03/27/2003 Archived Entry: "Protesters Throw Stones at National Guardsman"

I HOPE THEY DON'T CALL THEMSELVES AMERICANS: (Via ESR contrib. Trey Wickwire) I really wish I hadn't blocked out cursing on this blog right now because I feel like unleashing a torrent. Fox News reports that a female National Guardsman was attacked by rock throwing teenagers last week in Vermont.

"The teens blocked the sergeant as she went into a store and again on the way out, yelling obscenities at her along the way, Roosevelt said. The group also threw small stones at her car as she drove away, he added.

"The sergeant said she believed the protesters had taken part in an anti-war demonstration in Montpelier that day. National Guard troops are often deployed to such events to help keep the peace."

Well, I actually know a couple of words that might make it past the language filter...
