What Did They Expect To Accomplish? [Ken Scram (Komo-Seattle) Commentary on anti-war protests]

[WOSG]

great signs

[Consort]

Marching is just the beginning. Civil disobedience, campus riots, etc are next.

[sport]

They should have run over the sob's.

Every damn protestor needs to be hung from a light pole.

[Scott from the Left Coast]

He is making sense...well, sort of (maybe the beard helps him). They are dumb as rocks...but not just because they are causing traffic problems!

[Thunder 6]

It must be something about Seattle...everytime these folks decide to protest something, they march on down (from UW or Capitol Hill, or Broadway) and block the Interstate. The Gulf War, Rodney King, the WTO...I'm missing something...is blocking the highway supposed to make me sympathetic to their cause? Or curse the idiots who set up the "ate up" road network in/around Seattle?

[Constantine XIII]

"Communism has only killed 100 million, let's give it another chance!" HA HA ha ha ha ha ha! ;O)

[Chad Fairbanks]

They even do it if some criminal scumbag tries to kill a cop and gets shot... there's gotta be something in the water down there...

[Chad Fairbanks]

"Saddam only kills his own people, it's none of our business" sounds like a lot of the Libertarians here (not all, but many) ;0)

Well, if you remember that the organizers of the anti-war protests are the same people who trashed Seattle during the World Trade meeting you won't be so surprised.

A.N.S.W.E.R has changed their web site and deleted all reference to the anti-globalization protests, but they are one and the same, anarchists. They also deleted reference to support of Milosovic, Castro and Kim Jong Il.

[HairOfTheDog]

I am not surprised that there were protests....

I was surprised that I enjoyed reading a Ken Schram editorial! HA!

[bigfootbob]

"I am thinkin' he was probably just 87,462 cars back in the backup that followed this little stunt and it ticked him off, and he now thinks the antiwar movement looks silly. Purdy funny if you ask me."

You're probably right. I've heard Schram becomes "Schrambo" when he gets behind a steering wheel. He's an ex-New Yorker,(we all know about their driving finesse), I wish he'd go back and take a half a dozen or more of his buddies with him.

[Golan Trevize]

Unbelieveable. I never thought I'd hear our own local Donahue wannabe say anything I agree with.

As I told my wife as we were watching these parasites perform their little hippie theater in the round on the news last night:

Please let them do this in front of my Explorer next time!

[RobRoy]

HA! That is exactly what I was thinking.

[ppaul]

I am not surprised that there were protests....I was surprised that I enjoyed reading a Ken Schram editorial! HA!

[HairOfTheDog]

ROFL!

I have a bag all packed, in case this "agreeing with Ken Schram" thing happens again....

[ppaul]

Thanks for the ping.

"Is there water under that portion of the bridge?"

Yes. The area there is called the Mountlake Cut. It is a man made canal connecting Lake Washington with Lake Union and the Puget Sound.

The cops tossed the protesters tripod play toy over the side into the water.

[HairOfTheDog]

They tossed it really?

[bigfootbob]

"They tossed it really?"

You bet. It wasn't the Seattle cops that responded first, it was our jackbooted State Patrol. I'm surprized a couple of protesters didn't get a billyclub shampoo.
