"Regional March and Rally
Saturday, Nov. 17th
1pm
Percival Landing at 4th & Water St. March to City Hall on to the Port Plaza.
Organized by Olympia Port Militarization Resistance
Since November 5th, our port has been occupied by the war machines from Iraq. The anti-war community came out to nonviolently protest demanding an end to the revolving door of war through Olympia; they were met with pepper spray, pepper balls, batons, tear gas, bean bag rounds, and concussion grenades. We are marching to end a cycle of violence now reinforced by police. This is the beginning of community accountability of the police. With a mass community movement we can cut off the war through our ports. We allow what goes in and out of our port. Civilian cargo yes, military no. For more info email olypmr@riseup.net"

What a crock of shit
"occupied"?
"nonviolently"?
maybe you meant different words there

we are not occupied
maybe we can ask the Palestinians if we are occupied

nonviolently
maybe the original intent was nonviolent, but i have seen enough video of dumpster being pushed in the road, concrete being thrown, people resisting arrest and removal when they are clearing in violation of the law, and protesters rushing police to know that those protests were not nonviolent

the OMPR continues to not take responsibility for their actions and the whining discredits the anti-war movement
