Anti-war protester arrested in Clearwater for carrying sign that looks a lot like THIS ONE By Carol Schiffler 23 Oct 2005 (FL) "On Saturday, October 22, a peaceful demonstration at the corner of Curlew Road and U.S. 19 in Clearwater attracted no less than five squad cars due to the presence of a sign deemed 'obscene' by some anonymous motorist that phoned in a complaint. In yet another display of spectacularly heavy-handed police tactics, the protester was arrested instead of merely being asked to put down his sign."

1. from the accompanying article-- GREAT COMMENTS....

It is interesting to note the rationale given by the anonymous motorist for removal of the sign (as communicated to the group by the Sheriff's Department)...something about having to explain it to his or her eight-year old daughter.

One wonders how this motorist explains children with limbs blown off by U.S. cluster bombs. One wonders how he might explain the concept of pre-emptive war and of the torture and indefinite detentions of people who may or may not be terrorists. One wonders how he might explain how U.S. sanctions punish the leader of a country by slowly starving the innocent civilians who have the audacity to live in a place we have decided that we don't like.

Oh yeah...that's right...he probably doesn't.

War is obscene. Torture is obscene. Stealing people's resources is obscene. Poisoning the earth for millions of years with depleted uranium weapons is obscene. Spending billions of dollars to promote death, while there is poverty, homelessness, disease and despair aplenty in your own hometown is obscene. These are far greater obscenities than a simple four-letter word, and yet the perpetrators of those crimes are not only allowed their freedom, they are supported in their profiteering by law enforcement officials all over the country who must scour pamphlets and call for reinforcements in order to find something, anything, that will trump the Constitution and stifle dissent.

4. I thought "fuck" was "in," ever since Cheney used it in the Senate

against a US senator.

7. So, it's perfectly acceptable for a sitting VP to say...

Go Fuck Yourself? Why wasn't he arrested? LOL

This administration should be tried for war crimes, every last one of them.
