I think this has been posted before.

I was there. I got hit in the butt by a bayonet (?) while being forced to get out of the car as they cleared the streets. As I got out I bent over to pick up the contents of my spilled pocketbook and that is when he hit me. I had a huge black and blue. I don't know if I was ever so scared in my live. We had to run as they cleared and we didn't know where to run to. They wouldn't let us drive away in the car. As we ran there were firecrackers going off everywhere, you didn't know where to step.

We had missed most of the rioting as we arrived late and didn't realize what was going on. We arrived as the National Guard was coming down the street and thought we could just wait in the car 'til they moved through. Oh no!!
