Fresno FReep to Counter Protest the Peaceniks
10/12/01

Posted on 10/12/2001 10:53:29 PM PDT by mtngrl@vrwc

This evening's counter-demonstration against the Fresno Peaceniks was a wonderful FReep! There were 22 of us by my count and the response from the passers by was fabulous! There weren't any negative gestures or retorts, but who can argue with "Support our troops" and "Honk if you love America"?

There were probably three times as many peaceniks as there were of us, but our numbers grew as the evening wore on while their numbers dwindled. They left before we did, much to our delight!

We chanted such slogans as "It doesn't matter what you say, We're going to bomb them anyway," "USA, USA, USA.....," "Osama, Yo Mama," "No Justice - No Peace," and "Support our troops".

JustAmy was the first one to arrive this afternoon at about 4:00 and the last of us left after 8:00. Among the FReepers attending today's counter-protest were Jim Robinson, JustAmy, patriciaruth, goodieD, Mama_Bear and her husband; and mtngrl@vrwc and her daughter.

We had lots of lurkers show up (if you guys register, please let us know who you are). A few people who drove by came back and joined us. We had a lot of terrific signs that I am sure you are all anxious to see so I'll add the pictures I took to this post late tomorrow. I know other people took pictures too, so if you got 'em, post 'em!

Ask these idiots what they would have chosen

1) burn to death or

2) jump from a 110 story building?

No American should ever be faced with that decision at the hands of a terrorist again. End of discussion.

Yes, I will also post the pictures that Jeff took on this thread tomorrow.

I'm just not up to it tonight. It wasn't the freeping that did me in, it was that huge dinner at the Outback. :-)

The peaceniks say they will be congregating on the corner of Shaw and Blackstone every Friday from about 4 to 7 until the war is over. As long as they are there, we will be too.

Next Friday night at 4:00 or so, I hope to see you there!

You guys are the greatest. Is there a way to do a massive 'citizen's arrest' on the bin-witted lefties? Libs are all whacked out on government cheese if you ask me lol. Thanx for being cool.

Tomorrow at what time?

LOL , I have to leave at 8:30 am...comeon get the pictures up.

All kidding aside, good job ladies and gentlemen...now that it seems you'all go to dinner at Outback afterwards, I will make it for sure in a couple of weeks, unless those burned out hippies can afford to give up a few tokes and buy a clue instead...
