Counter-demonstrating

I went a demonstration on Sunday; around 50 mopes, mostly palis, some Lebanese, a few of the local "peace at any price, even if it means the death of your children" weekly anti-war demonstrators (first noted here: #248).















Here's a photo of my daughter and me, doing our bit to counter-demonstrate:

While we were standing across from the Federal Building, a pali came to our side of the street to take photos. As he edged the lens towards us, I told him there was no need for subterfuge; he could just photograph us. He snarled at me, and I then asked him which one of his kids was wearing the bomb belt. That set off the crowd. One mope was restrained by another. For a while, I thought I might get a chance to run a shakedown of my new Taurus 145. I wished them a hearty "aloha snackbar" and "cos emuk" as we left. The palis jeered, as well they should; of all the people in the local frum community we called, none would come to join us.
