As I've gotten older and more responsibilities and whatnot, I've learned to have more restraint and to think about my actions more.

However, in this case....I'd let it all go out the window and start throwing knuckle sammies...

Punching Bags

Remind me if I ever drive through berkley to piss all over the place. This is why I avoid California. Austin isnt even like that.

pepper spray works wonders

Those policemen should be fired imo. Those protestors are scum, would have loved to see a few Marines come out of the office and clear the way.

That is such complete bullshit!

Looks like a civilian attack on a Marine base to me. Come out shooting - take no prisoners.

What a bunch of complete dumbasses. Non-conventional terrorists - all of em. Send them to Gitmo I say, then see how the Marines treat em

Some of the lowest life in America lives in the Bay area.

I can't wait for the next natural disaster in the area. I would be very amused if they sent in no military / national guard troops in there to help these scumbags.

Was Xterrapin out there with them this time?

What I can't understand about the whole thing is where the hell is the US Justice Dept. in all of this?

That is a violation of federal law what is going on at that Marine recruiting office. Where the hell is the US Attorney for that district?

Well anyway..... Here is a picture of the mayor of Berkeley, Tom Bates. He was out there a few days ago joining the Code Pink radical leftist protesters. Notice him wearing his "pinko" beret.....



These leftists are calling the Marines "baby killers".

Is everyone aware that these Code Pink traitors gave $600,000 in cash and supplies to the families of terrorists in Iraq a couple of years ago?

The protesters need to go try that shit in North Korea, China, or the Middle East somewhere...fuckers.

I think you might have mentioned it once or twice.

That's alright. I serve my country to protect those people's rights to act like idiots like that. It's not like grown adults acting like kindergardners helps their cause in anyway.

More and more people are seeing how much of idiots these anti-war activists really are. We actually get a lot of support almost everywhere we go.

If the police aren't enforcing the law by ordering them to disperse, then I'm sure they wouldn't mind if the Marines kicked the protesters in the shins to gain entrance. Or perhaps a little sweep and stomp

Apperently the police are neutral there so I think it's a "anything goes" fight. Why are we paying police there anyway? Hell, just put up a couple of police statues, same difference.

Or maybe, the cop was being super cool and was hoping someone would step up.

"We're being neutral"
"So then I can over there and give one of those guys a suplex then?
"Like I said, sir, we're being neutral"
"Thank you officer, I understand"

Suplex time.

"we are trying to remain Neutral" I guess when the Mayor is wearing a dick on his head it is clear where the PD stands.

Question: Why does the Marines not have a dozen Camo clad guys with Batons standing in front of the office?.

I love the "our hands are not on them" comment...I would punch her right in th Ovary

These people make me sick

You have a mayor resembling a full grown penis, cops with no balls, people with no respect for the rights they have been given and no respect for those that provide them those rights.

So if they are getting away with their little obstruction by saying "our hands are not on them" then they should be able to get away with elbows to the back of the head. Just one flashbang... that's what they need, one flashbang and 4 leathernecks rifle butting at will.

And Rudy... thank you for the sacrifices you have made so that I can sit here and call these people an absolute waste of oxygen that should be removed from the gene pool.

Damn I wish I could drive up there. I'd walk in just to chat with the recruiter. lol.

This REALLY PISSES ME OFF!!!!! NO RESPECT.
Could you imagine if this happened 50 years ago? most likely it would not have happened. back then we had total respect for are military and are society was not a bunch of pussies.
I have friends in the military(marines and navy)and they give up a lot to protect and defend this country. Some have even lost close friends and have seen things nobody should have to see,I know I have heard the stories first hand. I have a friend that was in Viet Nam and he still is dealing with shit he saw. People like this do not deserve the right to breathe or speak. What is sad as posted before is these people are spitting on the same people that protect there right to protest.VERY FUCKING SAD!!!!.
I would love to see one of these douch bags spend one day out on patrol. I swear they would be crying and shitting their pants.
Like posted before next time something happens there I hope they get no help from any government service, but we all know we will march in there and do what ever it takes. I know these recruitment centers make car salesmen on steroids with a pit bull genie implant look like pussies but they have a job and service to provide for. With out them there would be a draft then those berkley pussies would be pissed about that.
Nobody wants to see the big picture, the future safety of the world that are government is looking to pull off.
I hate hearing or seeing the news talk about another solider who was killed today, but i know at the same time he fought for this country and his fellow solider's who stand by him every day and that he was willing to do so knowing he could die. That is noble and very courages and I thank him for being a part of a team trying to make this world a better place for my friends and family.
Tom bates more like Master Bates with that fucked up thing on his head.
I am with far west X I would go in there everyday just to fuck with these losers.
Why haven't the marines posted some big thick MP's at the front entrance? let me guess city sidewalk city property.

I can't believe that didn't turn voilent...

What would the cops have done if someone did start ripping those cocksuckers some new orafices?

