More Stupidity For You Know Who

In Charlottesvile, VA, approximately 30 people protested outside of Sperry Marine, a maker of navigation equipment for commercial and military use.

Most of the protestors carried anti-war signs and banners along sidewalks near Sperry Marine, while five others chained themselves to barrels and each other in order to block the company's entrance, according to an Albemarle County Police Department press release.

So far so good - behaving nicely, except for that whole chaining themselves up bit. So much for respecting private property and commerce.

Protestors also dumped old washing machines, mattresses and other junk on the company's driveway, Sperry Marine President John DeMaso said.

Now, we're littering - and what is the point? "Stop the war! Screw the environment!" I bet the ELF anti-war contingent wouldn't be happy.

"The police made them pick it up and then we had to go out and pick up" what was leftover for about 45 minutes, DeMaso said.

Screw that, call in a company to clean it up and have the bill sent to the protesters.
