A uniter not a divider?

Clashes at the Pensacola Civic Center between President Bush supporters and John Kerry hopefuls led to the arrests of four people Tuesday. All four were charged with affray.

Anti-Bush demonstrator Ryan Del Lewis, 27, of the 5400 block of Olive Road was arrested after reportedly kicking a Bush supporter in the buttocks and losing a short foot race with officers, Pensacola police said.

The man Lewis supposedly kicked, Nathan C. Hillman, 40, of the 2100 block of North Palafox Street, also was arrested. Police said Hillman, who attended the Bush rally, spit in Lewis' face after the two men began arguing.

The arrests occurred about 12:15 p.m. at the intersection of Alcaniz and Gregory streets where about 40 Bush protesters had gathered.

"We also had two women involved in an altercation who were arrested," police spokesman Chip Simmons said.


Really, isn't it about time that we got rid of the divisive George W. Bush?
