On Wednesday, March 19, POG will be holding a torch-lit march to a modern day castle of abominations—our local military recruiting station. If the station remains open, we intend to evict it and everything inside of it, occupy the location, and transform it into something useful for the community. We'll also be bringing a movable cage in which to confine military recruiters until they no longer pose a danger to our friends and neighbors. Of course, the station may be closed and recruiters may flee or hide behind the police apparatus that enables the war to continue. That is often the case, and we've seen in the past the overwhelming resources the state directs against these anniversary events because of their importance as a symbol of dissent. We believe in acting effectively, in confronting the war, at times and places of our choosing. When the state brings the resources necessary to suppress direct action against the war, it makes sense to hold a symbolic protest, and we still consider that a success, as it exposes the reality that it is ultimately on the local level that our countries war policy will be decided.
Looks like more material for Michelle Malkin.

Not until there’s a sufficient “whammy” to stop it.
Ridicule doesn’t seem to work on these folks.
The military should allow this to happen and instruct the recruiters to not resist other than a loud and protesting statement that they do not want to go into the cage. Perhaps some minor physical resistance but allow themselves to be put into the cage.
Then, from their pockets, call the FBI and notify the FBI that a kidnapping of a Federal Officer is in progress. Arrest, charge and prosecute all involved under federal law.
A good way to transport them to the dump.
Time for Pittsburgh Patriots to organize to support the Military Recruiters.
I promise to wait untill they get some patriotism first.
Idiots. I would love to see the Marines show up with a company of riflemen. We’ll see how effective their little protest is in face of an unmoveable force.
Peaceably assemble and exercise all the First Amendment rights you want, but if you trash the recruiting station and cage the recruiters, things will be a bit more serious.
Let’s see:
*Felonious trespass: felony (state, possibly federal)
*Destruction of federal government property: felony (federal)
*Assaulting a federal officer in the performance of their duties: felony (federal)
*Unlawful detention: felony (federal and state)
*Kidnapping: felony (federal and state)
Wonder if the FBI will be around when this thing goes down.
This is one step closer to outright insurrection.
Forget calling the FBI. Just simplify things and bring guns.
A night or two wrapped in the loving arms of Bubba might be just the ticket.
A “torch-lit march”... you mean a MOB???
Geesh, when will these people get a clue???
They might want to check how Berkely weathered this sort of junk.
With the high intelligence the lefties are known for, they announce to the world the date and place they intend to commit a federal crime.
While I understand and appreciate the sentiment, involving the FBI puts the whole organization at risk. Even those at the top that conspired to commit the kidnapping. This means you can go after those that funded the organization, etc.
Besides, 5+ years in the federal pen for kidnapping a federal officer would be a very good example to set.
So 16 chronically unemployed/under-employed unwashed whackos will show up and wander around in a fog of pot smoke.
BFD. The best treatment for them is mokusatsu.
8 words for the recruiters:
Lock and load.
Aim.
Fire.
repeat as needed.

Oooo... GOOD IDEA! I would also let them “destroy” the station and charge them all with various and sundry offenses - breaking and entering, robbery, destruction of federal property, etc... etc... Of course, they will then claim they were “set-up”, however, if the cops just used video-cameras then there wouldn’t be much they could say in their defense. We already know they wouldn’t be able to control themselves unless the police are out in force...
