North Carolina Anti-war organization planning mischief "the day the bombs start falling on Iraq".

[ctnoell70]

The Greensboro, NC anti-war (anti-America) organization, Greensboroantiwar.org, is planning "die-in's" (and other forms of civil disobedience/violence) the very day that war starts in Iraq. This organization is based at UNC-Greensboro, but is part of a broad network on campuses nationwide that plan similar anti-American (pro-Saddam) protests once the war starts. We need to organize pro-American, counter protests to silence these traitorous maggots. Listed on their website is a list of other campuses in their network that plan to take part in their displays of loyalty to the enemies of America. Protesting American foreign policy before war is free speech; protesting America when it is at war is treason.

Please give a reference in the Constitution or a court ruling or something to back "protesting America when it is at war is treason."

I see it as treason, but can't see the legality of the statement, but I'm sure I am missing something.

Thanx in advance, BCC

[ctnoell70]

just my humble opinion.

[Rebelbase]

Protests in Greensboro are usually harmless unless someone brings a gun.

I consider protesting America when at war as "giving aid and comfort to the enemy", which is listed in the Constitution, but is open to interpretation.

[ctnoell70]

I wasn't planning to bring the Klan with me, LOL. All I will be armed with is an American flag.

[Sam Cree]

I note that UNC is supported by North Carolina tax payers. They may have an opinion, therefore.

[mhking]

All one of these morons need to do is to get in my face - I'm not the smallest man in the world; so if they're stupid enough to do that, I can just body slam them into next week.

Then again, maybe, in order to prevent getting my hands dirty, they can become hood ornaments for my Urban Assault Vehicle...

[Blue Collar Christian]

I had read this in a post yesterday, and it surely is subject to interpretation, and does not state that such acts are treason, but that they are misdemeanors. The jury present at a trial of said offenders would then be responsible for the interpretation of these articles, which would be subject to the sympathies evoked by both the defense and the prosecution. Here in CA, anyone faced with these charges would walk, sadly.

Gas and dog them.

If you use violence, which I would love to do, you will play into their hands. It does sound delicious, though.

[ctnoell70]

Speaking of violence, 12 peace-loving, anti-war protesters have been arrested in DC this morning.

[Blue Collar Christian]

I know, that's wonderful, but will be lost on many Martin Sheen types.

[ctnoell70]

Being an over-taxed North Carolina resident myself, I know exactly what you mean.

[ctnoell70]

Please see recent post: "200 Renegades Go On Rampage in S.F."

They are the enemy. Need I say more?

[StriperSniper]

Greensboroantiwar.org, is planning "die-in's"

I hope they are successful beyond their wildest dreams.
