Marine Corps supporters and detractors arguing in Berkeley

This video was taken at the Code Pink/Marine Corps protest in Berkeley on February 12, 2008. It is part of a larger report to be found at http://www.zombietime.com/berkeley_marines_2-12-2008/

In this video, a Marine mom argues with a Code Pink supporter about the right of the Marine Corps to have a recruitment office in Berkeley. The Marine mom scores logical point after logical point, but her opponent doesn't seem to grasp that he's losing the argument. Then a spinoff dispute breaks out between two bystanders; a young anti-military activist declares that since the Marines supporters are in the minority in Berkeley, they should have no rights, since minorities have no rights in America. Another bystander tries to point out to him how completely illogical that argument is on several levels, but again is met with incomprehension.

When the two ideological sides weren't separated by the police, arguments of this sort erupted every few minutes somewhere or other in the park.

@alav3rg4 In truth those guys are not arguing for freedom, they are arguing for Mob Rule. That my friend is not nor will ever be freedom. And Freedoms are protected by Legal Rights. Further proof that guy is either not being honest and/or has not a clue what he is talking about.

@USMCRazorbacks Yeah, funny how they do not do that before they go out and "bravely" attack recruiting centers for the Armed Services, namely the Marine Recruiting Center in Berkley. Did you see the one where the Berkley Police refused to remove those whackos blocking and harassing people trying to get into the Recruiting Center there?

HA someone in Berkeley talking about freedom? If he really knew or cared what freeedom was about then he would respect the freedom of those who want the opportunity to join the Marines. This man was not advocating freedom, he was advocating fascism and calling it freedom.

IT IS THE SOLDIER It is the Soldier, not the Reporter, who has given us Freedom of the Press. It is the Soldier, not the Poet, who has given us Freedom of Speech. It is the Soldier, not the Lawyer, who has given us the Right to a Free Trial. It is the Soldier, who salutes the Flag, who serves under the Flag, and whose coffin is draped by the Flag, who allows the Protestor to burn the Flag. Author Unknown
