Anti-war Protests??

Up here the prowar-protestors have done nothing unlawful, or despicable merely state their view. The antiwar-protestors have booed a US anthem, burnt a US flag, and attacked a bus full of 8 year olds from new york.

I think protestors in general can get out of hand but up here the score is 3 to 0 in favour of the prowar- protestors. It could be that the groups are smaller and did not confront the antiwar-protestors.

The problem is not everyone is a peace loving war hating protester.

Some are anti-government. Some are anti globalism or anti American. Some are religious or people really against warfare. Some are communist or socialist.

I mean to label them all as "peace" protesters is really a outright scam. I remember a report that showed a lot money funneled in by communist groups.

Then you have pro protesters who will protest america on any soil over any topic. The kind that endorse anarchy and don't mind throwing a rock through a store window. About as peaceful as a sledgehammer.

I dont mind people who are against something for religious or honest views. The kind that can not try to push the police or cause damage. The kind that don't stop traffic in places including ambulances and fire trucks that save lifes. That was beyond repulsive. How would they have felt if it was their loved one that needed that ambulance?

I think some of the protests like that caused a back lash. It only HELPED Bush and not hurt.

If people want to be naive and think people like Hitler could have been stopped with peace and love then so be it. Just do it peacefully. When you obstruct life for normal people or damage property you cross a line. You are then a criminal who deserves the same respect a criminal gets. None
