And I graduated in 1980 at age 22.

In 1982, I'm age 24.

I had developed contacts with different people.

I knew where some of these groups were, etc.

I found out about a demonstration, an unpublicized demonstration by the American Nazi Party that was going to take place in front of the White House.

There is a park right across the street from the White House called Lafayette Park.

24-7, 365 days a year, there is somebody in that park protesting something.

Nuclear weapons, the environment, abortion, you name it, they're there all the time.

And they face the White House with their billboards and whatever.

So I found out the American Nazi Party was going to have a silent, unpublicized demonstration, which means nobody knows about it, not even the police, right?

So I'm going to go down there and see them.

Now, back then, you could drive up and down the 1600 block of Pennsylvania Avenue, which is where the White House sits.

And I only lived about 30, 40 minutes from there, you know, 15 minutes from D.C.

on a non-rush hour day.

So I go down there early.

They're going to be there at 12 noon.

I park my car at Caddy Corner to the White House.

I wait.

Here comes this van.

About 13 to 15 of these Nazis get out, right?
