Crowd was monstrous to anti-war demonstrator

First, EVERYONE should go look at the pictures in the link given in the posting of the article.

Thanks, radar101, for posting this followup.

Starting up the F.R. Translator......

I carried a sign with a photo of a war-torn child from Iraq and an anti-war sign from Moveon.org.

I carried a sign in my left hand with a photo I printed off the internet, a sign in my left hand that Moveon.org sent me free for 9.95 shipping/handling, my purse in one hand, my cellcam phone in the other, and one bottle of Evian in my last hand. (I'm a pretty handy girl)

Local police told me I had a right to be in the crowd and close to the stage.

I shoved my way through the crowd, to get close to the stage, and forced my way past local police who told me I was being rude and had no right to be in such a peaceful, well-behaved crowd.

Three Navy/Army men were in front of me. I told them I loved them and I support them 100 percent - just not this war based on lies. They thanked me for my gratitude and belief in democracy.

I tried to con my way past three men in some kind of uniforms by yapping in their face about how I loved them and supported them, but not if they are going to kill people.

They were polite, but refused to let me by as they said "it's a free country, we don't have to move out of the way for you".

Right away McCain's security force asked to leave. I told them that I had spoken with local police and had a right to be there. They told me it was disrespectful to be there and asked me to leave.

The SS noticed my disturbance, and politely asked me to either quit or leave. I told them that I had already informed the local police that I had my right to free speech, and to be there, and that unless someone had burnt the Declaration of Independence in the past fifteen minutes, I still had those rights (or is it the Gettysburg Address?)

Anyway, I promised to cool it and Senator McCain was coming onstage so they had to scatter.

When McCain appeared and I held my signs up, at least three men surrounded me and blocked my signs with theirs. Then the crowd turned hostile. Someone called me a bitch and told me to get "the f---" out of there. Another ripped the photo of the child from my hands, and others pushed me through the crowd while hurling threats and foul comments.

When McCain appeared, I held my signs up, and my cell phone, and took a couple of slugs from the water bottle. Some women had joined up with the soldiers and were carrying their own signs. McCain couldn't see mine. I was heartbroken. So, I started chanting and yelling, "stop the WARMONGERS. QUIT KILLING CHILDREN. McCAIN is a MURDERER."

The soldiers and their sluts started yelling at me to "STFU". I couldn't believe their rudeness, so I started yelling back at the nasty b*tches holding the signs, telling them they were baby killers too.

Finally the women said "Hey b*tch, get the f*** out of here. You are not wanted and you are a disgrace."

They shoved me and the photoprint I had hastily taped onto some cardboard came loose.

I was gonna make a real stink, but everyone in the crowd I was in contact with kept pushing me backwards, until I finally reached the back end of the crowd.

I felt like one of those people at a rock concert who dives into the crowd, and is carried hand to hand overhead.

They were not allowing people to express their democratic freedoms. They were allowing only perfect crowd-pleasing supporters within this sphere of influence that our so-called democratic media would report on.

Anyway, I think I'll change the details of the incident 'just a little' and send it to some websites I know of on the internet, and see if I can at least get some sympathy for the way I was treated.

So do we live in a democratic society? I think not. The word empire comes closer to mind.

We live in a democratic society. People should respect my 'rights' in society, and not treat me like the screaming maniacs that they are. Those people, especially the little whores who hung around the soldiers, had no right to block my signs with theirs.

They had no right to speak when I was trying to get the attention of McCain, and the cameras.

And even if everyone in the crowd didn't 'like' what I was doing, they had no right to just shove me out.

I'm gonna be depressed about this for weeks, and I need to take my pills now before I go into convulsions.

And it's all your fault, you baby-killing warmongers.
