Rocks Thrown at President?s Limousine
Nixon was riding in a black bulletproof limousine with the top affixed and had the windows rolled down for most of the parade. As he passed the demonstrators at 12th Street, he waved to the crowd opposite the demonstrators from an open window while the windows facing the protestors were closed. However, all the windows on the car were closed as it moved toward the main body of demonstrators.
As the Presidential car approached 14th Street, a smoke bomb was tossed seconds before the car passed. A thrown missile felled a National Guardsman. Two cans with smoke coming out were thrown at the President?s car. One landed in front of the car while the other rolled underneath.
?The motorcade sped up as it neared the intersection, and I was surprised when it was still greeted by a barrage of rocks. The Secret Service must be given credit. I didn?t see a single rock strike the car as they deftly caught them or batted them away.?
A rock did hit the side of the car and a Secret Service agent was struck near the rear of the car. Another batted down a bottle. The official count was twelve hard objects and many softer ones such as tomatoes and tin foil.

Not since Nixon -- that POS -- may he rot in hell.
