This is an Anti-Racist that I encountered during the protest. A White pride supporter assaulted him and I was attempting to photograph his blood. He took a fingertip wipe of his blood and wiped it on my face.

I am not sure what his reasoning was with that. He obviously wanted to be photographed- causing a scene in public- so I wonder why he felt compelled to wipe it on me. If anybody know the answer to that- send me an Email Me. Contact@BrettGundlock.com

I did this series today at the Bush lunch-in at the Telus Convention Centre. 1,500 people showed up to have lunch with the past president and many protestors showed up to speak out against his actions as a former President.
