The spitting incident where it hit, not that I know of. I've looked at one video so far. The guy threatening to come back with a gun and calling him a "cracker" are on video. I personally witnessed the other threat and there are photos of those guys coming back with sticks (minus signs) and the police running them off.
I heard the WTOP reporter's local segment where she said that the presence of counter protesters seemed to make the peace protesters mad and that it got out of hand, and she played the "cracker" insult in it's entirety.
I had two bottles thrown at me, people told me it was more. I had a little fun with the "indymedia" types (lefties with camera) who were taking my photo. I'd tell them to be careful and be alert. People were throwing things. It was funny, but you could see a flash of shame cross their face.
I also saw a number of people "symbolically" spit in the wounded warriors direction. I say "symbolically" half heartedly because it was only because they were out of range, standing by the curb with a wide expanse between curb and sidewalk. But they were putting their all into it.
One red headed, punk, lebian, anarchist, fashion challenged girl was absolutely consumed by hate as she would swig from her wattle bottle and spit in their direction. It was well beyond all comprehension. You had to feel sorry for this poor kid because it had her as surely as if an animal had her in it grasp and was going to eat her for supper.
Wow, those folks are insane.
I wish I lived up that way so I could participate in y'alls FReeps. Especially the ones on Friday nights at the corners outside Walter Reed! I follow y'alls threads every week. Thanks for doing what all of you do.
I pinged myself to the March 17 thread. I may see what I(we) can do to get up there.
Thanks for the update on the videos. I'll watch them in a few.
