I can't believe the restraint shown...Berkeley

Seems to me folks looking for the opportunity to bounce some Berkeley skull would have beat feet to get there. Not saying it would have been the right thing to do, but I'm shocked it didn't happen. Or maybe it did but there's no tape? I would have at least snuck in a "purple nurple" on one of the morons

Even though I am completely opposed to the war in Iraq, those loonies were begging for an old fashioned ass-whipping. If I had known that was happening, it would have been fun to send in my 83 year old dad. He would have cleared the sidewalk in no time. Guaranteed.

The "gender neutral" cop was a joke. Refusing to enforce the law. Good God, it this how low we have sunk?

They were lucky I didn't need to get in there, because there would have been some real bleeding liberals. And then maybe that pathetic cop would have something to do.

At 5'8", I have never been a brawler, but had I been there, I would have ended up swinging (and probably would have ended up in jail).

Isn't that just what those protesters wanted? Video, news coverage etc? If I ran that center, I just would have posted up at a Micky D's (Free Wi-Fi) and let them stand there alone or until they got bored. Really ridiculous.

Please stay away. thanks. Let the law work its way. Just what we need is a bunch of loonies beating some peace protestors. You really see yourself as a goon beating up peaceful protestors. Go get some therapy.

If they are violating a law, let those who need to file a complaint, file a complaint, and then let the police follow the law.

Excuse me? "Let the law work?" When is it going to start? It sure is not being enforced in this case!

These radicals need a couple of 80 year old Marines to come in and clean the sidewalk of them, and it would take about 3 seconds.

They then need to be enlisted in the Marines for at least 2 years. The education they received would be wonderful!

again, just what the marines need is a video showing highly trained killers attacking peace protestors.

good 6 o'clock tv. man, get a grip and learn how to defuse a situation instead of encouraging escalation

so who filed a complaint? if no complaint filed, the police were just trying to defuse the situation.

without any confrontation , this is not even worth a news station airing it.

oh man. How did those guys just not whoop their butts? I can tell about hitting the old ladies, which is just a no-no. But, if a middle aged guy gets in my way he'd be going to the concrete.

btw, what are they blockading?

looked like a smashing opportunity to test the tazer

couple of warnings, if they still resist, zap


i'm not pro-war, but if somebody voluntary wants to go in there to sign 4-6 years of life and potentially all of his life, sanity or some limbs away,
then that's his business, ain't no law that says you can't be stupid...

Simple,
They were not only blocking the entrance but also the exit of a public building and that my freinds is a fire hazzard and yes against the law (sissy cop should do his f'n job).
If it was a gay black woman from mexico being forced to speak american english in public you can bet every one in a mile would be in cuffs on racial hate crime charges.

This **** pis$'s me off.

An "accidental" elbow to the nose is just what the doctor ordered there.

Did you even watch the video? The guy went right up to the officer and complained that his lawful entrance to the building was being blocked. This was not a peace protest it was physical denial of access.

That’s what I heard. Even if that was not the owner complaining, the cop (if he would put his pot down and pull the flower out of his a$$) should "move" the offenders (too much PC in this country.
What ever happened to “only the strong survive, natural selection of the fittest and all that“?

Since when does a Police officer need a complaint to filed before he upholds a law. Sounds good though...the next time I get pulled over for something, I'll just say...Sorry officer, unless someone filed a complaint, you cant give me a ticket.

And as for a Marine kicking there ***. They can sit back and watch, we need to give them a break after all they have done for us.

An attorney friend of mine won the case for Cracker Barrel when queer nation & act up decided they would show up in a similar fashion & shut stores down. I believe Luke Sissyfag was one of the "protesters."
