Protesters Storm Raytheon Building













Anti-War protestors stormed Raytheon offices in Londonderry Ireland today in opposition they say to the defense giant's manufacturing of missles and bombs being used againt Lebanon. According to police they managed to destroy somecomputer equipment and paperwork but there has been no damage estimate as of yet. The group call themsleves The Derry Anti-War Coalition and have held other protests in the past against Raytheon including a grave digging ceremony. Spokesmen for Raytheon had no comment on this specific incident accept to say "jobs would be lost if the protests continue". Police later arrested nine people in connection with the days events, but no formal charges have yet been filed.

Gosh, It makes you wonder doesn't it if there might just be nine other people in Iran or Syria protesting the companies that make their weapons that get used against Israel? Yeah, I didn't think so.

It is almost as bad in America with the left wing of the democratic party losing all touch with reality and hiding their heads in the sand when it comes to the bad people who want us all dead. Personally I am glad that companies like Raytheon exist and I say lock em' up and throw away the key.
