There were a couple of things that struck me about the march itself. First, that some parents dragged their young children along, children who likely didn’t know what the fuss was all about. One young girl who looked to be about eight years old was among a line of marchers “tied” together in solidarity. She looked terrified…and who could blame her? With all the noise, shouting, and angry people surrounding her, I know I truly felt sorry for her, and angry at the parent who forced her to take part in something so…so uncouth. Unfortunately, she was not the only frightened, confused child I saw. I thought of my children, ages 14 and 11, who I left at home, determined they shouldn’t be at such an event until they are both much older and freely willing to take part.”
Further, they made a chain of kids, holding hands, with a few adults sprinkled in the chain. The chain was taken along the perimeter between the communists and the patriots. Can you say “human shields, anyone”?
It was difficult to watch.
Support our troops: Send Pink over there.
I also felt bad for those kids.
My 14 year old was with me at the event,but not because I forced her,but because she wanted to be there.I talked to her about what she will encounter and what she will hear from the moonbats long before I made the decision to agree to take her along.
She was very persisting on wanting to do this and since it was her choice I took her along.
She handled herself well and told me she would do it again in a heart beat.
She understands the importance of supporting our troops and why we have to counter the likes of Code Pink.
