06 Feb 07 - 04:43 PM (#1959522) Subject: RE: BS: War protestors From: jeffp Story here in the Washington Post. Apparently nine protestors spray painted steps on the West side of the Capitol. The article mentions "other buildings," but doesn't elaborate. |

Coyote manoeuvre, eh? Hoping someone trying to run up the painted steps will crash into the wall and knock themselves out? |

06 Feb 07 - 05:02 PM (#1959555) Subject: RE: BS: War protestors From: able I assume the capitol is Washington. At least it was non violent by the sounds of it. Surprises me that there haven't been far more events, people will do their silly things. Expect the painters to be young idealitic and not particularly bright. These things happen, and we can all wish that they didn't. |

07 Feb 07 - 04:47 PM (#1960360) Subject: RE: BS: War protestors From: Alba Personally I am for Protesters myself. I mean if someone somewhere hadn't tested that paint those protesters used then it might not have come off so easily! Sheeesh, I mean the "Police" saw them painting and let it happen. Pro Paint Police now...what is this Country coming to! This is serious, unlike say, people dying daily in Iraq and in many other war torn Countries around the Planet. Silly young idealitic and not particularly bright protestors! Strange.. the young people at the PRO PEACE rally I attended elsewhere in the Land of the Free the same day seemed very bright and very REALISTIC!..odd.... |

07 Feb 07 - 06:33 PM (#1960499) Subject: RE: BS: War protestors From: JeremyC Yeah, exactly. How many Iraqi children and late-teenage to early-twenties Americans were killed by the protestors' vandalism? |

08 Feb 07 - 04:13 PM (#1961567) Subject: RE: BS: War protestors From: Cats My grandmother pulled some weird stunts when she was a protestor. She chained herself to railings, tried to burn down railway lines and blow up the lines so the prime minister couldn't get to his country retreat. It worked. Women and working men got the vote. I joined in some weird stunts in my younger days. I put photographs on a wire fence of my nephew and neice, wove flowers into the wire and stood holding hands with thousands of other women right around the base. It worked. Greenham Common closed. I can't condemn those who painted the steps to the capitol building. At least it was a peaceful protest, not a violent one. At least it made us stop and think. |
