  • Kimmer Attacked at Veterans Day Parade

    I was also at the parade with a friend about 20 feet away from this idiot. Kimmer was directly across the street. Right as the parade started I went up and confronted him. He was about 6'6" and probably 275 pounds but not in very good shape. He wasn't obviously drunk or high but he was very dirty and unkempt. He and I exchanged very heated words for about 5 minutes. He claimed to be a Vietnam vet from 1968. When I told him I was an Air Force vet he said, "F... the Air Force." He turned away from me and spit on the ground several times. I tried my hardest to provoke him more but he just keep yelling about how George H. W. Bush had killed JFK and that GW's grandfather was Hitler's banker. You can't even find that kind of crap at moveon.org! We decided to stay near him and every time he tried to yell something disgraceful we would cheer or clap for the parade participants. One guy atop a small APC just looked at him and just gave him the finger and the crowd erupted in cheers. The run in with Kim was a few minutes after the parade and I wish I had been there. I called Kimmer on the air later that afternoon and thanked him for taking this guy out. Although Kimmer got a couple scrapes he did get to take this guy out and created a lively topic for the Friday drive home. Had the guy actual spit on me at the beginning of the parade, Kimmer wouldn’t have had such an exciting story. It would have only been something like, “Man, I went to the parade and saw this 38 year old guy kick the living crap out of some idiot.” Thanks Kim; we'll call it even. I gotta go, you’re killing me.
