I counter protested the Iranians in D.C. back in 1980 when they held a demonstration in Lafayette Park across from the White House, There was at 800 of them and about 40 of us, I had one of them reach over a Policeman and shove his protest sign towards me, I snatched it from him when the cop turned around to stop him and beat him with the 6 foot long 1x3 board his sign was stapled to. I was arrested along with the Iranian, We were taken to the Police station and when I was awaiting a hearing with the Magistrate, a TV was showing the DC Police beating the Iranian protesters with their billy clubs and tear gassing them :-), The Iranian locked up with me was very upset when I said to him that I should have left him alone so he could been among the Billy Clubbed!! :-)
