We were there to get arrested. We couldn’t get arrested because the police had pulled back, and was just allowing fellow citizens to go at each other. And with all the consequences that would follow there from.

The next day for example, of the 20 of us were standing, many of them clergy, we would have been crushed like cockroaches if it were not for the anarchists and antifascists.

The antifascists. And the crucial were the anarchists, because they saved our lives actually. We would have been completely crushed and I’ll never forget that.
