Funk the War storms, trashes 14th and L military recuiter [This work is in the public domain]
At the peak of the second"Funk the War" dance party/protest, the entire group swarmed the military recruiter at 14th st, with about half the group getting inside and the rest securing the entry and plastering windows with stickers.
After many previous protests had found the 14th st recruiter "closed" at 5PM, Funk the War found them open, and the door unlocked at nearer to 6Pm and promptly exploited the situation by demonstrating to them first hand how an occupying force behaves.
After a loud commotion inside while outnumbered cops watched, recruiters finally managed to get protesters to leave-but not before literature and full-body length cardboard displays in the street window area were destroyed. In addition, hundreds more "Funk the War" stickers were plastered all over just about everything that would take them. By the time everyone was out it looked like a tornado had swept through the lobby.
One recruiter tried to grab an activist but found himself overpowered by SDS's superior strength and numbers and had no choice but to give up!
This came on the heels of the whole group marching in K st and Connecticut Ave at the height of rush hour, closing War Profiteer's Row to cars fro quite a while. The group closed out by going after DC GOP headquarters, but that door was locked and there were too many cops around to break it down. [Emphasis mine]
And what does the "PEACE" movement thing of all this violence? They love it!
Some comments left on the post show how violent the peace movement really is...
by AnarchiBut all hope is not lost the Freepers know and are also commenting and pointing out how violent the peace movement really is. Thanks to their own actions we can identify the vandals, but the question remains...why aren't the organizers and participants being charged by D.C. Police?

So for all of you naysayers: Where where you last night??? SDS went a trashed a recruiting station what did you do?
For SdS: Awesome action, I must say it got escalated and it was pretty rad, a bunch of students who actually give a shit about something going and doing what was right to the government or should I say taxpayer funded offices of child predators in army costumes or as some might know them military recruiters! I hope SdS does more stuff like this in the future or even better stuff.
Hopefully those dumbass recruiters will get ready to leave, after a smashed window in '07 and a trashed inside in '08 (and hopefully many more trashings) If they don't a nice friendly warning: Pack up your crap and leave and there will be no problems but if you stay know this people don't like you they don't want you in their communities and they will make sure you leave one way or another!

That's the spirit! It's good that folks are starting to really confront the problem. Cheers.
Chief Lanier are you going to take action against the officers who stood idly by and allowed a federal facility to be vandalized? Are you going to investigate this crime and arrest the culprits who conveniently have provided you with their photographs and audio of their vandalism of federal property?
Mayor Fenty are you going to stand by and allow violent elements of the city control the city or are you going to stand up and follow through?
The vandals actions were criminal but the police departments actions were unforgivable!
