66 Olympia Morons Arrested During Protests

First they want the war to end and the troops to come home, then they protest the troops returning.

Police arrested more war protestors Thursday as the final shipment of equipment returning to Fort Lewis from Iraq made its way out of the Port of Olympia.

Police used pepper balls to subdue protestors in the afternoon, then arrested five people.  Some who refused to move were dragged out of the way, even through standing water.

The protestors have been outside the Port for several days, blocking trucks hauling the equipment.   In all, 66 people have been arrested over the past several days of protests.
