Us Navy Base Defaiced!!!!

GT182 · 10-20-06, 07:21 PM

It's happened before I believe. The group protesting the practice bombing by the Navy of a small island off Puerto Rico are probably the ones that did it. I've been to Groton many times and seen stuff like this when my ex son-in-law was stationed there. I wouldn't want to be in the shoes of those that did it, all of the people of Groton have a lot of pride in the sub base.

As a UConn alum, I know what Electric Boat and the base means to that town. Those knuckleheads better clear out fast before the lynch mob gets them.

There are better ways to make your voice and political opinions be known. This is just pure juvenile crap.

This is agreed. Painting something yellow won't change anything.

I am a bit (a bit!) of an Hippie myself but this action was just dumb. Those Wannabes...

I am anti war but the only thing that sometimes can change anything is war.

That´s the forum where you can discuss everything that doesn´t belong in the other forums.

You remember when you wrote "As for subsim, yes it is a good fourm but it lacks the political and OT threads that formed the Bonds in UBI."?

"General Topics" is the forum you were looking for!

You wanted them to attack and storm Groton base instead of repainting their emblem...?

We all live in a yellow submarine, a yellow submarine...

The article reads like something out of The Onion.

I'd have thought a U.S. Senator would have more pressing issues to spend their time on than a misdemeanor act of vandalism...

Hell No man! :rotfl:

I'm sure there's a peaceful solution for this issue those people have with Groton Naval base...

There are better places to attack and storm, you know...

Though it make me a bit angry, it's nothing compared to the small anti-war group that goes to dead soldier's funerals and protests with signs saying "baby killers" and such.

Though it doesn't get much play in the media, it has happened in my state from an organized mob of hippies.

It's to the point, now, that countergroups have to be formed to keep grieving families from hate-filled mobs at their own relative's funerals.

I wouldn't call the Westboro Baptist Church an "organized mob of hippies." An organized mob of hippies would probably beat Fred Phelps to death with jelly shoes.

I think "revolting mob of sociopathic hatemongers" would be more appropriate for them.
