A bus carrying Alabama delegates to the Xcel Energy Center was attacked by protesters on Monday. Delegates from Connecticut were also attacked:
Protesters harassed two state delegations in St. Paul to attend the Republican National Convention Monday. Someone threw a rock through the window as delegates from Alabama rode their bus to the Xcel Energy Center, where RNC events took place. And masked protesters confronted and harassed the Connecticut delegation — several of them were spat upon, roughed up and doused with a mixture of water and bleach.
The liquid was "diluted bleach and salt". Pretty horrific, as was the attack on the Alabama delegation:
About 1 p.m., a rock was thrown through the windshield of a delegate bus carrying Alabama delegates to the X. It penetrated the windshield, and shattered glass on the bus driver, cutting him and sending glass on several delegates. One of those showered with glass was retired Alabama Supreme Court judge Terry Butts of Luverne, Alabama.
According to Butts, about 30 protesters swarmed the bus.
"They were dressed all in black, black pajamas, kind of a black hat and mask on, except for their eyes — a Ninja look," Butts said.
Quote of the day:
Another Alabama delegate, Randy McKinney, was also on the bus. He attributed the attack to "a couple dozen Ninja-wannabes, and I didn't see any taxpayers in the group."
More at Gateway Pundit, who reports Washington State's delegation was also attacked by protesters who threw cement bags and sandbags from an overpass onto the buses traveling down the interstate. The Everyday Republican has more on the attacks on Connecticut delegates.
