I paid about $25,000 for my Tacoma.

[RC2]

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

[rogue yam]

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.

[Cicero]

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

[Man50D]

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

[ronnie raygun]

Good I hope the city goes bankrupt, Bunch of Unamerican scum!

[IslandJeff]

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.

[LibKill]

Ain't life just grand in effin' hippie-land.

We need to go back to the days of the riot act.

[tflabo]

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.....

NOOOOOO! BILL THE PROTESTORS! IN THE FUTURE MAKE THEM PUT UP $1 million in bond money to get the permit.

[bannie]

Why bill the military?

[NavyCanDo]

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.

[Uncle Miltie]

Charge International ANSWER.

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

[Psycho_Bunny]

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

The city would STFU immediately.

[dfwgator]

Send the bill to George Soros.
