Wave of Attacks on Recruiters

Attacks against military recruiters and their offices are growing around the United States, spurred by anti-American anarchists who thrash the centers, assault and batter people, and intimidate those who want to serve their country.

Attackers throw rocks, chain themselves to doors, punch and kick, spray paint graffiti, break windows, yell, and generally vandalize recruiting centers across the nation in repeated attacks.

Code Pink, an anti-war group that gave more than $600,000 to terrorists’ families in Iraq, is calling for anti-military agitators to escalate attacks on U.S. Government offices where the military work with potential recruits on their futures. The group outlines ways for followers to terrorize recruiters, shut down recruiting stations and stop people from exercising the Constitutional rights to pursue their life’s goals.

Anti-war and anarchists groups have already attacked military recruiting centers in Washington, D.C., Berkeley, Calif.; Minneapolis, Minn.; Milwaukee, Wis.; Santa Monica, Calif.; Toledo, Ohio; Murfressboron, Tenn.; Pittsburgh, Penn.; Haverhill, Mass., and New York, N.Y. This is a partial list.
“Actions by these hateful groups should remind Americans that we have a well-defined enemy living here at home,” said MAF Chairman Melanie Morgan. “This is a danger to our homeland security, and the federal government must take actions to stop the violence. Patriots are standing up to the anarchists, but it is the government’s duty to ensure the safety of its citizens and to end the mayhem.”

The anarchists are heightening violence and feed off their mob hits. They use terrorist tactics to intimidate without leaving prosecutable evidence. Here is a piece linked to the recent vandalism of a south Minneapolis recruiting center, at which two 40-pound rocks were hurled through the windows.

“One of the most effective forms of industrial or military sabotage limits itself to damage that can never be thoroughly proven – or even proven at all – to be anything deliberate. It is like an invisible political movement; perhaps it isn’t there at all. If a bomb is wired to a car’s ignition, then obviously there is an enemy; if public building or a political headquarters is blown up, then there is a political enemy. But if an accident, or a series of accidents, occurs, if equipment merely fails to function, if it appears faulty, especially in a slow fashion, over a period of natural time, with numerous small failures and misfirings- then the victim, whether a person or a party or a country, can never marshal itself to defend itself.”

Though they pride themselves on being “anarchists,” these groups are well organized and disciplined in their attacks. Once an action begins, the fervor of destruction feeds on itself and others join in. The events are not unlike attacks from packs of rabid dogs.
In a recent attack on a Washington, D.C., recruiters’ office, a group called Funk the War broke into the office using guerilla tactics. They claim to have outnumbered peace officers while vandalizing the office until “it looked like a tornado had swept through the lobby,” as they said in their own words.

This is how they described their own actions:

After many previous protests had found the 14th st recruiter “closed” at 5PM, Funk the War found them open, and the door unlocked at nearer to 6Pm and promptly exploited the situation by demonstrating to them first hand how an occupying force behaves.

After a loud commotion inside while outnumbered cops watched, recruiters finally managed to get protesters to leave-but not before literature and full-body length cardboard displays in the street window area were destroyed. In addition, hundreds more “Funk the War” stickers were plastered all over just about everything that would take them. By the time everyone was out it looked like a tornado had swept through the lobby.

One recruiter tried to grab an activist but found himself overpowered by SDS’s superior strength and numbers and had no choice but to give up!

A post at the Website from “Anarchi “ chides those who didn’t participate in the mob attack:

“So for all of you naysayers: Where where you last night??? SDS went a trashed a recruiting station what did you do?
For SdS: Awesome action, I must say it got escalated and it was pretty rad, a bunch of students who actually give a shit about something going and doing what was right to the government or should I say taxpayer funded offices of child predators in army costumes or as some might know them military recruiters! I hope SdS does more stuff like this in the future or even better stuff.

”Hopefully those dumbass recruiters will get ready to leave, after a smashed window in ‘07 and a trashed inside in ‘08 (and hopefully many more trashings) If they don’t a nice friendly warning: Pack up your crap and leave and there will be no problems but if you stay know this people don’t like you they don’t want you in their communities and they will make sure you leave one way or another!”

The most infamous attacks have occurred in Berkeley, Calif., where Move America Forward and other patriots have pushed back. The Berkeley City Council instigated further actions at the Berkeley Marine recruiting station by issuing free parking permits and noise permits to Code Pink, and passing a resolution encouraging anti-war forces to close down the offices.

