Blackwater Protesters Get More Jail Than Blackwater
Protesters who re-enacted one of merc-shop Blackwater's worst civilian massacres in Iraq got jail time, while Blackwater employees themselves have not spent a second in jail for any instance of murdering Iraqi civilians.
"They were seven nonviolent activists who had the audacity to stage a demonstration at the gates of Blackwater's 7,000-acre private military base in North Carolina to protest the actions of mercenaries acting with impunity -- and apparent immunity -- in their names and those of every American.
The arrest of the activists and the subsequent five days they spent locked up in jail is more punishment than any Blackwater mercenaries have received for their deadly actions against Iraqi civilians."
