Are these folks really that ignorant to stand and challenge marines entering a bldg? They are lucky they arent getting mowed over. The restraint shown by the Marines just shows how professional they really are

Of course, you nimwits wouldnt see that if it slapped you in your face.

If you go to the website for the USMC Officer Selection Office you'll find a section of photos of the protest taken by the staff of the Office. They are clearly planning to take it in stride, rather than being humiliated as Code Pink wants them to to.
They practically had to punch the Marine Captain to get any hostile reaction out of him. As a non-violent human I think I would have smacked Zanne when she launched into the "you can join us" and "you're meant to do what we say" stuff -- perhaps because I've heard the same tone from my small child, and know that he --- and she --- must be protected from themselves as often as they must be listened to.

Code Pink protests are all about attention for Code Pink. Its hard to ignore them, like its hard not to look at a car crash on the freeway, but Code Pink is worse -- the cars didn't crash to get make you look.
