Free speech Dept.
Protest Warriors Matt and Aaron Margolis mix it up with some anti-Bush demonstrators, who exhibit their famed support for free speech.The fight started after a man wearing an Ironworkers Local 7 sweatshirt, perched atop a subway entrance, repeatedly taunted the brothers.
"They told us to get out of here or we'd get beaten up,'' said Matt Margolis, 24, of Beverly. "I said, 'I support your freedom of speech - please support mine. Come on down and we can have a conversation.' He jumped down and swung on my brother. Then they all jumped in and tore our signs apart.''More details:
The union members let their true colors shine when they started making gay jokes. Yes�the people who are protesting Bush, who opposes gay marriage, were making gay jokes. It didn�t end with gay jokes, they also tossed out the incest, Oedipal incest, and pedophilic jokes. They were classy people.There's lots more - read the whole thing.The scuffle started when union members, specifically the steelworkers, jumped down from the ledge they were standing on and attacked members of the pro-Bush crowd. Those members of the pro-Bush crowd that got the brunt of the attack were Aaron, Matt, and FReeper James; but everyone in the immediate area got a bit of it. The tentative list of injuries includes a bruised knee, sprained (or at least hurt) wrist, scrapes to the face, broken glasses, and a scraped hand (ok, that last one isn�t as impressive) � we�ll have to see what shows up in the morning. . . . the Boston Police Department did not break up the �scuffle,� it was other people in the crowd and from both camps. After this, the Boston Police Department was great.
UPDATE: Antiwar demonstrators also initiated aggression against pro-American demonstrators in Melbourne. Scroll past the Judy Davis poem for the links.
UPDATE: Peaceful multiculural leftists justify the violent aggression, using bigoted stereotypes.
UPDATE: Speaking of protestors, the Frogman has incorporated a few of the more egregious visual aids from last week's marches into his new banners.
