Master Cpl Fitzgerald’s Cowardly Attackers Charged
| 3/16/2007 | Posted by Patti under Brave Canadians, Canadian News |
The OPP (Ontario Provincial Police) in Morrisburg, Ontario have now charged a total of three young people with the cowardly attack on decorated Canadian soldier Master Cpl Fitzgerald last Friday night. Police are still seeking at least on other assailant. I talked about the attack in this posting.
A member of the Morrisburg Junior B Lions hockey team, Trevor Baldwin, is the 21 year old initially charged with the assault. The stats on his hockey performance reported from the teams website seems to show a player more intent on being a team goon than a hockey player. The other two charged are listed as 22 year old Ian Tait and 19 year old Jeremy Stewart. Little seems to be known about these two.
While initial reports were that Fitzgerald had only just arrived at the bar last Friday night but now there is some indication that a previous verbal altercation may have occurred but appeared to have been resolved. Baldwin’s mother claims it wasn’t her son’s fault. Maybe she might be wise to expect her son to take some responsibility for his actions. The injuries Fitzgerald sustained were too severe to be able to blow the incident off as not anyone’s fault.Â
