Here we go again: Berkeley California against the Military: Marines are “uninvited and unwelcome intruders”
Berkeley continues its attempt to rival San Francisco as the capital of Military Derangement.
It seems like it was mostly just the vigorous activities of Code pink, as noted in this blog, that accounted for the Military hatred, but now the City has climbed into bed with Code Pink in their battle against the Marine Corps. Via Michelle Malkin:
Berkeley wants to treat military recruitment offices like porn shops
Only in Berkeley. Sigh:
In response to a Marine Corps recruiting office established in Berkeley last year, local activists are trying to make it more difficult for future recruiting centers to open in the city.
If passed by a majority of Berkeley voters, a proposed initiative would require military recruiting offices and private military companies in Berkeley to first acquire a special use permit.
To obtain this permit, a business must hold public hearings and a public comment period.
