From a few minutes ago:
Now Melanie is talking on KSFO
The police are ignoring the situation, as code pink is in the permitted area of the Americans.
Morgan has called the Highway patrol to take control
The riot squad has showed up now.
People arriving all the time.
Live on KSFO
Is Melanie going to the meeting tonite?
She says yes
She was going to rest later, but now will be on the front lines all day
Will she be able to speak?
She plans to
The whole country is now aware of their despicable actions.
She is concerned they won’t let her speak at the meeting
Lee asks if she has bail money
Mel says yes, money, lawyer etc
She says, Hay Lee and Ossifer Vic can I count on you for 10 or 15 cents?
Berkeley police dept just watching code pink violating the law say that they should be ashamed says Lee Rogers.
Pull those federal highway funds!!!
Maybe they won’t have that fed money for the streets if they kick out the Heroes.
snicker...
I think they’re either trying to put everyone to sleep or just plain bore them to death.
Geeeeez, it’s been sleeting here for 45 minutes and the geniuses at the local tee vee station are just now issuing a “wintery weather alert”, LOL.
Hey Sweetie..
Gay guy wondering about ‘design plans’...lol
Ooh. This woman is such a bee-yotch.
Someone take the protestors some coffee — they’re hoping they’ll just go away!
I love the way that the lady from somewhere-else says “Pablo.”
Pablo as in Pablum
I just spoke with Syncro, there on site.
The Police have apparently put barricades up along the center of the street, with the Code Pink contingent across the street and up to the barriers, with Berkeley PD standing about 3 feet apart and batons out and face shields on the City Hall side of the street between the two groups.
A lot of noise but I think he said the police have their BACKS to the Code Pink facing the Americans. How odd... typically Law Enforcement knows that Americans are safe to be around. Odd.
He said one policeman had said, “We’re not allowed to separate people” when Code Pinkers had crossed the line but they seem quite firm in making sure the Pro-USA side doesn’t cross any lines.
While speaking with me, someone came along and was making everyone move further away from City Hall.
And it seemed clear to Syncro that the City Council/Mayor wanted to fight a battle of attrition, pushing the key item on the agenda WAY down the list, to help shrink the size of the protest group and tire the rest down. Standard parliamentary procedure when you have the gavel and an issue you don’t want discussed.
// END of Syncro interviewette...
WARNING: MINI-RANT —
THE QUESTION IS whether that gavel is in the hand of someone who has standing as a sworn city official on American soil. Here are my two acid tests:
1.
I (insert name) hereby declare on oath that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by law; that I will perform non-combatant service in the armed forces of the United States when required by law; that I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by law; and that I will take this obligation freely and without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion. So help me God.
2.
Recite the Pledge of Allegiance.
// Rant OFF
Dodging potholes, eh? I know where they can find some fill for them...
Exactly!
Hiya Justa, glad you’re here. :)
Well, I heard ‘em. They woke up for a moment! lol
There are so many behind them that cannot be there physically.
But they’re not... and neither am I.
Cell antenna item up next
7 minutes for people to speak on the cell tower matter now. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Hey there! You’re still awake? ;*)
