From Eventis this morning, before the event described above.

I might get killed today. Well, I take my life into my hands pretty much every morning and evening driving on the highways of South Floria, but today there's going to be a demonstration in support of Luis Posada Carilles, a convicted terrorist and murderer who blew up an airliner in the 1970s and planted a bomb in a Havana hotel in the 90s. It's goin to be in the heart of Little Havana at the memorial for the "Bay of Pigs martyrs."

Some young comrades down here had the very bad idea to counter demonstrate, and before talking to anyone with any ****ing sense, they started making plans. I can't let them go by themselves, and there are only gonna be like 5 people counter-demoing. This is a very, very bad idea. These people do not play around.

After I got back. Mind you, I did this on my lunch break, that's how quick all this was.

======

Well, I'm still alive and we're all unhurt. There was only four of us. We were there for almost two minutes before the crowd surged across the street and attacked.

There were probably about 40 -60 pro-terrorist demonstrators. About 15-20 charged us, kicking at my friends. I tried to block one of the kicks and this old guy spit on me. They were trying to tear down the banner my friends had, and they had to run. After being spit on, no one paid atention to me, so I just walked all cool like, but the two guys were booking with the crowd after them. Then our driver, who was also being ignored, had to run to get the car, and I just waved them to leave me behind and escape. These dudes were kicking the car and throwing things. A photographer got hurt, cuz one of the comrades dodged behind him and he got kicked instead.

Dude, every photographer and cameraman just got their story for today.

All told, despite it being revolutionary advernturism, I'd have to say it was a success. These guys were all acting cool and patriotic and reasonable, and then they flipped out and attacked two people on film. So much for Posada's supporters looking good.

Luckily is was mostly old men who attacked. The people I was really worried about were wearing camo fatigue paratrooper pants, combat boots, and black tee-shirts.

I'll post pics if I can find some from the papers online.

My comrades were gonna call the police, and I was like, don't do that. You might get arrested for inciting a riot. There were no police at this rally at all.

I figure this was how things were gonna go down, except for the part where none of us got hurt.

A little info on the subject at hand

I'm in one of the pictures . . . sort of. In the picture with the two guys holding a banner, I'm behind them, and you can't see me at all. After that picture was taken, the riot began, and I didn't run with my friends, and the photographers all chased them. I wasn't in the car either. I stayed on the other side of the street,cuz I figured if I tried to get to the car, it would endanger both me and the people in the car.

We wouldn't want you to feel such deep feelings for your own country, now would we? Misplaced priorities.

[TCO]

You are such a brave little leftie. Of course real Bolsheviks have weapons and shoot people instead of wearing t-shirts.

[Asher]

Protesters are so stupid...

This is really curious considering that 4 or 5 presumably native born Americans just got attacked and run off by a bunch of elderly immigrants for the crime of daring to show up and having something to say... in their own country.

Very curious indeed.

[SlowwHand]

Is that speculation or do you have facts to present?

[Jon Miller]

The description of the protestors was that many of them were immigrants.

Che was born in the US.

I am not really sure why I take the time to reply to you Sloww.

[SlowwHand]

Frankly, neither do I.

Luis Posada Carilles is a mass murderer and a terrorist and these low lives want him admitted to the United States. All we did was show up for about 30 seconds, call Posada a terrorist, and we were attacked.

Like I said, it was ****ing dumb.

I wasn't wearing a t-shirt. We aren't allowed to wear t-shirts to work.

The point is, you always advocate letting Cubans come here by any means, legal or illegal. Now you act shocked at the results. Think.
