Decorated soldier beaten up in hometown
Morrisburg, ON
"OTTAWA -- A Canadian soldier awarded a medal of valour for braving enemy fire in Afghanistan is angry after he says he was jumped from behind and taunted by four men who beat him up in an Ontario bar this weekend.
Fitzgerald said Monday he'd only been in the bar about 20 minutes when he was struck from behind."
Master Corporal Collin Fitzgerald will be on 580CFRA shortly, you'll be able to hear his interview about 0830 here.
1300 hrs-posted now.
He'd like to have a "go" at the 4 thugs who gave him 3 fractures, 10 stitches and 2 chipped teeth, amongst other injuries.
I wonder how that would turn out.
While he was deployed, his mother was told by a friend that he was safer in Afganistan than he was in "that Nick's bar" ...
Turns out he was right.

I don't think they are going to like what's coming to them ... A national media onslaught and .. well, that kind of justice I hope Fitzgerald and the rest of his "good green buddies" can deliver.
I think what she said was Nick's Bar,
not hick bar.
Thanks Glenda ..Maybe I was looking too hard for that great sound bite ...I definately could be mistaken... it sounds like "Nick's "hick bar" fits anyhow ...never been there... not a very good national story.
