NORTHAMPTON, MASSACHUSETTS (WWLP, March 29, 2003) Police arrested dozens of demonstrators in Northampton yesterday during an anti-war rally. The group was arrested for disturbing the peace and unlawful assembly after blocking traffic in a busy intersection.
Many of the anti-war protestors wore all black, symbolizing what they say are deaths of Iraqi civilians and United States soldiers. They marched through the city's center carrying hand made props representing coffins and blood stained flags.
Northampton police say that although the group had a right to assemble, arrests were necessary once the protest started to interfere with traffic. In all, police say 25 protesters were arrested in yesterday's march.

Since these peace pigs like to desecrate the American flag with "blood," maybe they should be made to spill their own--in large quantities!

Ever notice that the pro-troops, pro-war people are more peaceful than the so-called anti-war people?

Having lived in the state, Why do you think they call them
m@ssholes anyway? Look at who they put back in office year after year after year.

Can't they invoke "three strikes" on some of these people, if they are arrested repeatedly for disturbing the peace?

I was thinking the same thing. It was a "come as you are" rally.

Can the left be any dumber? LOL
To: jt8d
Make all arrested war protesters pay $500.00 fine to help pay for the war.
To: CROSSHIGHWAYMAN
The pro-USA side isn't pro-war, we just know there can be no peace without strength, letting people kill Americans is not something that can just go unpunished. The pro-peace side isn't for peace, they don't want the US to defend itself for other reasons.

Title 18, Sabotage, up to 30 years, according to Savage on MSNBC today. Will be urging people to make Citizen's arrest.
To: jt8d
Something for the peaceniks to maybe think about...
"If you lived in Iraq and protested the Iraqi regime the Republican Guard would force you to take up arms against the coalition and if you didn't they'd kill your family in front of you then kill you."

Someone online that my husband has been talking to mentioned his friend being 'proud of her FBI file' because of the protests she did in Washington DC (involving mobbing the guards in order to sing peace songs on the White House lawn). I told him he should just say "so? Many teenage guys are proud of the huge number of women/girls they've screwed too."
