You're against the war?
Fine.
You wanna protest?
Again, fine.
You want to lynch, in effigy, a US soldier?
Not fine.



Not shown in the pictures are the two huge Iraqi flags hanging in the windows.
BTW, the homowners live in Berkeley.

Discuss.

What a disgusting display. Unfortunately these clowns are protected under the first amendment.

I would die for their right to be able to do that. However, it would probably turn into an ugly situation if I happened to be visiting that area.

The offensive display is on a unoccupied house in Land Park.

In general, I'd agree with you, but there are restrictions on what you can "say'.

That doll is in Land Park, Sacramento about 10miles away from me.

I bet if you hung a cabbage patch kid by a hanger they'd tear the doll down in rage. Sorta gets back to my whole argument on a Solider's freewill as opposed to a Mother taking the will of her baby into her own hands. The Soldier's freewill far surpasses the child’s for those of you that are prior service. Otherwise you'd be zip-tied for weeks until you got on that plane for the desert.

Although this and abortion make me severely upset, I’m going have to agree with gpatmac on this one in both situations. It's gotten to the point where I don't even view people with such idiotic, hypocritical statements as people and it makes it a little easier to swallow.

Can they make it any easier?

I'm up for a little black-Ops in Land Park this weekend.

Someone bring a towel to wrap around the current dolls head and I’ll bring the hanger and cabbage patch kid.

When are extremist-liberals going to learn that this makes them look very bad and ignorant?

Of course.

The thing about this display that really pisses me off is that it looks as though it's attacking soldiers. If these people really wanted to make the statement I think they want to make (that they are against the war), they would recognize that individual soldiers have no sway over the decision to go to war. They don't like a gov't decision, so they hang a fake soldier...definatly some misplaced anger.
