Peace Bus Destroyed By Suspicious Fire
Submitted by davidswanson on Sat, 2008-01-12 21:54. Media

The Yellow Rose of Peace Bus ( http://www.yellowrosepeacebus.com ) has been destroyed by fire. Bill Perry reports:

The bus in this photo, was totaled by fire, around 9:30 pm, Friday night, 1/11/08. This bus, often mired in controversy since the IVAW "Dirty South" tour that left Philly in June, and had Active Duty BBQ's @ Ft Meade, Ft Jackson, Camp Lejeune, Ft Benning, and other Southern Military Posts ( Including an IVAW benefit by Tom Morello, of Rage Against the Machine, and AudioSlave, in Virginia ) as well as backdrop for many a Demonstration, and Ft Drum, NY, organizing parties, has finally died.


This photo shows the huge "Don't Attack Iran" and "Impeach Bush" logos, that let everybody on the highway know just how the occupants felt about the state of the state.

Owner~Operator~Driver ( and Veteran ) Jim Goodnow pulled into a South Jersey Truck Stop, to catch a 3 or 4 hour nap. Jim saw, in retrospect, some suspicious activity outside the bus, and about 20 minutes later, the entire engine compartment, and back of the bus was engulfed in flames. Mr Goodnow speculates that the cause could have been anything from ARSON, to ATTEMPTED MURDER. He plans to notify the ATF Arson Squad on Saturday morning. Stay tuned....

2. SOME would have us "make nice" with people who'd do such things.
Not me. I'd rather use 12-guage. :grr:

4. The freeper types
commented on my "It's On" post and said it sounded pretty aggressive for a "peacenik" or some such.

Funny. I've never claimed to be a pacifist.

8. I'm with you there.
Don't get me wrong. I think the war in Iraq's a destructive waste serving only to enrich sociopathic elites.

But I'm not a pacifist either. I believe it's perfectly acceptable to use lethal force in self-defense.

And if some fascist freak wants to try me, they can expect to leave with some holes in them.

Don't think the right wing holds a monopoly on the Second Amendment...

13. Bingo
I'm not Ed Schultz, but I am a red meat eating, gun-toting liberal. Chickenhawks don't know what they're up against, I'll wager.

That people go to the second website in the OP and make a donation now.

There's a yellow & blue PayPal donation button on the right side, about six clicks down.
