This should be easy for them. Whenever people want to demonstrate like that, make the put up a hefty deposit. Like $1 million.

Tacoma should have hired Rolling Thunder or some other group like that. They’d have cleared the hippies out for a lot less than 500 large.

The city plans to ask the Port of Tacoma and the military to cover some of the costs. Unreal.

A very effective strategy by the socialists/communists to have governments collapse financially in order to destroy the U.S.

Every American has a piece of this bill, since it’s likely the military will pay it (apparently, there is precedent). A few locals are on the case.

What’s the problem? Why the liberals of Tacoma wouldn’t mind paying more taxes for protest priveleges? When they raise a little hell why just raise a little more taxes from the socialist libs...
‘taking $$ away for the common good’....no problema.....

I live right in the area. Tacoma is actually pretty conservative. We are in Pierce County. Generally speaking the whole state is fairly conservative, and if it wasnt for King County (Seattle), we’d be a red state. If you look at county voting, the same goes for Oregon...
I live right by Fort Lewis and McChord AFB. Love it here!
It’s a testament to the American Soldier’s love of freedom, that they don’t beat these people silly as they protest right by their main gates.

When I first read the article earlier, my first reaction is let the protestors pay. Obtain the info via arrest records, tax records, etc.

And that is just the cost. The protesters are for sure going to follow the WTO rioters lead and sue the city, the police, and the Army for violating their rights.

Charge International ANSWER.
If they don’t pay up, take Brian Becker to court and impoverish him.

The military should reply: "How bout we close McChord and Ft. Lewis instead?"The city would STFU immediately.

Pierce County voted for Clinton, Gore, and Kerry. Tacomans may be blue collar Dems, but they are Dems nonethesame. Love Bob’s Java Jive however.
