Protesters splattered human blood onto an American flag Monday at a military recruiting station in order to draw attention to the anti-war movement.

A group of about 20 gathered in front of the U.S. Army and Marine Corps recruiting station at the Cayuga Mall in Lansing on Monday protesting a possible war against Iraq. Four protesters who entered the office were arrested by Tompkins County Sheriff's deputies.

DeMott, Burns and Clare Grady have previously been arrested during a protest at the military recruitment center. On Dec. 21, they were part of 13 protesters arrested for criminal trespass.

Time for the Judge and the titularly republican D.A. to grow some balls and revoke these bastards' bail.

Ithaca is the City of Evil.

The sad thing is that the Military is the ones defending their right to have these protests. It is amazing how stupid some people can be. Let them try that in Iraq, North Korea, China ...

The protesters stood outside praying and singing as employees at the recruitment station locked the doors to prevent further damage.

Who do they pray to, Mother Earth?

In MY world, blood is a BIOHAZARD and is treated as such.

Now, I consider thisd person to be a bioterrorist and should be treated as such. Her blood could be tainted with some known or unknown pathogen that could kill someone coming in contact with it. Pic a virus, any virus.

If you don't have anything intelligent to offer, hey, for these folks a bucket of bodily fluids is just as good...

I don't even want to think about where a bunch of women got enough blood to splash around . . .

More proof that anti-war protesters are, in fact, anti-American protesters merely using the war as a platform.

High above Cayuga's waters
There's an awful smell
Some say it's the Tompkins landfill
I think it's Cornell

Yeah, the military, "recruiting offices," are a LOT different in those countries!

Except for the fact that it would create a PR coup for the leftys, I say turn the Marines and Soldiers in that station loose on the anti-American punks.

There would be a lot of thumping, bone-cracking sounds -- shortly followed by the wailing of commie losers.

Signs asking drivers to honk if they supported the anti-war movement drew a variety of responses.

Now that was subtle.

As my sainted mother once said of Kent State: "It might have been a PR coup, but it calmed those protestors down."

I hate to tell them this, but.. the flag has already been bathed in blood.
The blood of brave soldiers and citizens of AMERICA.

These guys are clueless idiots who need to get a life.
But fungus thrives on the detritus of fecal matter.

Two of the protesters splattered human blood on the walls of the station's entrance. Four people, including Grady, were arrested.
