POLICE SAY FRIEND PUNCHED ZATKOFF

ZATKOFF WAS DRUNK AND DOESN’T RECALL

An Ann Arbor newspaper reports (making this whole saga a lot less interesting):

While at a party that began last Saturday night, police said Zatkoff picked a fight with some of his friends, and got punched in the eye. Police interviewed Zatkoff at a hospital the next day and he didn’t recall what happened.

People who were at the party told police Zatkoff had too much to drink, said Ann Arbor police Lt. Mike Logghe.

“We interviewed the guy who punched him,’’ said Logghe. “He admitted to punching him. He said he was a friend of his from high school.’‘

CARLSON ISSUES STATEMENT

Michigan CR State Chairman Dan Carlson issued the following statement today regarding the beating of Michigan CR Exec. Dir. Justin Zatkoff:

Justin Zatkoff will be going in to surgery tomorrow from 9 am till 4pm. Please keep him in your prayers.

If any of you are interested in seeing pictures of Justin’s face, they can be seen on: [TRUTH CAUCUS]

I think the assailant broke Justin’s nose, cheekbone, eye cavity, and nasal cavity. The attack was completely unprovoked. I urge all of you to be careful and travel in groups when possible, especially untilthe elections are over.

I’ll send out emails when I know how the surgery went.

Truly,

Dan Carlson
Chairman
Michigan Federation of College Republicans

HATE CRIME

COLLEGE REPUBLICAN ALLEGEDLY BEATEN BY LIBERAL THUGS

Justin Zatkoff, the executive director of the Michigan College Republicans, was brutally beaten after leaving a party in Ann Arbor on Saturday night. The Oakland University junior from Bloomfield Hills, Mich. was rumored to be targeted by militant leftist groups. Zatkoff, pictured above, did not know his attacker, and no money was stolen.

A source close to Zatkoff reports:

Justin may have been 1. randomly attacked (but not robbed??), 2. attacked by BAMN (well known for violence andstrong in Ann Arbor), or 3. attacked by a homosexual rights group (Justin received an ‘odd/threatening’ email from a gay rights group about a day before the attack.)

The mainstream press has not picked up the story.

A report from the Michigan College Republicans earlier this week said:

Justin Zatkoff, Executive Director for the MFCRs, was attacked leaving a party in Ann Arbor Saturday night. Justin had not seen the attacker before, and had no opportunity to defend himself. Justin is well-known for being a conservative and ‘in-your-face’ Republican, and there is quite a bit of speculation that he was targeted by leftist groups. The side of his face was crushed, and he will need to undergo major surgery to rebuild it.

[Update – Alleged attack not what it seemed]
