Thanks Ellis and Toby for great stories. Diana, I had an experience like your's under different circumstances - I was holding a banner as part of a Code Pink action at an event and someone took umbrage and tried to snatch the banner from me. Without thinking about it, I dropped center and relaxed my grip - the grabber went staggering backwards , losing his grip on the banner, which I simply reclosed my grip on and stood there smiling :-)
