You would think these are from Gaza. They are from Berkley.

BERKELEY — The U.S Marine Corps Recruiting Center, which has been the target of protests for the past 18 months, was badly damaged by vandals Wednesday night, the eve of the 6th anniversary of the Iraq war.
Today, broken windows are boarded up with sheets of plywood at the recruitment center in downtown Berkeley.
CodePink and other anti-war groups picketed in front of the Marine recruiting center at 64 Shattuck Square in downtown Berkeley since the fall of 2007. The groups say the Marines do not belong in liberal Berkeley and they should find a new spot for their center. The Marines have a lease through the end of this year and have said they have no plans to leave before then.
Last year, the situation heated up when the Berkeley City Council called the Marines "uninvited and unwelcome intruders," and made clear its intention to send a letter stating the sentiment.

Let the Marines defend themselves.
Does Pelosi think these vandals are patriotic too?
Odds are they waited until NO Marines were around ....
Let Berkeley defend itself. That city should get no protection from the American military.
BOYCOTT BERKELEY
NUKE BERKELEY
“The groups say the Marines do not belong in liberal Berkeley”
Actually, I agree with that statement. Berkeley isn’t good enough to have the Marines in their midst.
When the next terror strike hits, and it will, hopefully it’ll be on some bilgerat-infested hole such as Berkeley.
You could sell tickets to that.
Replay of Kent State, anyone? I’d be OK with that against those f-ing communists in Berkeley.
Liberals claim to stand for “tolerance” and “diversity”. They’re okay with anyone who hates goodness, but they have no tolerance for those different enough from them to have values.
“You could sell tickets to that.”

“send a letter stating the sentiment”
Well why don’t they just head on down there and tell them to their faces.
Have the marines rotate hidden guard duty 24/7. When they see the perps show up, they can camly walk out and say “Excuse me, we would like to discuss our differences with you over some tea and knuckle sandwiches....”
You’ll get no takers on that sure money proposition. Heck, a couple of retired Marines would no doubt put the Code Pinkos to rout just by looking at them. If, that is, the retired warriors could bring themselves to experience such visual distress.
Excellent idea...one problem, it wouldn’t last long, the Marines would spend more time chasing them down than teaching them not to touch other peoples stuff.
and to stop laughing.
Skip the tea. Broom handles where the sun don’t shine along with the knuckle sandwiches. After all, many don’t get their daily minimum of fiber.
