Protest du jour: Iraq War equipment returns

As equipment from Fort Lewis’s 4th Stryker Brigade is returned from Iraq from the cargo ship USNS Brittin at the Port of Tacoma this week, a coalition of anti-war, anti-military and peace activists say they plan peaceful and confrontational tactics to end military shipments to and from the port.

The Brittin has been offloading its substantial cargo since arriving home Tuesday, and activists from the Pacific Northwest say they will gather daily from 4 to 6 p.m. at the Tacoma Federal Courthouse, 1713 Pacific Avenue, to demand the military stop use of their civilian port.

They support the troops so much that they protest their return home.

Otherwise known as the “Bring the Troops Home Now, so we can protest them” tactic.

Now, this is a ship unloading its cargo right? Imagine if it was loading stuff like care packages and whatnot. Maybe say…some ceramic plates for kevlar vests?

Anti-War protestors kinda need to step back a little and breathe some fresh air, instead of some over AC’ed stuff you smell when walking past the starbucks.
