Words fail me.

Sob! Boo Hoo!!

Wait til I get my crying towel out to wipe away my tears.

Bwahahahahahahahahaha

"We understand that we were not on vacation, but it was unacceptable the way we were treated," said a protester who gave her name as Pancetta, 24, of Berkeley.

Cry me a f**kin' river. If they had in Iraq protesting the government they would have shot.

,i>Some women were addressed by deputies as "little girl" or "hon," one protester said.

The HORROR!!!!

Some women were addressed by deputies as "little girl" or "hon," one protester said.

They griped that their requests for water or food were ignored or delayed for hours. When they did get fed, they got cheese or peanut butter-and-jelly sandwiches that didn't taste great.

The horrors. The brutality. The stench. Who gives a rats rearend what these cry babies think.

Many declined to give their real names as they ate hot cereal and drank tea provided by supporters.

Those arrested in this manner should have their names publicly printed in the local police blotters so that their neighbors can see them for the un-American trash that they are. Those refusing to give their real names should rot in their cells until they do.

Maybe they will wake up and smell the gunpowder. For all I care they can spend tonight in there also.

I'm sure their San Francisco jail hosts were a lot nicer to these ingreats then I would have been.
Get the water cannons boys.

Liberals hate jail? Now I can understand why they feel a kinship with psychopaths.

"The horrors. The brutality. The stench. Who gives a rats rearend what these cry babies think."

Really, I'd like to see some of these people negotiate a "peace" deal with Bubba over who gets their donuts in the morning.

When they did get fed, they got cheese or peanut butter-and-jelly sandwiches that didn't taste great.

Isn't this a violation of the Geneva Convention?

[wretchard]

The police were rude. The cells were not nice. The coffee was instant. We were billeted with criminals. I lost my contact lenses and the officer wouldn't let me look for them. They took my fingerprints. I was forced to pose for a photograph. The whole place had most unpleasant smell. I was afraid the whole time.

Any two-bit punk is tougher than these committed soldiers for peace.

You new here???? DU send you????

There should be community websites with their pictures and other personal info. Some cities are doing that now with customers of prostitutes.

[goldstategop]

I wonder what they would say to Uday's making them a little workover?? ;-)

Very nutritious however. What did they expect T-bones steaks
