Surprise!: Boston Globe Discovers Anti-War Protests
"Antiwar protest riles fallen soldier's father; Amid the uproar, N.H. organization pulls boot display" by Associated Press | June 1, 2008
CORNISH, N.H. - The father of a fallen New Hampshire soldier says a peace group in the town disrespected his son's memory by using his name in a display.
Cornish Women for Peace labeled about two-dozen pairs of boots with the names of soldiers who died in Iraq and Afghanistan and displayed them in town. One of the boots bore the name of 22-year-old Justin Rollins, who was killed in Iraq last year.
The group said it was honoring the soldiers' memory and trying to get people to think about their loss. But Rollins's father, Skip, said the boots were a disgrace.
"I've been stressed out for a week, not sleeping at night, knowing the names are on the boots, disrespecting these kids," Rollins said. "This is not about politics, this is about respect. I believe everyone has the right to demonstrate and protest, but they have no right to use our son's name on their antiwar display."
But it is o.k. for the shit hole mass-murdering president to LIE them into a WAR, huh?
That's "respecting" the troops, huh, shitter?
During the past two weeks, the collection of more than a dozen pairs of boots has been displayed in the Cornish town offices as part of a nationwide awareness project dubbed "Eyes Wide Open."
So WHERE were those articles, Globe?
How come you haven't got to it until now?
Cornish Women for Peace planned to display the boots at the town's annual Memorial Day ceremony, but did not, after Skip Rollins spoke up.
Rollins said that in the past few days he had been contacted by families of six other fallen New Hampshire soldiers who objected to the boots display. Selectmen in Cornish asked the group to drop their protest plans.
"Our intent was to honor those who died in conflict," said John Hammond, chairman of the Board of Selectmen. "It was not a political statement. We don't want Memorial Day to become a political issue. There's always controversy in war, and we didn't feel it was appropriate to create a controversy here."
Un-fucking-believable!!
Yeah, WAR is ONLY POLITICAL when you are AGAINST IT (Sig Heil)!!
And you wonder why I am RIP-ROARING MAD, huh?
Cornish Women for Peace, comprised of about 10 area residents, agreed to shelve the display out of respect for Rollins, group member Ginny Wood said.
Yup, WAR-MONGERING ASSHOLES up against NICE OLD LADIES!!!!
Guess who won again, readers?!
Thanks, SHIT AMERIKAN MSM!!!!!!!
After the ceremony, state Representative Carla Skinder brought Rollins to the boots, which were stored in her car.
Yeah, treat THEM with respect when we get none of it?
I have fucking HAD IT with that route!!!!!
He removed the labels that bore the names of his son and six other New Hampshire soldiers with whose families he had spoken.
Skinder, who backed the bill to name a bridge for Rollins and spoke at the dedication ceremony earlier in the week, agreed that the boots should not have been displayed, out of deference to the Rollins family.
Oooooooh, so he can have a BRIDGE NAMED AFTER HIM, but can't have his name on a pair of boots, huh?
Yup, but we CAN'T DEFER to PEACE PEOPLE!!!
"If someone who newly lost their son finds it offensive, that's their right," Skinder said.
And what about those who OPPOSE this ABOMINABLE ATROCITY known as the OCCUPATION of Iraq?
"We have to respect that. People have a right to demonstrate, but sometimes there's a time and place for everything, and if something causes so much hurt, sometimes we say no."
Yeah, so WHERE is MY RESPECT?
WHEN YOU GONNA STOP the OCCUPATION, assholes, because MY HEART HURTS and MY SOUL is WOUNDED!!!
Yeah, people have the right BUT...!!!
