ProtestWarrior Members Experience Protestors Commitment to “Peace” First Hand
They simply wanted to express their opinion like everyone else. They had a permit to march just like everyone else. The only difference…they support Bush and conservative ideals. The result: Members of ProtestWarrior, an organization committed to challenging and confronting left-wing protests, were punched, spit on repeatedly, shouted down, insulted and even maced. But there was one thing the hordes of “peaceful” protesters at Sunday’s march could not do to the ProtestWarriors…intimidate them. Small squads of 15 ProtestWarriors infiltrated the march peacefully and marched along silently holding their signs…until the angry mob began to grow unruly and turned to violence.
The double standards were glaring and unmistakable. The protestors, supposedly committed to free speech, were clearly determined to deny the ProtestWarriors a chance to express themselves. The protestors, supposedly committed to peaceful co-existence, quickly resorted to violence to eject dissenters from the march. The demonstrators, supposedly committed to tolerance, repeatedly erupted in cheers each time a group of ProtestWarriors were forced away from the procession and out of the march.
As promised, here are more Medienkritik pictures from NY:
The ProtestWarriors plan the mission: “250,000 vs. 200…any questions?”
“CommunistsforKerry.com” a hilarious satirical group, also joined ProtestWarrior
Gathering and moving out…
The demonstrators: Representative of the American mainstream? The sign on the far right: “Founded, grown and sustained by mass extermination the USA and peace are a fundamental contradiction. This criminal terrorist government will never be reformed by voting. It must be abolished through REVOLUTION!“
Some folks who didn’t appreciate ProtestWarrior and were willing to use non-peaceful means to show it.
But ProtestWarrior, CommunistsforKerry and Medienkritik wouldn’t back down!
And many of the violent protestors and their signs ended up where they belonged…
My thanks to ProtestWarrior and everyone who took part. It was a truly unforgettable and educational real-world experience.
If you missed them, Part 1 and another article on hungry anti-capitalists are also must reads!
