Hooligans at it again - Anarchists downtown

[skrimmy]

Well, these are the folks that give protestors a bad rap. I don't agree with the protests, I support our troops. That's not the issue, and let's not bother debating that here, no one will sway any opionions.

But this is what has been going on this morning downtown. These aren't protestors, they are ANARCHISTS, hell bent on stirring trouble, breaking city ordinances, and disrupting the valid rights of others.

They are cowards, not protestors and should all be sitting in jail right now. They don't have spine enough to show their faces.

Let it be known that I fully support the 1st ammendment. That's not what this is about. These folks have no interest in protesting the war. I fully support a person's right to do that, but peacefully. These folks have no interest in the war. They use any opportunity they can to inflict harm on innocent businesses, cars, police, you name it. They come out on New Year's eve, WTO conferences, you name it. All they want to do is protest the "establishment", all through violent behavior.

Why doesn't the mayor let the police do their job?

Downtown Portland, Downtown Aman, Downtown Doha, Downtown Kairo...

Coincidence...I think not. Can you tell the difference? [img]graemlins/1zhelp.gif[/img]

Maybe somebody should tell that guy that stockings go on legs not faces. :tongue:

I think the mayor is done for with the voters. I also think that the demonstrators are helping swing more people to support the troops by the actions they are taking.
When they are not in the streets protesting they are trying to recruit more students from PSU's campus downtown. You know its bad when my teenage daughter is sick of it.

The violent protestors are an oxymoron. They say, No to violence with violence. [img]graemlins/stupid.gif[/img]

Just like most confused liberals, they want to protect guilty murders by stopping the death penalty, but are in favor of murdering innocent babies in the womb by so called prochoice. :whazzup:

Liberals want freedom of speech, but are unwilling to fight for that right, or allow others the choice to fight for freedom. :whazzup:

Liberals were in charge of the county when terrorists attacked the World Trade Center with a bomb in the basement. The liberal attitude is, America was attacked because it's our fault - we must have done something wrong. :whazzup:

Most liberals believe the USA is evil. :whazzup:

These anarchists will show up at any public type gathering just to disrupt! I have no sympathy for these people because they make those who are alw abiding look bad. I'm wondering where they comne from and if they are an organized group. I've heard that some of them come from Eugene but don't know for sure.

<font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helvetica">This must be a rhetoric question! The mayor is quoted stating that she believes they should be allowed to 'voice' their opinion - even if that includes breaking a few laws. To enforce all the laws would invite violence.

"Invite more violence" can you beleive that!!! Combine this with her eternal 'stick-it-to-small-businesses' tax attitude has convinced me to sign on for her recall.

Time to take the cuffs off the LEOs and put them on the local terrorists (known by the press as the demonstrators).
