Port Protest as reported by King5---3/10/07

[fairykosmo1]

look closely don't the same people show up that were in Seattle a couple of year behind this for the WEC? Just a thought...

[agent4051]

When law enforcement says leave, you leave.

[Liface]

@agent4051 No, you don't. We don't live in a police state.

[sf0d]

That guy looks like girl. Fag.

and that post was a reply to marinenut68

[lambofrock]

By supporting the troops, they wold support the war. The war is awful I, for one, do not support many of them. Many (NOT ALL) have gone into war as ignorant, Middle Easters hating fools who assume every arab is carrying a gun or bomb. Those are the people I DO NOT support. I support those who want to strive fo peace, those who peacefully strive for it. Maybe you shouldn't be so close-minded....America's government and police force and military ain't so great nowadays.

[JohnHasSeriousQ]

International Communism would provide jobs, healthcare and education for ALL!

[VS24AT]

?

I thought they went out of buisness when the wall came down.

[docwatson223]

Communism doesn't work because it fails to address human greed.

'Some animals are more equal than others' isn't a way to run a society. :/

[JohnHasSeriousQ]

Greed is a learnt behavior!

[navymexican]

Yeah man just like breathing, and crying about things you don't like.

[queny2]

I put a soldier into someone else's country, because of a lie. I make him go again & again where the lie put him & he may be maimed or killed. I use him as an aggressive diplomacy and propaganda tool. I bring the forces into global disrespect. When the soldier is maimed, I leave him without proper care, when he is killed, I hide his body as cargo. I am the president, and I support the troops.

[zaggg0n]

there is no god

[zoddie]

you vote representatives (other people) to run this country, you directly dont run it, only affect it in your own small pathetic way. and once again..protesters..represent yourselfs..dont represent the vast majority who dont share your beliefs..because its misleading to other people that dont know any better. also..the 2 morons who went on fox news made total fools of themselves, there went your 15 minutes at the expense of our troops and my tax dollars.

[zoddie]

just like how blacks are discriminated againts.. when its 10% of the population that are responsible for all of black related crime, yet people see it as if its the entire race...a bad seed ruins the whole bunch, these specific protesters dont even represent 1% of anyone, and 100% of purely themselves..sorry, small polls and talking to a few people doesnt mean everyone.

[zoddie]

these *minorities* in USA who get press coverage to make it seem like it represents everyone, when in fact it does not....wont sing the same song..when terrorist are at their front door beheading their relatives..and its total chaos, and planes are hitting buildings..oh wait..9/11 already happened...ummm...interesting.

[Acumensch]

Haha. Not sure if that was an argument or a murmur.

[surferray69]

You mean terrorists like Timothy Mcveigh,Terry Nichols,Ted Bundy,Jeffrey Dahmer,Son of Sam ,unabommber,and John wayne Gacy to name a few.

I live in nyc and was there on 9/11.Stop using it to hide behind your cowardice.Your pathetic,but as a Marine I protected your right to spew your garbage.

[zoddie]

I wish all these protesters would go to Jorda, Iraq, ,Afghanista and protest to the sects who've been murdering people longer then the U.S has existed and talk about give piece a chance. I wanna see how the terrorist would react to this demonstration...you should stay off the streets, and Not block anybodys way while *Peacefully protesting and cussing at the police. Just a tip.

[possum425]

I would truly like to thank all those who went to the port of Tacoma and had to endure the cruelty at the hands of the police, I am afraid Tacoma police have had a Rather speckled past when it comes to violence and cover ups look up Chief of police David Brame some time, any way I am with you protesters all the way stop the WAR!

[ayub359]

Thank you very much for your hard-work and dedication ! Thankyou for the time that you took to record these videos, convert them and upload them. God bless you for that, my friend !

I am very much sad to see some of these people with dummy accounts, they have no videos uploaded. They just go around saying dirty, vulgar words. Surely their mommies shall be disgusted when they see what they are doing ! However, you keep up the good-work and Stand up for the truth !

[grangersmith]

How can you believe the police they are obviously corrupt. Using their political agenda and power to discredit the protestors, not to mention hurting them. We need to clean this corrupt police dept up.

[Coalbunny]

Since college students can fford video equipment, and anyone that went to college knows how financially destitute most students are (LOL!), why didn't the police have a video camera on their end? Talk is cheap, but videos give facts.

[Acumensch]

Actually, Coalbunny, the police did have videos.

[Coalbunny]

If so, then let's see these "acts" that ok'd the cops to use force against unarmed civilians.

[Charlie8417]

"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." ~Benjamin Franklin

Every single person in this country should be fighting to take back the simple and God given rights we once had. Its sad to think about where our country is currently and where it is heading...

[raultalbot7]

I wish a few of the protesters would come out to our base (Fort Bliss Texas). We'd love to show them what a real war is like. We have a few new weapons for crowd control that we'd like to test out before using them on Iraqi's.

[Charlie8417]

You're an idiot. They're no proclaiming they're fighting in a war. Also any crowd control weapons you may have are already tested on willing subjects. Since you say you want to test 'em out shows that you're too stupid to read directions and listen to instructors. Thus anybody would be an even bigger fool to let you get your hands on one.

[WorldxWidexSuicide]

It's people like you who give the armed forces a bad name.

Please stop posting stupid comments.

You are indeed an idiot.

[queny2]

I know, Iraqis, American citizens, its all the same to you soldier, you're just waiting for the order. Maybe rape a few too before you kill them, if they are say 14 years old or so?

[TTKALPHA]

hippy Jew hating leftists getting gassed! AWESOME. Anti-semites 0, patriots 1

[queny2]

George Bush, welcome to Youtube!

