if he was too late to catch him.
“Track has a temper so sometimes you’d only see him half the game,” Mr. Menard said. “Get there late and he’d already be out.”
Whatever his behavior on the ice, Mr. Palin’s parents did not meddle, Mr. Lowe said."
And there you have it!
DeleteAnother example of just what we're dealing with when it comes to conservative politicians. And insight into just why McCain chose Palin in the first place:

ReplyDeletePretty SERIOUS article about Bristol & Violence ...
Eric Thompson is a brave man for telling the public what kind of thugs the Palins are when there are no cameras rolling.
ReplyDeleteWhite on white violence, it's epidemic!
ReplyDeleteDon't the Palins usually beat up on each other, the family pets, and the refrigerator?
ReplyDeleteRemember the teacher the Palins bullied in Homer and the man they bullied in the airport in Valdez?
ReplyDeletePalins don't seem to know any other way but violence.
Yes! Maybe those incidents need to be re-posted or sent to the media again. At the time, no one in the media paid much attention to either incident. Maybe they would now.
DeleteYou can just tell what an honest man Mr Thompson is, but he is wrong about one thing, The McKenna Brothers are both pieces of shit and nothing more.
ReplyDeleteYou are right. They are dumb pussy whipped meatheads, owned by the Palin's. Disgusting human beings without ethics or balls.
DeleteTime for an investigation of the corruption in Alaska politics. How many contracts did the McKenna brothers score when Palin was governor?
ReplyDeleteThe whole Palin family is nothing but a gang of thugs.
ReplyDeleteFunny thing that when Sarah was mayor of Wasilla, my parents' road was finally paved - HALF WAY. They live in Wasilla near the Wal-Mart store. When asked why the rest of their road WASN'T paved, the "city" said, "We ran out of funds." Oh, really?
ReplyDeleteThe homeowners on my parents' street obviously thought that was bullshit and told the city 'finish paving the damn street you idiots!'
Several MONTHS later the rest of their street got paved. Again, Sarah was mayor at the time. Such bullshit politics back then and still now with her.
Justice needs to be served here with the Palin brawl. The APD needs to grow a SERIOUS pair and make assault arrests again the Palin tribe - child abandonment included.
Until then, the APD and other law enforcement agencies in Alaska are simply Palin-whipped. How do these guys sleep at night knowing that a woman has such control over their jobs and manhood parts? These guys tremble before her. I say man-the-f**k-up. Cowards.
They could START with arresting Todd for being a pimp, then with stolen goods from the sports arena for their house. The damn list long!
Again, man up Alaska law 'enforcement', courts and judges! I mean, WTF is with these so-called bravado Alaskan 'men'. As 'professionals', they are a joke.
"Palin-whipped"
DeletePerfect description. APD, is that what you want to be known as? The rest of the country is watching and waiting........
While I am very angry that someone was fired for describing crimes he witnessed to the news media due to my own experiences and I am proud that he had the courage to speak up I have a bit of a different perspective on this. He is actually very fortunate because when these actions are taken against people in Alaska and they try to tell their story they are not believed by anyone. At least he is believed, at least he is getting support. This happens to people for retaliation all the time in Alaska, but they are left on their own with others thinking they have done something wrong. This is why the psychopaths and other wrongdoers are in control people are afraid to speak up. What I have found is once they have hurt you it's so much more easy to speak up and never stop. They even have false rumors spread and people in this state automatically believe them, then they jump on the person and begin to bully them as well.

ReplyDeleteToday, on the Sarah Palin Channel, a new video was posted regarding "The Second Amendment"; Sarah showed-off the back of a tee-shirt that son Track was wearing. It celebrated that particular amendment (we didn't see his face - wonder why?). Was she sending a message - suggesting Second Amendment remedies could come to those that might exercise First Amendment freedoms?

