Student Walkout Portland Oregon 3/20/08

[OmegablueWolf]

'i didn't vote' okay so shut up and don't complain - if you don't vote then your voice doesn't count, because you didn't say "i don't support either of you fools". if you voted then you can complain because you at least gave some effort to trying to solve the problem.

I didnt vote for the two main parties ...I DID voter for Ralph Nader!

Plus even if one "Doesnt Vote" they still have a voice, in my opinion. The Voting System in America is scandalous... I still do vote...but I fully can see why its almost irrelevant. People who are making change in America shouldnt be graded or awarded based on if they "voted" or not!

[OmegablueWolf]

you should vote though - but honestly the popular vote should be what counts - and every one who votes should be counted.

So where are the PDX walkouts now that Obama is killing kids in Afghanistan?

Or do you only protest American imperialism when it's conducted by Republicans?

[zebra334]

v1m you raise a very good question.

i dint vote for the duopoly Obama choice for I could see the writing on the wall. The war(s) rage on .... and yet America public sips latte's and go to sporting events and sleeps peacefully as children die. Thank You for bringing up a very excellent point!

[v1m]

I made the same decision, zebra, not to vote for either half of the duopoly.

It grieves me the peace movement in large measure has forgotten its voice. Has, as you say, got on with its lattes.

Thanks for your thoughtful reply. Peace!

Another reason I love Portland.

[pillonsin]

i wonder what happens after this.. like the next day of school. their all like .. "so what did you do last night"

"oh nothing.. just sore a lil"

[zebra334]

what are you talking about ?

1000 students in the streets for "NO WAR"

and you have some snarkey comment about being sore the next day? WTF?

[thinkagainangelica]

i was there...

i saw me like 5 times

that was life changing

[Dissolution241]

Man, you guys did wonders! Changed my perspective, changed whats happening! Honestly, you did not accomplish anything nor will you. Just an excuse to skip school, waaaaaahhhh, waaaaahhhhh. Fucking idiots.

[filippioss]

I would do a drive-by

[zebra334]

what an idiot!

dumb f* filipposs just got his ass banned from commenting on my YouTube page

Where do these idiots come from?

Do us all a favor and "Drive On Out of Here"

[youreallalone]

That is awesome! Thanks for posting! I didn't see myself, I saw my friends though... =) Nice job!

[zebra334]

probably for "minor cahrges" and were treated very badly huh?

[binladen492]

3 of my friends got arrested at that walkout.

[zinn627]

shit binladen, I wonder why

[zebra334]

shit ..probably just jaywalking if you want my opinion. And that "crime" happens all day long downtown....yet I dont ever see anyone getting arrested for it ...unless your a student protesting for peace!

[formweaver]

An amazing amount of footage. That's as peacefula group of citizens as you could want...concerned, passionate about the welfare of other humans... too bad you can't say that about our cops!

[RingedPuncher]

yay! i saw me like five times!!!

[zinn627]

it was a mix of good/bad, cuz while there were good points/questions askd (dude w/ black hat especially). But a lot of stupid immature assholes shouting "fuck the police, we want peace" + other stuff - not the point at all, it cheapened the ideals/supported bad stereotype of marches. i was there (black kid blue coat at 2:31) i saw 1 of the dumb shits got arrested, he jwalked right into traffic nd some friendly cop tried to stop him he insulted/fought. dumb shit bad press defeats point of PEACE

[chaoskrouzer]

Make Love After War

[chaoskrouzer]

WAR is AWESOME!

[Jazzzzzzzzzzzzzin]

I love how it ends with someone asking "is this the end of the march?"

"no, this is the beginning."

and shit yeah it was. This was probably one of the best things that I have ever participated in.

[bottleddissent]

I'm pumped for part 2, is it coming soon? I was there for the wall scaling, but missed any arrests.

[twohseven]

I was there, there wasn't really a thousand kids, but there was a lot and it was really rad that students can pull this off.

We need more things like this! ALL OVER the WORLD

[PeaceProfit]

You*Are - The*People the World has been waiting for . . .

N.O.W.

[seenthelight2times]

This is the Voice of the People. I just cried when I watched this!

WE The People Want PEACE NOW!

Thank you everyone who Walked for peace.

[Chiruy1]

Thank you for your support!

And we, the students appreciate that people like you support us. This was great fun for me and many

[waterenvelope]

omg I could see me and alot of my friends in this one!

[Chiruy1]

YEA!!!! FUCK YES!!

That was the best time of my life!!

So much fun!!

I hope more student organizations make more Walkouts like this. This moved my mom to tears that this many kids came out to do this. I was in the middle of this and in the front later, but still, really fun!!
