Local Anti-War Protest
Local Anti-War Protest
Officials estimated 250 anti-war protesters marched here Saturday. The group's leader estimated their size at around 400. *Snort* According to the 2000 census, the population of Fayetteville is approximately 58,000; Washington County 157,000. Check out the photo. I've seen more people on Dickson Street on a Saturday night, in a hard rain. *Giggle* And apparently not everyone there supported their anti-war agenda:Police reported a minor problem with a group that voiced support for a war in Iraq, before the group left. There were no arrests reported at the event, police said.
I can see it now, "Move along boys, nothing to see here." *Tee Hee* Literally...nothing...to...see.
Eileen Billig of Madison County said she thinks the rally will affect what the United States does regarding Iraq.
"I believe Bush is backing down," she said. "And the voice of the people is being heard."
Uh, yeah, *snicker*, right. We're all shaking in our boots now. Unfortunately, Ms. Billig, you've mistaken laughter for fear.
