Saw a bunch of these idiots marching down Broadway yesterday, beating on buckets and carrying banners demanding free healthcare. Luckily there weren't that many of them so the intersection was only blocked for 2-3 minutes.

When you don't lock up criminals, people get pissed.

Wow...I'm now amazed at the restraint those cops exhibited in only pepper spraying some of that crowd and waiting so long before they did. There is no doubt in my mind they acted correctly given the situation.

This is a dangerously idiotic stance and it's compelling that you fail to understand the Bill of Rights.

says the person who thinks he has the right to put up a tent wherever he wants to

I missed that part in the Bill of Rights that says surrounding cops and threatening them is assembling peacefully. All the cops wanted to do was come in, grab the tents, and leave. That's it.

12/5/2011 5:28:31 PM

I mean, you can't keep someone from going somewhere like that. THAT MUCH is highly illegal. The protesters should never have said that the police officers can leave IF....
That was really stupid





having said that much

Don't forget that the police officers were fucking stepping over the circle of protesters that was "preventing them from coming and going". Calling "saying someone can't leave your circle, but allowing them to come and go as they please" a threat is a bit silly.

12/5/2011 5:44:23 PM

Keep shopping, everything is fine!

12/5/2011 8:16:03 PM

I was waiting for that video to get here. It really shows the true colors of who these protesters really are

12/5/2011 8:30:05 PM

Is OWS still going? I need a brief overview of whats going on.

12/5/2011 8:30:06 PM

So if you don't listen to the cops, the cops can attack you.


if the cops don't listen to you, you can't attack the cops.

12/5/2011 8:34:12 PM

yep

U.S. Military Preparing for Martial Law against the American People!
Even before 9/11, the Military has been training our soldiers how to shut down cities, confiscate guns, and put Americans in camps.


Watch for yourself.

([old] but hey... it's coming soon to a theater near you)

12/6/2011 12:37:15 AM

WHAT? US Forces don't just go to Iraq/Afghanistan with absolutely no idea how to hold down a city, enforce martial law, establish curfew etc????

The horror, oh god. the horror.

12/6/2011 12:55:55 AM

This is pre-911. Do you know something I don't?

12/6/2011 1:09:47 AM

Oh, I'm sorry, we should only train for wars that we're currently fighting

Pilots still train for air to air combat, we're not planning on doing that any time soon. Hell German pilots go against US pilots constantly in training, last I checked we're not invading Berlin any time soon.

We constantly train for mass causality situations involving NBC threats, we pray that doesn't happen.

Training is training.

12/6/2011 1:18:30 AM

Can they or can't they control entire US cities if given a command to do so?

12/6/2011 1:20:53 AM

Can or can't they nuke the Vatican if given the order to?

12/6/2011 1:21:47 AM

Will the consequences be the same?

12/6/2011 1:23:28 AM

can you or can't you stop being a freakin moron

12/6/2011 8:40:09 AM

Zucotti Park and this "movement" made me LOL hard this weekend. Five fools beating drums and yelling at everyone walking by. I honestly felt bad because the way it's set up these protesters at the "birthplace" of OWS are treated like zoo animals. Behind a gate as people gawk and take pictures of them..

It's interesting to see so many people that think OWS is a joke.

They're the same people that blow an emotional gasket about a poor person getting extra food stamps or govt. assistance, but protect the criminals who crashed the economy and plundered our treasury of billions of taxpayer $$$

Yeah I saw those graphs on Ed. Did you see the one before it where the average income of the top 1% was below that of the median income at the start of the graph?

12/23/2011 9:17:16 PM

so how long before these people pack up and leave. the media buzz has faded.

It'll be revived when the weather improves.

4 Occupy Charlotte tards were arrested tonight (12:30am) for burning stuff near other flammable objects

What were they burning, you ask?

American flags of course

^ it's raining here in NYC so the turnout isn't that great. It's amazing what a little rain and a little cold weather can do to these peoples' resolves.

It's a really important issue when it's 75 degrees and sunny outside....

"If only the weather was better Id get out and better myself....or protest." Seems about right from this group. Just need an excuse to not do anything.
