(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - "Hands off Syria!" "Hands off Iran!" and "Who is the terrorist? Boeing is the terrorist!" they chanted as rain poured down on Thursday, Fight back news reported.
Boeing responded to the anti-war protest with a show of force by security guards, guard dogs and Chicago Police.
Shivering in the cold, Kait McIntyre of the Anti-War Committee of Chicago was not backing down from the weather or the cops. "Boeing makes fighter jets and attack helicopters. They make uranium depleted bombs, for example that were dropped on Gaza in 2008, causing an increase in birth defects. And in addition, Boeing makes spy drones for the US to use over Iran." she complained.
"We have to speak out against the growing threat of war against Syria and Iran and to demand that money go to funding human needs at home, not wars that profit companies like Boeing," she added.
