but nothing, specifically, of protester unruliness, other than Tim Sherno claiming that the 5 Eyewitness News Team's camera had been spray-painted. Despite the running camera, there was no evidence of this crime in action. I haven't been much of a conspiracy-theorist since my college days, but...with all the video on the news and on youtube, is there any extant footage of protesters actually damaging any property or committing any crimes? I did witness Amy Goodman get arrested for asking police a question:
but other than that, I saw no malfeasance.
This from the New York Daily News:
Alan Rybak, a real estate agent from Lakeville, Minn., stood along the protest route carrying a sign that read "Support Our Troops."
"I'm here to support our troops and to tell (protesters) to get a job and go home," said Rybak, a Republican Party activist.
Hi, Alan! I'm a mom of three, a protester, and I have a job! Heyyyy, how 'bout that? The other people I knew at the protest were also gainfully employed. See, it was Labor Day, so a lot of folks had the day off and didn't actually have to be at their jobs. I, however, left the protest early because I had to work on Labor Day, since the RNC was in town and all. Oh...what's that? What were you doing on Labor Day? Oh, you had the day off and you decided to protest? Ohhhh, interesting! So you're a scumbag protester too? Maybe you should go back to Lakeville and work a little harder selling homes unethically, dickhead!
