the cups who have been agitated all day seemed to be frustrated with the injunction decision, and were harassing activists for minor things (don't touch the fence!)

I found this guy hiding (again). He belong to the “I’m a man only because I have a motorcycle” group, and every now and then he comes to the Marine Recruiting Center to yell absurd things like “support torture” or “nuke Iraq”. He operates his own website where he films and takes pictures of activists and demonstration with his fascist’s comments.
I never understood the obsession of some brainwashed bigots in the bay area with monitoring and spying on activists, but maybe he just taking his support for fascism to the next level where he himself becomes part of the surveillance mechanism.
There is nothing to be alarm though, when spouted simply yell at him and he will take off very fast, maybe without his motorcycle his “manly” character disappears.

what website is that guy from?
by M.
Since he and others are doing this manly for the attention, I see no point in advertising his website. Other then mentioning that he likes to think of himself as the “shooter” (just to indicate the type of his mentality) what would be the point of giving him some more publicity?

He’s a brainwashed person who never read a history book, and if he did, only the ones that corresponds to his defected views. After the latest revelations by Scoot McClellan on how lies and deception were used to invade a Iraq, and articles about torture committed in Afghanistan by U.S. troops, you would think that the lasts of the war supporters would get some brain, but no, not him. I sometime wonder why people still support this administration and its criminal acts. I have to speculate that it’s some kind of an infant mentality where giving up on the idea (America is perfect, we never do wrong, we are the best, I’m a real man) would lead to an emotional breakdown. I sometimes look at him and his friends on their motorcycles calling us “fags” and justifying any criminal act committed by the military, and I think wow, this has nothing to do with the military or the war, its all about them proving that they are “real men”. I feel sorry for him; it’s probably very difficult to always try to prove your “manliness” and childish world view to yourself and others.