[myfavoriteauthor]

i saw more than a few pigs with video cameras, shouldn't they have footage of someone "throwing a saw horse"?

[Acumensch]

Yes the police had their own cameras. So where's their footage of the barricades thrown? Excellent point.

[vudukungfu]

Pigs with guns.

nothing to see here, move along.

[VS24AT]

...SO much for "supporting the troops" by

preventing the armor they need to stay alive

moonbats infest the left coast !

[Caroline8379]

Someone isn't paying attention:

The brigade that the vehicles being loaded onto the ship belongs to in still here in WA state. If their stryker vehicles aren't loaded and sent, the brigade can't be sent over either.

You probably aren't paying attention because you do not care. You would rather stick to your view instead of listening to someone else's.

[VS24AT]

Must be something in the left coast latte that causes your pretzel logic thinking eh ?

[brennan62]

protest is an american right, but get a permit like everyone else. civil disobedience is also an american tradition, go to jail like Thoreau did in 1848 or MLK did. Remember your civil disobedience is righteous, what about those that want to sit in in front of abortion clinic's? civil disobedience is a double edged sword and the willingness to pay the price is what makes it so powerful, but I do agree they shouldn't have used gas

[raibanubba]

being forced to get a permit is a violation of the amendment, "congress shall make NO law"...restricting freedom of speech or assembly. if there is a possibility of being denied a permit then there is a law being made that restricts freedom of speech..if not, then what is the need for one?

[brennan62]

so do you think the pro life proteters have the right to block abortion clinics?

[zoddie]

what happens at abortion clinics is their business even if I dont share the view point, and yeah they have a right to protest just as much as these anti-war people do..I never said they couldnt protest, I"m againts their tactics and how they try to portray the police and make something out of anything they can to get TV time. its pathetic, and only makes them look like even more jackasses.

[brennan62]

i do not think they have the right to protest anytime or where they want. Right Left let your voice be heard but if they wanted to lay down in I5 at rush hour I would hope they would be hauled off fast. remember the wto political correctness run amok. Personally I think they are self indulgent wana be's. there is principled opposition to the war this isn't it. but that still doesn't mean they should have been gassed

[Acumensch]

LOL!! @queny2

how are are ppl talking about pro-life/choice?

Speaking of that. You're supposed to be allowed to protest right next to an abortion clinic, correct? The idea is that you have a right to try to persuade people going into the clinic, correct?

Anti-war protesters, on the other hand, weren't even allowed to be in sight of the Stryker units or the troops loading them.

Hypocrisy anyone?

[marinenut68]

Your a complete idiot!!! THESE HIPPIES ARE NOT SUPPORTING THE TROOPS!!!! CHRISTTTT!!!!

[Acumensch]

And you ignored my point. Thanks.

[queny2]

I think you are honest and brave calling yourself a nut.

[gmr4300]

Wow. You are perhaps the biggest idiot I've ever seen here. And I've seen those Nazis that seem to cangregate around Cannibal Corpse videos.

[queny2]

really? I must check those posts out. I've never seen anyone cangregate before.

[gmr4300]

Oh, sorry, I was talking about marinenut. Sorry for the confusion.

[queny2]

That's cool Will, happens a lot the way these youtube threads are set up. I did get to check out a new band anyway. I particularly liked the clip with those Metal heads vs some kind of French Brittany Spears.

[supportusa]

That's right- footage will show the lying hippocrites attacking and provoking police who were forced to take action and uphold the law. If you don't like the way this country is run why don't you do us all a favor and go to another country? How about one where you have no rights and they will shoot you for acting so obnoxious and rediculous?

[raibanubba]

everyone there saw the kid pick up the "saw horse", one kid, one time. he did not throw it. it seemed to me that he was ready to use it as a shield, because the police had just aimed their guns at his face. please stop lying because its fucking immature and rude!

[Caroline8379]

Why are people so set in their assumptions?

[Liface]

Caroline, you're talking about a guy who's youtube name is "supportusa". He's not even worth debating.

[zoddie]

thats what I've been saying..if its so horrible here, and they cant keep a dam job and dont have the balls to server the country and be patriotic..there is plenty of other countries, where they have as much pride as saddam hussein had for his own people. I could use the leg room seriously.

[Liface]

The "like america or leave" argument is so cliched that it's not even worth responding to. Think about what you're saying. Seriously.

[zoddie]

is it cliched because its always repeated? or because the people that arent patriotic and always againts their own government still havent left? Hippies are to america, was radical islam is to the true islams who practice their religion. a pain in the ass.

[Liface]

That's probably one of the worst analogies I've ever seen. A better example, reactionaries:america::radical islamists:islamists.

You make war protesters out to be unpatriotic, but they're not. Speaking out against the way your country is going is one of the most patriotic statements one can make.

[zoddie]

how are you patriotic when you hinder other more productive people then yourselfs from getting to work and make it harder for everyone to do their job regarding this war, the decision of whether those strykers and what happens with the war isnt up to them and they cannot change it, its up to the people who run this country, they were sent and we will continue, bottom line...speaking out is a right given to you by patriotic americans, not the other way around.

[raibanubba]

"of the people, by the people, and for the people"

arent we supposed to run this country?

[queny2]

My Country right or wrong, my mom drunk or sober.

[Acumensch]

If anyone should know this, the cameras would. Why are these police lying to everyone so blatantly? No one threw barricades at all.

[ramblini]

throwing barricades my ass

[Acumensch]

EXACTLY. Footage exposing this untruth will be up shortly.
