Police arrested 49-year-old Keith Donald Salvatore of Rocklin (Placer County) for allegedly brandishing a knife. Salvatore told police he had drawn the knife in self-defense after anti-war protesters wrapped him in a pink banner, said Sgt. Mary Kusmiss, a police spokeswoman.
A Code Pink activist from San Ramon said the man threatened to kill her, Kumiss said.
But hold on.
About 1 p.m., a man (Salvatore) supporting the Marines' presence in Berkeley
ventured into the encampment of anti-war group Code Pink and drew a knife.

I think that sums up the mentality of the war supporters right there.
