This kind of stuff is bound to happen. When someone keeps putting themselves out there on the street, trying to attract attention to themselves, sooner or later they're bound to attract a few 'idiots'.

Almost anything a person does has some risk to it. I have my own personal agenda for everything I've been doing and I am very adamant about all this. I consider the risks I encounter acceptible compared to what I'm trying to accomplish. If picketing solo is stupid than so be it. As I've said before, I'm a renegade up here in San Francisco just doing my own thing. One thing I do know is that I REALLY need to keep satisfying my picketing urge right now, even if it has to be solo.

Unfortunately, I never know when the idiots are going to wander by so there is no way I can conciously avoid them. The sleazy part of town is just a block away so there is always the possibility that some nut case will drift by and zero in on me. Life is often unpredictable so I try to deal with each incident as best as I can.
