NY ICE attended the nyu(new york university) immigration panel discussion on April 9th, 2007.
Before the nyu event even started, one of our NY ICE Members, Jim B., who is a 65-year-old ex-Marine, was physically assaulted by the other side. Here is a picture of what he looked like after the attack:
And, here are pictures of the perpetrator, Marlon Barrios-Solano:
A close-up suitable for a mug shot:
From the NY ICE President, this is what happened:
Jim and Elinore, another NY ICE Member, were walking toward nyu. Elinore was wearing her "Secure the Border" cap and held a sign that said "Illegals Go Home". A large younger man tried to tear the sign away from Elinore. Jim B. defended Elinore, getting in between them. The man punched Jim B. in the face, possibly with a weapon in his hand, because Jim sustained a gash in his face right below his eye.
Jim was taken to St. Vincent's Hospital. I informed most of our contingent about what had happened. After the nyu event, which featured the typical attempt from the childish "other side" to silence us with cursing, yelling, and belligerence, I went with Elinore to the Hospital.
Always the soldier, Jim said that this was the "price of war". He was ok. The CAT scan revealed nothing serious. The injury below his eye, however, looked terrible: It was a large contusion that had already turned all shades of purple. He had to have 4 stitches, and Elinore and I looked on while the surgeon, Andrea Cordova, sewed him up. Jim said that the guy who assaulted him was arrested. We later learned that his name was Marlon Barrios-Solano.
