Tomorrow's San Diego "Walk for Peace" counter protest- Protest Warriors
CODEPINK ALERT!

On Sunday, August 8th, CodePink San Diego will again be at the corner of Sixth and Laurel (in San Diego) at NOON for our twice a month "walk for peace" through beautiful Balboa Park. The difference between this Sunday and previous ones, is we are expecting a large number of counter protesters.

A group calling themselves "Protest Warriors" have been distributing flyers about "silly prancing women in pink prattling about politics", taking endless pictures (which they have posted on their website) and refusing to not mix in with our group.

We have invited other activists groups to stand with us in solidarity, and would like to extend that invitation to you.

In addition to our "walk for peace", CodePink San Diego will have a booth (#819) at Cityfest that same day, from 10AM til 7PM, and will be tabling at the Ozomatli show (4th and B) that evening. Please consider driving down for the day, to stand with us in solidarity. For additional info, please contact: worldpeacevolunteer@yahoo.com.

peace,

Candace

1. OOOOOOHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Scary :scared: Protest Warriors :scared:

What a bunch of dinks. There isn't a warrior in the bunch. Ask them why, if they support Bush's folly so much and they're such great "warriors", are they NOT in Iraq trying to spread freedom to the heathens there?

Chicken shits, that's why.

3. Watch these guys very carefully
Protest Warrior attempted to disrupt the peace march in San Francisco last June. I don't mean counter-demonstrate, which would have been perfectly fine with me; I mean disrupt.

At one point, near the end of the parade route on Market Street at and Davis Street, the contingent from Protest Warrior formed a line stretching from one side of the street to the other and stopped, temporarily preventing those behind them from moving forward. Fortunately, the march organizers from International ANSWER were aware of the group and their plans; they were ready for them and forced them aside, allowing the peace marchers to move on without a major incident.

These are fascists who will attempt to drown out dissent, which they regard as disloyal. It should be assumed that their purpose is to cause trouble. Be ready for anything and let the police know about it.

4. More on Protest Warriors


>>The Protest Warriors are a group of people who infiltrate, crash and attempt to disrupt legal, peaceable assemblies. They say they base their actions on the first amendment of the US Constitution. Here's what the First Amendment says:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

I am here to challenge the Protest Warriors and show them that their whole organization is based on illegal, immoral and unconstitutional behavior. With this article, I will prove that:

1.) The Contitution says that people may peaceably assemble to petition the government. The Protest Warriors are not petitioning the government when they do what they do. They are petitioning Americans who are legally excercising their constitutional right to peaceably assemble. This alone is unconstitutional behavior and reason enough for the Protest Warriors to cease these actions. By disrupting the rights of American people to a PEACEABLE assembly, by antagonization and other NON-PEACEFUL acts, the Protest Warriors are actually stomping all over the constitutional rights that they claim they wish to uphold.

2.) The protesters that the Protest Warriors antagonize have obtained a legal permit to peaceably assemble. The Protest Warriors have not. The permit is for an Anti-War rally and clearly the Protset Warriors are not there for that purpose. The Protest Warriors have as much right to assemble on the anti-war permit as a monster truck show has to do the same...None! It is illegal for them to assemble without a permit, but they feel they are above that law because of the way they interpret the constitution. If they tried to obtain a permit to protest the peaceable assemblers, they would have been denied because no city wants instigators infiltrating huge crowds in the city street. Protest Warriors are intentially trying to instigate people in large crowds. They are trying to cause chaos and violence to erupt.

3.) The Protest Warriors knowingly engage in illegal activity including the illegal sale of copyrighted material for their own commercial gain.

4.) The Protest Warriors are not tolerant of any human who does not think like they do. They speak absolutely horrible, offensive things about gay people, Muslims, people of non-white ethnic backgrounds, "the left", "liberals" and anyone else who does not mirror their interpretation of what an American should be.

5.) The Protest Warriors advocate gun violence against these Americans and non-Americans who do not think the same way as themselves. They try to teach gun violence to young people.

6. ) The Protest Warriors are PRO-Censorship and PRO- invasion of privacy. While they preach against it, they edit and censor the posts in their very own forums.

7.) More! << http://www.rocknrev.com/pw/protestwarrior.html

5. I confronted these guys in SF and I have a bit of advise
Edited on Sat Aug-07-04 01:27 PM by proud patriot
they are mostly young people who are under orders to mock
with hand gestures but remain silent to debate , their
leader one old guy is the one allowed to debate . Their
Job is to infuriate you don't let them (note this is a very
hard, and my advise includes lessons I learned from my
confrontation )

Rule 1 ) they want you to call them Nazis and Fascists
so don't call them that . They want you to be the radicals
so don't give them what they want .

Rule 2) get patriotic , it really gets their goat
because they believe they are patriots yet at their
website they advocate the killing of American Citizens.
2 examples: at their website one poster has an avatar
of a T-Shirt which says "Join Us Now or Work For Us Later"
another user posted a picture of himself in sniper position
wearing a T-shirt that states , "If all else fails Vote from the rooftops." the animation on the T-shirt shows a sniper .

so call them on it ...Call Them "Traitors to the Constitution"
Mention Valerie Plame , and the Patriot act. Mention that
they advocate the killing American Citizens on their website .
(hopefully the police will check out their website )

Chant " We are the Patriots you are the loyalists "
Chant "bad boys bad boys what you gonna do when ashcroft
comes for you" :evilgrin:

If you can go to their website and get their homepage
protest warrior logo make a poster with the caption
"Traitors to the constitution who advocate Killing Americans"

Good luck
I hope that helps
My best
