You appear to be painfully ignorant of many subjects, but rather than
remain silent about them, you persist in making a fool of yourself.
Pinheads such as your pal "Kathy" are professional protesters who do
stupid things and then complain about the consequences. The usual
scenario is that the "protesters" gather at the gate and are met by
Military Police. They are informed that they may protest to their
hearts content, sing their little songs, wave their little signs and
otherwise make themselves obnoxious, but if they cross the white line
on the pavement and tresspass on the installation, they will be
arrested. They usually make a lot of noise and disrupt traffic, but
they are summarily ignored because this is a free country and they have
an absolute right to protest whatever they please. At some point they
get tired of being ignored and a dozen or so symbolically step across
the line and are placed under arrest. In many of the countries that
these people support, they would be shot dead on the spot, but in a
civilized country like the USA, they are taken into custody and
afforded the due process of law that they hate so much. They have the
right to remain silent, the right to a free attorney, the right to a
fair trial and the right to a comfortable cell and three meals a day
upon conviction.
If "Kathy" did not wish to be arrested, she shoold not have stepped
across the line. Stupid behavior has consequences.
Speaking of stupid behavior, stop making a fool of yourself by
commenting on things which you clearly do not understand.
