Hippies hate metal music. Just have the Marines crank up it up like they did in Panama vs. Noriega since the City Council passed a waiver on the noise abatement statute. Beat them at their own game.

Hey-hey, ho-ho, the Marines in Berkeley have got to go.
That's the message from the Berkeley City Council, which voted 6-3 Tuesday night to tell the U.S. Marines that its Shattuck Avenue recruiting station "is not welcome in the city, and if recruiters choose to stay, they do so as uninvited and unwelcome intruders."
In addition, the council voted to explore enforcing its law prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation against the Marines because of the military's don't ask, don't tell policy. And it officially encouraged the women's peace group Code Pink to impede the work of the Marines in the city by protesting in front of the station.
In a separate item, the council voted 8-1 to give Code Pink a designated parking space in front of the recruiting station once a week for six months and a free sound permit for protesting once a week from noon to 4 p.m.
Councilman Gordon Wozniak opposed both items.
The Marines have been in Berkeley for a little more than a year, having moved from Alameda in December of 2006. For about the past four months, Code Pink has been protesting in front of the station.
"I believe in the Code Pink cause. The Marines don't belong here, they shouldn't have come here, and they should leave," said Berkeley Mayor Tom Bates after votes were cast.

Then we could declare war citing the precedent of the civil war and send in ... the marines.

Gee, imagine my surprise at the picture of the lib nuts who chained themselves to the recruiter door. A man with long gray hair and a pony tail. Will the 60’s hippies NEVER go away????? I’d be willing to bet this idiot has never done a real day’s work in his entire life other than finding some way to live off the taxpayers.
With bodies laying in the streets....that my friend is the only thing those idiots would understand.
