You were very lucky. They were amateur leftists. Hard core leftists know how foolish their words and arguments are to anyone but the faithful and always have a goon squad to ensure that their message isn't tainted. It is a classic labor demonstration tactic.

During metesky's interview with one of the TV stations, one of their "enforcers", a geek with the leather Aussie hat, nose hairs curling down over his chin and I guess what passes for a threatening look among their kind, stationed himself about 3 feet away just to let us know they were monitoring the interview.

Metesky said, "Hey, Hat, that all right with you? Did I leave anything out"?

He scurried back across the street.

And, trust me, one of their labor goons wouldn't have intimidated metesky, either.

I grew up in Boston and the Merrimack Valley. I'm too stupid to be scared and it shows, so these people won't mess with me any more than a street robber would think I was "prey".

One of the great perks of being a geologist, always a rock hammer at hand... :)
