I can tell you that the group marched right up to the one gate separating the dock from the staging area. No security, no gates, no barriers..

The ship should have departed with the traitors chained to the vessel.... and let the seagulls pick at the remains on the return trip.

Anyone else who participated (who was not chained to the ship) should have been arrested and held without bond.

Terrorist supporters are planning the same thing when the ship makes a port of call in Tacoma, WA shortly.

Where in the hell is the Dung Beetle Party’s J6 Insane Clown Posse? Insurrection by the Muzzies is breaking out all over America. They are stopping Navy ships from sailing. Isn’t that more serious than some clown peeing on Pelosi’s Mother of All Gavels and her laptop?

We’ve become too civilized to survive. Unless we toughen up RIGHT NOW, the barbarians will wipe us out...except for those they want as slaves.

More of an insurrection than J6.

Ever notice how some “protesters” always seem to go where ever they want and disrupt what ever they want while others are arrested and sent to prison for years?

You would almost think someone in our government is controlling them (and protecting them).

They should, but unfortunately, they will walk.

Yeah, just tell them to dig their heels in really hard and see if they are stronger than the ship.

I’m 77, BORN IN 1946 IN ALBERT CANADA... I’m A NATURALIZED CITIZEN and an X military tanker ... so help me out here...

1) If the world is so bad for supporting ISRAEL... why are so-called Palestinians marching and raising hell and not in ISRAEL fighting to keep the so-called Palestinian land?

2) Oh... and why did the so-called “Palestinians” leave ISRAEL in the first place?

3) Immigration laws are not broken, trust me as I’m an immigrant... they are just NOT being enforced... that’s the problem!

Waiting to hear the left explain...

Fire axes, wrists.

Easy peasey.

How about showing the same level of balls that the Tribal coppers showed when some “stop oil” Aholes blocked the single road to burning man? The ran thru the blockade and pushed every Aholes off the road and zip tied the bunch.

Very well said.

Trying to win the Good Little Boy (or Girl) Award is useless.
There isn’t one and it sets us up for destruction.

“.....All the responsibility of DHS under the control of Alejandro Myworthless....”

First, who leaded the information to the demonstrators about the ship, its location and its mission? Inquiring minds want to know?

Second, I have a TWIC (Transportation Worker Identification Card) that is required to gain access to most docks in this country. The Coast Guard employs a three-tiered system of Maritime Security (MARSEC) Levels, I would expect a military operation should be a Level 3 event. So, not only who leaked the information, but who failed to enforce MARSEC security levels at this particular port location?

I think if investigated by a committee of the House of Representatives, some people should be turned over to be investigated for criminal trials.
