Gathering of Eagles Story Thread
- Posted by Justin Higgins on September 15th, 2007 in
Allow me to explain the lack of pictures tonight. I took pictures and the camera was left on. The camera died and I don't have the charger with me. Now, it's looking like I won't be able to update my site with pictures until tomorrow afternoon. So, I'm gonna be updating this thread with stories soon.
Story #1- Crazy "Yah" Lady- FIAR from Radioactive Liberty, me, and Wild Bill had an interesting incursion with a woman holding a sign that said we need to believe in the power of "Yah." She marched past us during the march, but afterwards she lingered around and we passed her heading down to the Capital. The woman chanted about Jesus and screamed in tongues, then claimed she was the only one that knew how to acheive heaven. "Yah Lady," as I've dubbed her, is a candidate for most over-the-top personality of the day.
Story #2- The Confused Kid- Ok, I suppose I shouldn't call him a kid, because he was 21 years old. He was carrying an ANSWER sign and approached our initial march area on the mall. He was intercepted by some Vietnam Vets and following that, me. We got into a great discussion where he said he wanted to hear both sides. An Iraq War Vet told him that Iraq could become the next Afghanistan, and made it clear this war is winnable. I told the kid about the radical Communist history of ANSWER. The kid ended up tossing out his ANSWER sign and picking up a flag. Victory.

The confused kid
I pray you didn't get him back to the hotel room for a hot-tub indoctrination. That would be creepy.
Isn't it great when someone is willing to hear 'both sides'?
Get some pictures of the skies over Washington. I enjoy seeing stuff like that!
Justin, you can use my pix
