So some students are coming on their own to support the Troops, and some are being recruited by the commies to show their hate for America?My understanding is that WCW has a protest permit that’s for something like Shattuck & Center, but they actually plan on protesting at the USMC office.
Pro-Marine Berkeley High students tell me they’ll be at the USMC office starting around lunchtime, staying as long as possible given their classes and such. I’m sure they’d love any support!
The DASW (Direct Action to Stop the War) is indeed coordinating many anti-America/Troop events in the city.

5:00 pm - March & Rally to End the War Now! Gather at Civic Center Polk and Grove Sts. Initiated by the A.N.S.W.E.R. Coalition - San Francisco
I was there around lunchtime and as it turns out there were 3 pro-Marine students and no anti-Marine students, but they’re supposed to be picking up some after lunch.
There was a die-in at market/3rd where 29 were arrested and another at market/montgomery where 50+ were arrested.
I have photographs of one of the die-ins and the recruiting station on the website - http://www.protestshooter.com/200803195th/
