Editor,
Seeing protesters by the UNM Bookstore night after night is annoying, but I respect their right to voice their opinions.
Seeing the “Skinheads For the USA” on March 26 was surprising, but I applaud their support of our troops. Seeing only the skinheads on March 27, however, was just plain shocking.
Sure, the weather was bad. It was cold and the wind cut through sweaters and jackets. So what does this say about the so-called protesters? It says they are hypocrites who have nothing else to do. The weather gets cold and they retreat to their nice homes with forced-air furnaces, warm blankets and hot coffee.
Protesters: If you are going to protest a war, do it regardless of the weather. It should embarrass and shame you to desert your posts because it got a little chilly outside.
True Americans would not forget their cause for such a trivial reason. You think our troops go inside for a blanket and a cup of coffee whenever they don’t like the weather? Show some spine.
