While there are some sincere, honest, honorable, decent opponents to the war in Iraq, it seems that they are often dwarfed by the asshats who garner all the attention. And as we approach the fifth anniversary of the beginning of the war, we can expect all sorts of sincere dipshittery.
Such as appears to be planned for Pittsburgh.
Here's their agenda (so to speak):
On Wednesday, March 19, POG will be holding a torch-lit march to a modern day castle of abominations--our local military recruiting station. If the station remains open, we intend to evict it and everything inside of it, occupy the location, and transform it into something useful for the community. We'll also be bringing a movable cage in which to confine military recruiters until they no longer pose a danger to our friends and neighbors.
Let's see, how many crimes are they planning on committing?
Marching with lit torches -- that's gotta be a fire hazard.
Seizure of private property.
Trespassing.
Vandalism.
Kidnapping.
Gee, that oughta keep the Pittsburgh cops and courts busy for a little while.
Of course, the morons are giving themselves an out:
Of course, the station may be closed and recruiters may flee or hide behind the police apparatus that enables the war to continue. That is often the case, and we've seen in the past the overwhelming resources the state directs against these anniversary events because of their importance as a symbol of dissent. We believe in acting effectively, in confronting the war, at times and places of our choosing. When the state brings the resources necessary to suppress direct action against the war, it makes sense to hold a symbolic protest, and we still consider that a success, as it exposes the reality that it is ultimately on the local level that our countries war policy will be decided.
You know what would be hysterically funny? If the cops decided to sit this one out, and a bunch of Freedom Riders or retired military showed up to defend the recruiting stations.
Even better -- the rally is declared as a "domestic insurrection" and the governor sent in the National Guard to keep the peace.
That'd never happen. Pennsylvania's governor, Ed Rendell, is a Democrat. So is Pittsburgh's mayor.
But boy, it's going to be fun to watch next week.

Funny how many democrats will back someone who ran when or before the going got tough. All of the WS crowd are phony soldiers or those with 'bad' discharges.

Obviously, their "out" is really their objective. They want to be arrested with a lot of fanfare which is why the severe threats and announcing their 'plan'. They probably expect to only spend the night in jail.
They should call their bluff. The police should sit this one out and after they caged the military personel, the police should move in for abduction, possibly kidnapping, and throw a felony at them. Won't seem so fun after that.

I think we've fully reached the point where the frog-in-boiling-water analogy has become apt. If you saw eco-goons spraying shaving cream on some cars at a dealership, would the frog jump out? Nope. Then they smashed a few SUV windshields. Oh those scamps! Then they started setting enormous, life threatening fires and destroying hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of property. If they had started there would the frog have jumped? Probably.
When old ladies were protesting at recruiting stations, it was 'cute'. The frog was happy. Then it got a little warmer and Code Pinko started with the 'blood'/paint. It got a little warmer but the frog was happy. Then they broke into a few offices, did some damage. It's uncomfortable, but would the frog jump at such heat? Nah. They're just expressing their first amendment rights. What if the leftists had started by setting off bombs at recruiting stations and threatening to assault (stop laughing at their hubris) recruiters? Well, if they had started that way the frog might've actually taken them seriously instead of bobbing lifeless to the surface the way he is now.

These cowardly pinheads are STARTing their "march" at 6:60 PM, so the likelyhood of the station being open is small. Nothing I would like better than to see a group of Marine volunteers stay late at the recruiting station, and kick some hippy @ss when they try to storm the place. Of course, as soon as that bunch of pantywaists sees the lights on, they will turn tail and run. I'm in Texas, but it would be worth the trip to see it. Will Zombie be there to record the festivities? I hope so.