The Berkeley City Council refuses to apologize to the Marines and now faces millions of dollars of lost city revenue from nationwide boycotts pushed by powerful businesspeople. Pending legislation would also take away millions of taxpayer dollars from the city for its attack on the Marines. Move America Forward will not stop pressure until the city council rescinds all three of its anti-military resolutions and apologizes to the Marines.

It is past time for leaders in the Senate and House to demand an investigation into the nationwide epidemic of attacks on recruiting stations. U.S. Attorneys should prosecute the agitators. The Constitution provides that the federal government be able to raise an Army during wartime. The escalation in attacks is not only costing taxpayers money, but they could cripple the country’s ability to defend herself. If this isn’t treason, what is?

Yes, the problem is the not fighting back, and not holding those that commit treason and do violent protests and break the law accountable.

Like in Berkeley, the police telling people that they won't arrest military haters when they blatantly break the law

It's going to blow up in their faces soon.

Next week in Berkeley, code pink and other hate America groups are planning to protest 24/7 all next week at the Marine Requiting Office.

They have been encouraged by the city council and the police in the past, it will be interesting to see what happens next week in Berkeley

Yesterday the Berkeley police had two officers guarding the office.

Better late than never

If anti-war folk, which means people against war for those in Rio Linda or DUmmies, are for an end to violence, don’t they see the irony in resorting to violence to accomplish their goal? Shouldn’t anti-war activists actually be anti-war pacifists? Aren’t these the same breed that claims “Violence just brings about further violence”? What maroons....

It’s terrorism as well. These people should be thrown in jail for the rest of their lives. This goes WAAAYYY beyond the First Amendment!

The only difference is that now some city govt. entities support action against the military. It was bound to morph into violence. The first time any city moved against the military in any way, the feds should have come down hard and any aid whatsoever, coming from the Federal govt. should have stopped immediately.

These Code Pink and other terrorists’ actions speak louder than words. They aren’t for peace, but they are for using terrorism for achieving their polital goals. No doubt these outcasts will be voting for Clinton or Obama (if they’re even citizens and able to vote).

I doubt these “anarchists” actually want to abolish the state. Who would give them medical insurance?

In reality, they are their own worst enemies

The gov is so lax in being pc and letting them get away with so much, when the crack down comes it will be like kent state and the dem convention in the sixties.

Too bad, they are asking to be spanked, and spanked hard.

The thing is, the hippies and their liberal enablers still scream and holler about the four students the National Guard killed in '70, while cheering when Janet Reno fried a whole community of people fifteen years ago.

And I reiterate, these people are not anarchists. Murray Rothbard was an anarchist. These people want the government to assume control over every aspect of life.

Just a heads up ya’ll, protestors are going to try to shut down the Tacoma Mall Recruting Station in Tacoma Wa on the 15th of March. They will be there from 1200>1700. I intend to go early (1030-1100) to show my support for our Military Recruters. If we can get enough people, maybe we can keep these thugs from damaging the offices. See Ya there :)

I REALLY wish I lived near one of these protests.

I’d ask the Pinkos—who are you to tell these recruits what to do with their bodies?

Maybe a little "eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth" is in order.

The petition

We, the undersigned condemn the Berkeley City Council’s treasonous attack on US Marine Recruiters stationed in their city. We ask that Congress cut off funds from any and all municipal entity within the confines of the city of Berkeley, California, until such time as the city council withdraws it’s action.

The City Council has voted to tell the Marines their downtown recruiting station is not welcome and “if recruiters choose to stay, they do so as uninvited and unwelcome guests.”

The measure passed last week by a vote of 8-1.

The council also voted to explore enforcing a city anti-discrimination law, focusing on the military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy.

In a separate item, the council voted, also 8-1, to give the Marxist protest group Code Pink a parking space in front of the recruiting office once a week for six months and a free sound permit for protesting once a week.

It’s times like this when I wish we would model our police on the Chinese and deal with this and get a permanent solution.

Maybe we could conduct an officer exchange program.

Flotsam and jetsam. These idiots are deadwood. Just like Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s albatross. A curse that hangs around our necks.

These washed up faggot hippies don’t have enough honor to be a sandbag in the US Armed Forces. If the enemy ever makes it to our shores, i for one think they would make great sand bags.
