ZOT! Peace Rally in Fresno

Chicano Latino Studies class, Fresno State

[Ryan]

I too am a bit disappointed at the overall reaction on these topic. As a Protest Warrior Leader, I have attended rallies and fought side by side with Freepers during many counter protest events. I'm somewhat ashamed by the initial response one of our members received by not one freeper in particular, but the group sentiment. A troll, at least in netiquette terms is a serious charge (as apparent here) and hypewrd was not guilty of the initial claim (and especially being labeled "liberal"). Admins need to review and reinstate his account and then think about their policy on censorship in these forums.

Admin, You cannot strengthen your arguments without debate and promoting the first amendment while yourselves censoring speech is slightly hypocritical. Your members have proven their strength in ideology by my side many times at counter protests, why not let them flex their muscle here? Trolls, though an easy shot, represent much of what we encounter on the streets. I would say that you share many of the values of our liberal education system here... sheltering members, limiting speech, while "talking the talk", but even that is too much of a low blow.

Hear, hear!

A minor suggestion then:

If it's a notice by Protest Warriors, have a Protest Warrior ping list and have an addendum to the title like "PW notice" ot "PW Alert" "Head's Up" what-have you.

This thread made very little sense, the original poster never pinged any of the Protest Warriors on FR to the thread, and never made mention of Protest Warriors.

When they marched down Olive and reached Echo, I saw those creeps. (We were having a yard sale.) So I ran up to the corner and yelled at them: "Traitors!" and "We support the Troops!" And "Get off my street!" They made me really mad!! One girl who was wearing a mask lunged toward me and a few of them yelled at me. There was a cop there so they wouldn't dare assault me. I turned around and walked back home.

One of my neighbors said she was proud of me. That's my report.

I didn't know about this in advance. Just happened to be out there when they passed by. It was odd because they marched on the sidewalk through the Tower Dist which I thought you were not supposed to do. Anyway, they heard from me, for what it's worth.

Thank you, Saundra.

GO SAUNDRA!!!

[Saundra Duffy]

How did you do that with the eyes? Stop it! You're scaring me.

[Saundra Duffy]

See you tonight, Amy!

[Saundra Duffy]

Can you explain to me why those idiots wear those creepy masks?

Checking some old zot threads and remembered this bit of fluff self-pontificating worthy of DU.
This little fluff speech is worth keeping in mind the next time we see a troll spouting about 'free speech'.
Like this guy was.
A bit of silence in menmory of this thread.
*silence*

Okay, enough of the memory of zots past, on to the present and future.

[Old Sarge]

So Protest Warrior doesn't like us, now?

[Conspiracy Guy]

Those were the daze!

[Darksheare]

Dunno.
I made a suggestion in 103, and no-one seemed too impressed with it since it'd avoid people getting too peeved.
*chuckle*

Yup, the days of Zot and after-zot parties.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Some days are diamonds

[Darksheare]

True.
Very true.

Sorry guys, old thread that I bumped out of 'remember this' purposes.
*embarrassed*
Wish there was a way to post without bumping stuff.
