DC Recruiting Center Under Attack: Rocks and Paint Bombs: Cops Under Orders to do Nothing

On-Scene Call From Kristinn | March 19, 2008

[tgslTakoma]

Just got a call from Kristinn on-scene.

This is the SECOND round of attacks that the station and Freepers have withstood today.

Cops are clearing the street of cars so the violent radicals can march down the street to the recruiting center unencumbered.

Crowds have been throwing rocks, paint bombs in GLASS bottles, water bottles, and anything esle they can throw.

MPDC Chief Cathy Lanier was there before the attacks, ORDERING HER OFFICERS to DO NOTHING if the station was attacked.

No arrests are being made.

More info as I get it.

Kristinn is asking any Freepers and Friends in the area to come down and stand with the Freepers there now.

Be aware that this is not a place for children.

I agree. The guy is off his nut in a big way and should have been blue papered long ago.

Met someone this evening that knows Cathy Lanier professionally. Apparently she is not liked at all by many under her command! I can’t imagine what the feeling’s will be when the SH!T hits the fan tomorrow.
And just as a added bonus even her Admin. abilities are questionable.
Wish I had been part of this today... I missed all the fun. But rest assured that if one of those troll bridge sitting, commie cootie wenches come anywhere near my local recruiting station this country girl is going to show a side of herself no one has ever seen.

What were those men thinking when they saw someone pull a paint ball gun on them? I think they had every right to return fire.

[keats5]

Why are the peace protesters so violent?

[Exit148]

Doesn’t that idiot “Ms Stars on her shoulders” realize that she is giving the go-ahead to all protestors who can now do as they wish? I hope she is beseiged with calls!!

[Abigail Adams]

How many officers were in front of the recruiting station?

[tgslTakoma]

Per Kristinn, it was glass containers of paint.

The police did not collect the broken containers, or the rocks after the attack; but Kristinn and others with him did.

[tgslTakoma]

Maybe she wants them to like her?

[tgslTakoma]

Abigail Adams is wondering how many officers were at the recruiting center today?

[El Gato]

MPDC Chief Cathy Lanier was there before the attacks, ORDERING HER OFFICERS to DO NOTHING if the station was attacked.

She should be immediately sacked by the President, or Congress, going over the head of the DC council, which has no real power that Congress can't take back anytime they wish.

At least now we know why da Mayor and his police chief want our guns.

[El Gato]

There is a Marine barracks in the District of Columbia. Could the Marines guard the recruiting center or is that a violation of the Posse Comitatus law

Not if they are guarding a Marine, or for that matter any federal, facility.

That’s the New SDS (you know the group the Weathermen bombers were part of) site. They are doing their thang tomorrow. There is a list of “participating schools”, including high schools at the link.

[ELS]

Apparently she has allowed some arrests in other locations, but has FORBIDDEN the officers at the recruiting center location to take any action.

I don't get it. Their job is to enforce the law. She doesn't get to pick which laws are enforced.

[ELS]

"lanier" is an IDIOT & a DISGRACE to law enforcement.

How do we get her removed from office?

[Marine_Uncle]

If the damn fools where not so PC, and just went out in the streets and cracked open a few dozen heads with hickory sticks perhaps these morons would think twice about breaking the law.

[El Gato]

The protesters wore 'death masks' and placards with the names of soldiers, civilians, and journalists who have been killed in Afghanistan and Iraq since 2001.

Anyone whose son or daughter's name is used, and who did not give permission for these MoonRats to use the name should sue them until Soros doesn't have two Euros to rub together.

[El Gato]

Funny that the Police seem to be defending the IRS building, but not the Marine and Army recruiting stations. I'd say it's past time for the CinC to order the military to Prepare to Defend themselves and their post.

Bayonets only to begin with, but loaded magazines in the wells.

[Marysecretary]

The usual culprits. Surprise.

Thanks for posting this thread, the pics and the updates, Takoma! Wish you were!!!

Basil and the SASter were also there for the 2nd attack.

[Just A Nobody]

Rough guess.....25 to 40.
There was a SWAT team or two, 10-12 motorcycles and 4 squad cars were parked on the sidewalk.
