Re: Re: Re: Re: Iraq Moratorium protests war at Silver Spring Metro

From what I heard it was but I got bad info. whatever. As far as smashing windows it does help send a message to the recruiters that they are not welcome and a lot of times it takes a while to replace them (even though they are so well funded) and seeing a smashed window drives away people. Plus smashing the window is just the start and is not a mobilization or anything, obviously.

I think you have to do whatever action you can and smashing up a recruiting station is really easy and if all you do is organize than nothing will happen but if you have groups organizing the community as well as people destroying the place and harassing the recruiters you can more successfully drive them out. Maybe you underestimate people's anger and willingness to see a smashed recruiting station, just think of the families that lost someone in Iraq or Afghanistan, maybe they won't show it on the outside but on the inside I am sure many of them support it!
