Intruder Alert
(Fox News) - The city council of Berkeley, California has told Marine Corps recruiters that their office — "Is not welcome in the city, and if recruiters choose to stay, they do so as uninvited and unwelcome intruders."
The council also voted to give the anti-war group Code Pink a designated parking space in front of the Marine recruiting office once a week — and a free sound permit to allow protests.
Berkeley Democratic Mayor Tom Bates says — "I believe in the Code Pink cause. The Marines don't belong here, they shouldn't have come here, and they should leave."
Code Pink has been protesting in front of the station for several months already. The San Jose Mercury News reports one employee of an area business says protesters are aggressive, block the sidewalk while doing yoga, smoke in doorways, and are considered by most people to be a joke.
