Oh NO! They ran off a Protest Warrior. They are our staunchist allies in the protest business. I can't believe that. Wonder why he couldn't make them understand who he was? I hate that so much. We owe them an apology...BIG TIME.

You really would have had to be there to understand why the crowd reacted like they did. It was very much a "mass" mentality... EXTREMELY confusing... I was told it was a protester from the other side, so I ran and grabbed a few shots, but it definitely was not intentional. It was an EXTREMELY fluid situation, with lots of emotionally charged people. Quite fun, unfortunately one of our own guy's signs got taken out.

Actually, the Protest Warriors went to Camp Cindy, which was where they were heading next anyway.

They understood that it was a big misunderstanding. I spoke with ProtestWarrior myself. It was an ordeal, but I think everyone was cool after the dust settled. At least that was my read on the situation.

Even the "victim" admitted that he could see how the misunderstanding could happen. But it WAS quite a scene, and I think the poor guy was literally terrified.
