On Monday, I blogged about the human kiddie shields being used by anti-war thugs in Olympia to block military shipments. This afternoon, an Olympia reader e-mailed some new, exclusive photos and a first-hand report of the mother’s reckless behavior. First, the photos:
The reader, B., works at the Port of Olympia. Here’s what he witnessed:
I work at the port, and have observed some truly mind boggling events unfold, but the most astonishing was the use of children as human shields. The attached pictures were taken on 11/9/07; the night military equipment was first blocked from leaving the port. The Olympia Police Department essentially abandoned any effort to remove the protesters out of fear that a child would be harmed in their efforts to enforce the law. The mother of these children apparently had no such concern.
After the military convoy was forced to retreat, a victory celebration ensued, with chanting dancing, etc. I was horrified to watch as the woman in the attached photograph, distracted by events, allowed her infant to fall from her lap and land, face first on the pavement. The second photo shows her retrieving the crying baby as her other two children, dressed as terrorists look on.
This situation, and another two days later, when dozens of college aged girls were arrayed in rows with arms linked to block the road, showed a deliberate effort to use the same tactics as the terrorist savages who manipulate us, knowing that decent people cannot abide putting innocents in harm’s way. And, while the police were dragging the females away, under the glare of the media’s cameras, the males were establishing rolling blockades; throwing rocks at police and military vehicles; breaking windows, etc.
The whole event had the flavor of a huge mob of children playing some updated version of “Cowboys and Indians” — with live ammo.
He passes along one more item, giving you a glimpse at the moonbattery at left-wing Evergreen State College, which is coddling the thugs obstructing military shipments. B. writes, “This state-funded institution, once a Liberal Arts College, has been subverted to the extent that it has become a regional center for the promotion of anti-social behavior of every imaginable variety. The faculty and facilities of TESC have been pivotal in encouraging the lawlessness overtaking the streets of Olympia. Witness the astonishing e-mail below, inviting rock-throwing thugs to a “therapeutic debriefing” to help them “process traumatic experiences”. State funded!:”

Some of these people most certainly do need mental health counseling. Just not the kind Evergreen State College is giving them…
I called their media relations yesterday to indicate I was writing a story. I wanted to know if any professors were telling students to join the protest, a protest which is a felony and subject to up to 30 years in prison.
These “mothers” should be hauled away and charged for child endangerment.
I despise Hippies .
Doug , I think those jail sentences only apply to Conservatives my FRiend .
We sure have gotten our share of national media attention lately but for all the wrong reasons. It’s shameful and embarrassing.
Oops. They came through here just fine, but because I’d already previewed the photos, I guess.
I clicked the link and saw the pictures - shameful.
I think I watched that debriefing session on You Tube this afternoon.
Where are Chavez’es motorcycle thugs when you need them?
It was “for the children.”
Doesn’t the kid in the first pic know that Red diapers go on the other end???
My God, what a horrible thing to do to her baby- and her other children. What a disgusting “person”.
How much do you want to bet this single “mother” (just a guess, but it’s most likely) is on welfare as well, and having her Evergreen collage courses (no doubt stupid, useless courses that will never lead to a job) paid for by a state program designed to get these professional welfare scammer’s off welfare? Her baby and kids are probably in daycare all day, paid for by the tax payer as well so this single “mother” can “learn” Marxist activism at Evergreen.
Plus, look at what she gave this poor baby to chew on... a piece of beef jerky!! Those spices will do wonders to ease teething pains....
This “mother” needs several good slaps upside the head.
Same here. Cannot view the photos.

I couldn’t see them either.
I agree with you. Souns like the "mother" would rather protest then be a parent IMHO.
