Protesters Thursday continued their stand against the shipment of
military vehicles from the Port of Olympia to Iraq.

After three previous days of confrontation with police, no one was
arrested Thursday as 30 activists gathered in the rain near the port
entrance at Franklin and Market streets, Olympia police said.

Others scattered out along Marine Drive, the route used by convoys of
Army Stryker vehicles from Fort Lewis.

Activists with the Olympia Movement for Justice and Peace and the newly
formed Port Militarization Resistance promised demonstrations as long as
shipments continue. They bemoaned use of the public port to support what
they see as an illegal war.

Sixteen people were arrested this week for standing in the street to
block traffic and disobeying police commands.
