I can't believe how the rights of these peaceful anti-war community
organizers are being violated:

Members of the Connecticut delegation said they were attacked by protesters
when they got off their bus near the Xcel Center, KMSP-TV reported. Delegate
Rob Simmons told the station that a group of protesters came toward his
delegation and tried to rip the credentials off their necks and sprayed them
with a toxic substance that burned their eyes and stained their clothes.

One 80-year-old member of the delegation had to be treated for injuries, and
several other delegates had to rinse their eyes and clothing, the station
reported.

...

Terry Butts, a former Alabama Supreme Court justice who is a convention
delegate, was on a bus taking delegates to the arena when a brick through
the window sprayed glass on him and two others. Butts said he wasn't hurt.

"It just left us a little shaken," he said. "It was sort of a frightening
moment because it could have been a bomb or a Molotov cocktail."

Or an Alinsky beer mug. Or a Weather Underground shot glass.
