Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight..
OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) - About 50 people have been arrested as demonstrators tried to block shipments of military gear for an Army Stryker brigade that returned recently to nearby Fort Lewis from Iraq, police said.
Police wearing riot gear fired pepper spray bullets into a crowd of more than 150 protesters Tuesday night at the Port of Olympia and several military convoys eventually moved out.
There was no immediate word on charges. Those who were arrested were held on a transit bus under police guard.
During the disorders a window in a police cruiser was broken by several rocks and another rock hit an officer in the knee, police Lt. James Costa said.
Demonstrators also poured cement over railroad tracks at the port but were unsuccessful in halting trains, but port personnel removed the cement and no arrests were made for that part of the protest, which was coordinated by Olympia Port Militarization Resistance, Costa said.
...there were reports of unrest in the downtown area, where windows at U.S. Bank branch were shattered.

These stupid hippies are an insult to humanity. Does ANYONE else see the stupidity at work in them? They 'want to end the war'. They want to 'bring the troops home' - yet they're trying to STOP SHIPMENTS OF THE SOLDIERS' EQUIPMENT BACK TO HOME-STATION!!!?!!
(sigh). Idiots. Impenetrable ignorance run amok. The further folk get from Truth, the further they get from God, the more insane they become.
