APC intimidation at Shannon - Army withdrew from 'Ambush'. Delaying Bush a victory for us all!

category clare | anti-war / imperialism | news report author Thursday July 01, 2004 19:08author by Henry Allen - Ambush & L4C Report this post to the editors

Delaying Bush's departure by a half-hour was a victory for the peace-lovers in the Mid-West. The Irish military's involvement, using APCs and Scorpion tanks, in attempting to put us off our stride was a shame and it failed to work for the securocrats. Short of shelling us (isn't that what they do) they were bound to fail. Victory for the Peaceniks!

APC Intimidation of peaceful protestors in the 'Ambush' group- the army should be ashamed.

By not obeying Garda instructions, the crowd in 'Ambush' broke through Garda lines at Shannon, encountered intimidating army vehicles, and caused them to retreat (after placing peace symbols and posters on the war vehicles). I am proud to have been involved in a protest that showed that protest sometimes does make a difference. Delaying Bush's departure by a half-hour was a victory for the peace-lovers in the Mid-West. Enjoy the photos (3).

We took on the army, with posters and flags. Peace rules. Demilitarise Shannon asap.

The army's APC withdrew. Another could not - it was pinned into a corner by protestors. The people with courage were not the go-fors in the armoured vehicles.
