Anti Americanism: Want to be he's a lefty?


ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Authorities say video surveillance footage from an Albany Wal-Mart store shows a uniformed U.S. Army officer being attacked by a man who had verbally harassed the soldier for his military service.
Albany police released the footage after charging 47-year-old Yiqiang Wu of Schenectady with assault as a hate crime for Thursday's fight at a checkout line.
The Army captain told police that a man behind him in line began to yell derogatory comments at him about the United States and his service to the nation. Police say Wu then struck the officer several times in the face. The officer was treated at the scene.
The video shows the officer, dressed in camouflage fatigues, confronting the man before being attacked.
Wu is free on bail. It couldn't be determined if he had a lawyer.
