[GPSCC-chat] [VFP_101] Peace on earth to President Obama from Veterans

[fred]

Pro-Peace Friends,

Although I have seen nothing in the Bay Area TV Media or in today's S.F. 
Chronicle about San Francisco's part in the December 16 country wide 
anti-war demonstrations, there WAS A significant Veterans For Peace(VFP) 
cosponsored PROTEST at the U.S. Federal Building (Mission & 7th St.) 
from Noon on into the afternoon.  In fact, at noon, 20 - 30 civil 
disobedience protesters did recline on the concrete plazas to block the 
building's two main entrances and to get arrested. At least 100 people 
attended the event.  (My daughter, Cheryl, and I left about 2:15 PM and 
are not aware of what happened after that.)

Fred D.

To me it is appalling that there is so little outrage over the U.S. 
occupations of Afghanistan and Iraq.  Can the complacency be attributed 
to the traditional fuss over the Holiday Season, or has our population 
become even more desensitized.?
