Prosecutors won't proceed with charges in a brawl that involved several members of the Palin family, Anchorage police said Thursday.

The news comes as Anchorage police released a report Thursday morning outlining witness statements in the fight.

...snip...

Police said they arrived to find Track Palin, shirtless, bloody and heavily intoxicated, getting into a white limousine to leave the party. Witnesses described a large fight involving at least 20 people that included members of the Palin family.

Several witnesses said they watched Bristol Palin repeatedly punch homeowner Korey Klingenmeyer in the face. Klingenmeyer told police he had asked Bristol Palin to leave, after which she became angry and began punching him.

Wonder what the limo ended up costing; getting blood out of the leather seats can be really expensive...

1. Maybe "Palin Brawl Limo" will become a thing like the old gangsters' "death cars."

They can send the limo on a cross country tour and charge Freepers $$$$ to look at it in slack-jawed wonderment.

[monmouth3]

6. Much like Bonnie and Clyde and their bullet riddled car..n/t

[damyank913]

45. You don't need a car when you can shoot shit from a chopper...

...American Royalty? I know people living in trailer parks that would hate to have them for neighbors.

[Archae]

2. Once again the Palin brood gets off.

Like the Zimmermanns, (George especially,) "Da rulz are fer da little people."

[mainstreetonce]

3. Maybe the home owner

should sue.

[secondwind]

4. maybe the homeowner was paid off royally.. would not surprise me

[calimary]

9. I would imagine THIS is what happened.

Bought his silence both to the media and to any attorneys that might be interested in taking the case.

[Monk06]

22. The homeowner,Klingenmeyer, is the project manager for the paving company owned by buddies

of the Palins and the party was in celebration of their birthday.

Klingenmeyer wouldn't even lift his hand to defend himself against Bristol Palin because it would have cost him his job just like the guy who first reported the brawl lost his job.

The Palins are Hillbilly gangsters and racketeers.

[ctsnowman]

43. Exactly!

[SummerSnow]

5. That dang mooseshine again.

[heaven05]

7. of course

didn't ever expect anything different. They are the 'anointed'.

[Scairp]

19. These people are such trash

Instead of crowing about how "proud" she is of her daughter she should have apologized. That's what decent people do. Not the Palins. They make themselves out to be victims. Trashy, trashy, trashy, all day long.

[shenmue]

47. Oh yeah

[yuiyoshida]

10. I knew she wouldn't be charged...

she was after all the former gov and vice presidential candidate for the REPUBLICAN party...and that simply means favoritism from mostly every official. The Police probably asked for autographs and to have their photos taken with her...

[cstanleytech]

12. I'm leaning more towards the victims silence being bought. nt

[yuiyoshida]

13. I am quite sure thats part of it ...

as well, yes.

[cstanleytech]

15. Well it worked for Cheney *shrug*

[freshwest]

18. +1

[cstanleytech]

11. I'm wondering what it cost to silence the victim of the assault. nt

[blkmusclmachine]

17. A mooseburger and side of wasilla freedumb fries

[ctsnowman]

44. lol Love it.

[bullwinkle428]

14. "Thanks a lot, white privilege!"

[Spitfire of ATJ]

16. Damn,...I was picturing Bristol acting all hard as she's tossed into general population.

[dembotoz]

20. above the law--damn shame

[xocet]

21. How is the consistent testimony of seven witnesses insufficient to yield a charge?

Anchorage police: No charges in Palin birthday brawl

...

Klingenmeyer told police that a fight had broken out in the cul-de-sac in front of the home, and he had asked guests not to get involved. A few minutes later, Bristol and Willow Palin came around the back of the house, and Bristol looked like she wanted to start a fight, Klingenmeyer said.

Klingenmeyer asked her to leave, he told police. “Who the fuck are you?” she responded. He told her he was the homeowner, and she responded that he didn’t own the house and she would “kick his ass.”

“He says then that she hits him in the face. He says he then tells her to hit him again if it makes her feel better and she does. He says he lets her hit him 5-6 times in the face and that she was hitting pretty hard. After about the sixth punch he grabbed her fist as she punched again and he pushed back and she falls down. He says she gets up and tries to punch him again and he grabs her fist again and pushes her away and she falls down again,” Daily wrote.

Seven other witnesses told police the same version of events as Klingenmeyer.

27. I think that's the reason Klingenmeyer refused to press charges himself.

It's pretty obvious to me that he was a true bad ass and felt he handled it himself. People like that don't normally go crying to the law. If the homeowner doesn't want to make a big deal of it police have little reason to act independently on private property.

I had a chuckle when I pictured Kligenmeyer picking Bristol up after she got worn out punching him and carried he out to the street where he set her down. He iced the cake when he told the half governor and her husband to get their "crew" out of there.

