Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

I did not manage to stay awake for the Bears game. I arise at 5am or so most days, and I cried a bit inside when I saw how late, on a Saturday, the game was scheduled. But I did watch Diehard, and I think there is a lesson in there. Hans Gruber thought he had it all figured out, didn’t he?
