About 150 people -- those opposed to the Iraq War and those supporting it -- gathered noisily outside a Tacoma Mall office building on Saturday.

A group known as World Can't Wait had organized an anti-war protest to mark the coming fifth anniversary of the Iraq War. But long before their protest was scheduled to begin, counter-protesters arrived.

The counter-protesters surrounded an office building that houses military recruiting offices, which anti-war protesters had said they planned to "shut down." They shouted "God bless our troops" and waved American flags.

“Evergreen? Is that the toilet where they invited cop killer Mumia to be commencement speaker? Shows where their values are.”

Yep, and the school attended by that girl who was killed by the bulldozer while protesting in Israel.

Yea, many of us veterans warned them. One said he would lose $200 a month pay if caught, but he said he didn’t care.

Kind of a time warp thing and very weird.

As a new bride arriving at a duty station with my husband, I never imagined I would drive back through that same gate with my husband many years later to visit my son.

God bless the counter-protesters. good job. Unfortunately these moonbats don’t appreciate or understand freedom and, instead, act like horrible spoiled children.
glad you were there to face them down!

Best read of the day!...with all the biased media support for the left wing, I’m glad to see support and overwhelming numbers come out to choke off the loony left and their message of treason!

When he became ill and went away, I designed, and Mia T made it for me. I couldn’t stand the thought of losing him.

He stood in front of me, to help me protect my family. He was the embodiment of Semper Fi to keep the left from getting away with another Winter Soldier, unanswered.

"But long before their protest was scheduled to begin, counter-protesters arrived..."

Counter protest is the only thing that is going to stop these anti-american scumbags.

I sure miss that guy.

I never had the privilege of meeting him in person, but I had read so many of his posts that I felt like I new him. I have also lived with similar health issues, but so far I’m lucky and still hanging in there.

God bless you Tonk.....we miss you.
