6 War Protesters Arrested For Disturbing Chicago Easter Mass

Six members of a group called Catholic Schoolgirls Against the War, were arrested yesterday, Easter, after standing up and screaming about Iraq while squirting fake blood all over themselves and other parishioners until security guards and ushers removed them, then the police arrested them.

    Police arrested the protesters and charged them with one count each of felony criminal damage to property and two counts each of misdemeanor simple battery.

    “Even the Pope calls for peace,” the demonstrators shouted as they were escorted out of a church auditorium where the Mass was held because the church proper is under construction.

    One Mass attendee, Mike Wainscott of Chicago, yelled at the anti-war protesters.

    “Are you happy with yourselves?” he said. “There were kids in there. You scared little kids with your selfish act. Are you happy now?”

Obviously they did care one iota about scaring the children and I want to point out a comparison here.

On Saturday, 400-600 Eagles Up and Move America Forward members that thundered into the town of Berkeley to stage their own protest….. please notice that not one of them were arrested or broke the law. (Report in following posts.)

I will ask again, why do “supposed” peace protesters always break the law and end up being arrested?

Is it because they aren’t as peaceful as they like to pretend to be?

Yup.

    Chicago police said all six were scheduled to appear in bond court on Monday to face the felony charge; they have court date set for March 31 on the misdemeanors.

Seems the numbers get smaller for these anti-war groups and their message gets lost in the disgust that people now view them because of their antics, especially on Easter and in a house of God.

    The red substance, which one protester later described as “stage blood,” initially drew gasps and a few terrified yelps from the 600 worshipers at the mass. The shock, however, quickly transformed into anger as people booed the six as they were escorted from the parish auditorium where the holiday service was taking place.

So, instead of making a point as they had hoped to, they scared children and angered the parishioners and got themselves arrested to boot.

Sounds about right.

EaglesUp, Patriot Guard Riders, the Lafayette Flag Brigade, Blue Star Mothers and motorcyle clubs from all across the western United States thundered into Berkeley in support of our Troops.

Move America Forward and the pro-troops groups wanted to deliver a positive message of strength and love for our military without significant interference from the anti-American, anti-troop crowd so it was done in a very secretive manner with little public advance notice.

Doug Lyvere of EaglesUp mustered over 600 bikers (updated) on Harley's, Ducatis, and every bike in between. Guys and gals drove in from Modesto, Turlock, Arizona, Wyoming, San Mateo, San Jose, Santa Clara, Contra Costa and supporters flew in from San Diego and L.A.

In all, there were close to 800 people there, and it surprised the media.

Move America Forward sent out press releases just two days before the event to the media.

The most deeply moving moment of the day came when a young man, fresh from Iraq and a close haircut, literally wandered into our gathering. He was stunned.

He had NO IDEA so many people supported him, especially in BERKELEY.

I wish I got our soldier's name, but he was a bit embarrassed because he was crying. I gave him a hard, long hug and whispered, "Welcome Home, Soldier."

That's when he really broke down.

God Bless our soldiers, and all of you. Never before in American history has there EVER been a counter protest movement to the so-called 'Peace Crowd', a fringe group of people who are screaming like hyenas, calling our troops thugs, baby-rapers and murderers.

They are NOT.

They are HEROES and I was proud to stand in support of their service and sacrifice.
