<description>Monday at Bumbershoot was solid but offered few surprises. I would have loved to have been wowed by Blitzen Trapper and Feral Children, as they were my first-time hopefuls, but found myself unfortunately un-enthused by both their sets (Sorry Dave,...</description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>I was assaulted by a bumbershoot staff person yesterday.</p>

<p>I bought a poster at flatstock, and I left the festival to go put it in my car for safe keeping. I was walking on the sidewalk, they opened the fence to let in a van or something.</p>

<p>The fence swung open like, 2 feet in front of me, so I stepped to the curb and kept walking a dude in a staff shirt stepped in front of me and said, "Everybody stop" or something similar at this point, we were like a foot apart so I kept walking and<br />
he pushed me.</p>

<p>I stepped down with one foot on the street and I was past him at which point he grabbed me, forcibly and hard from behind by my hoodie and yanked and pulled me into the street.</p>

<p>My hoodie was unzipped if it was zipped I think he would have ripped it, and/or thrown me to the ground in the street<br />
instead I just stumbled and regained my balance.</p>

<p>I was shocked to be grabbed at all, let alone in such a forceful way. I immediately threw my hands up in the air and screamed, "I am on a public sidewalk, you are not a law enforcement officer!" repeatedly.</p>

<p>One of the other staff people said, "Let him go!" and he did finally.</p>

<p>I spun around, still with my hands in the air, and I said, "What are you doing? I am on a public sidewalk!"</p>

<p>He had rage in his eyes and said, "You are/were in in the street impeding traffic." I said, "YOU are NOT a law enforcement officer!"  And the only reason I was in the street was because that was the direction that I was forcibly throw by him.</p>

<p>He took two steps towards me, at which point other staff people stepped in and got him away<br />
