This can't be stressed enough. Although I was doing radio at the time, and not
shooting, I narrowly missedbeing hit in the head by bricks several years ago
when I covered a Klan/Aryan/Skinhead protest against the Martin Luther King
Holiday. I had the misfortune of looking too much like the demonstrators to the
crowd and looking too much like the crowd to the protestors. It got ugly and
press pass only gave me credibility/protection with the Police - and they
weren't
throwing bricks!
