A local war veteran who spent more than a year battling loyalists to Saddam Hussein in Iraq now finds himself in the hotbed of anti-war politics.

Geoffrey E. Millard of Lockport was arrested on trespassing charges Friday, while protesting outside President Bush's ranch in Crawford, Texas.
Daniel Ellsberg, the government analyst who leaked the Pentagon Papers during the Vietnam War, was among the dozen other anti-war demonstrators arrested.
The protesters were charged with violating an ordinance that bans roadside camping but were released late Friday after posting bail. That law, according to Millard, was principally enacted to keep out anti-war protester Cindy Sheehan, who started her weeks-long camp-out near the Bush ranch last August. Her son, Casey, was killed in Iraq in 2004.
"After Cindy left [Crawford] . . . they started this county ordinance that no one could be on the side of a public highway," Millard said in a telephone interview. "We thought it was unconstitutional. The only purpose for the ordinance is to keep us from protesting outside of President Bush's ranch." Millard joined the Army National Guard shortly after graduating from Lockport High School in 1998. He said his anti-war activities are motivated by injustices he witnessed in Iraq.

I'm torn on that, I think they could find some place else to protest not in front of peoples homes and blocking roads. On the other hand though Its wrong to tell people were they can or cant protest just based on if there being annoying or not.

Hey, achinese, would something like that been allowed in China?
I think not!

why do you think so, ant protest is a good recent example.

could you enlighten me about the kentucky riots, i forget what's going on

You've got me on that one. I haven't heard about the Kentucky riots. I guess it didn't draw the attention of the World like Tiannamen Square, go figure.

got to be a man from Louisiana... only a person from my home state would do something like htat.

Lockport, LA... here's something to give the city a name.

Ahh...Anti-war protesters are for crazy.

The Chinese do not exactly like the Japanese because the Japanese military owned the Chinese many times in the past plus occupied their lands and had good times with their women. I would understand why the ccp would let the people protest against the Japanese; pure prejudice.

As for the protestor who was arrested, dude, he was trespassing on private property AND blocking traffic. No one cares if he was protesting across the street without bothering anyone but he had to go and make a name for himself, which is disturbing the lives and normal business of others.

Your attempt to show that the US is just as bad as China in has failed miserably....
