Rolling Blunder Desires Confrontation In DC March 17th

[Monkeyman]

This is from me stay away let us vets handle them this is a read you should look at.

Rolling Blunder and These Colors don't Run pro-war protest in DC aims to create confrontation with Anti-Iraqinam war groups.They plan to stage in and around the Vietnam Veterans Memorial once again turning the WAll INTO A POLITICAL CIRCUS AS Artie Muller and Rolling Thunder did during the 2004 Presidential Election.

1. We will be facing a large group of pro war nut cases

They have Fox Noise going to be there. Let us handle them please. Do not confront! You know by my post I will not back down from them but let this one be vet on vet

[Richard Steele]

4. Be on the lookout for firearms, and report them to the nearest cop ASAP.

Because you know damn well some of these "itching for a fight"
chickenhawks are gonna be packing. No way they'd ever go to DC
(or ANYWHERE) otherwise, because they're cowards with too many
vigilante-fantasies.

Let THEM get arrested in front of the TV cameras, hey? THAT'S good TV!

[Monkeyman]

10. Yep some do pack a piece

To be clear they hide them in their bikes

[Solo_in_MD]

12. Ahhh, the draconian DC laws were struck down, so unless a stay was issued, they may not be illegal

though most carry locked in their bike bags. That would require a warrant to search.

[Richard Steele]

16. I'd be happy to let THEM argue that point.... with the DC police.

Very happy.

[Monkeyman]

19. That's my point let others handle it

Not all the vets there on bkies will be them hint I will be riding with my brothers from VFP and others

[lonestarnot]

2. Hmmmf.

Meatheads. There's the beef. Derya... which way did they go.

[Monkeyman]

3. Yep Meatheads but a huge danger

[lonestarnot]

6. I don't think you have much to worry about where they're concerned.

[Solo_in_MD]

5. Are there any anti war demonstrators planning protests? The minor says no, but others say there are

[Monkeyman]

7. This one is no joke they have it on their web site

They come in force looking for one thing trouble. I faced them before

[Solo_in_MD]

9. So the minor is incorrect in his assertions...is there anything he is correct about?

[lonestarnot]

8. Hell yeah there are demonstrations planned.

Check with United for Peace and Justice.

[Solo_in_MD]

11. If I am in town I may go to get pictures

The cruiser crowd is always good for a laugh...

[Monkeyman]

13. Yep

Just be a little careful that's all I am saying they are asswipes and a disgrace to us veterans

[AlCzervik]

14. is this the same rolling thunder that makes Fred Phelps and his crew back a little

father away from funerals for veterans?

[Monkeyman]

15. No

They are not the ones

[lazer47]

17. I wish just one more time

if I was physically able to, I would like to once again have someones 6 and be able to back it up,, stand tall for all of us brother, wish I could be there

[Monkeyman]

22. I will be there for you Brother and stand tall for you

[AlCzervik]

21. well according to this article they are

http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/03/06/btsc.lavandrera.funerals/index.html

[Monkeyman]

24. Patriot Guard Riders are not rolling blunder

Some are but that is not the ones going to DC

[AlCzervik]

26. then you didn't read the whole article.

The procession of rolling thunder escorted Davila's family from memorial services to the grave site on a quiet hill.

thats the snip from the article.

[Monkeyman]

28. Again they are not the ones coming

Chapters of Rolling Tunder ride with us I protect the fallen

[AlCzervik]

30. it's on their website open to all chapters so why wouldn't the ones mentioned

in the article be going?

[ScreamingMeemie]

32. This thread doesn't make any sense from what I can see.

"let us handle this? I think it is allowable for us to meet and protest. I understand telling people to stay away from the Wall and perhaps alerting local law inforcement to this "plan" but other than that...come on....

[Monkeyman]

35. What I said for the last Time lets us vets handle them

Now is the clear to you. We are warning you they want trouble that's all you are the one making into a issue

[ScreamingMeemie]

38. MonkeyMan, I am asking you to to post what the blog post was about.

They are NOT asking people to stay away from the protests. They are asking people to stay away from the memorials, which is a valid request. Your OP does not state that.