Fucking disgusting behavior. You can disagree with the war in so many other ways that don't make you look like a crazy pussy. Let the recruiters do their jobs.

Would this fly in anyone else's neck of the woods? Try it in Boulder, code pink, I've got some buddies that would gladly show up with me... Miners like to fight, should be fun.

what is funny is like there is not another recruiting office down the road. I love the orange jump suits its like they are already for jail just round them up check them in. Who do they think they are fighting the U.S. government on something like this.

Here I think we should all drop them I line.
CODEPINK

love the whole support diplomacy with Iran section. Why don't we send them a bouquet of flowers too. Maybe thats what we have been doing wrong all these years.

> Let the recruiters do their jobs.

Get your crosshairs off my kid.

Unless you are a vet or your child is in the service, STFU.

Ever notice how at any of these protests if one of the activists gets as much as a nudge they fall to the ground like they've been shot? They're like NFL punters trying to draw a penalty. Saw the same thing in that New Orleans protest over tearing down public housing. Guess it makes for good TV.

Those cops should be ashamed. As for the freaks protesting, it's beyond understanding how they can fail to realize that our armed forces are the only reason they're free to pull that kind of crap.

I'm currently reading (and highly recommend) former Marine officer Nathaniel Fick's book One Bullet Away . He tells of attending a talk by author Tom Ricks at Dartmouth:

===
After the talk, a young professor stood. "How can you support the presence of ROTC at a place like Dartmouth?" she asked. "It will militarize the campus and threaten our culture of tolerance."
===

Somehow I don't think "tolerance" would have advanced very far at Iwo Jima, the Battle of the Bulge, or Okinawa. :rolleyes:

Are you kidding mine? The People's Rebublic of Boulder is running a close second to bezerkly in liberal nonsense. However, I'd be happy to stand with you and your miners! Just watch out that your neighbors don't try to grab your land when you're gone.

It's been reported that a high school let students out to go to the protests the other day in front of the Berkeley City Council. Here is a fine example of the fruits of public education...

Click here for video....

(WARNING: Foul language) You may want to lower audio before hearing what these kids have learned from their teachers.



A conservative college student took his video camera over to the Marine Recruiting office protest site to ask a few questions of the Code Pinko's assembling for the day's protest (it's been going on for at least a couple of weeks now).

The only thing that can explain the responses is mental illness.

"What's wrong with communism?"

Oh yeah........

They burned a US flag at the protest on Tuesday night...

Click here for video...



CNN video...

boy after seeing those two video's and them burning the flag ,something needs to be done, but by who the neutral police. I think the military really needs to step up and protect this recruitment center, if for no other reason than just calming the crowd which you know would probably only provoke more choas. This is now getting really out of control and somebody is going to get hurt. just wait until they decide to burn another flag and the wrong guy or group is there and takes matter into there own hands.
What else would you expect from that high school kid, really what does a high school kid really know all he saw was a way to get on national TV and a way out of school.
I wished I lived around there I would so be down there after that flag burning all those people should be tossed out of the USA on there prissy little ass round em up throw them out. There should be a law against burning the flag but you would have to amend the constitution first. Burning the flag is so wrong in my eye's that really pisses me off.

I've got a novel idea...why don't we just go back to ignoring them?

Aren't they doing this to garner yet more attention? There was a time when Berkeley was the epicenter of anti-establishment politics, but that time has long since passed. This bunch aren't exactly Mario Savio.

drop this guy a line keep it simple I emailed him with the subject of "for the military keep the recruitment center."
Berkeley City Council

Shahram if it worked ignore them would be great but it won't. To me this is to big to ignore there city government voted against our military.WTF!!! and it looks like most of these idiots were around back in the savio days.

Quick! Build a Super Wal-Mart there and put all military offices inside it. Have a Black Friday Sale everyday. The rednecks will keep the pinkies at bay.

First off, thank you rudy, for serving, second i am on my way to afghanistan at this very moment and already did one tour in iraq. I signed on the dotted line voluntarily and would do it all over again if i had the chance. So what I say is f#*k these dickbags. They should all be thrown in jail. I wish they could talk to some afghan nationals and see how much they appreciate us being there. Suck a dick Berkeley.

Good luck and stay safe over there hugetanker. Thanks for your service too.

THANK YOU hugetanker, rudy and all that serve. Everybody I know that has served in Iraq or Afghan say the same thing as you did they like us being there. I know from talking to friends that are serving that a lot has been accomplished over there building of schools, medical centers, wells have been drilled for water and women are seeing more equal rights. The amount of opium seized over in afhgan is scary but what is great is it is not getting out.
What totally blows is the media here in the U.S. only shows the horror's of war and i am sure these codepink dick tips do not realize all the good we have done in the middle east. Good luck with your second tour, keep your head down, sights fixed, and come home safe and thank you again for serving.
