Protester Liz Rivera Goldstein flashes twin peace signs from cuffed hands as she is arrested by Jefferson County Sheriff’s Sgt. Andy Pernsteiner outside the gates of Naval Magazine Indian Island on Saturday.

Old hippies rarely age well.

"The community is far too close to this base to be safe."

Then move the community. Duh.

... and one spilled marinara sauce to symbolize blood ...

These idiots don’t realize that their “Peace at any price” thinking is going to get them killed.

[StormEye]

Feed her to the jihadis ... if they’ll take her.

As an aside …those of us old enough to remember the peace demonstrations of the Viet Nam era, the current crop of protests seems to be very weak. Back in the day, there would have been hundreds arrested, and, generally, a riot to finish off the day’s festivities.

This, to me, seems to be a positive sign.

The USS Ohio, which carries non-nuclear weapons, was the first nuclear-powered submarine to dock at Indian Island - the Navy's only munitions storage and transfer depot on the West Coast - this year.

Not necessarily. The USS Ohio was one of the SSBN's that was converted to a Special Warfare platform & the ship was redesignated SSGN, meaning she was stripped of her Trident D5 ballistic missiles and only carries cruise missiles. I'm sure the Navy will not confirm or deny the nature of the warheads on the cruise missiles.

I had the pleasure of seeing this boat commissioned while I was in subschool

I don’t think that there are any nuke-armed Tomahawks currently deployed anywhere. I think they were taken out of service.

Of course not. I'd bet you $100 cash they are all Gorons....

[unkus]

I love “Goron”. Probably so.

[DeaconBenjamin2]

Paul Newman’s marinara sauce, perchance?

[elcid1970]

Hey leftie,

HIT THE F***ING SALAD BAR!!!

[elcid1970]

“Feed her to the jihadis”

Hell, fifty of them could live a month off of that fatted carcass!

[Chode]

Body by McDonalds...

I'm pretty sure that you are correct about that. 'Course we can't allow the facts to confuse our liberal 'friends', can we?

[dighton]

“There’s no action. I have to wait around like everyone else. Can’t even get decent food. Right after I got here I ordered some spaghetti with marinara sauce and I got egg noodles and ketchup. I’m an average nobody. I get to live the rest of my life like a schnook.”

— Goodfellas.

While going through a "C" School at New London, I used to spend a lot of time down on the USS Croaker. It was awe inspiring to watch the Ohio taking form up at EB. It was a lot bigger than any of the original 41 for Freedom boats that I served on.
