They can be against the war all they want to but taking this out on the Marines is not the right way. I hope that they drain the city of all Federal monies and the entire city and its occupants suffer. Next time there is an election hopefully those who were effected by this will remember and vote someone with a bit of common sense into the offices.

Please show me how the beneficiaries of public safety programs, funds to UC Berkeley, a ferry service, and lunches at public schools voted for these Council members or support their actions. Some of them voted for these Council members, I'm sure. Does that mean they support this resolution? You're throwing out the baby with the bathwater.
I never said taking this out on the Marines is right. I disagree with it. Please don't assign a false opinion my way.
Punishing innocent people is a much bigger wrong than a misguided resolution and misguided protests. It's an abuse of power. Two wrongs don't make a right.
