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

[Caroline Yacoub]

I saw Fred on KTVU news. I don't know why more people don't watch it. They 
showed Laura Wells' arrest, too.

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.)

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.?
