WASHINGTON (AP) -- More than 100 anti-war protesters, including the man who leaked the Pentagon Papers, were arrested outside the White House in demonstrations marking the eighth anniversary of the U.S.-led war in Iraq.

The protesters, some shouting anti-war slogans and singing "We Shall Not Be Moved," were arrested Saturday after ignoring orders to move away from the gates of the White House.

As long as they weren't inside the gates or climbing them, Care, how is asking them to leave a lawful order?
It's thuggery, pure and simple

Were they protesting the Iraq war?
Do they not read the papers? That's over.
Or maybe it was just an excuse not to take a bath.

Not if they're blocking access. The White House, like any other public building, must be able to carry on it's lawful business.

You may have missed it.... it was hidden in the first sentence of the second paragraph ..... The protesters, some shouting anti-war slogans and singing "We Shall Not Be Moved," were arrested Saturday after ignoring orders to move away from the gates of the White House.

I just didn't make the connection......
I was thinking more in the way of the surrounding fence, where we all stand to take pictures, rather than the actual entry-gate.

Believe it or not, I read the story. My personal opinion is that our right to free speech and assembly trump any permit requirements, and any orders from the cops to move on. I know that SCOTUS does not agree, just expressing my opinion.

Anyway, if you cannot recognize a joke as obvious as the one I made you are wound way too tight.

Nobody goes through those gates anymore.

You should read past the headlines that quote officials where they get into the actual facts.

Try telling the 50,000 US soldiers engaging in combat operations in Iraq that the war is over.

maybe we need to call France tho bomb the whitehouse and save the protester

 

[Flopper]

I hope someone was protesting the absolute absurdity, of getting involved in a military venture that could cost this country tens of billions of dollars or more at a time when our country is knee deep in red ink and we are involved in two wars with no end in sight. I suspect getting rid of Gadhafi, may be every bit as painful and expensive as ridding ourselves of Saddam Hussein.
