Anti-War Protest, The Loop, Chicago
Nancy and Josh and I came up from the subway at Clark/Lake today and found ourselves in the middle of an anti-war protest. Today marks the one year anniversary of the beginning of the Iraq war. Over 5,000 demonstrators flanked by police officers met on Michigan Avenue to march through the streets of downtown Chicago. Jesse Jackson addressed the crowd beforehand and urged everyone “It’s time to fight back: Remember in November.” The march was one of 250 anti-war protests scheduled around the country by United for Peace and Justice.

You just don’t get it do you hippies? Peace is not an option with these people, but you would not know that becuase you think if you love them and give them a hug everything will be ok. Well try it… Go over there and give them a hug, and get your head cut off. Oh and if your a male/Christian you will get your testicals cut off and then sit in pain for days before they behead you. There law system just convicted a man of being a Christain and they are putting him to death for it. You are the same type of people that spit on Jesus when he was dying, and now you are spitting on soldiers as they try to do their job. I hate that you benifit from my duty as a soldier. Damn hippies
