After spending the last week on stand-by to see if my team would be activated, I am finally free to go hit the rivers. I am just a little curious how people here feel about these "peaceful" protesters.

I was very involved in one last year when we arrested 23. I wish I was free to tell you about all the BS we had to put with from them during that. I am a former greeener myself, so please refrain from gross stereotyping please.

Here's my take-

Most of the protesters were college age, although the leader (Evergreen College professor) never placed himself in the line of fire.....

Some of the older ones brought their children into an unsafe place at least one of the days and should have been arrested for child endangerment.

They were all quickly booked and arrested although after what happened (or didn't happen) last time they will probably face no consquences as they should for their property destruction, rock throwing, and defacing of public property. Not to mention their tying up of expensive taxpayer resources.

They neither stopped the shipments or changed anything about the war.

They are mostly a bunch of whining, idealistic, brainwashed idealogues that have no clue about what is really going on in Iraq.
