Im with ya man.

Nothing but disdain for this traitorious woman.

This is the eventual fate that awaits all "human shields" that turn their backs on America.

She did not deserve to come back to this Nation, and would have and continued to use its resources to undermine the Republic. Yes, her parents raised a Communist nut-case -- but remember the apple doesnt fall far from the tree. The area they are located in is crawling with those of the Left.

nihlistic anarchist riff-raff=an idiot that jumped in front of a bulldozer

Are we on the same page?

Guess not!

[Psycho_Bunny]

That's exactly what I was thinking...aren't they insulting her memory? Literally?

[JoJo Gunn]

I can't believe the people around here with their hearts bleeding for that "woman". In case you bedwetters didn't see it, look again at the image in post #5. Look at the face of pure unadulterated HATE.

It's the hate of a Leftist, who would ram a shiv in your back in a nanosecond. To feel sorry for her is incredible weakness.

[JoJo Gunn]

Oops. My post was intended for "all".

[Psycho_Bunny]

What the hell are you blathering about? READ what was being said before flaming me.

Reading what's actually being said clears up all sorts of potential misunderstandings.

It's not tasteless, it's GREAT!
Sent it out to many friends!!

[JoJo Gunn]

See the post right above yours.

Who was the physician who house the bulldozer was destroying? What was the crime the doctor had convicted for that his house being destroyed?

The bulldozer was destroying tunnels used in smuggling guns from Egypt into Gaza.

The second photo is taken from a lower angle, down in the trench in which the dozer was operating.

I was looking at the lights. They look embedded in the cab in the first photo and then look like they're on braces in the second. But they may be mounted on the blade mechanism and the photo where they look embedded in the cab may be an illusion.

It's the same bulldozer. No need to whip out the tinfoil for no reason.

Plenty of reason. These are lefties. The landscape is different. Conflicting reports of her getting ran over and buried in debris.

The landscape is different because the two photos were taken at different times from different angles.

The first photo showing the front of the dozer and her shouting through the bullhorn appears to have been taken at a different time during the confrontation, by the presence of what appears to be tree roots or some such near the blade, perhaps during excavation work on a different tunnel than the trench into which she slipped.

In the shot from the side of the dozer towards her position, the sun is almost directly behind the bulldozer, casting distinct shadows, perhaps later in the day. Just because some minimum-wage English Lit graduate student caption writer decided to use the words "moments before" in their caption doesn't mean that's a reflection on reality.

The reason the lights appear embedded in the cab is because the shot was taken from a somewhat higher angle than the later shots taken from down in the trench where it becomes clear that the lights are mounted on braces, so the top of the cab happened to be in line with the position of the lights.

[sigh] That was my point!

That's what I said! Sheesh!

Word of mouth on the street. I know someone who knew the girl a few years ago. She then claimed to be a Jewish Believer. She had applied to work for a few Christian Organisations but they all turned her down as "something didn't feel right". At least that is what the guy said. They are pretty careful about who they allow to volunteer as one wacko could unravel years of relationships. I will ask him where he heard that.

He has been a pretty good source in the past, the guy knows a lot of people...

There are a bunch of tree-sitters who were disobeying court orders to dislodge themselves from their roost. Why should the loggers have to endanger themselves to remove these fools when a chainsaw would do the trick?

[hunter112]

The local Olympia newspaper is dripping with sweat from all the hand-wringing they have done over this. It's bad enough to have to put up with all the hippie scum from TESC around here, but to have the local newspaper cry about it is too much. That newspaper theoretically derives its income from advertising dollars from businesspeople who get shut down everytime the crybabies at TESC feel the need to block the streets with their self-indulgent marches. You never saw so many mush heads stuck in the 60's as this group.

I'd love it if all of them became human sheilds!

How insensitive, how heartless!

How do I get a copy <_/GRIN_>

Do not post that graphic again. Thanks.

Are those official Red Cross - Red Crescent workers participating in this protest?

[Liberal Classic]

Good post.
