I wanted to see first hand what was going at the Marine recruiting station, so I went to Berkeley...I was surprised to find high school students protesting the recruitment on the steps of UC Berkeley campus! I have never seen such young activists!

I was able to interview some bystanders, protestors, and a Berkeley Police Sargeant about their views that day. I find that reporting on these events has made me a better listener...a skill that probably the whole world could use a little more of!

Whether or not you agree with the protests taking place in front of the recruiting station, I hope that by sharing these interviews, you may have a little more insight to the thinking process behind the actions happening there.

  • easy just cut govt funding...pussies come crawling back

  • The whole state of California is in a dillusional "kum-ba-ya" worldview bubble. If you're a Californian that doesn't subscribe to their way of thinking I don't know how you do it. If you get tired of it, your welcome to come to Texas. We understand the meaning of pride, sacrifice, loyalty, and patriotism...its in our state's history in our struggle for independence and permeates throughout our culture. Plus we have a low cost of living.

  • They wanted to join the army but the fag law wasn't yet repelled

  • @Brutus0723 damn straight! whoraw

  • taking your friends, an all volunteer force taking your friends? they signed up because they fight for their right, you didn't so go fuck yourself... hard to pull out? obviously your father had the same problem

  • ur all fucking fags!

  • HA! That's not actually a recruiting office!

  • Ok people calm down first of all you are not obliged to join the marines it is done completely on ones own accord and secondly all the protesters are just a group of hypcondrical little children. Grow up

  • People forgot thousands of Americans Died because of radical veiws. Its their radical veiws as well that will get thousands more killed. Dont hate the troops, Hate your government than move to Canada. Your not welcome here. And your welcome for your right to free speach...which was given to you over the blood spilt by Americans.

  • They should try to give a terrorist a hug.

  • This is ironic. These people are protesting against people who are willing to defend their right to protest them. I could see why these kids would be mad if there was a draft, but people have a choice now to be a civilian or a soldier. The recruiters didn't start this war, they're just doing their job. If you don't like the way America defends itself, take yourself to congress, or to somewhere else. Love it or leave it. If you agree with me, subscribe to my channel.

  • Why are these dumb asses protesting, the USMC does not force people to join, you go in on your on free will.
