@CroakerMD Technically the Port is not a military port, therefore it was completely legal for us to occupy there, also we were not trespassing on PUBLIC land, and those orders where not legal as they did not pass a city, state or federal vote and in fact most of their orders defied the constitution.
"a Constitutional nation of laws" Again, the keyword here is law. If you were breaking the law, then the police would be justified in punishing you. You can rationalize anything if the law can be ignored in order to advance the "greater good." This isn't Selma, your not MLK, and this isn't 1965.
You're right croaker, criminals like MLK. The cops overreacted, and lied about why. The protesters have a right to complain, because this isn't China or Cuba, but a Constitutional nation of laws. And also a nation that legally and morally shouldn't be occupying Iraq any longer!Believe in the law, chum?
Hmm, this entire country was built upon dissent and challenging the status quo, you think martin luther king can a damn about trespassing or 'complying with the lawful orders of the police'? Do you think the guys throwing the tea in the ocean at the boston tea party gave a fuck about the 'lawful operation of the port'?
Hmmm. Interfering with the lawful operation of the port? Trespassing? Refusing to comply with the lawful orders of the police? Seems to me you were not "peaceful protesters" after all, but simple criminals.

Oh naturally, the protesters have the right to complain. And I have the right to laugh at them.

Trespassing? If you'll notice, they're BEHIND the barricades.
