Protesters Arrested Near Bush's Ranch
Drudge ^ | 11/23/05 | ANGELA K. BROWN

A dozen war protesters were arrested Wednesday for setting up camp near President Bush's ranch in defiance of new local bans on roadside camping and parking.

About four hours after the group pitched six tents and huddled in sleeping bags and blankets, McLennan County sheriff's deputies arrested them for criminal trespassing.

Another dozen or so demonstrators left the public right of way after deputies warned them they would be arrested.

The protest was set to coincide with Bush's Thanksgiving ranch visit.

The arrests were made by more than two dozen deputies who calmly approached the demonstrators in their tents and asked if they wanted to walk out on their own or be carried. Two chose to be carried. They were to be taken to jail for booking.

Anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan wasn't among the protesters Wednesday because of a family emergency in California, but she planned to be at the camp later in the week.

You did it right. And, man, it's great stuff. Of course, they wanted to be carried. They don't want to do anything for themselves (see welfare, etc.).

You did fine. ;) "The arrests were made by more than two dozen deputies who calmly approached the demonstrators in their tents and asked if they wanted to walk out on their own or be carried. Two chose to be carried.

I wonder if there is any repercussions if the officers accidentally drop them on the pavement.

The people of Crawford shouldn't have tpo put up with the endless circus of unlimited protests, trespassing on private property and blocking traffic.

On the other hand there needs to be some legal way to protest - I can understand arresting the campers - it's not a camp site. But I'm not sure about threatening a small group standing on a public right of way... maybe they needed a permit but there needs to be some way to protest.

Now that she knows she will get arrested, I bet she calls all the Networks and cable news shows with the exact time of arrival. I hope who Mom doesn't have another stroke.

Won't happen, the leftist media dumped her good after she hassled the Beast. They DEFINITELY don't won't to give her a public platform after the the recent 403-3 vote!

Nice picture - I really don't mind one person (lawfully) protesting - what I want to know is who is behind / financing her group?
