@surgephilly: While covering a demonstration against military action in the Middle East in Philadelphia, protesters got aggressive. They intentionally got in our way, attempted to throw punches, and even took time to boo us. They were very uncomfortable with our presence at their demonstration. The reason is simple: their Anti-American rhetoric is unpopular. The demonstrators shared their condemnation of all US involvement in the Middle East and characterized America as an imperialist country. Building on these sentiments one speaker shouted ‘send the imperialists (US Soldiers) back in body bags’ and was met with cheers from the crowd. In attempts to stop us from recording them, they get physical but we will never be intimidated and will continue covering demonstrations like these.

I used to LOVE going to Philly every year. I skipped this year to take my 12yr old to a concert down there because I didnt want her to get in the middle of this stuff
