If those ‘things’ could be deported, the problem is no other nation would take them.

Have I met you guys? I haven’t been to a rally in awhile, but it would be great to hook up with you 2 one of these days. Could you FReepmail me with info when something like this comes up again? I’m in Graham. =)

Sure - We don’t get out all that much, it was a spur of the moment decision to get involved yesterday. But if we know something’s coming we’ll let you know!

Did you do the descriptions on the pictures?

Throw every last one of the unwashed bolshie troublemakers the hell out of the USA. Send them to Sudan, North Korea, Libya, or other hell hole on a one way ticket. We don’t need or want their kind defiling the USA!

What an ugly weekend down there in Olympia. It’s times like this I wish I pursued a different career path and became a Police Officer. Then again I don’t know if I could show as much restraint as these fine men and women in blue are showing.

Might be an appropriate day to start “Operation What were you thinking?”

Of course the port commissioners are probably getting ready to tee off right about now...Oops, I forgot I’m 2 hours ahead and 50 pts. higher in I.Q. than them thar doofuses!

I believe the whole mess belongs right on their doorsteps...

The unwashed masses you guys in Olympia had to face...Well, I’m sorry...They do not know what they do...

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn’t impeding the movements of military personnel and materials a Federal offense???

And that in the active impedance of those materials, Deadly Force is authorized???

Other than the obvious stoopidity of sitting in front of a loaded semi-tractor trailer, it seems to me a lengthy prison sentence is in order...

Git on it Olympia!!!

I believe the whole mess belongs right on their doorsteps...

Not knowing the history of protests at the port, you could be right. Telford's capitulation, correspondence, deference to the peace activists hierarchy certainly appears counter-productive on the surface.

[M. Espinola]

I may have had something to do with the editing :)

[stevie_d_64]

Then the port commissioner’s need to come clean on this...I’m willing to back off (slightly), if it appears the media spun this to make them (port commissioners) look complicit in informing the anti-war protesters of ships movement and materials transfer...

In any event the entire body of activists that were sitting in front of the transports carrying military hardware, needs to be arrested and charged on the Federal side of interfering with the movement of that material to the fullest extent of the law...

[M. Espinola]

Rolling back in time: Think of these disgusting fifth columnists pulling their same despicable stunts, for instance - during the first half of 1942, when the Axis powers were gaining far too many alarming victories.

This seditious element should forfeit their American passports, since after all they despise the county through their appalling public displays of open support for America's enemies, and of course they pay their own airfare to depart forever, thus cleaning up the nation.

Just great. This loon is part of my family line somewhere. I just hope we are VERY distant cousins.

[M. Espinola]

You have brought up excellent points which are very valid.

We are at war against an Islamo-Nazi enemy determined to exterminate US as a people and as a nation. With the treasonous sellouts depicted in the photos, disrupting the flow required military equipment for our troops combating the enemy overseas, each one of them should be charged as enemy agents.

[stevie_d_64]

Here’s a spin for ya...

They have every right to voice an opinion against everything they disagree with...

But they do not have the authority, nor the position to disrupt the movement of materials...

That in the least is sabotage/espionage and should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law...

Why they have not been charge with that is beyond me...The Feds do not seem interested in pressing the issue for some reason...

If they fear additional or wider acts of treason, then they need to prepare for it...Thinking its not going to get any worse if they do not charge these mis-guided smelly people for what they are doing, is not the answer...

Thanks for the link. My note to the commissioner:

Mr. Telford,

Man I would not want to be in your shoes right now! Citizens of Washington are outraged at the criminal behavior of the so-called “protesters” at the Port of Olympia. Video of their outrageous acts is being broadcast nationally to the detriment of our reputations.

Now we discover that you gave advance information of the Brittin’s arrival to leaders of these anti-American groups. What were you thinking?!

Hopefully you recognize that the effects of the violence, the damage, and the stain our reputations rests squarely on your shoulders (because it does!).

Way to go!

Stevie

[stevie_d_64]

Need to find out who the Federal DA is in that area and ask as to why they are taking NO legal action against this sabotage/espionage and disruption in the movement of war materials...

I’d love to hear their answer on this one...

Will need to post it here for the record...

Hey, that didn't take long to get a response! From Mr. Telford:

Thanks for your input and the opportunity to clear up something.

When I met with TJ Johnson, he already knew when the ship was scheduled to arrive- hence everybody else did. He said that the City Manager had advised City Council members. I have to assume that he got it from the police chief due to the necessary pre-planning discussions.
Also, there are apparent leaks by Longshoreman. Everybody who was being lined up to work the cargo knew. I was told about the ships pending arrival by a friend who is the grandparent of a local Longshoreman. (I has been reported to me that one from Tacoma gained access to the port with his credentials and was discovered after acting suspiciously. He is an Evergreen student. I was told he was arrested. But probably not. Probably escorted off the site.)
I understand that the Pilotage system in the Sound knows when ships are on their way.
So, lot's of people knew. In reality, it doesn't really matter since a giant ship coming down the bay is impossible to not notice.

Nice way to shirk your responsibility there telford!

Shouldn’t these people be out committing suicide?

If they don’t want to live, they should just “move on.”