ReplyDeleteSPYWITNESS: PALIN BRAWL CONFIDENTIAL
Blow by blow backstory of the big brouhaha! Boozy SARAH PALIN and her rambunctious clan get baked -- Alaskan-style!
Move over “Beverly Hillbillies” – here come the hard-partying, punch-throwing Palins!
With the battle cry “Don’t you know who I am!” former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin turned into a pit bull as her clan was involved in a wild brawl outside an Anchorage home, eyewitnesses tell The National ENQUIRER.
The alcohol-fueled melee embroiled 20 people and is believed to have been sparked by the former Alaska governor’s allegedly drunken son Track, 25, said a source.
One victim, Connor Cleary, 26, told The ENQUIRER it was a peaceful party until the reality show family showed up!
Connor said he was approaching the Palins’ stretch-limo Hummer when Track began getting in his face. “He (Track) kept trying to pick a fight with me and then when it all came down – it happened,” Connor said, in an exclusive interview.
“He kept saying, ‘Oh what, are you trying to get into the ----ing limo?’ and he kept cursing at me and walking towards me,” claimed Connor.
Track allegedly threw two jabs at Connor, according to an online report – and that’s when all hell broke loose outside the residence of 39-year-old Korey Klingenmeyer, host of the Sept. 6 bash.
Alarmed, someone screamed, “This isn’t some damned Hillbilly reality show!” according to an eyewitness.
Despite several minor injuries, cops didn’t make any arrests because no one wanted to press charges, police spokeswoman Jennifer Castro told The ENQUIRER. “They (the Palins) among many other people were involved in the disturbance,” she disclosed, adding, “Alcohol was believed to have been a factor in the incident.”
Jennifer didn’t want to describe how Sarah was involved but noted that drunken arguments sparked the fight. An Anchorage blogger, who spoke to witnesses, laid the blame squarely on Track, who was apparently going after his sister Willow’s ex-boyfriend.
The fracas also involved “Dancing with the Stars” contestant Bristol, 23, claims the blogger, Amanda Coyne, who said “Word is that Bristol has a particularly strong right hook, which she employed repeatedly.
“As people were leaving in a cab, Track was seen on the street shirtless, flipping people off, with Sarah right behind him, and her husband Todd somewhere in the foreground, tending to a bloody nose,” adds the report.

ReplyDeleteDear Anchorage residents,
ReplyDeleteYour city council meetings allow attendees to make comments and ask questions that aren't otherwise on the meeting agenda. Someone may want to ask about the APD's apparent, consistent cover-ups for the Palin family.
Now that he's fired and unemployed, he has nothing to lose and can speak up as much as he wants. And there seems to be plenty of media willing to listen. Especially since it's costing them nothing.
ReplyDeleteI love how the use the term 'Palin Brawl' in the headline. No need to mince words.
ReplyDeleteReading the comments, I noticed something very familiar in the vocabulary and cadence of the words of Lacy Reed...
ReplyDeleteour 'smh' troll?
I'm sure par t of Bristol's strategy is that when she punches a guy, he won't punch her back.
ReplyDeleteHope she eventually picks on the wrong guy and gets seriously decked, as in having to go back to the plastic surgeon to fix that newly broken nose.
So I am pretty tried (along with everyone else here) about hearing about Track's military service. Exactly how long was he in service & what exactly did he do for a job? Since he is considered a veteran of a foreign war, does he get life time benefits including medical? (that would be a great deal) My dad was in the army for 20+years, I think he deserved medical for life & he did get it until the day he died.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if Eric knows how McKenna Brothers Paving always managed to be the low bidder on all those lucrative government contracts? Company got big pretty fast.
ReplyDeleteFollow the money.
DeleteI guess all those years of ABSTINENCE have made Bristol a little cranky.
ReplyDeleteThat's so disgusting that the cops did nothing, you know if it was a house full of brown or black people, someone would have had their face shoved in the ground or shot on the spot!
ReplyDeleteI'm willing to bet that Mr. Thompson's fundraising cause will generate more revenue than Palin's so-called "Internet TV Channel." Her comeuppance has never been so richly deserved as it is now.
