A small crowd would gather downtown across from the post Office and hold signs condemning the war and Bush. My friend's Mom, and her husband, were both ex-cops, and both now work in legal...he's a prosecuting attorney and she's a lawyer. They both started a very popular lawn sign here that said "Support Our Troops." Anyway, my friend's Mom and her husband started to protest the protesters. They would stand across the street and hold signs supporting the troops and their missions and their well being and basically protesting the crowd on the other side. One Saturday, a man from the anti-war protesters crowd crossed the street and went face to face with my friend's Mom and TOLD her to drop the signs and leave. She refused stating she was well within her rights to protest there. He dropped his PEACE sign and pushed her and punched her in the face. Her husband, a very large man, detained him on the ground in a very painful manner...mind you he used to be a cop and is now a prosecuting attorney who actually ran for mayor here...and the man was arrested on assault charges. We later found out he was the OWNER of a small hippy shop downtown called the PEACE NOOK. Ironic, he was picketing for peace and anti-war yet he felt obligated to punch a 55 year old woman in the face for exorcising the same right to protest. I don't know what happened to him but his shop stayed open and they were a HUGE supporter of Obama. |
