I was with 3 other FReepers at the very front of the crowd when the altercation between the anarchists and Protest Warriors took place. Being so short and squished among taller people, I couldn't see a thing, but I heard the running commentary from the US soldiers guarding the checkpoint and people nearby.

At one point, I was being pushed into one of the concrete barriers, but I managed to wiggle around it. I thought I was going to be crushed or knocked down and trampled. It was frightening for a bit. We finally did get through the security checkpoint and made it to the parade area, and found the FReepers in the American Sector.

Here's some pix the Protest Warriors took.

It was very scary and somewhat painful being squished to near death. What if the pepper spray had been used when we were still down there? I'll never get over it and it will take me a long time to let go of my anger towards those pigs who, not only want to ruin our country, but ruined MY DAY!! Sonsofbiscuiteaters....grrrrr
