PullinFool Posted February 13, 2003 Posted February 13, 2003 (edited) Starting at 11:30, I have heard, at the Seattle Center Fountain, going to INS via Federal building... No peacenik myself, this feels like a good cause. P.S. I heard they declined the New York permit for this due to "fear of terrorism". The restriction sounds terror enough. Whoops, sorry! Didn't check the posts. my bad - that why I still a gumby... Edited February 13, 2003 by PullinFool Quote
mattp Posted February 13, 2003 Posted February 13, 2003 Haven't you heard? Fairweather has called off the peace march. Quote
Greg_W Posted February 13, 2003 Posted February 13, 2003 I'm betting that if it goes off, it won't be peaceful and not too many people will actually march. A bunch of morons who mistakenly believe that it is their 'right' to clog streets without consequences will make trouble and then blame it on the cops. For those of you that get gassed or clubbed, you probably deserved it. Trask and I will be there selling Tom Daschle voodoo dolls and fake patchouli oil. Quote
allthumbs Posted February 13, 2003 Posted February 13, 2003 I'm going to be there in my Mattel riot gear, kicking ass on destructive dissenters. Break a window in my favorite city - I break your head. Quote
Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted February 13, 2003 Posted February 13, 2003 Ah, yes, the beautiful right-wing sentiment that property and the right to shop are worth far more than human life. Keep up the good work for your corporate masters, boys; they'll see that you have a comfortable generic box in suburbia within driving distance of a shopping center, and all the genetically-engineered, artificially-preserved food you can cram down your paranoid little throats.

The truth is that anyone with a personal opinion that differs from that of Greg_W is a moron. To believe in freedom, and the right to gather peacefully is a mistaken belief, and to think otherwise will result in physical violence (and that violence is deserved). And in keeping with the time honored and rewarded value of deceit, you would intentionally take advantage of people by selling snake oil. Quote

cracked Posted February 13, 2003 Posted February 13, 2003 Ironic how 'peace' marches so often become violent. Quote

Â If they want to protest go do it in some public park and out of the streets. Â Let the clubbing begin Quote
mattp Posted February 13, 2003 Posted February 13, 2003 Cracked- When was the last time that a peace march in Seattle, or anywhere in the U.S. for that matter, turned violent? And when was the time before that? Quote

Â Yeah, 'cause peace is a stupid and worthless ideal, and the only way to solve problems is by laying waste to human lives and tearing countries apart. God forbid that humans would have figured out how to be civilized by now. Quote
chucK Posted February 13, 2003 Posted February 13, 2003 If they want to protest go do it in some public park and out of the streets. Â I agree, in this case anyway. Stopping the traffic is a way to get a lot of attention to causes that noone knows much about (gets on the news where it wouldn't otherwise). For this situation, everyone already knows what's going on, unless they live in a hole or something. This cause is guaranteed to get airplay and a march that does not inconvenience commuters will still demonstrate the numbers that are against the war. So there does not seem to be a reason or need to stop traffic. Â That said, they (we?) are NOT trying to stop traffic right? The march is on a Saturday and travels through an area gridded with parallel streets. No problems. Quote

jkrueger Posted February 13, 2003 Posted February 13, 2003 Perhaps their intent is to stop traffic, or threaten to stop traffic, thereby decreasing our need for oil. Quote

Go stand with pickets on the sidewalk for all I care. Just stay out of the streets. Shit there was a protest on the streets months ago. They created some unnecessary traffic issues. Â Everyone already knows about the issue. Quote

People have the right to exercise their personal freedom, but it shouldn't interfere with the personal freedom of others. Quote
iain Posted February 13, 2003 Posted February 13, 2003 waste of time driving downtown anyway. downtown is for bikes. Quote
E-rock Posted February 13, 2003 Posted February 13, 2003 The Seattle/Portland Peace Brigade  That's funny, that's exactly what I imagine Dwayner would expect "serious" protesters to look like. I hope everyone goose steps on Saturday. That'll sway the right-wingers. Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted February 13, 2003 Posted February 13, 2003 waste of time driving downtown anyway. downtown is for bikes. Â I'll take your comments into consideration when you come join me for that commute to downtown. Until then it's full of shit. Quote
