Freepers attempted to reserve Fayetteville antiwar protest site

I don't have a link to this, but it's on http://www.fayettevillenc.com somewhere.

You'll love this: It turns out that the Monday after last year's Fayetteville antiwar protest, the Old North State Chapter of Free Republic attempted to reserve Rowan Park, where the protest was, for a "support the troops" picnic. Fortunately for the protest, the Fayetteville Parks Department won't allow the park to be reserved for picnics.

Which means that the protest will still be at Rowan Park, the freepers will still be standing outside calling us un-American, and I'm gonna get a piece of posterboard, write the phone number of the Army recruiter on it, and stand right in front of the freepers with it.

Can you post some pics afterwards? It'd be funny to see if any one of those chickenhawks respond to it. I bet if they do, they'll flip you off or some other intelligent gesture like that.

I grew up in Fayetteville! I'm glad there are some people who have sense still living there. :) I wonder if Rowan Park has changed much - it could be kinda crowded.

I'm going to look up the article, maybe directions Ft Bragg with instructions to "go sign up" are in order! :)

I know for their "REALLY BIG" rallies in D.C. they may get 30 or so, and that's being extremely generous. Usually there are more porta-pottys than people.
I wouldn't be too concerned, they're cowards at heart. You couldn't get one of them to a Army recruiter dragging him with a tractor. Chicken-hawks, all.

There was one guy just standing there going on and on and on and on and on about Fahrenheit 911 and how our boasting that it sold out the theater it was in was BS because "it only sold out the Cameo, which has about a hundred seats in it." (The Cameo is a little art theatre downtown. It's pretty nice. It gets a lot of Sundance stuff.) FWIW, it was also at one of the Carmike 12-screen theatres in town, where it played in two rooms because the crowds wouldn't fit in just one.

And yes, in case you're wondering, they had one porta-potty per freeper.

I think most freepers stay away from Fayetteville because they're afraid that while they're protesting our antiwar protest, some worn-out old first sergeant who's called the Last Roll Call one time too many will just walk across the little fence and cold-cock them all. (The Last Roll Call is something done at military funerals for active-duty troops. The first sergeant will take his company roster in hand and start calling the roll:

Specialist Jones? "Here, First Sergeant!"
Specialist Johnson? "Here, First Sergeant!"
Private King? "Here, First Sergeant!"
Corporal Lewis? (Corporal Lewis can't hear the first sergeant through the flag draped over his casket.)
Corporal Lewis?
Corporal Joseph Lewis?
Sergeant Martin? "Here, First Sergeant!")

They will probably be glad to give you a poster with their numbers already printed on it.

You can add the 'when are YOU going to call?' yourself.

Save the lazy bastards the trouble of dialing the number. Hell, a good recruiter would give you big bucks for THOSE digits. Problem is, of course,that the armed forces have standards.
