First it was Marine Chris Marquez almost beaten to death by a bunch of progressive anti-war extremists, now it’s Michael Schroeder. He is the second victim of the left wing’s war on Iraq war veterans. Marine Michael Schroeder suffered a fractured skull, a severe concussion, there were head staples, convulsions, fevers and he could hardly speak, according to his family. A GoFundMe page has been set up to help Schroeder pay for his medical expenses.

“Michael could’ve died that night,” Deidre Schroeder said.
The worst part is the family really doesn’t know what happened.
“I wasn’t trying to find trouble. I was actually just trying to walk home,” said Michael Schroeder in a softened voice.
That’s the last thing Schroeder, an Operation Iraqi Freedom Marine, says he remembers. He was out drinking with friends that night and separated to go home. In nearby surveillance cameras, you see Schroeder near Wisconsin Avenue NW before 2 a.m. He cuts through a parking lot to 37th Street NW, but after he turns the next thing he remembers is ambulance lights.
A D.C police report says two officers responded to a 911 call and found Schroeder laying face-down between town cars. The report says he felt very cold, appeared highly intoxicated and was bleeding from the back of his head.
Surveillance video shows Schroeder walking through a parking lot at around 1:34 a.m. Police say they responded at around 2:47 a.m. but that same surveillance footage shows the ambulance arrival time as about an hour later, at around 3:47 a.m. The family believes the actual emergency response time was 3:47 a.m.
As was the case with the Chris Marquez beating, the national media will likely ignore the beating of Michael Schroeder.
