Interesting in the picture when you all are on the sidewalk and the freaks are in the street, they are almost all looking at you as they walk by, although you were just a few in number. It's almost as if in in their feeble, liberal minds, they know that they're on the wrong side of the issue. If the roles were reversed and the good guys were marching in the street, would we be gawking at a few of THEM on the sidewalk? I think not.

Well done

[michaelje]

Keen obeservation. They all fixated toward us as they strolled by.

RE: Wacko.

This guy was the Green party alternate. Jonobon and I were standing there working the crowd along with the Mad Israeli and the Russian-American and this guy walks up, one of the 60s' brain damaged.

On the top of his sign in pencil is Jews and Christians, upper left hand cornor. Now here I am FReepin' with three Jews, who have their act together better than I and he starts throwing the Bible at me. "We Christians and Jews are imposing our version of God on the world, and misinterpiting the religon clause of the Constitution and not abiding by the UN thing in South Africa," said he.

Did the First Commandment on him about worshoping false gods, and then some more on the Religon Clause and its history, he went away.

Unfortunately, I lived in Ohio during the Gore thing. We had demonstrations in Cleveland as well, but I was working both times (shift worker). Well, I'll be at a freep some day. In the meantime, I will support this site and all those who stand up for the cause.

It was a foggy, drizzly day in Boston.

As this was my first Freep, I was lucky to have Little Bill, a veteren in both senses of the word to provide direction. Luckily he had brought some signs and markers.

We were greatly outnumbered, there were hundreds of people. A woman gave a speech that sounded like a lecture from a mean mom. She was followed by among other things, an emasculated-sounding liberal demagogue, some arabic singing and a girl with a guitar. There were all kinds of signs and flags - among them a large black flag with the red A for anarchy, a sign saying "Get us out of the Middle East" and the dreaded blue United Nations flag. This was a demonstration to oppose the US military action against the Taliban.

Although the Itinerary for the demonstration said it would include a somber memorial to the thousands of people murdered Sept 11th, I noticed no reference to those poor souls.

There were many types of people in attendance- Trench-coat mafia-types, anarchists, people wearing YassirArafat-style scarves, curious bystanders, a Lesbian Brigade, Arabs, A guy with a pro-communism sign, there was even a frizzled-out hippy who looked like he had been cyrogenically frozen in 1969. He was ranting about something, I'm not sure what. There were some cute girls doing a political skit. Unfortunately they did not offer me any free love.

When Little Bill and I first arrived we met up with two young guys with an America flag. Shortly therafter, we were joined by the Israeli with the dog and a Russian-American man. Those guys were great - they are so opposite the deluded suburbanite punks this rally was full of. One guy commisioned a poster which I made for them with Little Bill's materials. It said "WANTED: OSAMA BIN LADEN, DEAD or alive."

I was interviewed by a sociologist from Harvard and a reporter from the big local newspaper. They were both good listeners and took notes.

This rally was the precursor to a march through the city to a park. I took my "No Excuse For Terrorism"-sign and got into the crowd with the Anarchists. There was some kind of camera crew with what looked like a large TV camera, but they weren't from the networks. I got my sign in front of it and started saying "7000 DEAD!" loudly and clearly. They stood there and taped me.

I was going along with the parade saying "We want Revenge - 7000 DEAD!" over the drone of the hippies. They heard me and they were surprised. Very few dared to argue with me. A burned-out looking guy made a remark equating US military action with "terrorism," which is exactly what I had discussed with the reporter - my dislike of the attempts to redefine terrorism as liberation and vice-versa.

After rushing ahead, I took up a position and held my sign as the parade went by. The people in this crowd were a nasty lot. Some looked foolish, some looked subversive, some looked stoned, some looked silly, they were an obnoxious gang. I didn't see the freepers again after this point. After everybody passed by, Boston reverted back to peace and quiet. I got a cup of coffee and took the subway back to my car, drove home and took my dogs for a walk.

Thanks Little Bill! I'll try to get my pictures on-line in the next hour.

[michaelje]

Thanks. We are honored.

[jonatron]

He called Bill a nazi.

[michaelje]

You summed it up well. I like your use of the term "Lesbian Brigaders". Id say there were about 1000 lib's in total.

[michaelje]

Let me know when your pictures are up. That old burned out hipped made me laugh so much I thought I was going to explode. I keep watching the video over and over, and it gets funnier each time.

Bring it on the 20th

The New England Chapter of FR is meeting on the 20th of October 2001 at the Grill on Solomon Pond in Northboro, Mass, at 2PM. We are reorganizing, FR mail for directions, if you want to eat get back as soon as you can, short money.

[cactmh]

OMG! I thought the handful of hippies hanging out here on the campus of UF were bad. New England hippies are 10x worse.

[jonatron]

...there was even a frizzled-out hippy who looked like he had been cyrogenically frozen in 1969.

[jonatron]

Great pictures. The first picture of the thread is the "Lesbian Brigade" - But I didn't make that up, it was on one of their t-shirts.

[michaelje]

Youll have to mail me your private email address. You have to see the clip I have of this freak. Its hysterical.

[michaelje]

Ill bring it. Put me down as attending on the 20th Bill.
