Same as the 60s when we came home during Vietnam. Same lazy, unwashed, unemployed, worthless, shiftless, welfare losers looking for a free handout claiming that the "establishment" is keeping them down.
99% of people in jail are libs, it's not surprising to see them behaving like criminals.
Impeach the Kenyan Usurper!
I have seen two interviews where they admitted throwing rocks and bottles and the the paint balls speak for themselves.
Trash, simply trash. And those poor cops are having to deal with them. I feel sorry as hell for the police.
I know who'll protect me: FNH, DTI, Bersa, and a Marlin (if needed).
I'm with Scary
Nonviolent??? Threatening, yes!! The takeover of a bank: an invasion of private property. The attempt to reoccupy the park despite wanrings not to do so. Nonviolent?????? Threatening, yes!!! Is it any wonder tear gas was used against this crowd? Oakland has seen more aggressive tactics used by the Occupation forces.
The useful idiots of the Occupation expressed grievances that many Americans have against the Federal bailouts of financial institutions, the automobile industry. They are angered by the bonuses paid to executives of failing companies, while their investors lost, in some cases, everything. But, the useful idiots were unorganized, with many conflicting demands. This is where SEIU, other labor unions, 60"s Radicals filled the leadership void.
Most Americans would agree with the useful idiots in their demand for reform. But, more and more the cry is revolution. More and more is heard the cry for overthrowing the system. We're not just talking about the economic Capitalist system, but the political system as well. More and more we see the red flags of Communism.
If you don't think this is being planned and is spontaneous, maybe at first. But now, radicial leaders are picking "arrestable," people who will scream, draw attention to themselves. They are veterans of the arresting process. More disturbing is the Occupy Marines that are calling on their fellow Veterans to join the Occupation forces and badgering the police telling them to stop hurting the peaceful protestors and join their ranks. And where did this anti-Jewish element come from? Is anti-Semitism mainstream all of a sudden????
With the backing of many Left wing organizations and personalities and direction, what has happened in Oakland is no surprise. You see, the "Professional Revolutionaries" know that violence is necessary to help their cause. The Lettist Media is also in their corner, so they know what events they stage, will have maximum media attention. Escalation is essential. To the Revolutionary Leadership " Power grows out of the barrel of a gun." and they are serious when they say "Workers of the world unite."
This will come to a head, and these idiots will pay a high price for their stupidity.
Want to clear an area or put a stop to rock throwing, urinating, despoilment.
Mounted cops on battle steeds
with truncheons in hand,
charge through six abreast and scatter them like fleas
And of course, this would remind our MSM reporting institutions of the actiivties recorded at the Tea party events. Two idenitcal evnets, just different people with slightly divergent points of view.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/for-tea-pa...
It's always non-violent and organized right up to the point the first one decides to cross the line. Then it's violent, but it was only that one, or that one, and that one, and that one, ………………….
Obama supports this movement, the Republicans are silent.
We will have to eventually deal with this bowel "movement" on our own, that is becoming increasingly clear.
The dilemma will be November 8th when the new Call of Duty MW3 comes out. XBox or protest…hummm.
Unwitting fools in a deck stacked with jokers.
Occupy Oakland was appropriately violent. That is, if you consider that police officers trying to feed and clothe their families is politically incorrect, and they should be punished for their unwillingness to conform to the goals of a violent Occupy minority. So, I guess that makes their violence politically correct, and would also make it politically correct for me to bring my nightstick and bash a few Occupy skulls, because, you know, I don't agree with your political views.
Throwing things at (assaulting) police officers isn't a crime now?
How strange, I once shredded a traffic ticket right in front of the cop who gave it to me and threw it at his feet…
I was immediately placed in handcuffs, my car was towed then I was additionally charged with assault on a police officer and contempt.
Both charges were later dropped in court when I plead guilty to the original charges of speeding and disobeying a traffic control device, I paid the fine and impound…
How the hell do these punk ass kids rate when they are literally placing police officers' lives in danger and all I did was toss shredded paper at a cops feet?
NUTS.
And the liberal media covered it the same way. It was the poor protestors who were the victim of police brutality….
I don't.
Is the party over?
Are they all going back to their hovels for the winter?
When will they return, on Groundhog day?
I once shredded a traffic ticket right in front of the cop who gave it to me and threw it at his feet,
You are then supposed to say "F*ck you and your ticket too!"
Cops really dont have the right to beat you up when all you are doing is expressing your first amendment rights. A lot of these "officers" need to be prosecuted.
All this did was push Occupy Oakland to consolidate with Occupy San Francisco.
Got news for you too, the weather rarely gets below 50 in the bay area so this could go on for the next year or more.
I'm hearing on the news that an ex-Marine received a fractured skull from being hit on the head with a thrown bottle or some other hard object. Hey college students: videos like this should be enough reason for you to major in something other than "Gender Studies" or some other useless degree. Companies are looking for more engineers and people with real skills. Without those skills, you will find yourselves out on the street with those baskets or bead necklaces you made in class.
You do that. But rest assured you'll be the one's standing tall before the man.