I don't even care if any Palins get charged because everybody in the state knows this story by now, and I doubt many feel for them. I don't think acting like pretentiously entitled assholes goes over well in Alaska. Now the whole state probably sees the Palins like the rest of us have for years. Unfortunately, that means we'll likely see more of them down here.


BTW... "Long white limo"? Lucky for them it wasn't prom night, or they would have had to drive.

[xocet]

31. You make some excellent points, and your signature line is very humorous. n/t

[Nye Bevan]

23. I wonder whether if it had been a guy repeatedly punching a woman,

instead of the other way round, if the decision not to press charges would still have been made.

[OldRedneck]

24. All police reports at this link

Here's a link to all the police reports:

I will not insult the fine people who live in mobile homes by referring to the Palin's as "trailer trash."

[Dont call me Shirley]

25. Guess who won't be invited to any more local parties!? LOL

[Erose999]

30. I don't think they were "invited" to this party. They just showed up. It was someone else's B-day.

[Rozlee]

32. Hmph. Let them come over to one of my family's parties.

Palin loves waxing poetic over 'small town values.' Let her come over to my relatives' homes on the South Side of San Antonio. I can't go into any of the gory details but I will say that white limousine will be belching smoke when it chugs out of the driveway with graffiti all over it saying, "GTFO, cabrones.

[Mister Nightowl]

26. I can understand this decision

If I were a DA, I sure as hell wouldn't want Bristol "Mad Dog" Palin coming after me and my family!

[C Moon]

28. A large swath of Alaskan population probably loved hearing about the Palins brawling.

I'm not surprised there were no charges.

[olegramps]

29. This is the type of trash that McCain choose as a running mate.

The entire family is a pack of trash. They would have turned the Vice President's residence into a slum dwelling with their drunken parties. They probably would have assaulted a few foreign ministers and their spouses for not giving them kickbacks for inviting them. Bristol could have been the hat check girl and beat up anyone and stole their coats for do not paying up while Track cleaned out their limos. Refreshments would have been keg beer and moose jerky while Sara entertained with a strip act. Todd would do his part and provide Ski Doo rides in the back yard. Nothing but class for the Wasilla hillbillies.

[7962]

33. So apparently Sarah never got out of the car. Thats not what we heard originally.

[Corey_Baker08]

34. Why Was The Limo Not Pulled Over Leaving The Scene Of The Crime?

The police had probable cause to do so, and its not like they could not find the vehicle it sticks out like a sore thumb, for god sakes its not like they left in a silver 2002 ford tauras which seem to be the most mass produced vehicle and color ever lol....

Charges should have been filed, this was complete bullshit on behalf of the police officers and DA

[ohnoyoudidnt]

35. WHAT?

Money and political connections can diminish your chances of being prosecuted? I am shocked!

[Blue_Roses]

36. What gets me is that SarahPalin will go on

her favorite TV affiliate, tell big fat lies of how they were " victimized", drum up sympathy, and still have supporters who will want her to run for president. I just don't get it...

[Scarsdale]

37. Fooled

$carah is making an appearance at a Christian school in Williston, ND on Monday. I wonder how much she is being paid? On a very sad note, not included in the police report, but written about by attendees at that brawl. Bristol's young son was there, running around drinking beer from cups left unattended. Nobody was watching him they said. The police should have taken him into protective custody and called his father (not one of the trial daddies Bristol regularly has) Instead, he was allowed to ride home in a stetch Humvee (yees, it was a Humvee!!) with a group of angry, drugged up drunks spewing foul language. Family values - Palin style. Todd has clout up there, since many of the police are "customers" at his prostitution bidness.

[47of74]

38. Fuck you John McCain for inflicting Princess Dumbass of the North Woods on us.

Along with her entire worthless family.

[davidthegnome]

39. I've been to a couple of crazy parties.

But never one with such classy people! A white limo? Former Governor and her family? I bet you could cut the pretension with a knife.

I really wish we could send the Palin family to Russia. Think we could convince Putin to adopt them?

[treestar]

40. this makes me madder than the "banksters" not getting charged

That at least would be complicated. This is simple and there's plenty of evidence.

[shenmue]

48. I wonder

what they did to get rid of all the smartphone videos. In this day and age, there had to be some.

Or else somebody's holding on to a big, big video clip in order to blackmail them.

[Paper Roses]

41. Remember: It's what you know but who you know.

The rest of us are on our own.

[book_worm]

42. Bristol, the abstinence queen, repeatedly punching a guy in the face...

I wonder if her child was there to witness it all?

[City Lights]

46. Gee, what a surprise! nt
