About 2,000 anti-war/pro-choice, protesters clash with about 1,000 anti-abortion advocates Near DNC center. :p

---------------------------------------------------
The two groups crossed paths at an intersection and exchanged angry words. A brief scuffle broke out between some of the peace demonstrators and a man carrying a graphic anti-abortion sign. The man was pushed to the ground and his shirt was torn but he appeared unhurt.
Some of the anti-abortion marchers lay in the street but soon stood up at the request of the police, and the two marches continued their separate ways following a few minutes of confusion.

I can never understand it when hippies resort to violence when they advocate peace, equality, free speech blah blah blah... :baffled:
This has been true since the Vietnam era and beyond! Hell, it even happened in the early stages of OIF in downtown San Francisco. There's even quite a few videos and pictures of these peace protestors doing the same thing on www.protestwarrior.com (search). <--good forum but too conservative for me (go figure)
I just don't understand why protestors of any kind always get their panties in a bunch if they run across someone that has different views OR falls into a different mold. It's quite funny and contradicting if you ask me.
