Chicago Police Arrest Six Iraq War Protesters for Squirting Fake Blood on Easter Churchgoers





CHICAGO — Six Iraq war protesters disrupted an Easter Mass on Sunday, shouting and squirting fake blood on themselves and parishioners in a packed auditorium.
Three men and three women startled the crowd during Cardinal Francis George's homily, yelling "Even the Pope calls for peace" as they were removed from the Mass by security guards and ushers.
One Mass attendee, Mike Wainscott of Chicago, yelled at the anti-war protesters.

"Are you happy with yourselves?" he said. "There were kids in there. You scared little kids with your selfish act. Are you happy now?"

The group, which calls itself Catholic Schoolgirls Against the War, said in a statement after the arrests that they targeted the Holy Name Cathedral on Easter to reach a large audience, including Chicago's most prominent Catholic citizens and the press, which usually covers the services.
Kevin Clark of International Solidarity Movement told the Chicago Tribune that he attended the Mass to serve as a witness for the protesters.
"If Cardinal George is a man of peace and is walking the walk and talking the talk, he should have confronted George Bush and demanded an immediate end to the war," Clark said.

Speaking after the service, George said, "We should all work for peace, but not by interrupting the worship of God."

Police charged each of the six protesters with one count of felony criminal damage to property and two counts each of misdemeanor simple battery.
The six were scheduled to appear in bond court on Monday to face the felony charge, police said. They have court date set for March 31 on the misdemeanors.

This is just whack. Bet they would never run into a Mosque and do this. What were they trying to prove? Is the Liberal-mindset truly rational??

It doesn't matter what your political affiliation or motives are . . . you don't go interrupting a religious service to promote your "cause." That just shows a total lack of taste and class.

I will be curious to see if anyone on here defends their actions.

I understand that this is sick... but why on Earth would they go into a Mosque??

Wow, they squirted some fake blood on people? Why, that's just as bad as if they'd launched a military invasion of a defenseless and unthreatening nation, killing hundreds of thousands of people and committing acts of torture!

Your twisted hate-agenda aside, why, by any rational means would they do this anyways? "Haha we're bombing the **** out of you! Happy now, *****es? Accept Christ (as lord of the...blah blah) or die!"

And then you question rationality?

You fail at such remarkable levels it's tragic.

However, on the topic, these protester's actions were childish and highly inappropriate.

six people are representative of the " liberal mindset" ?'

Acts of violence against abortion clinics and their employees have been carried out across the United States throughout the 1980s and 1990s.
There were 1,700 acts of violence against abortion providers between 1977 and 1994, with four people killed in 1994 and one in 1993, according to statistics from the National Abortion Federation. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms has logged 167 attacks against abortion clinics over the past 15 years.
In 1984, there were 18 bombings against abortion clinics. In 1993, there were 78 death threats aimed at clinic employees. And, in 1996, bombings, threats and harassment affected about one-third of U.S. abortion clinics.

oh noes, the conservative religious mindset! it's murderous.
