WHAT: Completely peaceful, silent, die-in. No arrests, no blocking the intersection, no making noise, no antagonizing the pro-war protestors, and no break-away marches will be a part of this event.

WHEN: Saturday, March 29, 2003 at 1:30pm.

WHERE: Across the street, on the NW corner of Veteran and Wilshire, in front of the cemetary statue.

WHO: Anyone and everyone!!

WHY: A few of us (arrestees and beatees) decided that it would be a good idea to do something to counter the pro-war rally going on across the street, HOWEVER, being that it is a pro-war rally, we fully realize that the cops will be on their side and not ours, thus the decision to make it not only a peaceful, but silent, demostration. We don't want to block the street, or the sidewalk. We will leave a path open. We will simply express our views using our first amendment right to assemble. This is strategy, and we ask that everyone please respect that if you choose to die-in with us.

HOW: The pro-war rally is beginning at 1pm, we are going to show up at 1:30pm. As each indivudual arrives, we ask that you just simply drop silently to the ground, and remain 'dead' for at least an hour. It was suggested that people dress up as either dead Iraqi or US troops, or as civlians. Cover yourself in blood. Wear bandages, paint your face white, whatever you think works. Bring dolls dressed as dead Iraqi children. Be creative!! It was also suggested that everyone bring a sign to lay across their chest, saying things like "I died for the Empire" or "Look at us, we're liberated." We want the pro-war folks to SEE WHAT LIBERATED IRAQIS LOOK LIKE.

IT WILL BE HOT SO WEAR SUNSCREEN AND BRING WATER TO DRINK!

PLEASE JOIN US IN OUR ACT OF MOURNING FOR ALL OF THOSE WHO ARE DYING IN THIS USELESS, IMPERIALIST, ILLEGAL WAR. WE WILL STOP THIS WAR!!

I had no plans to go to the American rally on saturday but I'm going now. Can't wait to see you idiots laying around trying to "stop the war". When are you trolls going to realize that you're wrong and that the last people on earth who want your help are the Iraqis terorized by Sadam? I suspect the one thing that binds all sides in this war, us, Sadam and the Iraqi public and could end this war is the mutual loathing by all three towards you and your ilk. This fashion of phony "concern" and "peace" is growing old.

You copy cat fucks, come up with your own idea.

"ohhhh look what ny is doing, let's do that"

No wonder you are the biggest jokes around. you're all so hollywood.

NYC BLOC

I'll be the one with a mullet wearing a t-shirt that says "LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT."

Please come support the cause. Massive Anti-War Rally and March!!!!! Sunday, March 30, 2003 at 12 noon. Starts in Downtown LA at Pershing Square (6th and Hill) march to (Los Angeles and Temple) Federal Building.

Remember: No one should be ashamed to march for peace. The people who tell you it is wrong to do so are very misguided.

If they want to have a die-in, let's help them out. Bring your firearms and make it a REAL die-in for those participating. No more of this "fake-die-in-all-for-show-to-make-me-feel-better-and-try-and-make-a-point" shit.

>IT WILL BE HOT SO WEAR SUNSCREEN AND BRING WATER TO DRINK!

It's a die-in, but no reason to be inconvenienced.

>Whenever we conservatives don't have an argument....



And a die-in is an argument?? It's symbolism over substance. Nothing more.

Way to go, Grim Freeper. Whenever we fascists don't have anything intelligent to say, we can always make fools out of ourselves, like you just demonstrated.

Example: Only rich people are anti-war. It's because they all think they are better than poor people. They would rather just have more poor people around so they can look at them and pitty them. Those people in the streets are all millionaires!! They just think they are better than all of us poor pro-war people. We should kill all the rich anti-war protesters and take their riches.

Some of the comments that I have seen in this thread actually follow this kind of misguided logic. It's like they are posterchildren for the brainwashed Bush Youth.

What's wrong with Bush Youth? I happen to be a member. I'm also an inbred redneck.

>Way to go, Grim Freeper. Whenever we fascists don't have anything.......

BA,

There will come a time when you realize that not all life is precious. Now take your conservative viewpoints and pull the pin on the handgrenade for us all.

Harvard student Michael O'Neill -- at a demonstration at Harvard University, in Cambridge, Massachusetts -- joined students and professors from schools throughout the state on March 20 in a walkout to protest U.S. attacks on Iraq. The sign he holds refers to the U.S. strategy of "rapid dominance," introduced in the military theory book "Shock and Awe."harvard students.ap

Did you make that sign with mommy and daddy's money?

That's cute.

Fuck you and fuck Bush and the illegal war horse that you and your Fuher ride.

If you like Bush so much, go such his dick, OK?

Oooooops....wrong suggestion. My bad. I guess you really can't do that since Bush is a lame pussy.

Fuck off, Mikey. I see you are not in Iraq. What? Daddy get you a deferment? You did your gay boyfriend do it for you?>
