DC could get ugly

[insanity]

There is our protest, and the freepers counter-protest ("Support Our Troops Weekend"). Is it just me, or does someone else see the potential for outburst?

1. Certainly Sounds Like

something's brewin'

[stepnw1f]

2. lol (nt)

[mattclearing]

3. No. 1,000,000 antiwar protesters vs. 20 freepers = peaceful demonstration

:D

Edit: But seriously, freepers always show up at our protests here in DC. They are pathetic. They heckled Gore's MoveOn speech at Constitution Hall, they were defending the Iraqi people against Saddam Hussein at the anti-Iraq war marches in 2002/3, and they will be there tomorrow.

Trust me, freepers know their place, and they are hopelessly outnumbered in this neck of the woods.

16. SNAP!

[MarvinBarns]

20. 1million antiwar protestors

Will be biggest protest ever.

[mattclearing]

25. That is pretty optimistic.

I'd be impressed if we got half a million. People are pretty pissed, though.

[DancingBear]

5. Calm down - the freepers never protest

50 or so of them stand off to the side in camo outfits and wave mis-spelled signs.

Nothing to worry about - c'mon down.

[KyndCulture]

10. Don't forget the portapotties... 50 freepers = 120 toilets.

[mattclearing]

13. You've seen 50?

That's the biggest freep ever.

They only managed 5 at Clinton's booksigning. I think there were 20 at the march around the White House in '03.

6. We'll be fine.

The freepers also showed up in Crawford, and we handled them and the situation just fine.

[htuttle]

7. The freepers ALWAYS try to have a 'counter protest'

It never amounts to much.

Unless you're in the Porta-Potty business. Then it's a goldmine...

[HamdenRice]

8. Anti-war = pro peace, so I don't see how pacificists ...

could be part of any violence. Verbal outbursts sure.

But I could never understand why people pay any attention to pathetic little groups of counter protesters anyway.

[Fight_n_back]

15. Anti-War +/- Pro Peace

I am against the Iraq war (i have been against all the Iraq wars) but would have no qualms about drilling a Freeper with a well placed shot to the adam's apple ....but enough about Ann Coulter

[SteppingRazor]

19. I'm with Fight_n_Back here...

Antiwar does not necessarily mean pro-peace.

Like Peter Tosh said, "I don't want no peace. I want equal rights and justice."

[Ioo]

9. 39298792834 of us, 18.1 of them, it will be fine.

Please, they are no shows, all talk no action.

[BBradley]

11. The freepers never come with enough people to bother us.

The status-quo isn't really a motivating thing to protest for I guess.

[zippy890]

12. Yes, freepers are ugly, its true

because they are filled with hate & negativity.

They will be vastly outnumbered and inconsequential to our effots.

[warrens]

14. I reserved all the patriot potties in the area

What would they do without their post-event buffet?

If anyone going has a digital camera, check FReak Republic tomorrow night to confirm where Kristinn and his five or six acolytes are going to be, then get some pix of their pathetic excuse for a demo and post them here so we can all have a good laugh.

[Mutley]

22. Oh, I'm taking pictures.

[Stephanie]

17. If both of the freepers are there at the same time, you're right

It could be very ugly.

[charlie]

18. Nah

The Protest Warriors are scheduled to be there. No danger of protesters getting jumped while the clueless boobs are busy whacking PWs.

[0007]

21. I've been around for a long time and seen many protest and

I've yet to see any great numbers of freepers at any given protest.

Only a few types like this guy below that was at the anti war protest before the invasion of Iraq.



[txaslftist]

23. You forget that the military will be conducting a covert exercise...

...at the same time. So it might be 20,000 of us (plus a few military agitators) against 20 of them (plus a few hundred plainclothes special operatives).

It very well could get ugly. Lethally ugly.

I'll still be there, though.

:headbang:

[pnorman]

24. They'll be there in DC

in roughly the same proportion that they're serving in Iraq & Afghanistan.

"Porta-Pottie Patriots"!!

pnorman

[deutsey]

26. Even if they get twice their usual number, they'll still be a fairly

insignificant annoyance.

One march I went to there were about 40 of them jeering thousands of us.