[Solo_in_MD]

39. The blog was basically bullshit, the minor has no idea what he is talking about

- The minor does not like Rolling Thunder and telling everyone to stay away and that there are no counter protests planned.
- His simian relation is telling us that there are protests planned, but it should be left to veterans

Best I can tell:

1) Rolling Thunder is planned at least a year in advance and the complaints about non-veterans riding is nonsense, since it has never been billed as a veteran only event.

2) The right wing caravan it planned to arrive about the same time.

3) Left wing protests are now being planned as well.


While avoiding DC is always a good idea, its going to be a even better time to avoid it. Lots of MCs, lots of tourist, and lots of people of all stripes wanting to impress the cameras. Since I live in the immediate area, I may brave the crowds, but will leave my MC at home and take the Metro and a camera.

[ScreamingMeemie]

42. We were there for the Race to the Wall a few years ago on Memorial

Day. My daughter was in the Spelling Bee. I'm familiar with Rolling Thunder. It was quite a sight.

[Ghost in the Machine]

41. "the procession of rolling thunder" in this sentence refers to the sound

of the bikes driving down the road. I have often referrred to this myself, as has many others that I know. The sound of a group of Harleys sounds like rolling thunder...

This is, of course, just my interpretation of this snippet.

:hi:

Ghost

[Solo_in_MD]

40. Different organization, with a large number of cross membership

As in most the PGRs I know have done a Rolling Thunder event.

[ScreamingMeemie]

18. There are many people who are not vets who are very well versed

in the art of the protest. It sounds a little like dance party to make that kind of request. I think anyone who wishes to support the troops, and embarass these sadly undereducated people, should go.

On edit: I think you need to clarify what the blog actually says, with regard to the Wall.

[Monkeyman]

20. Not all of them are vets

[ScreamingMeemie]

23. Again, I think you need to clarify that this is with regard to the Wall,

not to showing up for the protests.

[Monkeyman]

25. They will show but most protesters know to stay away

They blamed the last protest with tossing garbage on the Wall. That is pure bull read the link

[ScreamingMeemie]

27. I read the link. Did you? It appears they are asking people to stay

away from the Wall...not the protest.

On edit: See?

"Our military family is once again respectfully asking that no anti-Iraqinam War or related PEACE, rally or protest anywhere near our hallowed Veterans Memorials in Washington, DC. "

[AlCzervik]

29. you're correct.

from that blog

Our military family is once again respectfully asking that no anti-Iraqinam War or related PEACE, rally or protest anywhere near our hallowed Veterans Memorials in Washington, DC.

[Monkeyman]

31. The Major is not asking that ! He is telling you this is part one

Brother Major is Ohio VFP he is also Military Families for Peace his son is in Iraq. What he wants is not to let these pukes take away what we are doing. The Wall is a place of honor for my fallen brothers they want to make it political. If you look at the picture in the link you will see what Muller is all about. If you want to see a true vet watch 360 at 11.20 Eastern time. Thats our leader Veterans For America

[ScreamingMeemie]

33. My uncle is a true vet. I've known him for 36 years and he would

be proud to have everyone's support in protesting this illegal war.


Your first post does not say anything about the Wall...it just says stay away and let us handle this. That could be taken to mean stay away from the protest in general, which isn't what they are asking.

[Monkeyman]

34. No I am a Vet going everyone has the right to be there

We just don't want them to hurt what we are doing. They want to confront and destroy what we are doing . I am VVAW we want peace if that means we march. They want TV time

[Monkeyman]

36. And was last thing only to you My Brothers I bled with names are on that wall

You want to insult me again

[ScreamingMeemie]

37. Where have I insulted you? I'm saying that you mistated what the post

was. That can hardly be taken as an insult. I'm asking you to clarify. The very sad part of this is that my uncled served in the Air Force for nearly 40 years and he would agree with me on this.

[LostinVA]

44. MrsGrumpy has NOT insulted you once in this thread, sir

Why are you looking for attacks that aren't there? It seems quite counterproductive. As does the edited version of your OP.

:sigh:

[LostinVA]

43. That's how I read it too, MrsG
