This should be stopped without question my grandad was a POW and went through hell. If we tried to pull a stunt like this we wouldn't just wouldn't be allowed too for so many reasons.

I'm sure their are people here are in the forces, or got family or mates who serve.

Is not about time, anything like this should be stopped and met with max force should anyone choose to do something like this.

Has any one got very badly adjusted diesel car that spews black smoke !!!!
Just park this next to them and let them smell the lovely fumes.

Mind you if you line up a bunch of bikes in front of them, revving…
just how much noise can a “RACE CAN” make.. Without baffles !!…
louder then their fxxxing chanting.

I appreciate the sentiment too, but dont think it's the best idea.

By doing this they (the Muslims) will only show themselves up as disrespectful and rude.

I think it'd be better to stand by your bikes in solemn silence, respecting the honour and the memory of those who have fallen for our freedoms.

(and once the minutes silence is over do what you will with them...)

I think the question should be asked what happened if a group of English people went to a Muslinm country and tried to carry out this kind of protest? I don't think for one it would be allowed to happen, if they did it would be met with force.

So why should we allow this to happen here, isn't about time we took control of people like this so they can't ever do anything like this again? If people don't like it here they can leave.

You're right and especially everything in the brackets is right.

Correct!
They are known as Patriot Guard Riders in the US.

I have a mate who's one. They usually work with Police and are placed to block the protesters from sight, often far enough away for sound as well.
They use flags a lot. (see pic first link) And do rev motors if needed!


Anyone who doesn't respect the sacrifice made for their freedoms should have those freedoms taken away. :twisted:

The sad and not very satisfying answer is to ignore them completely.They only do it for the publicity and to cause as much outrage and reaction as possible.Dont give them that satisfaction and they wont do it.

Having said that the satisfaction to be obtained by hitting them for a home run with a baseball bat would be quite good too.

I agree to an extent, complete black out by the media, total ignorance by the armistice worshippers and it would take the wind out their sails and achieve nothing for their efforts.

Then when the crowds have dispersed, give them a kicking if your that way inclined.

They fought and died to help preserve the free world, which includes the right to express yourself freely, and that is exactly what these individuals are wishing to do. What this group are proposing to do is grossly offensive to most, me included, and they will win little support for their cause by doing so, but shouting/protesting doesn't hurt us, won't stop us doing what we want to do, and doesn't impact on my freedom. The best way we can show respect for those that have died fighting for what we stand for is to respect what they achieved, not try and stop it.

Question :
Why cannot the police move them to a place where they can not be heard ?.............for example
1. gobi desert.
second thought...Mariana Trench would be better.
