Good advice, NavyCanDo. I hope many people follow it.
(I’m on the other side of the continent.)

Hard to imagine the authorities asking our military familes to stay away from a mall that should be open and safe for everyone just because people are going to protest the recruiters. Military money is green like the rest of the money people use. How dare they ask them to stay away? This is a free country and people have died for that freedom. What is wrong with the authorities. Can’t they handle the crowd? The military families have to stay away??? Mothers, Fathers, little children, teenagers, brothers and sisters, babies? This is insane!
Thanx for the post.I’ll be with you in spirit.What is so ironic about these protestors is the fact that they have the freedom to protest because our military ensures that freedom.They just don’t get it.At some level there is a cognitive disconnect.I’m not a psychologist but imho a lot(most?)of these folks are mentally defective.
Give 'em hell.
It’s the military authorities that are asking them to stay away, not the police.
Oh, guess I should have read that more thoroughly. Thanks for the correction. :)
Remember that the Tacoma protesters are some of the most violent in the country, and are probably trying to attract local teenagers and anarchists to use as cannon fodder in violent attacks.
So be on your guard if you are there. These protesters intend for there to be violence, and want to cause injury and destruction, and they don’t particularly care to who or what, as long as it isn’t to the instigators themselves.
If there are older people there who can’t really defend themselves, watch out for them, as the villains would want to attack them first.
So now military people and their families can’t go shopping? What a crock!
It is so racist of these well off white women to presume to protect minorities from enlisting.
Sounds like a great destination for a PGR ride.
The FBI should be watching and if anyone is prevented from entering the recruiting station the entire lot of protestors should be arrested and face federal criminal charges for blocking access to a fedreal facility.
I am very tired of the hands off approach that these scumbags have been given thus far.
That was done when I was at Wichita Falls, Texas for training.
There had been a lot of problems with the local civilian population.
After the town was flooded with two dollar bills, the base commander got on the media and informed locals that if treatment of GIs didn't immediately improve, we would all be restricted to base.
It was amazing how attitudes changed!
“It’s the military authorities that are asking them to stay away, not the police.”
And that’s why the military is losing this social battle.
The slink away!
They have nothing to be ashamed of and should stand tall and face their enemy.
I have to work today but I am going to try to go.

Folks that are fussing at the Military for waring families should keep in mind that young families have young children. Unlike the left many people try to keep little ones away from protests.
There’s a difference between “slinking away” and behaving in a prudent manner.
I’ll be there, with my newly unwrapped Marine Corps flag. I have no small children to protect, so the hippies are welcome to take their best shot.
But... the protest lady said on the news this morning that they're peaceful little lambs! You mean she lied?!
