Groups of community members
Speaker Peter Sullivan, a 31-year-old who spent 12 years in the Army National Guard but didnt serve in Iraq or Afghanistan, said he had spoken at many other events for Veterans Against the War, but hadnt encountered such ardent hostility. The four members of the group Chicago Iraq Veterans Against the War attempted to recount their time in the armed forces and their reasons for opposing the war, but several were impeded by the irrepressible, flag-waving crowd. An unorganized group of anger management tips community members carrying placards and American flags filled the conference center and began heckling members of the panel even before the presentation began. Campus security workers had to remove three or four people from the event after repeated disruptions.
