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 didnt 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.

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

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

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