Captain Bill Cooper of the UC Berkeley police said today that 119 protesters have been arrested at a sit-in this afternoon in the lobby of Sproul Hall.

Cooper said none of the protesters were charged with resisting arrest and were cited and released.

Silly me. The Berzekeley Taliban haven't become doe eyed Bambis yet.

Is there anyone else who enjoys the irony of the anti-American leftists shutting down San Fran (one of the most liberal cities on the face of the Earth) with their protests? Yeah--you go stick it to the man, leftists!

I'm glad I can't smell that picture.

Yeah... They may get away with it there... In my neck of the woods these tactics would give reason for people to kick the living excrement out of them. Not to many rabid liberals living in Kansas, and if they do, they keep their traps and their business to themselves.

If UC Berkeley had any druthers... it would expel these Commie fifth columnists from the campus and cut them off from their taxpayer subsidized brainwashing and have them subject to the appropriate sanctions established by law. I've had my fill up to here with anti-American riffraff.

ROTFL!

[P-Marlowe]

Absolutely Hilarious. The Chickens have come home to roost...nd to crap and puke on their sidewalks. Let them shut down the City. San Francisco deserves these people. I would love to crap and Puke on San Francisco myself. But only because I LOVE this country and I hate San Francisco.

...it refuse to cooperate with federal agencies...

But, but, but...I thought lefties LOVED big government! (Only when it is handing out wealth re-distribution checks, evidently.)

[goldstategop]

They do. They just don't want the feds to stomp on them hard and squish them underneath like the cockroaches they are.

Ok Folks who in the United States is feeding this information to the “Human Shields”?

We were prepared for the bombing to begin Thursday at around 4AM. This itself was rather unreal to me. Having a definite time for such a thing seems an attempt to give definition to that which ought to defy human definition. We congregated together until around midnight when we started hearing that a sandstorm had grounded the military planes and the invasion would be called off. Then at 3AM we received word from the States that the planes were on the way.Diaries

These clowns are treading on very thin ice...

ONE more act of terrorism in the U.S. and the police can't deal with it because they're diverted with these twits??

The citizens would take over. Can we say Militia, boys and girls? And citizens wouldn't be playing "fair" like the officers are forced to do.

Personally, I love living in the Bay Area. Only about 5% or so of the population (maybe 10% in the urban cores like SF and Berkeley) falls under the hippie/leftist/anti-American-scumball category. Problem is, these are the ones who take to the streets.

My wife and I drove around today looking for protesters to egg. Tomorrow we are going to the UofM campus to "bomb the protesters with food and butter."

It needs to ----these clowns really need to get a job ---idle minds are the devil's workshop as they say. They are very pampered children who have never had to grow up or learn to work, they can live in la-la land as long as someone else is paying their way.

[FITZ]

It'd be fun to shoot them with yellow paintballs. Otherwise ---since they're so pro-Iraq, why not load them and drop them off in Baghdad? Let them really test their "principles".

[rodeocowboy]

I agree. Where are the parents?! I would be yanking my son/daughter out of the crowd by his/her ear in front of all their hippy friends.

[FITZ]

Where are the parents?!

These kids have been catered to all their lives, they've had everything handed to them on a silver platter ----the community college kids put these pampered brats to shame -- while they throw some big temper tantrum, the children of the middle class are busy studying and working their way through college.
