| According to the St. Paul Joint Information Center, the liquid was shown to be diluted bleach and salt. About 1 p.m., a rock was thrown through the windshield of a delegate bus carrying Alabama delegates to the Xcel center. It penetrated the windshield, and shattered glass on the bus driver, cutting him and sending glass on several delegates. One of those showered with glass was retired Alabama Supreme Court Justice Terry Butts. “They were dressed all in black, black pajamas, kind of a black hat and mask on, except for their eyes — a Ninja look,” Butts said. He said about 30 protesters swarmed the bus. The area was supposed to be secured, he said, “but this was a breech in security, obviously.” Police intercepted the protesters, and the protesters swarmed the police. At that point, one of the protesters threw a very large rock, according to Butts. “I happened to be sitting in the front seat right behind the bus driver, and it literally hit eye level between the bus driver and myself,” he said. Another Alabama delegate, Randy McKinney, was also on the bus. He attributed the attack to “a couple dozen Ninja-wannabes, and I didn't see any taxpayers in the group.” |
