capitol steps anti-war protest

[WorldAgainstUSA]

"Washington, Jan 26 (Reuters) - The cost to U.S. taxpayers of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan since 2001 has topped $1 trillion, and President Barack Obama is expected to request another $33 billion to fund more U.S. troops this year."

wow! U.S. spends too much money on wars!

It would be nice if they actually cared and weren't doing it for fun.

no justice no peace is how it ought to be. this government is BULLDOZING US and were upset that a few kids broke out their fucking spray paint cans? people are DYING because of our policies. the whole capital should be painted RED and remain that way until this shit stops.

[karlaelisa]

SDS and black bloc are the only ones energizing these protests. they challenge authority and with all the police cameras rolling i'd have put a bandana on my face too if i'd had one. i was right in the mix, it was peaceful. no justice, no peace.

[VirgilioLeon]

Lots of dirty black sweatshirts and covered faces... I WONDER IF SOMETHING BAD WILL HAPPEN... has anyone else noticed that something bad happens whenever people "Black bloc" at protests?

[theman472]

I was there!!! ^_^

[Unslovedaudio]

what is this a rage against the machine rally ,o lets wave some sos flags and act like we have some thing to say ,

[monomonkey31]

Are you gonna bark all day little doggies or are you gonna bite?

[ToniCipriani2]

Mr. President I'll give you $50 if you drop a couple of MOAB(Mother Of All Bombs) on a bunch of anti-war protesters!

[WhatCrass]

We'll if they dropped the bomb there, wouldn't that take out pretty much half of DC?

[Coma35]

You're freakin' idiot, just like your 'son of a Bush' president, Georgie. These people are exercising their rights as citizens of the USA. However, you, like your fascist president, would like to shut them up. Wake up!

[MrBennetzen]

If Bush Did that he should have a good supply of body bags!

[HareKrishnaAlex]

MASS ACTIONS on Sat., March 17

Washington, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, Seattle, and other cities.

AGANIST THE WAR~ TAKE ACTION ON THE 17TH!

REPOST EVERYWHERE~

[panicitsme]

These anti americans should live in another country if they hate it here so much. But they don't because in other countries, they might get their heads lopped off for what they do here.

[travelsonic]

Criticizing != hating a country, and only the biggest bigots fail to see this. Maybe you should take your own advice since you like to hate people exercising their rights when you disagree, especially when judged based on a minority extremity.

[greghouse131]

Thank you ! panicitsme, fuckin islami bitches hate our country so much, yet where do they fucking live? IN OUR FUCKIN COUNTRY! damn dumbass speds should go back to their own countries.

[TheREALBoris]

but as you see, you are in the MINORITY here, caus most people who truly love america, KNOW that Muslims have a right to live here. I am an american Muslim. I LOVE america, and i know that people of ALL persuasions have a right to live here, and people who dont like war have every right to protest. perhaps if youdont like FREEDOM you are the one who should leave america?

[TheREALBoris]

since WHEN did not agreeing with a war mean you hate america? that makes NO sense. if you LOVE your country, you will stand up for what you believe in, and stop oppression and intolerance. you want to oppress peoples right to speak out? well, you may be shirking your duty as an american then? if you dont agree, fine. but to say they should leave their OWN country that they love? you need to think on that a bit.

[DiscoSux87]

most of us there were not Anarchists... we remained peaceful. some of the people on both sides tried to escalate the situation. but we took back public property and that is all we wanted.

[stewarto88]

exactly. thanks.

[zanneke666]

@DiscoSux87 do u know what anarchist means ?-

[Timerider3]

Good to know we had a black bloc group there

[SolidusSnake69]

Tomorrow how bout I go to all of your houses and spray paint some grafitti supporting our troops? Lucky I wasnt posted there. Sorry but you guys are really pushing your "peaceful rallies". Defacing government property isnt what id call peaceful, more like criminal.

[karlaelisa]

Solidus, we were LUCKY you weren't posted there?? What's the matter, somebody take your riot gear away for the day?

This was a peaceful rally and by god, I hope they DON'T remain as passive as this one was. Till our Decider is investigated and indicted for war crimes and this bullshit agenda he has is thwarted we aren't going anywhere. Get used to us. NO JUSTICE, NO PEACE, US OUT OF THE MIDDLE EAST!

[SolidusSnake69]

You can have your rallies and whatnot, but when it comes to defacing government property, especially our Capitol, that crosses over to criminal actions in my book. Doubt you all are even thinking about the troops morale. SURE does raise mine when I see people being allowed to deface government property.

[m0bi]

That's funny, I've heard alot of people come back from Iraq who wanted to do WAY MORE than 'deface government property'. Not to mention there have been some fraggings already, but that is down-played in the media.

[iamniki]

I was in the first chunk of people that charged up the lawn onto the steps and ripped down that little fake fence they had put up. im somewhere in that crowd but i cant clearly see myself or my friends. awesome day

[stewarto88]

how did it happen? i would love to have seen the beginning. i saw you all running up the hill. was it a plan or did it just happen?

[karlaelisa]

cops always expect the Anarchists to confront them. these are the folks with the energy and the guts to draw attention to our cause. we need non violent civil disobedience, sit ins, boycotts to achieve our goal. a quiet bunch of under reported protesters that are minimized aren't going to change a thing. great job, keep the videos and pics comin!

[karldpeters]

Yeah. I think so too. But I'm a little confused as to what paint would do. Drain a few hours overtime to pay maintenence to clean it up?

[karlaelisa]

i was at the top and saw the group break and run up the hill, it was inspiring. great chants and alot of graffiti afterwards. we were suprised the cops were so low key given the paint fumes...ha

[stewarto88]

check out the article in "the hill" as reported on the drudge report website. seems like others are puzzled. The police knew they were coming...i have so many great shots from that whole day.thanks for the comment.

[tyr78]

I'm a little surprised the cops didn't trash the camera.

[stewarto88]

no doubt. but then again there were so cameras many whose first? let freedom and peace ring.

[ZupoFilms]

like what you captured in this video but if people see it, it will hurt the movement because people in the middle of the road dont want to identify their political views with the anarchist party

[stewarto88]

everyone involved showed immaculate restraint. i was having lunch on the terrace with my son. next thing you know...and as the video shows there were all walks of life in that crowd.

[karldpeters]

I disagree. It only hurts the movement if we let the authoritarian crapagandists distract us from the subject.

Hey Bushbots, we got your number and you're crapping your pants at that show of resistance from We the People. Good try. Not biting. What's Bush's plan? Still none? Pity.

[sheepblitzer]

"the anarchist party." haha good one

[DominoEffect8993]

@sheepblitzer "U.S. government" even better one!

[DDRSkata]

Haha, I can see me and my buds. Gnar.

[DiscoSux87]

I was there... it was so intense when we pushed the cops all the way from behind the stage to the capitol steps. I am surprised they were so peaceful... well except when they were driving there motorcycles straight into the crowd.
