My husband "zelig" and I were with RaceBannon in front of Joe Lieberman's house in New Haven, CT on December 2, 2000 for this rally, and we witnessed Boise Kimber LEAP up on Race's truck -- taking Race, Tom Scott and everyone facing the truck listening to Tom Scott speak -- by complete surprise. It definitely appeared to my husband and me that Kimber was going to attack Race and/or Tom. Race held out his arm to stop him, as it appears in the photo in post #1, but Race did NOT "grab" him in any way. Kimber stood there with a big smile on his face with Race and Tom for just a few seconds - maybe a minute - then suddenly jumped off the truck bed. It was really odd...
Race has been a tireless FReeper who has been in the trenches for us as long as we've known him (November 2000), and well before that, I'm sure. Over the years, Race has traveled to countless rallies all over the northeast and Washington DC, standing in the cold and heat (mostly COLD though!), and his booming voice has been a huge asset to Our Cause.
Just this past Saturday, he traveled to Kingston, NY and participated in yet another rally, FReeping anti-war protestors: After Action Report "Not Another Vietnam" Kingston, NY Nov 13
Thanks!
My check is in the mail!
I'm assuming one or both of you will testify at the trial. Given the nature of the event, there should be plenty of witnesses like you.
Ping for a Freeper in trouble.
Nutmeg, since you were a witness to this incidence, did you testify on behalf of RaceBannon, if so....God bless you; if not......Why Not? Since this trial is still ongoing, why don't you contact Race and let him know you are willing to testify on his behalf.
Thanks for the ping
