International ANSWER Peace Rally Participants Turn Violent
RaoulGram

Posted on 05/24/2003 12:19:37 PM PDT by Doctor Raoul

I was just speaking with Kristinn. He and tgsltakoma went to Freedom Plaza to observe the left wing anti-war rally, especially to see if Al Sharpon and some other invited Democrats would speak.

Well first thing that happened was a not so veiled threat from Brian Becker of the Workers World Party against tgsltakoma. From the stage he pointed her out, called her a government agent and a "cock roach". Then he said, You know what you can do about a coack roach, you can ignore it or do something else."

Even the National Lawyer's Guild volunteers in the green hats got violent. They blocked her view of the stage and shoved her. Police were called and a compromise made, they'd stay (ANSWER does have a permit and ANSWER will stop the violence).

Well ANSWER jhas not stopped the violence, a man just threatened to beat up tgsltakoma (a lady for all you lurkers). Police are being summoned now.

ANSWER is probably in a bad mood because they only have about 200 people there.

This anti-Democratic organizations' ability to protest is also hypcoritical, because they well know that under the form of government they want, freedom of speech will not be present.

Ummmm....just out of curiosity, what is A.N.S.W.E.R protesting now? The war is over and done and we're not actively talking about another one right now. Are they pining for the pre-war days and just have nothing better to do now?

Praying for tgsltakoma's safety. I was at a FReep of A.N.S.W.E.R in Houston last February and a lot of those people don't look too stable.

I seriously hope some people are taking video and making a case for inciting violence in a federal crime sort of way!!!

Is anyone really surprized by this?

Sooner or later, we are going to have to fight for our rights in our own streets. The Storm Trooper element among these radical anti-everything groups will not go away peacefully, and will not learn to behave in a civilized manner.

Doctor Raoul, was this a stealth Freep? If so it sounds like Kristinn and tgsltakomma are having fun (NOT). Wish I was down there with them.

war protesters rarely have peaceful rallies, something or other always gets broken or vandalized. And they will blame the policeman's helmet for gettng in the way of their fist and breaking their hand
