GREENSBORO — Five protestors attending an anti-Bush rally in Greensboro on Tuesday night assaulted a plain-clothes officer trying to take their picture, according to police.

Greensboro police described the following version of events, according to a press release:

As officers monitored a group of 130 protestors on Elm Street, a small portion of that crowd moved away, proceeding east on Lewis Street.

Several in the smaller group then assaulted a plain-clothes officer as he tried to photograph them, police said.

Uniformed officers then responded to that area.

Kenneth Wayne Harris, 24, of 621 Fairmont St., was charged with assault on a government official, public disturbance and carrying a concealed weapon. Harris was released on a $500 bond, a Guilford County jail employee said this morning.

Zachary Harrell Jones, 21, of 902 W. Market St., and Andrew James O'Hara, 26, of 1312 W. Market St., were charged with assault on a government official, public disturbance and delay and obstruct. They were each released on a $500 bond.

George Lawrence Saba, 22, of 621 Fairmont St., was charged with assault on a government official and public disturbance. Saba was released on a $500 bond.

Kyle Daniel Whisenant, 22, of 2627 Walker Ave., was charged with assault on a government official, public disturbance, carrying a concealed weapon and delay and obstruct. Whisenant was released on a $1,000 bond.

Erik Lee Stephens, 20, of 311 S. Mendenhall, and Marissa Reneee Csanvi, 22, of 1312 W. Market St., were charged with public disturbance.

The rally was one of dozens held across the nation on the night President Bush delivered his annual address before Congress.

The events were organized by a group called World Can't Wait, which aims to "Drive out the Bush regime." The group is organizing a protest this weekend in Washington.

<< Something which is always overlooked about the great public support for WWII is that the left was firmly agitated against US involvement until on specific event. The invasion of the USSR.

When Hitler started rolling a hundred miles a day toward Moscow, and hundreds of thousands of Soviets had been captured, the communists sent out directives to get the US involved. The communists (leftists, progressives, fellow travelers) turned from devout pacifists to raging warmongers over night. However, their loyalty was never to the United States. >>

Absolutely True!

And the self-annointed, self-appointed and self-perpetuating bastard offspring of the Communist Party of America/Alger Hiss et al fronted State Department brahmamas that engineered that turnabout [In support of its Soviet masters] has ever since cloned itself and is a live and well at Foggy Bottom and in "our" Foreign Service.

The police never search FReepers at these protests, they only search the other guys.

BTW, UNCG is becoming a hot bed of "progressives" aka radical sexists, bigots, anti-capitalists and anti-Americans. (It's not too unlike Evergreen in Washington.)

If you saw American Idol last week when it was in Greensboro, you got a glimpse at the talentless culture of entitlement-ism and oversex-ism that permeates the campus.

was charged with assault on a government official

On a "plain clothes" officer?

Just curious. How can they charge them for assault on a government official if he wasn't dressed as one?

Maybe they thought he was Paparazzi and since they know they they are "big celebrities" al la Cindy Sheehan they pulled a Sean Penn on him.

"More from the Do as I say, not as I do school of left-wing thought. "

The demonrats have perfected the art of projection. Everything negative they do, they deny and then accuse the right of doing it.

If he ID'd himself the charges are warranted. But if not, it sounds a little too big brother to me.

I remember a story of cops who with guns drawn, broke into the wrong house, arrested the home-owner for pointing a gun at them.

Felons can't vote in most places.

Unless they are democrats. Or give a fake name and vacant lot as their address.
