How do you justify arresting these guys? Who has a better right than they?


More than a dozen members of an antiwar veterans group were arrested yesterday as they protested the exclusion of their message from Boston’s Veterans Day parade.1112 03Members of Veterans for Peace lined up in front of a podium at City Hall Plaza holding antiwar placards, as color guards from Massachusetts military units and JROTC bands from across the state filed into Government Center for a ceremony, sponsored by the American Legion, to honor veterans after the parade. Some protesters wore gags, which they later said symbolized the fact that, while they were permitted to march in the parade, they were prevented from carrying signs opposing the war in Iraq.

Well, they will get more attention now that they have been arrested.

I just hope more join in and make it where they cannot be ignored.

Lots of press coverage would be a start.

Yep, but the media is not that concerned with the problem or so it seems. sad!

I agree CHUQ. If the media put more pressure on the politicians over this issue something might change. The only wat to bring about change is to shame the people in charge.

Shaming the American people would help also. Then they can shame the politicians.

Americans have no shame. Their ego won't allow it.
