A picture depicting President Obama as Hitler brings brings back
emotional memories for an Armenian immigrant living in Washington
state.
Now, he says he’s facing an assault charge, because he tried to put
a stop to the use of that image.
Henry Gasparian was walking through downtown Edmonds, Washington,
where two people had signs and literature depicting President Obama
as Adolf Hitler.
"I said, ‘Never come up to me with that kind of stupid things,"
said Gasparian. "I don’t want to see picture of killer, a demon,
to be used for someone’s political career."
During World War Two, Gasparian was a boy living in Armenia as Hitler
began his campaign of extermination.
"I have some relatives who were killed. My other uncle came home
without a leg."
Gasparian said he tried grabbing some of the people’s pamphlets.
They shoved, he shoved and then he walked away.
He’s now charged with fourth degree assault.
The protesters were supporters of Lyndon LaRoche, a perennial
presidential candidate and staunch opponent of the president.
