April 25, 2004 -- THE Yippies are so mad at Ed Koch for helping the organizers of this summer's Republican National Convention here, they vow to camp out 24 hours a day in front of his Greenwich Village apartment. "We're so ticked off at Koch for turncoating, we'll be there 'round-the-clock. We want to make it so he won't be able to come home for four days," said Yippie leader John Penley. "We'll probably be arrested." The Yippies, who have been turned down for permits to pitch tents in Tompkins Square Park and East River Park, plan a 24-hour vigil outside Gracie Mansion on Aug. 22, the day before the convention starts. But Koch is their biggest target because he's appearing in billboards saying, "You don't have to be a Democrat to love New York." Another says, "The Republicans are coming. Make nice." The Yippies expect authorities to open Yankee Stadium to hold all the protesters who are arrested, and to call in reinforcements. "We want the National Guard. We're going to give them medical marijuana and massages. We think they're on our side," Penley said. "They don't want George Bush re-elected; then they'd have to go to Iraq."

That's only part the of plan. From Yankee Stadium the plan is take these "people" to McGuire AFB for transport and resettlement in Fallujah.
It would be better if they exited the rear of a C-17 at 30,000 feet above Fallujah without parachutes. With any luck they would hit some jihadis on the ground.
Actually, the plan is to hold all 3 of them in a bus shelter just outside of Yankee Stadium.
