C'mon...gimme a break already

Approximately 10,000 people marched in Washington D.C. this past Saturday in an effort to stop the Iraq War. The usual suspects were there - the chick from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show", "Barbarela", and "Spicoli" from "Fast Times at Ridgemont High."

Lost on what appears to be either an ignoramus society - or at least a naive one, is the fact that "Spicoli", arrested several times over the years for assaulting photographers attempting to take his picture, was pleading for the violence to stop in Iraq.

In any event, the totally legal protest went on without incident until several unseemly types decided to deface the Capital Building with graffiti. The Commissioner of the D.C. police gave the order that "no one was to be arrested", and the felons-without-a-charge continued their assault on property that belongs to every legal citizen of this country by standing around and taking photos of their handy-work.

Look, you wanna invite Hanoi Jane out from whatever rock she was under to be a speaker?...go ahead. You wanna invite Anny Savoy from "Bull Durham" to be a speaker?...go ahead. And you are even encouraged to invite "I'm so wasted" Jeff Spicoli if you want to as well.

But defacing something that has been a part of this country for over 200 years? Now, you're just being a fucking douche-bag. You claim to be part of the "progressive movement", and you do some trailer trash stunt like that? Wanna know why no one with half a brain wants to listen to your crap?

Read back a few lines, assholes.

much like the army recruiters who got attacked in wa state on a college campus by anti war protestors. a) nice to proclaim yourself to be educated and open-minded and then throw things at professionals doing their job. b) great argument. right up there with "it's not fair". or "because". c) and you call the army guys a bunch of war mongers? violence lovers?
