From InsideBayArea.com:
Hey-hey, ho-ho, the Marines in Berkeley have got to go.
That’s the message from the Berkeley City Council, which voted 6-3, with Gordon Wozniak, Betty Olds and Kriss Worthington dissenting, to tell the Marines that its Shattuck Avenue recruiting station “is not welcome in the city, and if recruiters choose to stay, they do so as uninvited and unwelcome intruders.”
It also voted 7-2, with Wozniak and Olds dissenting, to explore enforcing its law prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation against the Marines and to encourage the women’s peace group Code Pink to protest in front of the station.
In a separate item, the council voted 8-1 to give Code Pink a designated parking space in front of the recruiting station once a week for six months and a free sound permit for protesting once a week from noon to 4 p.m.
“I believe in the Code Pink cause. The Marines don’t belong here, they shouldn’t have come here, and they should leave,” Berkeley Mayor Tom Bates said after votes were cast.
It’s Ironic that these Pink Morons have the freedom to protest because of great people like the Marines. Why do these worthless cowards want to hug our enemy and prevent young Americans from wanting to join a proud organization thats been around and done great things for such a long time. These people are cowards, and anyone supporting them including the Mayor should get down on their knees and beg for forgiveness. Marines, Soldiers, Seaman, and Airman keep us safe, they do their duty and are proud of it.
