Michelle Malkin » Sedition in Olympia: Anti-war mom drops baby human shield as anarchist kiddie shields watch


You need to click on the link and see the photos. To say this is getting to the point of mental illness is being polite!


Post your excuses, distractions, and personal attacks below.

War protesters make last stand

Protests at the Port - News - The Olympian - Olympia, Washington

With Specific Reference to the use of Children:

Students stage walkout to protest war in Iraq - South Sound - The Olympian - Olympia, Washington

Protests hold up military cargo at Olympia port | TheNewsTribune.com | Tacoma, WA

Bjornstad said police didn’t anticipate protesters blocking trucks that carried cargo. Police also didn’t anticipate that small children would be amid the people blocking the trucks’ path, Bjornstad said.

Two grade-school-aged boys were among the people in the path of the trucks leaving the port, a development that Bjornstad said was “quite disturbing.” Police were not prepared for safely removing children, he said.


Maybe a source some of you can trust?

Demonstrators confront war machine

Michelle Malkin says a woman dropped her baby at an anti-war protest -- attaches the word 'anarchist' for no apparent reason.

RMNixon posts links to articles about war protests, none of which appear to mention the baby drop

What's the big deal even if she did drop her baby? Accidents happen. It's not as if the mother was curb stomping her child or something over the Iraqi War.

And I like how the word anarchist is just thrown in there for absolutely no reason. Do you really read that garbage?

she brought her baby to a protest where she was going to sit in front of military trucks


IMO that's pretty irresponsible.

Well whether the children should have been there at all is debatable (not just the baby). Personally I don't really care for the use of children in politics (using them as protestors, using them in political adds etc...) But I was under the impression that this incident was being focused on simply because she accidently dropped her kid.

Malkin says

On Monday, I blogged about the human kiddie shields being used by anti-war thugs in Olympia to block military shipments. This afternoon, an Olympia reader e-mailed some new, exclusive photos and a first-hand report of the mother’s reckless behavior.


Malkin was complaining that women are bringing babies and said it was reckless. Days later a child did actually get hurt. Sure if she hadn't brought the kid then the babysitter could have dropped him but he wasn't at a babysitter, he was on her shoulders while she was involved in a blockade.

That's irresponsible.

Does this shit pass for journalism these days? "Thugs", "Kiddie shields", this person needs to get a life and stop spewing hate and propaganda - those parents were OBVIOUSLY not using their kids as "shields", just a stupid comment to discredit the anti-war movement

That being said, parents should not bring their kids to protest rallies. It is the parents choice to be there, the kids didn't have a choice and even if they made one, they are not of sound mind to make such decisions (that's why they don't vote and in most states we have different levels of justice for a kid that breaks the law versus an adult). Protests can become dangerous and violent, not a place for children.

She agrees with you here and posted about it in her blog. And because she doesn't share your point of view in politics in general she "needs to get a life and stop spewing hate and propaganda"?

Ok.

No, she needs to get a life because she is calling people thugs and much worse simply because she don't agree with their views..she doesn't even try to debate the issue. From the looks of her blog she likes to take the Anne Coulter route of making fun of people but not backing up her ASSertions. But I'm sure she is making good coin from her shtick

Were their kids on their shoulders and with them in the blockade, keeping military vehicles from entering the base?

<yes>

Then they were using their kids were shields.
