Posted on 11/14/2007 6:02:56 PM PST by SandRat
On November 18, in solidarity with the School of the Americas Watch vigil and protest at Ft. Benning Georgia, hundreds of people from around the country will gather at Fort Huachuca to continue the nonviolent witness against U.S. policy sanctioning torture.
These are the supporters and followers of--
Fr. Louis Vitale, OFM, (75) and Fr. Stephen Kelly, SJ (54) were sentenced on Wednesday, October 17 to five months in prison for attempting to deliver a letter to then-commander Major General Barbara Fast at Fort Huachuca, Arizona, denouncing torture and the Military Commissions Act of 2006. October 17th is the first anniversary of the signing of the Military Commissions Act.
TOPICS: Activism/Chapters; Foreign Affairs; US: Arizona
KEYWORDS: defend; huachuca; protests; torture
The Freak-A-Zoids usually arrive across from the Main Gate of Fort Hauachuca at about noon.

We’ve had a traffic and force protection warning about this.
If I could weasel out of work I’d be there.
I get a minor dose of this nonsense every couple of weeks. My Wife likes going to Bisbee. I like inflicting cognitave dissonance on the dirty hippies that want to water the illegals that are destroying the San Pedro river valley.

Let the protesters in, but don’t let them out again.

People who use the word “solidarity” are generally Marxist.

Just got word that the Main Gate to post will be closed on Sunday from 0600 to 2000 hours and that all access will be rerouted to the East Gate because of the Freak-A-Zoids annual protest.

I have been in contact with some locals here and we do plan to be there to counter protest. The Local Republican Party has stated they will try to get a good turnout to counter protest on Sunday. Everybody come on down last year we were slightly outnumbered. I would like to reverse that this year.

Troop supporters are meeting here in Tucson at Freedom Park parking lot (Northwest corner of Craycroft and Golf Links) at 8 a.m. to carpool and drive down together.

I wasn't there but my sources tell me about 80 pro-Americans and 150 moonbats. Police kept the two sides separated but let moonbats mingle into the Pro-Americans until a Protest Warrior with a bullhorn embarrassed a moonbatty cop into enforcing the permitted areas.
Moonbat husband had patriotic wife on pro-American side, yelled at her.
A large group of motorcyclists kept going by and revving their engines, causing moonbat speechifying to be disjointed and broken. (even more than usual.)

Sierra Vista Herald story.
I imagine Sandrat will give an AAR in another post.

I was there for about 2 hours and saw/contributed to the FReeping of the Moonbats.
Saw lots of Elect KOO-Sin-Itch signs too.
The motly crew of moonbats were predominately left overs from the ‘60s Anti-Vietnam War Crowd.
