Though the majority of people who attended Thursday’s Walk Out supported the cause, a group of anti-protesters held an anti-Walk Out rally asking students to give victory a chance.
Protesters at the Anti-Walk Out, standing near the Walk Out in Voorhees Mall on the College Avenue campus, sought to show that not all students were in support of an immediate withdrawal from Iraq.
Kian Barry, Rutgers College senior and president of the Rutgers College Republicans, said having the anti-Walk Out shows that while they may be a minority on campus, there are people who still believe in the cause of fighting in Iraq.
“We think its very important that we both get messages out, and we need to make sure that people don’t think everyone at Rutgers is against the mission in Iraq and that supporting the troops equates to supporting the mission,” Barry said.
Members of the group waved American flags and held up signs asking people to support the American soldiers fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan.
