Anti-War action

What Anti-War action has been taking place in your area?

There was an anti war march from Bell Baxter High School (Cupar) on Friday when around 250-300 students walked out at about 11.00 am to march to the town centre and back again.
There was a big police presence in the town and they handled the whole thing pretty well, although they could have stopped traffic so that the march wasnt forced onto the thin pavement which caused some disruption for pedestrians. According to SSP candidate Carlo Morelli "Anyone who has had anything to do with a demonstration in their lives knows that marching on the road is the safest way of ensuring the safety of marchers and bystanders."
The rector of the school went totally apeshit at a hastily called assembly today, the protest was degrading the schools name and suchlike.
The rector did of course pick on the 5 minutes of minor trouble, "spitting on cars" that was soon infact stopped by students on the protest who wanted to keep things peaceful.

Anyway, what do you think?

any ideas for some top-notch civil disobedience?

well road blocking is a favourite, I would also say blocking off city house etc, stopping council getting in adn distrupting local government that way. Lots of other illegal stuff you can surely think of
