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.

Good...let mother Turbin Ali-Sheehan come back down to Texas now and get thrown in the hoosegow as well.
Amen!
They never learn
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.).
Well, I guess we know why Ms. Sheehan "delayed". I don'tthink she's coming at all...
I wonder if there is any repercussions if the officers accidentally drop them on the pavement.
Excellent. Wonder how the jailhouse chow is for T-day?
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.
DON'T MESS WITH TEXAS
Oh YAWN! I think they simply have no LOVED ONES to eat turkey with on one of America's finest holidays. They must be truly insane.
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.
They can protest all they want at the "Peace" House in town.
Oh no Cindy Seahag is trying to find someone to pay attention to her again!!!!!
No tofurky for them.
Give the protesters a heapin' bowl of 'Cut 'n Run' Chili!
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?
do these people have lives?
