Peaceniks Subdued in NYC

10/7/01

Forgive me if someone else has posted this info. I've not yet seen another after-action report on this afternoon's FReep of 'peace' protestors in Union Square park.

We had a small but dedicated group of about 75 FReepers & walk-ups counter-protesting the "Give Peace A Chance" group occupying Union Square park.

I arrived about 2:00 PM and the reception we received from passersby was electric! Horns were honking and we were given the 'thumbs up' sign by 2/3 of those who drove by.

Many took photos and I would like to think that our demonstration was the reason that the peaceniks moved their 'festivities' down the street about 4 blocks.

We could barely hear their inane and monotonous droning as we drowned them out with chants of: "Hey Osama, it's time we bombed ya!" Little did we know at the time that bombs were indeed dropping in Afghanistan.

The indomitable RaceBannon closed the FReep with a hearty 'three cheers' for the NYPD, which was well received by all.

All in all a great day for America.

Whoa -- what are you smoking???

There have been hundreds of Freeps around the country (DC chapter Freeped Gore's house for weeks last year) and never any violence. Geez, get a grip fella, sounds like you have no clue at all what you're talking about.

[GuillermoX]

What kind of signs did you have, what did they say?

[maica]

Great show, Freepers! We must never let the anti-Americans have the megaphone of the street protest as their sole territory again!

[LisaFab]

I remember Nam.

Doubt it. Your types won the day in the 60's but that s**t is OVER! I'll not converse with you any longer.

IF you want justification for my actions today, take a trip to ground zero.

Over and out comrade.

Why don't you do a hand recount in Florida and get back to us in 8 years?

[MediaMole]

It is one heck of a stretch to equate a peaceful counter protest with Kent State.

Oh goody, here's LLAN-DDEUSANT posting another one of his stupid, anti-American rants again.
Maybe the terrorist acts in New York and D.C. were just simple cries of help from some poor, oppressed Muslims.
We should try to understand and feel their pain.
Tell me, LD, how many times did you vote for Clinton/Gore??

Tsk, tsk, Osama-man.

[Lizavetta]

Where were the peaceniks and anti-war goofs during Kosovo?
Bosnia?
Sudan aspirin factory?
Somalia?
Indonesia?

Oh, wait a minute.....it was the Toon in the White House at those times, not a warhawk Republican. Sorry, my mistake. I bad.

Don't worry, FReeping ain't a contact sport. The only people who might possibly ever be caught busting heads will be those who can do it leagally (NYPD).

[LisaFab]

Mine sign read "You're either with us or with the terrorists!" with a nice American flag in the middle. One guy hand-painted an ostrich with the saying: "Get your heads out of the sand"

Some signs read: "Welcome to NY Traitors!" Many just gave thanks to the NYPD & NYFD, or identified the 'peace' protestors as cowards, traitors and worse!

[Constantine XIII]

Barring self-defense, of course :o)

"No, your types lost it because you don't know crap about being a citizen of the United States. "

Where are you from, incidentally? Your profile is blank.

[Bad~Rodeo]

Thanks....

[Bad~Rodeo]

Can YOU spell Clinton?......~rolling eyes~

[Constantine XIII]

Go NYC Freepers!

[RobbyS]

Hurrah!

[LisaFab]

Great questions all, and ones we wanted to ask the peaceniks but were not permitted to. Believe me, these peoples' only commmonality is their hatred for America.

[spectre]

Hi, retard.

I carefully read your post #17 with your condescending lecture. I then read the other 16 posts looking for examples of mayhem, busted heads, etc. that you refered to.

Couldn't find any.

How come?
