By ANY Means Necessary?

More from the voices of tolerance. It seems a couple counter-protestors showed up at a pro-affirmative action rally in Lansing Saturday and were accosted by an angry mob. According to the Ann Arbor News, U of M student Dan Shuster and about nine others had to have a police escort after being accosted by the pro-affirmative action thugs.

"About 2,000 protesters rallied against Proposal 2 [which is on the November ballot and would effectively ban government imposed racial preferences in Michigan]. Shuster said neither he nor other counter-protesters tried to interfere with the rally or spoke to the protesters walking along the rally route. He said they held signs. One read: 'End the racial preferences,' he said. As the protesters passed by, Shuster said, some of them stopped to yell at his group. He said he recognized some of them from previous events as being affiliated with the pro-affirmative action group, The Coalition to Defend Affirmative Action & Integration and Fight for Equality by Any Means Necessary, or BAMN. 'The crowd was building up,' Shuster said. 'They were definitely getting unruly. They were not happy, to be mild about it.'"

How nice.
