15 Magic Hours

A report from Phil Chinn on the port blockade at Olympia that stopped the weapons of murder from reaching Iraq for 15 hours of peace:

“The most vivid memory in my mind at the moment is huddling under a tarp, in a makeshift tent at 3:00 AM in the pouring rain. I remember being soaked to the bone, drinking hot tea with a few unfamiliar faces. We had constructed the tent out of a tarp and a barricade, which was blocking the street on two sides, with a small path for cars to get through. Trucks and Strikers could not make it through, and we even had a truck axle and several cement blocks ready to block off the entirety of the road. We had held the road for nearly 12 hours at that point, with another barricade at the main entrance to the port blocking off every path that military vehicles and equipment could be driven down. Somewhere, between the rain and the cold wind, was a sense of joy. We had turned back police from our barricades, and we were going to maintain them as long as we could. While in most other situations the chant ‘Whose port? Our port!’ would be little more than wishful thinking; for a while, it was true.” - Phil Chinn, “Port of Olympia, November 2007 - SDS News Bulletin

Christians know that “direct action gets the goods”, as Jesus showed so often and so convincingly. We can lobby and plead and vote, but in the end, the powers only respond when they suffer pain and inconvenience. May a whole new generation of activists arise from the ashes of indifference!

6. Directly confront systems of oppression, and respect the need for a diversity of tactics.

"respect the need for a diversity of tactics" means that violence is okay with them.

Sinister violence in the name of “peace.” If it weren’t so infuriating it would almost be funny.

I have not seen much TV coverage of the convention, or non convention, if you will, so I don’t know exactly how this is being covered. Somehow though I suspect these animals will be protected by the media. But can you imagine if right wing extremists went on a rampage at the DNC and engaged in physical violence against human beings?? I have a feeling the national outrage would have been very vocal.

My Mom is at the convention and the word is that the “bleach like substance” is urine.

“Protesters attacked Connecticut delegates...”

We need to keep taking attacks by leftist scum and never defend ourselves. Let them attack our homes, children and pets and stand by and do nothing. We should get on our knees and submit to beatings and whippings like dogs. Let us all grovel on the ground and submit to our masters. The Founding Fathers would approve.

Considering the antecedents of the collective contributors, any body fluids whatsoever would have to be considered a hazardous material.

(Yes, I know that fresh urine from a healthy human is technically sterile... there's just too many caveats with this lot of professional haters.)

"I’d be very interested in who posts BAIL for those scumbags."

The National Lawyers Guild

Folks, you can always spot the communist National Lawyers Guild representatives at these events by their lime green baseball caps.

"The anarchists apparently don't read beyond Marx."

Marx was too organized for the anarchists.

Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split, as a general thing.

Do you seriously think these thugs were anarchists? NO WAY. They’re just typical violent, hateful, thuggish Demonrats knowing they cannot be identified as such but it is obvious.
