This is no joke people. Dont protest against the war in Iraq. Why? I have a few police friends, one is the commander of the mobile swat team, the other is the chief of police in mobile. They were talking about a new "special" plan that they have against protesters, and said other police stations across America will do the same as they will do.
If a protest starts, they will send in "sleepers" Sleepers are police, dressed up as civis, designed to create and start a riot to make the crowd look like they are attacking the police. First, they will throw rocks. Second, if the protesters acctually start getting into it, they will throw firebombs, but away from the police, and at thier shields. Now, what does this look like? A bunch of "peacefull" anti-war protesters chunking firebombs at police? Now around that time, one of the sleepers will fire of a gun. Thats when bad stuff happens.
I am for the war, but I am not just saying this to make you guys believe in it. I am worried and concerend.
sorry for the bad grammer, but I am typing this in a hurry at school. Please, I dont want you guys to get hurt.

Good luck.
The Stasi sent battalions of people in there to create violence within the crowds. Didn't work - the amount of non-violent people was just too big.
I don't doubt the probability of this, it's been an option used by pretty much every police force in the last two centuries, but should the crowd be determined and intelligent enough - and every protestor should figure that out by himself when arriving - no harm can be done by such sleepers.
Anyway, the US haven't declared wars since 1942, so I somehow doubt this'll be different.
At my school, some people were planning one and so they went to see the Headmistress (God knows why) and now instead of a protest they are writing a letter to Tony Blair (the biggest waste of a second class stamp I have ever heard of) and have organised a prayer service.
There we go bloody democracy in action.
I don't know - probably the biggest factor in people being pro-war is the fact that there are idiots like these who are against it.
Sorry in my post I didn't mean protesting doesn't work.
I meant that every school in my area has already had one walk out (more than likely fueled by people wanting to miss school) and so the teachers were expecting one and had plans drawn up ready to deal with one.
It would have lasted all of 6 seconds and the ringleaders in quite serious trouble all for no reason at all really.
He also tried to run for President. At age 18. *sigh*
If your gonna protest something, at least protest something peacefully and intelligently.
Whether I agree with it or not, go ahead and protest. It's your right. I have also never seen any rule regarding protests after formal war is declared. Any links?
I'm pleased that people do feel able to protest despite the patriotic pressure; I've been somewhat dismayed by pictures of people busy burning Dixie Chick CDs, and DJs refusing to play them, just because one of them said they didn't like the president. Surely they should be refusing to play them on artistic grounds <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> (sorry).
LOL. No Apologies necessary.
Most of America's youth chooses to rally under the "My country 'sux' and I hate it". I'm still trying to find when this became the norm, or why these people are allowed to continue and leech off of my tax dollars... but no luck.
As for the protestors... AFAIK, there's no "formal" declaration of war, so as long as the protest was peaceful (which I doubt), they should be allowed to continue. However, it should be known that these are the same people that, if the draft were re-instated (highly doubtful), would make a b-line to Canada, and in my book, should not be allowed to return.
I just hope hope that when/if I return from Korea, these aren't the people that will spit on me from behind a police line.
"Apparently it has become obvious that our protest signs, banners, marches and demonstrations have yet to make an impact on those in power as they proceed with their imperialist agenda for war"
"Through education, and direct action, our communities can become self-sufficient where we no longer have to rely on the current economic or political system as a way of life. Stopping the U.S war machine begins at home, with direct action. Now is the time to intensify this struggle. "We can set up a network of decentralized non-hierarchal committees within the community capable of providing food, clothes, shelter and self defense to the community; self-defense to insure that our communities remain independent from the jurisdiction of the political and class state."
The way our goverment handles situations of political dissidence makes me want to sort of keep my opinions on the "down low" if you get my drift. I would advise other Americans who SEE what is going on with our government to do the same.
