DC Recruiting Center Under Attack: Rocks and Paint Bombs: Cops Under Orders to do Nothing
On-Scene Call From Kristinn | March 19, 2008

Posted on 03/19/2008 1:48:04 PM PDT by 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.

It was bottles filled with paint.
paint ball guns are illegal inside DC city limits, otherwise I'd have mine everytime I went.

I don’t where you got “we won” from.

From the moment that felony crimes were committed and this was not declared a mod, and the police were not allowed to restore order by any means necessary, including the use of deadly force, we lost.

These people have no conscience. They are mocking the words of General Douglas MacArthur:

“Let civilian voices argue the merits or demerits of our processes of government; whether our strength is being sapped by deficit financing, indulged in too long, by federal paternalism grown too mighty, by power groups grown too arrogant, by politics grown too corrupt, by crime grown too rampant, by morals grown too low, by taxes grown too high, by extremists grown too violent; whether our personal liberties are as thorough and complete as they should be. These great national problems are not for your professional participation or military solution. Your guidepost stands out like a ten-fold beacon in the night: Duty, Honor, Country.

You are the leaven which binds together the entire fabric of our national system of defense. From your ranks come the great captains who hold the nation’s destiny in their hands the moment the war tocsin sounds. The Long Gray Line has never failed us. Were you to do so, a million ghosts in olive drab, in brown khaki, in blue and gray, would rise from their white crosses thundering those magic words: Duty, Honor, Country.”

I pray the ghost of the good general rises up and visits their homes.

Their only chant is, “Question Authority, Dishonor, Anarchy.” Scum-sucking freaks.

I’m confused: I was there from about 11-1 something (was kinda shocked to see myself on H&C); did the ‘bats come back after that?

GM, dear.

the TRUTH is that we FIRST have to get DECENT/intelligent/HONEST people in the Mayor's office & REPLACE all of the DC Council.

"kathy the KOOK" is no better/worse than the rest of the group of DIMocRATS,fascits, HATERS, fools, BIGOTS,nitwits, "useful idiots" & CROOKS that "run" the DC government.

the chances the chances of RELACING "the whole bunch" is ZILCH.

my guess is that the ONLY way to clean-up the MESS,is for the congress to REVOKE "home rule" & appoint COMPETENT/HONEST people to run it.

do you not understand that the "motley crew of crooks & idiots" that run the DC government are IN AGREEMENT with the IDIOTS/criminals, who are in "daily kos", "moveon.org", "A.N.S.W.E.R." & a hundred other groups of HATERS/bigots/"useful idiots" & some "rather BRIGHT PINK, if not exactly RED, types"???

i'm old enough to REMEMBER the integration of Little Rock Central HS (and i knew Daisy Bates!!!).

there was a HUGE DIFFERENCE in the two incidents.

at Little Rock, the ARNG & the 101st were WELCOMED by most everyone in town & were constantly HONORED for their service by even the most extreme of the "demonstrators" & "counter-demonstrators". (after all, southerners are pretty patriotic as a group, UNLIKE the LEFTIST/HATE-filled, "internationalist",FILTH that attacked the recruiting station.)

Apparently they did. The second pass included the throwing of paint bombs. Unfortunately the LEOs were blinded a did not see who threw the paint. As a result, no arrests were made.

That’s the problem with DC, they keep letting all this outside trash in to cause trouble and tell the cops not to do anything about it. These anti-American loonies should be deported to some place where they’d be happier, say Libya, Sudan, North Korea, or Zimbabwe. I’m sure those places would be just tickled when these goons started “protesting”!

you have to WANT TO SEE to see & make apprehensions.

the MPD is BLIND/DEAF, when it comes to arresting LEFTISTS. the MPD "leadership" is more interested in "ripping off" visitors to DC, collecting parking fines & making $$$$$$$$$$.

Clowns. Now I wish I had stayed longer. Course, if the LEO’s weren’t really paying attention, maybe we could’ve all had it out then and there.....
