I think they should be arrested BEFORE they ever reach the Naval Station
This is America my friend. We don't arrest people for a crime before said crime has even happened. This is 2003, not Minority Report.
Yes but people here protest wars before they happen.
Yeah...like there was any doubt it was gonna happen. Not only that, but people have rallies for war...that is equally intelligent.
Interesting attitudes around here...you all seem to forget the principles this country was founded on. Oh wait...this is AT...nevermind.
dahunan-
Why do you get so worked up over protests? You are aware that several
peaceful protests happen too right? You seem to have this idea that protesting this war or government in any shape or form is wrong and illegal. Do you forget that we have the right to peacfully voice our displeasure with the government and it's policies in this country. We are constantly hearing about these idiots who cross the line and make the news, but there are several people in this country that protest the war for whatever reason and still fully support our troops 100%. Just because these people say they will do this is not grounds to arrest them. The local authorities are likely aware of this planned action, and will be there in case they follow through with what they are saying they will do. If that happens, they will be arrested and/or removed and things will go on.
I really don't understand this general feeling that if you protest against this war or government, in a peaceful manner, and obey all local laws, you are somehow anti-american or not supporting the troops. As is the case with both sides, there are idiots who get all the attention and hurt the message they are supposedly trying to get across.
