Man...some guys get all the luck.
I tried like hell to go to one of the "hot spot" embassies when I was an MSG. Instead, the worst mob we ever dealt with had more reporters than protesters...
Oh well, I wound up in a country where the women were plentiful and the beer was cheaper than water - can't complain I suppose.
Rioters -- many wearing balaclavas and scarves to hide their faces -- had attacked the U.S. embassy with sticks and metal bars after destroying two guard boxes outside.
They ripped metal grilles from windows and tore a handrail off the entrance to use as a battering ram and gain entry.
So in other words, they made about zero progress in actually entering the embassy...
