#1 BTW, the suit will be for the Dominicans to pay the costs incurred by the taxpayers of the State of Colorado for their incarceration for the entire lenght of thier sentence, and costs to deputies and the court system.

OP does the term"flame broiled"come to mind.

The Catholic Bishop(Phoenix Arch Dioces)acuused of obstructing justice and protecting pedophile priests,was arrested a couple of days ago for hit and run in fatal treafic accident.

While taking HazMat classes(DOT packageing and transport of hazardous materials)instructor told us this story:While decomisioning the silos around Tucson,Az.,a convoy of unmarked vehicles was transporting the warheads.The convoy was stopped by DPS officers(thats State Troopers to you"Old America"states)well it seems we had 2 groups of people pointing weapons at each other,both with ample authority to use deadly force.

#3 The only real display of miiitary force I've seen domestically was along I-80 near Rapid City SD about 20 years ago. A convoy of semi's was accompanied by something like Humvees. .50-cal machine guns were sticking out of every available doorway, and manned. Helicopters with door mounted machine guns were flying low and slow overhead. I hate to imagine what they were transporting.

#4 They're lucky SAC's defunct and the SP's didn't show up and just plug 'em. The signs on the fences around those things are not kidding. And SAC had NO sense of humor.

#5 The nuns and thier attorney were shocked at the conviction! I'm shocked that the prosecution didn't understand that the nuns were special and therefore immmune from mundane standards. And, by "special" I dont' mean of a religious community -- I mean the same sort of "special" that self-defined activists claim whenever they are called to face the consequences of their actions.

#6 I seem to recall a threatened protest/ "trespassing" this past Spring at Vandenberg AFB. The Base spokesman warned they would be met with deadly force. To this day I don't think the protest ever actually happened. The fools are starting to learn that society's patience has worn really thin

#7 These groups decided against holding the demonstrations because of teh threat of deadly force. Hmmm I think I see an answer. These plowshare people are useful idiots for the left. they are luck that the Security Police wer not trigger happy or this discussion would be moot. Nukes are a weapon of the past, but unless EVEYONE gets rid of them we need to maintain ours. Sorry sisters, but this is for your own good.

#8 5-8 years? That isn't nearly long enough. Hit them with the 30 years without parole. Ask them if it was worth it them.

#9 If they object to the US storing nukes, I'm sure that I can think of a few places to dipose of them. Haven't these idiots ever figured out that nuclear weapons were what kept the Cold War cod. Sure ain't like the nuns I had in school.

#10 I think you should strike a deal with them. Offer them to waive prison if they go to Iran to do the same there.

#11 One of these days, these "activists" are going to show up, and we'll have a practice launch from a live silo. That huge concrete lid slams back against the chocks at something like 170 MPH. It weighs in at about 6 tons. Nobody should ever be caught in between the silo door and that backstop. Anybody there will become instant jelly.

#12 Believe it or not...I think I've had a run in with the Good Sister. Allow me to explain.
Easter Sunday '84, I was a conventional weapons specialist with the 379 BMW at Wurtsmith AFB, MI. The wife and I awoke to go to church only to discover that the base was locked down. The reason was that a half dozen Catholic priests and nuns had gotten onto the base for a protest. When we finally got off the base, they were still at the main gate telling the media what heroes they were, and how they spraypainted peace slogans on a weapons bunker, then held mass in front of a B-52 on the Alert Pad.
One problem - it never happened. Y'see, these Holy Dingleberries drove up from Southern Michigan that morning on their mission of peace, where the temperatures could be reasonably expected to be in the low 70's. But at Wurtsmith - 50 miles south of the 45th Parallel - the temp that morning was a lovely twenty-something, which the very lightly clad HD's didn't realize until they got there.
Then, they jumped an 8-ft double razor wire fence to get onto the base, shredding what clothing they did have (they looked like they were wearing ghillie suits when I saw them)and themselves to boot. They set off the movement sensors, and the SPs went for 'em. However, as soon as they'd gotten onto the base, they proceeded to get lost in the fairly dense forest that covered about a third of the base. The SPs could track them by their crashing around in the woods trying to figure out where they were, and they finally herded them out and nailed 'em. They never got within a couple of football fields of either the Pad or the Weapons Storage Area, tho the newspapers believed every word they said, and since SAC policy was not to even admit we HAD weapons there, there was no way to rebut it.
The Good Sister - even if she's not an acquaintance from long ago - deserves every minute in prison and more. But I have to admit, I like TGA's suggestion.
Oh, one other thing - don't forget the idiot who laid down in front of a train carrying Trident SLBM warheads a few years ago - and then was shocked to be run over. Notice how THAT little form of civil disobedience hasn't been tried again since?

#13 These loonies should be barred from the Dominican sisterhood. I'm Catholic, but what they are doing is NOT in the books. They are being very selective, and self-deluded.

Some of us here in the Archdiocese of Denver are asking the Bishop to contact the head of their order and get clarification: are they working under the sanction of the Dominican society? If so, then we are planning to file a RICO suit agains the Dominicans for supporting and bankrolling these 3-time loser criminals. If not, then we will request that they be removed from the order.

I and my fellow Catholics (especially the veretans and KoC memebers) are sick and tired of the religious orders people who wrap themselves up in The Cloth and then proceed to soil it.

As for the scripture quoting, I have one for the Sisters of Stupidity: (Luke 22:36)

Jesus said: "But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don't have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one."
