PLATFORM : Protest City
This is ludicrous. City government should not take a stand that tells people to violate the law. I think this sends a really awful message to those kids in the Persian Gulf, and everywhere else.
By offering sanctuary, the city has encouraged protests, but they’re not just protests, they’re roving gangs. Protesters broke into an Army recruiting office, took all the furniture out and torched it. They torched a CHP car. They closed down our bridges twice.
Sanctuary gives them this message: You’re welcome here! We’re tolerant here. We are compassionate. Come over here and do anything you want. The only trouble is, who pays for all the damage?
You have the right to disagree on whether to get involved or not. But once the President and Congress say we’re going to war, you support your country.
