#1 *Catholic Schoolgirls*

They obscenely smear a good name.

#2 The "peace movement" is a naked emperor. I do not believe in the sincerity of ANY "peace activist." As George Orwell said in 1942, "the peace movement is objectively pro-fascist."

I believe that sympathy and support for barbarism is the conscious purpose of every posturing fool of a peace hypocrite, from the Copperheads of the Civil War to the doddering hippies and blackshirt glue-huffers of today. They are not people of peace, they are depraved beasts; arrogant, infantile, totalitarian, heedless, cowardly tools of a satanic enemy.

Remember, none other than Harvard itself has established that terrorist activity increases in response to increased anti-war media coverage. That would of course include high profile media events like this one and the inevitable spin the media will put on it.

This kind of event is especially encouraging to the enemy, since they interpret the failure to punish the offenders as evidence that the administration is too weak to enforce the law in this country let alone pacify places like Afghanistan and Iraq. Favorable media coverage is interpreted as indicating wide-spread popular opposition. As in Vietnam, the message is that our enemies do not have to win, they have only to hold out long enough for our policies to collapse from within.

#3 Funny how they would never dream of doing anything to a mosque, in the name of respect for religion.

#4 Just a publicity stunt. The "anti-war" part is a ruse.

#6 "all charged with felony criminal defacement"

President Lincoln might have had these turds hung.

#7 I say sell them and "their male and female member-ships" to a couple of lewd old Saudis.

#8 The only sort of "peace" advocated by these sorts is "the peace of the grave," specifically for you and me, not for themselves...

#9 I saw the mugshots. They look like every loser you've ever met.
When you're a male and you're a member of something called Catholic Schoolgirls Against the War, you probably couldn't get laid in a monkey whorehouse with a bag of bananas.

#11 Aren't they a little old to be called "School Girls"? BU I guess "Skanky Tramps Against the War" was already taken (ie Code Pink).

#13 Each and every one of those people spatter can and should file assault and battery charges. The "fake blood" splash constitutes battery. Also, sue thim in civil court,a nd since the conspired, request RICO charges be brought, including civil forfeiture.

#14 OS, its Chicago. It can be resolved with a lot less effort than employing lawyers.

#15 Orwell said in 1942 "the peace movement is objectively pro-fascist."

And Orwell still seemed to give them the benefit of doubt about their sincerity. I don't. I don't since theirt thundering silnce over the Communist massacres at Hue during the Tet, since their thundering silence over the Khmer Rouges, since their thundering silence over Saddam gassing of Kurds, since their thundering silence over the massacre of Hazaras by Taliban, since their silence over Rwanda, since their silence over Al Quaida and Iran-funded militias atrocities in Irak , since their thundering silence over Paleostinians actions and project of a Second Shoah, since their thundering silence over Soudan.
Remember the hate filled face of burkha clad
Rachel Corrie while she burned an American flag
in Paleonistan? Pace activis Rachel Corrie.

I don't believe they are weell intentioned idiots.
They are ave

#16 The American Civil War. Amazing how liberals forget how illiberal both North and South were during that conflict.

Secretary of War Edwin Stanton once told a man demanding release of a friend similarly locked away for treason, If I tap that little bell, I can send you to a place where you will never hear the dogs bark. VDH's Private Papers

When A. Lincoln suspended habeus corpus, any 2nd lieutenant in the US Army could arrest a man or woman and incarcerate that person without a hearing or notification of next of kin. No lawyer, no magistrate, no nuthin'.

#17 CHICAGO -- A judge set bond at $25,000 to $35,000 today for six anti-war protestors following an Easter service disruption at Holy Name Cathedral in the Loop Sunday morning.

Bond was set at $35,000 for Donte D. Smith, 21 and $25,000 for the five others including: Ephran Ramirez, Jr., 22, and Ryane J. Ziemba, 25, Mercedes Phinaih, 18, Regan Maher, 25, and Angela Haban, 20. Smith has served time in a federal prison in Texas for trespassing on a Native American reservation.

All six protestors were charged with two counts of felony criminal damage to property and two counts of simple battery.

Looks like they'll have plenty of time to get to know their cellmates. Maybe they could rename their group Catholic Schoolgirls Against the War Who Get Pounded in the Ass in Prison...

#18 A several year trip to PMITA Prison might change his attitude.

Protester: "I'm in for assaulting people with fake blood in a church. What you in for?"

Convict: "Life. Rape, Assault and armed robbery. Bend over now b*tch"

Smith getting his second and third felonies?

Know if the 3 strikes rules apply?
