I wouldn’t get in front of a Stryker. But they might.

Bjornstad said that blocking the vehicles on a public roadway is illegal, and anyone doing so is subject to arrest.

Evergreen State was St. Pancakes’ alma mater. Anyone waving banners yelling “For Corrie!”?

Some of these anarchists are well known. Some just need to start disappearing and the problem will go away.

“Anti-war protests have returned to the Port of Olympia with the unloading of a military ship bearing Army gear...”

Let’s fix the lead so it’s more accurate:

America-hating Democrat protestors have returned to the Port of Olympia with the unloading of a military ship bearing Army gear...

[HairOfTheDog]

OK - here's our report from the Sport at the Port :~) Hubby and I went down there today to make an appearance for the good guys...

Latest Olympian Coverage... Look for us in the gallery later, I think the Olympian dude filmed us. At least 12 arrested as protests move to downtown, I-5 entrance

Didn't take us long to find the action... look for the cops... :~)

Cops are lining the street... The port entrance is to the left... We just parked here awhile and watched what was going on.

Lovely members of the other side... Olympia has an eclectic mix of protesters... the black clad militant anarchist types...

And the hippies...

I sortof wonder how these two groups even get along... it makes for an interesting group dynamic. "What's our theme song... The Clash or John Lennon?"

So what would happen here is that for a long time nothing would happen, and then a convoy of empty trucks came through... these are, in part, the guys we saw at the truck stop having breakfast.

And then for awhile nothing would happen.

Eventually the corner where those protesters (above) are standing cleared out and some left, I guess to go up to block the freeway... and the rest, either by cop or by choice, moved across the street from where they are now to the opposite corner.

So we moved over there... behind the cops :~) Here's me in the truck...

We were joined by some others... The chick in this truck was really gung ho...

So instead of the protesters, we lined the exit to the port... Here's ecurbh helping to put flags up. The guy in the orange is with the Port, and thanked ecurbh and us for coming out in support.

Cop petting Gidget during a down time... :~) I love the boots. :~)

Convoys coming through...

One guy trying to sit in the street.

Cop on right keeping him out of the street by assuming a calm assertive stance. If he moves... the cop on the right just has to say Psssst! ;~)

So there's our day...Then my camera battery died! :~0 Several other supporters and lots of flags showed up... we sat through another convoy, but then had to leave. By then it was in good hands... :~)

The place most Americans protest is inside a voting booth. Most of these “protesters” are probably not even registered. They usually say voting is useless because the system is corrupt. If we had any other system these “protesters” would be in a forced labor camp or a mass grave.

[Lockbar]

It should all be taken care of like that idiot up there 15 years ago who tried to block the US military supply train by laying on the tracks. He got both his legs cut off. The same should happen to these freaks. I have ZERO mercy or tolerance.

[stevie_d_64]

Lets start with this friggin' idiot:


Last week, Port Commission President Paul Telford contacted two peace activists, City Council member TJ Johnson and Lawrence Mosqueda, a professor at The Evergreen State College, to inform them of the impending arrival of the Brittin and to seek their aid in avoiding trouble this time.


A private security firm has been hired, Telford added.

Blackwater??? Nahhh, not this guys speed...But it's wishful thinking on my part I suppose...

"While we know that there are strong feelings in our community about the war in Iraq, we hope any demonstrations while the vessel or cargo are at the port will continue the spirit of the homecoming (for the soldiers) and be peaceful," Telford said in a news release.

No shat shirlock??? youbee a genius!!!

Maybe next time...If you're still in that job...You'll think...Uhhhh, sorry, didn't mean to imply you have any amount of intelligence...

[submarinerswife]

Why the hell can’t they shoot these hippie wanna be’s and has beens? Step a toe in the way and POP.

Since the hippie radicals smelled horrific, Olympia Police officers pepper sprayed the anti-American hippie protesters who were lined up at the Port of Olympia, Saturday morning, Nov. 10, 2007, in Olympia, Wash.

Domestic communist insurrectionists rather upset after Police pepper spray them while they tried to block support for our troops combating the Islamic enemy in Iraq, by way of the intersection of 4th and Plum Saturday afternoon, November 10, 2007.

Poster boy: Al-Qaida'S Useful Leftist Idiot of the week -- standing on the fourth Ave. bridge Gus Kroll joins in a Monday protest aimed at the arrival of the military cargo ship, the USNS Brittin, seen in the background docked at the Port of Olympia.

Time for your bi-monthly bath Mr. Hippie.

A frustrated truck driver who declined to give his name throws his hands in the air in disgust after radical protesters denied his request to move out of the road so a military shipment could exit the Port of Olympia on Friday evening. No further convoys were planned for the evening because police didn't have the resources at the port entrance to deal with protesters. (Toni L. Bailey/The Olympian)

The USNS Brittin is guided into the dock by tugboats at the Port of Olympia today to discharge a cargo of military equipment returning from Iraq.

[Grampa Dave]

Nothing really new here.

Having lived through the treason on the streets by Fonda, Kerry, Kennedy and other hate America Hatriotics in the late 1960’s and early 70’s, this is not new.

I believe that wearing a mask now during these events is considered an act of terrorism in most cities, and is a reason for an arrest.

If we had tried Fonda, Kerry, Kennedy and others for treason when they behaved like this, found them guilty and hung them in the Senate Rotunda and left to rot, the world would be a better and safer place.

[Proud2BeRight]

They look like the typical liberal parasite children who live off mom and dad’s money. All they have to do all day is attend liberal indoctrination classes, drink beer or smoke dope and publicly express their stupidity.

[NavyCanDo]

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.

"As long as the war in Iraq is going on, it's all part of the revolving door," said Andrew Yankey... "They're just shipping it in so they can ship it back out,"...

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

Shouldn’t these people be out committing suicide?

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