THE VILLE has comments on the weekend’s “peace” protests. Cato is unimpressed too, though he’s addressing a slightly different group of antiwar activists. Meanwhile, reader Paul Music says that this incident reflects anti-war protesters’ ability to foresee and respond to threats.

UPDATE: Reader Howard Veit emails:

Saw one in Eugene OR this weekend. Several hundred on two street corners. I was only impressed at the lack of young people demonstrating in this college town. I saw none. This was like an old time 60’s or 70’s bunch of wandering demonstrators. Old time peace signs, scraggly looking guys and dumpy looking women (no makeup, no hair, and serape like dresses), and no organized shouting.

This is clearly the old Anti-Vietnam crowd having their alumni moment.

Could be.
