Ok now the facts.

The Anti War group had about 50 people we had 7. She stated one of guys growled and that I yelled. Misquote. I spoke to the woman as they passed that I am guided by the Catholic Caticism and self defense is acceptable when one is under attack.

She said well I am Catholic but your Jesus is not my Jesus.

She had was getting out of earshot by then so I raised my voice to repeat that self defense is ok.

Also not noted is the cars honking in support of us and the lack of for the Anti-war demonstrators.

Kevin and I were spit on by a bongo playing peace nik.

They had a few strays that stood with us by mistake. My son (who communicates with facial gestures) was laughing at the strays who we tried to direct to their group. One lady when she caught on said is that what he is laughing about? My son also has a communication system he activates with a head switch and he asked one of the strays "are you lost" this is one of 40 preproggammed phrases he has that phrase is usaully used when I am driving.

Bottom line the story is one sided. We had so many thumbs up and honking for are little group that the counter demonstrator came and stood up about 10 feet from us so that the one way traffic saw them first but the honkers reserved their support bye eye contact and thumbs up directly at us.

7 against 50? Sounds like perfect odds to me! Way to go. Thanks for the report, and the "real" report. Inflation of numbers seems to be a peacenik thing. I wonder if that is the same as lying?
