Minnesota Protest Results in 16 Arrests
Proving better late than never, more than 200 protesters tramped around Minneapolis Thursday to protest the Iraq war's fifth anniversary, the Minnesota Daily reports. This particular protest was more than a full week after people all over the country came out with their signs, masks, and chants to take a stand against the war.
Sixteen people were arrested at the Minneapolis protest, including a handful of University of Minnesota students, after they entered a National Guard recruiting office and "[took] over the second floor and hallway of the building," the police said.

Democracy in Action
I am very happy to hear that people, especially our youth are speaking their minds. I hope they do the same thing at the voting booth in November.
Unfortunately
Minnesota's larger urban areas are infested with do-gooder-anarchists. They think they are being oh-so-brave with their counter-culture protests. Never realizing just how safe they are doing such things here in Americe BECAUSE of the military they hate.
