By Michelle Malkin • November 15, 2007 04:57 PM Update 10:15am Eastern 11/16. Five more troop-obstructing thugs were arrested last night. There are more tantrums scheduled today and tomorrow in Olympia and other cities. The vandals have been emboldened. Feel very sorry and afraid for the kiddie human shields.

On Monday, I blogged about the human kiddie shields being used by anti-war thugs in Olympia to block military shipments. This afternoon, an Olympia reader e-mailed some new, exclusive photos and a first-hand report of the mother’s reckless behavior. First, the photos:
The reader, B., works at the Port of Olympia. Here’s what he witnessed:
I work at the port, and have observed some truly mind boggling events unfold, but the most astonishing was the use of children as human shields. The attached pictures were taken on 11/9/07; the night military equipment was first blocked from leaving the port. The Olympia Police Department essentially abandoned any effort to remove the protesters out of fear that a child would be harmed in their efforts to enforce the law.

The second photo shows her retrieving the crying baby as her other two children, dressed as terrorists look on.
This situation, and another two days later, when dozens of college aged girls were arrayed in rows with arms linked to block the road, showed a deliberate effort to use the same tactics as the terrorist savages who manipulate us, knowing that decent people cannot abide putting innocents in harm’s way. And, while the police were dragging the females away, under the glare of the media’s cameras, the males were establishing rolling blockades; throwing rocks at police and military vehicles; breaking windows, etc.
The whole event had the flavor of a huge mob of children playing some updated version of “Cowboys and Indians” — with live ammo.
Some of these people most certainly do need mental health counseling. Just not the kind Evergreen State College is giving them…
