Counterprotest in Berkeley

| March 23, 2008

Eagles Up emailed me the link to pictures of yesterday’s counterprotest at the recruiting station in Berkeley at Protest Shooter.

These are from Saturday, March 22nd, at the USMC Officer Selection Office in Berkeley. There was a massive pro-troop rally. Eagles Up paid for the permit (code pink has one for free from the city council), but there were members from a variety of organizations including Move America Forward, and the Patriot Guard Riders. There were also regulars, like a group of Berkeley High School students who come by regularly to support the troops, and local folks active on conservative forums like Free Republic.

It looks like being an anti-war protester is losing it’s luster. Good job, folks.

More photos and narrative at Melanie Morgan‘s blog. Michele Malkin calls it “The Counterinsurgency in Berkeley” . Skye at Midnight Blue is still holding back the hippie hordes in West Chester County, PA.

Well, this past Saturday, I took two hits for the team from a peace protester.

I have personally met both of those trolls on your YouTube channel. One is, John Grant, is a regular attendee of the West Chester Rally. He was attempting to videotape my details as I was relating them to the police officer at the scene of the assault yesterday. I had to stop the report and give it later at the WC police station.

Pond scum has better character than these two.

If it was a true account of the assault, why not just ask for a copy of the video taping for record keeping purposes? Just asking.

Even Pond scum can be useful at times.

Cheers!

Okay, let me allow a third party to capture on video details of my home address and contact information. Why would you believe they would just give up a copy of this video?

What were you saying about pond scum???

That’s not a car, it’s a 55 Chevy Pick Up restored as only a Californian can do it.
