Edited because I didn't realize Indymedia won't allow their pictures to be placed anywhere else. I got a bunch of red "FUCK BUSH" pictures instead.

Scroll down to the second picture.

This is the guy (in the orange Tenessee hat) who came after me and got in my face. As the commentary reads below, the guy is really just a pathetic idiot.


INDYMEDIA COMMENTARY:

This guy was on the other side of the street with another two or three pro-war kooks. This guy was yelling at a Mexican standing there opposing the Bush fascism. He was yelling at the Mexican to go across the street since he's a wetback.

I asked this clown why he thought he was a wetback. He said, "because he told me he is." I asked him why he thought he should be on the other side of the street. I didn't get a rational answer. In fact I didn't get an answer.

I told the guy to lay off the Mexicans and told him, "Man, you really are a Republican, huh?" He started spewing something about Canada as I biked back to where the real Americans were, leaving the stench of contemporary Republicanism behind me.



Another observation from the day:

During the day, a woman marched her very young kids in front of us, cheering for the shrub. Her son, no more than 9, had on camoflague pants and was wearing dog tage. I asked if he'd enlisted since he was all decked out. She said yes. I asked if the military was so desperate, they're now taking 9 year olds. I asked if she was fine sending her child out to die for a rich man's gain. Then, a woman standing next to me, stepped forward. She introduced herself to the woman and told her she was from a war torn country. She asked the woman if she'd ever seen bombs explode? If she'd ever seen bombs kill children? The protesting woman from out side told her she'd seen all that and began describing it. Then, she asked the obviously confused mother if she wanted that to happen to her children, because sehing them over to Iraq was setting her children up to die. Naturally, the mother was angry and just stoped off.

Typical mindless rethug. How truly stupid are these people? And if they really are that stupid, I think we should all be concerned. Not just for the huge issues, but even the simple ones that require just a touch of common sense and a tad of forsight... such as looking before crossing the street.
