Nice work; thanks.

Hahahahahahahahaha!
Thanks. About the time those bombs went off in Bagdad, we had a jet go over our house (and we never have them go over). My heart is still racing.
I needed a good laugh.

These people need to be arrested with no bond until the war is over. We don't have time for this. While our police are picking them up, off roads who is watching for terrorists?

The right to protest should never overcome the right for me to drive my car down the street! Thanks for the report.

[Teetop]

Thanks for telling us what you saw. I live in a small town, so I don't get much "excitement" here! LOL

[Texas_Jarhead]

nice report. well done.

Yo Milanese, Is this thread describing the same event you witnessed? If so, how would you rate it for accuracy? Thanks in advance.

[Milanese]

Yes, indeed that is the same protest.

I saw "Yeti man" He was one of the first 15 or so arrested, so I was there. When police led him away he was high-stepping using the support of the police holding him, like he was walking on the moon.

I saw some baton pushing, stick grabbing. Maybe some hard core ones were physically resisting after I left. I was surprised the police weren't more forceful at first, but they knew what they were doing.

Contrary to that story, the protestors were maching away from, not towards the "government complex."

A San Diego station reported on this, stating that 1/2 the protesters were kids from palisades High, and that one protester was hit by a policeman or two (with batons).

Bump.

[Shermy]

Bump. Love the ladies with the flags!

Well, you can excuse them all you want... but they are distracting the authorities from doing their duty to be vigiliant in order to protect us from a possible terrorist attack. GIVE ME A BREAK!!!...to say the least. I will be civil...I will be civil....1...2...3...4...5...etc. Arrrrgggghhhh!

And I quote "Milanese signed up 2003-03-15.". I am usually not THAT paranoid but this post just smells like a day old carp.

[Cinnamon Girl]

Thanks for the report. According to the radio, the protest at the Federal building is STILL GOING ON and it's 10:30pm. I heard there was some dispute about whether some kids got smacked with a police baton.

[Texas_Jarhead]

yea, I noticed that too but benefit of the doubt and all that

[hole_n_one]

I'm afraid it's going to get alot worse before it gets any better.

[ravingnutter]

It is late, I am tired, our house got burglarized on Monday and hubby has been out of town all week...I just have no patience tonight for anyone that would excuse these protestors...

[Texas_Jarhead]

Sorry to hear about your house. Best of luck to you.

Nice work! The image of that little ditz with the pink sign makes me chuckle.
