Well, I would have attacked them thinking they were bombers.

They are lucky to be alive.

No matter how many times it's rehashed, I can't enjoy this story enough!

I remember a Greenpeace incident a few years ago where they came speeding into the piers at Norfolk Naval Base and threw paint on one of the nuclear attack submarines. They whined to the press about being "attacked" with water from the ship's firehoses. I'd like to see them try that stunt today. Do that a few times and there would be no more Greenpeace.

Like Greenpeace, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) are facing more resistance when they take their protests out to the public sector.
In October 2002 police had to break up an animal rights protest when school children in Aberdeen, Scotland pelted activists with cartons of milk.

< snip >

About 100 children, shouting "Milk for the masses!" and carrying banners surrounded Gifford and his partner "the cow". They drenched the hapless pair in milk for 10 minutes until the police eventually intervened to escort the activists back to their car.

Greenpeace in nothing more than a business.

And these events are nothing except a means of getting free publicity so they can con more socialists and envirofreaks into sending them more money for their overinflated salaries.

Its time government start charging them for tresspassing, damages, assaults, etc and giving these lunkheads some real jail time and huge fines.

By God, that's the way to deal with them. Give them one warning (as a courtesy) to take their little magic act elsewhere, or drag 'em out, face-down and feet first.

Two Greenpeacers were actually hospitalized, one with a broken jaw, the other with concussion.

Don't smirk...hold it in. Don't laugh. Hold it. Hold it......

I hope Greenpeace shows up where Manchester United fans are gathered one day.

One protester concluded: "I have never seen anyone less amenable to our point of view."

Uh Pot ... Kettle on line two.

Not only do I find reading this to be enjoyable, it would be even more so, if we had a video of the whole thing. I wonder if any of the trespassers were charged.

"Sean Gifford of PETA and an unidentified man dressed as a cow had planned a peaceful protest at the gates of a grammar school to let pupils know of the claimed hazards in drinking milk.

But the two men had to be rescued by two female officers when the teenaged pupils launched a violent protest of their own.

About 100 children, shouting "Milk for the masses!" and carrying banners surrounded Gifford and his partner "the cow". They drenched the hapless pair in milk for 10 minutes until the police eventually intervened to escort the activists back to their car."

BWAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

That's good stuff! You can't buy that kinda comedy.
