And it officially encouraged the women&#8217;s peace group Code Pink to impede the work of the Marines in the city by protesting in front of the station.</p><p>In a separate item, the council voted 8-1 to give Code Pink a designated parking space in front of the recruiting station once a week for six months and a free sound permit for protesting once a week from noon to 4 p.m.</p></blockquote><p>Here&#8217;s what Berkeley&#8217;s Mayor had to say:</p><blockquote><p> &#8220;I believe in the Code Pink cause. The Marines don&#8217;t belong here, they shouldn&#8217;t have come here, and they should leave,&#8221; said Berkeley Mayor Tom Bates after votes were cast.</p></blockquote><p>Mayor Bates has it all wrong. It is he who doesn&#8217;t belong here and shouldn&#8217;t have come here. It is he who should not only leave Berkeley, but leave the United States.</p><p>We don&#8217;t need disgraceful cowards in this country. Mayor Bates and the entire City Council deserve to be spit on for disrespecting our military.</p><p>In a perfect world we could lock those Code Pink bitches up for good. Encouraging those traitorous broads to in effect drive the Marines out of town is totally outrageous and shameful.</p><p>All Federal money should be immediately cut off for the city. If they are going to pursue a disgraceful agenda, then they should find a way to be a self-sustaining.</p><p><em>-Chris Jones </em></p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.thehotjoints.com/2008/01/31/berkeley-city-council-tells-marines-to-leave/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>1</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Ridiculous: Marine Faces Court-Martial in Iraq Death</title><link>http://www.thehotjoints.com/2007/12/03/ridiculous-marine-faces-court-martial-in-iraq-death/</link> <comments>http://www.thehotjoints.com/2007/12/03/ridiculous-marine-faces-court-martial-in-iraq-death/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 03 Dec 2007 18:04:25 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Chris Jones</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Military]]></category> <category><![CDATA[World News]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Court-Martial]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Delano Holmes]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Iraq War]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Iraqi Soldier]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Marines]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Murder]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.thehotjoints.com/2007/12/03/ridiculous-marine-faces-court-martial-in-iraq-death/</guid> <description><![CDATA[A court martial opened Monday for a Marine accused of murdering an Iraqi soldier while the two men stood guard together in Fallujah.

Lance Cpl. Delano Holmes, of Indianapolis, is accused of stabbing Munther Jasem Muhammed Hassin to death as they stood watch at a security post on Dec. 31, 2006.</p><p>He has pleaded not guilty to charges of unpremeditated murder and making a false statement.</p><p>If convicted on all counts, Holmes faces life imprisonment with the possibility of parole.</p><p>The killing occurred in the pre-dawn darkness after Hassin allegedly opened his cell phone, then lit a cigarette, said Holmes&#8217; attorney, Steve Cook.</p><p>The men were not supposed to display illuminated objects because of the danger of sniper fire, and Holmes repeatedly tried to make Hassin extinguish the cigarette, Cook said.</p><p>Holmes maintains he knocked the cigarette out of the soldier&#8217;s hand and the two got into a fight. During the struggle, Holmes felt Hassin reaching for his loaded AK-47, so the Marine killed him with a knife, then radioed for help.</p><p>It&#8217;s despicable that some in the military are so quick to charge soldiers with murder. How can we give these young soldiers guns, and knives, and then not give them the benefit of the doubt when they use them.</p><p>It&#8217;s certainly not far-fetched to imagine an Iraqi soldier acting in a less than professional way. It&#8217;s also not difficult to imagine an Iraqi soldier trying to kill a U.S. soldier.</p><p>The idea that this young Marine just decided to stab his Iraqi counterpart to death one night while standing guard, is ridiculous.
