West Chester Rally 04/12/2008
I can't express how good it felt this morning at our vigil - and I think
that feeling pervaded the group. It was a kind of homecoming, particularly for
us long-time (5-1/2-year) vigilers. Somehow, the people looked happier, the
music sounded even more wonderful than usual, spirits were higher - I think
the main thing was a feeling of safety that we had not felt in 6 long months
under vi
More..rtual siege. No yelling in our faces, no pushing and nudging, no
nastiness, threats, names, curses.... just true peace. For the first time in 6
months, I didn't have to worry about someone getting hurt, about violence, about rude words and gestures. We were back to our old selves. How sweet it was!

"Those of us in the anti-war vigil do not, and we never will in the future, "bully, intimidate or threaten" anyone. We agree, those who oppose us have every right to assemble where they choose, even if it creates tension."
