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.
And his middle name is the dreaded WAYNE.....destied to become a killer....a serial killer.
"Felons can't vote in most places."
Sadly, that's more of an urban legend these days. Most convicted felons CAN vote, so long as they aren't in prison. If I recall correctly, as long as you aren't on parole (or in jail) for a felony in NC you can still vote.
(look what the cat dragged in on #63... a peace rioter who is offended by rules of a polite society)
I don't hit people who take my photo at public demonstrations.
I didn't hit the mangy dumb asses who slapped lefty bumperstickers next to the license plate on my vehicle, which I am sure they took note of.
I didn't hit the similar mangy dumb asses at another demonstration who felt it was their right to steal my yellow ribbon from my vehicle and spit on the doors of it as well.
I didn't hit the idiots who charged up to me and surrounded me, pushing and shoving me as I was videotaping on a public street at a public demonstration.
I didn't hit prissy Malachy Kilbride when he charged me and began slamming his sign into me and my video camera, asking me as he did, "You gettin' a good view of this?"
The friends I was with on another night didn't drag from his car the guy who threw an apple at them as they stood peacefully on a street.
We've had people from your side vandalize our vehicles, destroy our signs, take our photos (GASP!), shoot video of us (DOUBLE GASP!), push, shove, hit, throw things, threaten and insult us and the children with us...
But we don't resort to assault and battery, as those on your side do.
Those on your side feel that they are entitled to do whatever they want, even physically attack those who they do not like or whose looks offend their delicate sensibilities.
Your friends made a foolish mistake when they beat up a cop.
The streets do not belong to you and your buds, no matter how often or how loudly you chant, "Whose streets?! Our streets!"
If you go out on the street to participate in a public demonstration, you will be photographed and filmed. By MS Media, by independent media, by freelance photographers, and by police.
Get over it and get used to it.
The streets are not your personal sandbox.
Do not throw sand in anyone's eyes, or you will get a well-deserved timeout.
OIP
