Moonbat Hooligans Awarded Fortune by NYC
The smelly, Dumpster-diving vermin who dominate "peace" protests never seem to have jobs, but they won't be needing them if this becomes a trend.
New York City has agreed to pay a $2 million settlement to protesters arrested during a 2003 rally against the Iraq war who said their civil rights had been violated, lawyers for both sides said on Tuesday.
The 52 plaintiffs in the lawsuit were among 94 protesters arrested on April 7, 2003, during a demonstration at the midtown Manhattan offices of the Carlyle Group, a private equity firm with holdings in the defense sector.
The hooligans were from the moonbat cult M27 Coalition. Charges were dropped against all but two, who were tried for disorderly conduct but got off. If only taxpayers were so lucky.
Here's how the hardly conservative Gawker reported the shenanigans at the time:
A group called the M27Coalition is supposedly out protesting the war this morning by blocking busy intersections, and by extension, annoying the very large population of Manhattanites who, although anti-war themselves, have actual jobs and responsibilities. […] Then again, an idiot standing in traffic seems rather serendipitous, so maybe I should just shut up.
But the true idiots are the ones running the system, which showered the $millions upon these cockroaches as a reward for their antisocial behavior. Explains Susan Halatyn of the Special Federal Litigation Division for NYC:
This settlement was reached without any admission of liability on behalf of the city and the individual defendants. Although defendants believe that they would ultimately have prevailed at a trial, the costs of going forward weighed in favor of a settlement at this time.
In other words, the moonbats were awarded boatloads of taxpayer money because the system is insane.

What do you expect? Once the adults left town (Giuliani and Bratton) and the clowns took over a circus broke out.

It should be made clear to moonbats that their Constitutional Rights (CIVIL rights are just government-alowed privledges) end where they interfere with the RIGHTS of others.
For instance, you can enter public parks and buildings without permission and can travel from one state to another without papers or a passport (It's in the Constitution), but if you come onto my property, or enter my house uninvited, I can (Literally) throw you out. Even if I invite you into my house, your status as a guest ends when I say it does and I don't even need to give you a reason! Refusal to leave makes you a trespasser, a criminal, and I can do whatever I think is nessisary to defend my property and personal safety.
