It's really hard to take serious a newspaper that uses the phrase "whooped it up".

Anti-war protesters emerged tired, hungry and, in some cases, tearful Friday after being held overnight in a San Francisco jail. Awwww....this just breaks my heart. Why should we be cncerned about all those people in Kuwait and Iraq who are putting their lives on the line for our protection when we have people being treated (whiny tone) so badly right here at home? {/sarcasm}

Since when did prisoners get a vacational treatment?

For years, protesters have acted like their illegal actions don't have legal consequences, just because they claim "civil disobedience" and "free speech."
There is, however, a difference between speech and actions. Their speech crossed the line a long time ago.
Similarly, they invoke the concept of "civil disobedience" as some sort of "get out of jail free" card. Do they not understand that the entire point of civil disobedience, as practiced by Thoreau and others, was to GET arrested as a demostration of their beliefs? Apparently not.
Party's over kiddies. We are at war and the adults are back in charge. Enjoy your bread and water and get used to taste if you are going to act like spoiled thugs.

Kristol on FOX right now is saying that on universities the overwhelming anti-war sentiment is among the professors, not the students.
He also said that students who try to quote conservative sources in history/politics classes often are suppressed by their professors.

"Our interest is to distinguish between those (who) practice civil disobedience and those intent on violence and destruction. The latter will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law," said Mark MacNamara, spokesman for District Attorney Terence Hallinan. The whole point of civil disobedience is that you are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
When even the District Attorney (through his spokesman) announces that he won't prosecute those committing civil disobedience, he is encouraging lawless behavior.
In addition, they are not looking at the crimes, but at the "cause" when they decide whether or not to prosecute. In other words, if you commit crimes like trespass and disturbing the peace, while protesting the policies of the Bush Administration, you will not be punished. But if you engage in the exact same crimes while protesting abortion, you will have the full wrath of prosecutorial powers (RICO statutes, for example) bear down on you.

Brian Henderson, 19, a UC Santa Cruz student, said police had used "scare tactics" on a protester who wouldn't give her name, including threatening to withhold bathroom privileges."That is not right," Henderson said.
If they didn't like that, they should try being fed into a giant plastic-shredding machine sometime, or having a relaxing acid bath.

Let's see, they puke and poop in front of businesses, attack officers, call the president and our troops "baby killers," and stink to high heaven and THEY have the gall to complain about how they are treated?

They are lucky that they didn't get shipped to Maricopa County, AZ. Sheriff Joe would have put them in tents in the AZ desert, made them wear pink underwear, and fed them green baloney.
