Shooting the Messenger

Or at least trying to intimidate him.

SEATTLE (AP) — Students from area universities, colleges and high schools rallied Monday outside a military recruiting station downtown, pounding on windows and demanding an end to U.S. operations in Iraq.

Protests also were staged outside recruiting stations north of Seattle and in the University District next to the University of Washington. Students called for an end to military recruitment in schools and said money spent on the war should be used to better fund all levels of public education.

The demonstrations downtown and in the University District each attracted three or four dozen protesters. There were no arrests.

Yes, at least a full 36 people showed up to harass military recruiters! What a show of force and will!

Jeez-louise.

This whole hubbub has been instigated by a woman named Amy Hagopian. Mz. Hagopian is the ‘co-chairwoman’ of the Parent-Teacher-Student association here in Seattle. She uses her skill of hyperbole, learned from being a leading bullshit artist for the dhimmitude-loving left, to scare parents and students.

She most recently showed off her skills at Seattle’s Garfield High School, where she was able to get a passing vote from the PTSA for the banning of military recruiters from the campus, therefore losing federal funding for the school under the Solomon Amendment.

As I wrote above, the protesters tried to intimidate recruiters from the USMC to punish them for the policies of a President Mz. Hagopian disagrees with. Of course, they did not succeed with their acts of intimidation. They are Marines, after all.
