get one in the eye......
Or on a new car’s paint job.
Nah Ben better leave it alone......
I am for caning. A dozen good swats across the buttocks would make them think next time.
Objects thrown some distance would probably be traveling about 50 mi/h or more. An egg in the eye would not be good.
I guess that means that we'll soon see their parents on the MSM wailing about the vicious police tactics of the Bush administration, attempt to silence legitimate political dissent concerning the illegal war in Iraq, yada yada yada, blah blah blah.
Hey!
Not ALL of we New Englanders are libs!
I’m a conservative and a member of the Patriot Guard.
Some of us are still sane up here!

Possibly they had the same type of non-history class in school that a 21 year old quoted in a column of comments on Memorial Day had. She said that she didn’t know anyone in Iraq or Aphganistan and thus Memorial Day didn’t mean anything to her. DUH! I guess she’s been in the America-is-an-oppressor-nation type of social studies class so far. sad
I’m disappointed by this disrespectful display. How dare they?! They should be ashamed of themselves. Their parents should be held accountable. Unfortunately, this is not the only anti-USA demonstration I heard of that went on yesterday. It makes me sick to my stomach.
That wouldn’t surprise me a bit Mommy and daddy might even hire a couple hookers for the party.
Your idea got me to thinking. Being serious, I like the idea of them working at the local VA hospital, maybe all summer, while school is out.
The confusion between the two runs long and deep. I would bet that nine times out of ten, or more, when the media reports of a 21 gun salute, it’s really a 3 shot volley. I never knew one from the other until about a year ago when I found out here on FreeRepublic... and I’m 3 years older than you! So a little math would show that you found out 2 years before I did. :)
WOW.... never heard of libs “homeschooling”. Most of the exceedingly responsible parents known to homeschool were pretty conservative. How could a lib improve on their kids education outside publik skool?
cholesterol kills
Ah - but most of the conservatives up there bite their lip and avoid confrontation.
I got a few looks and grins that I was ‘fighting the good fight’ but no one else spoke up to support me (however nor did anyone step up to support the lib)
I guess my advice to you is if you ever encounter someone espousing conservative ideals, please back them up if you can. Strength in numbers and all that...
(I just noticed you’re from Maine - that’s different. Maine is full of what I call “New england rednecks” - people who appreciate the constitution, can survive in nature, love the land and their freedom. Libs seem to be the minority in Maine but I’ve only been there twice)
This has nothing to do with the subject of the story, but it should be noted that reporters are notorious for mistaking a "3 Shot Volley" for a "21 Gun Salute."
For that matter the color guard does not fire the salute at all, the firing party does.
At least they did at the gazillion funerals I participated in at Arlington.
In either case it is indefensible stupidity, but I'm hoping it is something these teens will grow out of.
MILITARY SCHOOL.

It used to be that Libs were the minority up here..
But we have the rich nutnicks that move up here and treat the locals like crap.
We red neck conservatives are fighting the good fight, though!
