Sheehan, 48, who has led a public battle against the war since her son was killed in Iraq, was the first of the protesters taken into custody. She stood up and was led to a police vehicle while protesters chanted, "The whole world is watching." She and the others sat down along the pedestrian walkway in front of the White House and began to sing and chant "Stop the war now!" Police warned them three times that they would be arrested if they didn't move along, but that didn't deter them. A spokesman for the U.S. Park Police estimates about 370 people were taken into custody over a four and a half hour period. The demonstrators who were arrested cooperated with police. All but one person was charged with a misdemeanor of demonstrating without a permit. One person was charged with crossing a police line. An Ohio man said it was "an honor to be arrested with this group of people." Sheehan's 24-year-old son, Casey, was killed in an ambush in Sadr City, Iraq, last year. She attracted worldwide attention last month with her 26-day vigil outside President George W. Bush's Texas ranch. The demonstration was part of a broader anti-war effort on Capitol Hill organized by United for Peace and Justice, an umbrella group. Representatives from anti-war groups were meeting Monday with members of Congress to urge them to work to end the war and bring home the troops. Sheehan and the others were taken to a processing center to be fingerprinted and photographed. Police said they would be given a ticket and released.[/quote] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kool Keith Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 [img]http://www.wonky.net/images/blog/stfu.jpg[/img] I can imagine this is what Casey Sheehan would be saying to the protestors, if he had the chance. Thank you for making the ultimate sacrifice for our Country, Casey Sheehan. Without your efforts, your mother wouldn't be able to do what it is she's doing today. Thank you.

Guest BlackJesus Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 [i][b]tactically I think it is a bad move by Bush... and plays right into her hand.... many News organizations covered this today, they wouldn't have covered her today had she not been arrested. Even though I agree with some of what she says... I will give it to you, that her voice and persona is annoying...... Why the hell can't we have a firey passionate speaker articulate her cause.... But then again she probably plays well with soccer Moms....[/b][/i] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest oldschooler Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 [img]http://images.ibsys.com/2005/0926/5022002_480X360.jpg[/img] Does that cop hand full of Cindy`s coochie ? [img]http://forum.go-bengals.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/31.gif[/img] Anyway I think she is a disgrace to her son`s memory. Her son VOLUNTARILY joined the military. It was his choice to serve his country. Bush did talk to her once before and she had nothing but nice things to say afterwards. She goes out and rents Fahrenhiet 9/11 and has been hanging from Michael Moore`s nuttz since. Now her Husband is divorcing her and Casey`s grand-parents have publicly begged her to stop exploiting Casey`s death for her own political agenda. She is pathetic and sickening.

Jamie_B Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 Posted this before but... [quote]Army Specialist Casey Sheehan - Someone You Should (Have) Know(n) Casey Sheehan grew up in a devout Catholic home. He served as an altar boy and then as a key member of his church's youth group for years. When he was old enough, Casey joined the Boy Scouts, becoming the very second Eagle Scout out of his troop. He enlisted in the Army when he was twenty years old. He decided to be a mechanic. He would undergo Combat Lifesaver training - a class on how to give IVs and treat trauma only second in intense learning to combat medic training. He was also certified to assist with giving communion to soldiers while in the field. Specialist Sheehan re-enlisted in the Army in 2004 knowing full well that he could be sent into a combat zone. Casey Sheehan was a Humvee mechanic with the 1st Battalion, 82nd Field Artillery Regiment. On April 3rd, 2004, forces loyal to Shi'ite cleric Muqtada al'Sadr stormed police stations and government offices in Sadr City (a city of over 2 million). They knew the Americans would come, and they wanted a fight. Muqtada Sadr was working them up into a religious frenzy. And he had his thugs murder anyone who he thought might stand in his way - even other Shi'ite clerics. His forces were known as the Mahdi Army. American forces quickly surrounded Muqtada al'Sadr's quarters. On April 4th, 2004, al'Sadr's Mahdi forces blocked roadways and bridges with burning tires, vehicles and trash. Visibility was less than 300 meters anywhere in the city. They began to attack American vehicles on patrol throughout Sadr City - some were protecting Shia worshipers (Holy Arbayeen) while others were escorting city government vehicles. A battle raged across Sadr City. Insurgents assaulted American troops while looters and mobs formed and stormed through the streets. Word spread quickly across the American FOBs that there was trouble. Soldiers of the 2nd Battalion, 5th Cavalry Regiment were ambushed with RPGs and pinned down and dying. While fighting off an attack himself, the Commander of the 2/5th, LTC Volesky, called for help. A Quick Reaction Force (QRF) was formed of volunteers - their mission was to go out and rescue the American troops. Casey Sheehan's Sergeant asked for volunteers. Sheehan had just returned from Mass. After Sheehan volunteered once, the Sergeant asked Sheehan again if he wanted to go on the mission. According to many reports (and according to his own mother), Casey responded, "Where my Chief goes, I go." The QRF was launched. Not long after entering the Mahdi area, the QRF was channeled onto a dead-end street where the roofs were lined with snipers, RPGs, and even some militia throwing burning tires onto the vehicles. The Mahdi blocked the exit and let loose with everything they had. Sheehan's vehicle was hit with multiple RPGs and automatic-weapons fire. Specialist Casey Sheehan and Corporal Forest J. Jostes were killed. A second QRF was formed - all volunteers - to go rescue the first. Specialist Ahmed Cason was hit in the second QRF - but kept fighting until he bled to death. Seven men died with Casey Sheehan on Sunday, April 4th, 2004. They were Spc. Robert R. Arsiaga, Spc. Ahmed Cason, Sgt. Yihjyh L. "Eddie" Chen, Spc. Stephen D. Hiller, Spc. Israel Garza, Cpl. Forest J. Jostes, and Sgt. Michael W. Mitchell. It was Palm Sunday. Palm Sunday commemorates the day that Jesus entered Jerusalem. Back then, the palm frond was a symbol of victory - laid beneath the feet of those of the highest honor and triumph. Some believe it was this honor fit for a king that forced Jesus's enemies to act and crucify him. In recognition of Casey, the Catholic Chapel at Fort Hood, Texas (where Sheehan was stationed) named the Knights of Columbus chapter the "Casey Austin Sheehan Council". Casey also received the Bronze Star for his Valor that day. Palm fronds for the most honored.[/quote] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
