"I always wind up in 1" range screaming matches at demonstrations."

Now admit it....ain't it fun to curse the bastards at a nose to nose constrained whisper and inform them that if they touch you - you'll rip their throat out and feed it to the dogs?

The ONLY reason I ever go to San Francisco is for the chance of a "close encounter" of the river rat version with one or more of their Marxists or Anarchists....

Unfortunately -- my sainted wife will no longer accompany me to provide "respectable cover" when the little pukes report the threat to police... All I can do, is stand there as a "harmless old fellow" and ask the LEO - "Who you going to believe? Me or that skanky a$$hole?

Semper Fi

I hear ya, but sometimes I get so worked up I emabarras the more sedate freeper type counter protestors. It really gets me when they wear masks, like they are such "bad" outlaws. Then I heckle them, saying they're so ugly they can't go out in public showing their face, etc. All the "he's so ugly jokes." When they get mad, I make the little "gun finger" sign so they know.
