Seems I've offended Lisa. I am sorry Lisa. Even trolls have feelings.

Three square meals a day, free medical care and a free attorney. The stupid idiots aren't accomplishing a thing by tagging the monuments or our federal buildings.

Most protesters don't go around vandalizing during demonstration. But for some reason protests tend to attract hooligans that are just out for kicks. For example just before the Iraq war started there was a huge protest downtown San Francisco; over half the city showed up (500,000 demonstrators). Along with them came 1000 anarchists who were responsible for damaging public property (they broke windows, burned police cars, etc.). Only 1 in 500 made mischief, but that was enough to make the whole movement look bad on TV.

They want to get their point across, but by spray painting and destroying things, they only hurt their cause. If someone is going to protest why don't they just have a peaceful protest, because by spray painting and other criminal activities, they make themselves look like idiots that don't deserve to be listened to. Besides, in the long run they have to pay for what they destroy, in-fact everyone will thru taxes.

I don't know. I do know that if they do they will completely discredit themselves (not that they have much credibility). You did anger Lisa, but she must realize that since they have broadcast these so call protest so widely, they have to take responsibility for whatever happens at them. The grown ups will be a home or doing something productive.

For the American Patriots...
What: Gathering of Eagles
When: March 17th, 2007
0700-1600 (7 AM to 4 PM)
Where: The Vietnam Veteran's Memorial Wall, Washington D.C.
Why: To stand silent guard over our nation's memorials, in honor of our fallen, and in solidarity with our armed forces in harm's way today.
Taken from Mission Statement:
7. We vehemently oppose the notion that it is possible to “support the troops but not the war.” We are opposed to those groups who would claim support for the troops yet engage in behavior that is demeaning and abusive to the men and women who wear our nation’s uniform.

Yeah, I just heard on the news that hundreds of cans of spray paint were confiscated and the police department is stepping up guards in DC

They like to get their little rocks of by exercises in futility. See almost any form of protester is a b*tch by birth. That being that they love to provoke others but go running for the cover of anonymity or some "right" or another. Born c*nts one and all.

Big G beat me to the punch about the Gathering of Eagles. If you can't go, you can sign the "with you in spirit" petition here:

They believe they will make their point, but all they get is public disapproval, even from some of the members of their own team.
