Marine protests in Berkeley on Daily Show
A little outdated, but this was a ridiculous experience (and proof that every Berkeley stereotype is pretty damn accurate). Protests have continued, and I just received a warning e-mail that there are numerous demonstrations planned for tomorrow. We'll see how the Code Pink saga unfolds...
p.s. Just to clarify, I think it's absurd to expect the Marines/other military branches to offer protection (not just in war, but in the event of an earthquake etc.) without allowing them a recruiting station. The complaint was supposedly largely due to the station's proximity to Berkeley High and UC-Berkeley, but it's not that close to either, really. It's just downtown, with everything else.
