| Anti-America Anti-War Pot Smokers vs pro-Marine confrontation begins early in Berkeley.... |
| 2008-02-13 |
| "This violent reaction of our anti-war forces shows how threatened we are by Americans fighting for Marines, " said Zanne Joi, a Code Pink activist. "We trust the council will be swayed by this vicious left-wing attack. I need a fix real bad! Anyone holding?" To accommodate tonight's expected crowd of protesters and reporters, the city will broadcast the meeting outside on speakers. Oh this will go well Move America Forward is already unhappy with what council members are not planning to do - rescinding four other items the council passed that are seen as a swipe at the Marines. Really? Those items asked the city attorney to investigate whether the Marines are violating city law prohibiting discrimination based on sexual orientation; ... Guess Berkley city hall trumps Federal law now, on their planet... ... urged people to 'impede' the recruiting work of the Marines in Berkeley; and gave Code Pink a free parking space and sound permit to protest once a week in front of the recruiting station. It's OK we're city approve seditionists Meanwhile, union workers are protesting a move to put restrictions on Pacific Steel Casting, which many in Berkeley blame for a persistent odor. Tree huggers taking the the Marines and Union boys. Guess pot is stronger now a days All that for a meeting space with a capacity of 123. |

| #13 It would just tickle the Holy Shit out of me to find that due to "Budget Cuts" th Bezerkley Mayor is forced to call in the Marines to patrol the town, afer all the cops are fired from "Lack of funds" (Well, I can dream, can't I?) |

| #11 Better: unlease supporters of the Marines. I personally have a big pile of pissed-off left over from the treatment of our vets during Nam, not to mention fresher anger over the 9/11 Troothies and all that has happened since. I suspect I'd not be alone in beating the shit out of the pinkies. |

| #9 If the Feds yank all that money, you could probably fire every Berkeley cop and let Code Pink handle the job for all the fuckin good the PD appears to be doing... |

| #3 request to Canadian leaders to grant sanctuary for U.S. war resisters. Oh, they mean deserters! Canuckian gummint says: "Ya'll shit out of luck, we don't grant sanctuary to AWOLers." |

| #2 Looks like a city council sponsored circus all done in support of their code pinko fellow travelers. Doesn't look like anything of substance is going to be achieved. In the meantime, I hear some right thinking companies are pulling their money out of Berkeley. Way to go Berkeley, sealed in a pit of their of their own filth. Given their hygene habits, they prolly can't tell the difference. Thanks for the boilermaker TW...hit the spot! |

| #1 Also on the council's agenda... At Tuesday night's council meeting, Berkeley politicians will also consider measures that would condemn the construction of a wall along the U.S.-Mexican border as well as a request to Canadian leaders to grant sanctuary for U.S. war resisters. |
