Witness to Palin brawl who went public has been fired. Update!

Courtesy of TPM:  

A man who said he witnessed an epic fistfight last weekend at an Anchorage, Alaska party that allegedly included Sarah Palin's family was reportedly fired from his job after telling ABC's "Good Morning America" what he saw. 

Eric Thompson, who said he was one of some 70 guests at the rowdy party, told ABC that he saw Sarah Palin's daughter Bristol land several punches on a man who once dated her sister Willow. 

"Bristol just reached back and started clocking him, she hit him -- reached way back here and caught him right on the chin, I counted at least six times." 

Thompson was fired from his job after sharing that account with ABC, according to a producer for Entertainment Tonight.

Some of you already sent me this link to Coyne's Twitter page that gave me a heads that this has happened. 

@Amanda_Coyne I spoke to that eyewitness this morning... he says he's been fired for talking. #Palin

For those of you who wonder why nobody in Alaska dishes the dirt on the Palins I think this helps to explain why.

Thompson worked for the McKenna brother's, whose party the Palins crashed, and in fact they are good friends with Todd, so of course he is going to pressure them into firing the man.

And by doing this the Palins are also sending a warning to anybody who may be thinking of doing an interview or selling video to the tabloids.  (Of course the good thing about video is that you don't have to identify the source, just allow the content to speak for itself.)

Over the years the Palins have caused MANY people to lose their jobs for daring to call them out on their crap, or revealing things that they do not want revealed.

Why do you think Joe McGinniss had to use so many anonymous sources?

However just so you know this last escapade has angered a number of people who have up til now kept their mouths firmly shut, so stay tuned for more Palin dirt to come.

P.S. Oh and that dirt is about far more than this little fracas. And you can take THAT to the bank.

Update: It looks as if even if nobody files charges against them that the Palins may still face possible legal repercussions. This from the New York Times: 

The police chief, Mark T. Mew, said Friday that even if the victims did not decide to press charges, the municipal prosecutor could still file charges if the facts warranted it.

Well from what I hear they are more than warranted. 

By the way I have just learned that Track actually got into another at a local bar, and apparently got his second beating of the night.

Kind of makes you wonder just what kind of military training this kid received?  Not hand to hand combat, that's for damn sure.

Update 2:  The APD spokesperson just answered my e-mail asking when their report might be released:

Hi there, 

Nothing can be released until our municipal prosecutors office has conducted a review and the case is closed. Will likely be at least another week.

Seriously, a week?

Though come to think of it, that might be just about the time that this story has run its course and starts to slip from the headlines.

And the fact that municipal prosecutors are on the case is certainly encouraging.

Update 3: Just saw interview with Amanda Coyne on CNN.

She managed to get quite a bit of information out about Bristol's slugfest.

Damn I am loving this week!
