OLYMPIA, Wash. -- The violent protesters who left a trail of damage during their May Day march faced city leaders on Tuesday, asking for their cooperation on a peace resolution.

On May 1, six people were arrested after windows were broken at a pair of banks and a portion of the wall in the state Capitol's rotunda was spray-painted during a rally in support of immigration reform.

On Tuesday, some of the same protesters stood in front of the Olympia City Council to introduce their so-called City Sanctuary Resolution. The plan would turn Olympia into a refuge for AWOL soldiers and illegal immigrants.

"All we ask is that you listen to this proposal which I am about to present to the council with an open mind and base your decision on the effect it will have on the many lives of Olympians," said File Bohmer at the meeting.

But not all present supported the proposal.

"There is no such thing as an undocumented immigrant. They are illegal aliens. They have broken the law to get here. Those who have deserted the military have broken the law," said Joe Winkler.

And when time came for the council to vote on the proposal, it was apparent the protesters had already stained their image.

"These people have committed an outrage against our city and I won't have it," said council woman Rhenda Strub.

The protesters left the meeting peacefully.