Yes indeed, sir. And for me it's my Saiga 7.62×39, Remington 870, HK USP .40, and Taurus PT 1911, et al.
We just had another ground shaker there Cowboy about 2 hours ago. I'll bet some of those people are beginning to wonder if it is such a good idea to be sitting right on the Hayward fault, and just two miles from the San Andreas fault.
I feel sorry for you, because you are a miserable excuse for a human being.
Are you saying you'll be flat on the floor?
And?
Sanitation workers are so relieved.
Law and order is necessary for any civilization to thrive. If you don't like it here, go to Afghanistan where there is none or to China where there is too much. Better yet, go to Cuba or Venezuela and pal around with Castro and Chavez.
Education need not be so institutional.
FYI: Most people stop making baskets and beads in class around grade 7. You obviously didnt get that far.
The Marine was beaten by the police as he was part of the protest.
Lefty protesters tend to be very non-violent. As long as they get their way. And nobody forces that evil soap on them.
It's like the human equivalent of a few lions surrounded by cowardly hyenas.
If what we hear is correct, they're staying in hotels at night. That means they'll be around for the winter.
Good! I say let ALL of the "Occupy" protestors go to San Fran. Let the city that birthed the hippie movement be overrun with them. Oakland was simply enforcing their laws.
According to the Main Stream Media, these OWS demonstrators are PEACEFUL protesters, not violent thugs like those TEA PARTY rowdies!
Would that be groundhog day the movie? is so I want no part of that once was too much!….LOL
terrific it will give the rats someone warm to cozy up to….
A year is all you got, fool. Once this current regime is tossed out of the "People's House", the criminality that is the occupy movement will cease immediately. Want proof? Think what happened when Regan took over after the last socialist regime. Hehehehehehehehe…..
I kinda wish they'd protest in my town so i could get my money's worth out of the taxes I pay for the police.
Uh huh, sure buttercup. I assume "the man" your referring to is Johnet Napalitano? Yes, it looks like a man.
You must be the comedienne of the Soros group.
Amen brother 67 to 68
"Education need not be so institutional."
You're right! Privatize all government schools and get rid of all the unions and VOILA…!!!!! Education quality goes up. No more institutionalized schools. Good one!
That's interesting. Not being alive then I had no idea of their character. Now I see what you mean.
I do, too. I pray for them. I can't stand people who ruin the peace.
Actually, you're incorrect. Even you have the right to react to a physical threat. You throw something at a person and that is considered a physical threat. Hats off to the cops for the restraint show.
I have learned from Comrades Alinksy & Obama that absolute accuracy is not as important as achieving one's ends. Alinsky's Rules for Radicals:
5. Ridicule is man's most potent weapon.
6. A good tactic is one that your people enjoy.
8. Keep the pressure on with different tactics and actions, and utilize all events of the period for your purpose.
11. If you push a negative hard and deep enough, it will break through into its counterside.
13. Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.
RUBBER BULLET INSPECTORS NEEDED:
Job description:
Inspect ammo to ensure no real bullets are used against OWS protestors.
Qualifications:
Blind
I didn't need to see it in slow motion to know who was violent, it's obvious!
Let it. The more these folks are in the media the more damage is done to their liberal cause. This isn't like ending the war in Vietnam. These folks don't even have a cause unless it's the misguided demand to end capitalism. (Most of these people don't know the definition of capitalism, hence the misguided label.) We are a center right nation, this will only provoke the American voter and throw the liberals out of office.
Hell, if we get enough Tea Party officials in perhaps we can rollback the tide of corrupt government and start the return to our founding principles.
I remember being called "baby-killer" and "village-burner", even though the idiots that said it knew we were never near either….
It's the same "mind-set" today, these freaks are going to be losers no matter what their personal situation is….
It doesn't matter whether they have alot of money or no money, they are the same "mis-fits"….
And now the "Long-Haired-Dope-Smokin'-Hippies" of the Vietnam Era are cheering these fools on simply to, at long last, validate themselves….
I'm leaning towards having these #occupywallstreet thugs rounded up and shipped to an #arabspring friendly country…
Buckle your seat belt, Amigo.
"An AP photographer on the scene said police erected barricades to prevent the marchers from reaching a freeway, sending the group down side streets en masse." http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D9QKML3O1...
If law enforcement had any sense of humor… they would re-route them to the city sewage treatment plants.
I have no sympathies for that Marine. He was doing the wrong thing at the wrong place at the wrong time. Three wrongs do not make a right. If he was still in the USMC, he wouldn't be there for long. They would have started the process to drum him out of the Corps, if not just lock him up under the UCMJ.
What will protect me? Well, for long range, a .50BMG, followed by .308, the we get into .223 range and then handgun/shotgun. I'm ok, I think. No police needed.
I'm not sure why this isn't more controlled. One of those paint bags could've been a molotov cocktail…
As a professional, I would have to track down the officer who shot that rubber bullet
and meritoriously award a marksmanship award.
Oh, REALLY ?
Would you like to make a little wager on that ?
You "Lefty-Loon-Dope-Smokin'-Peter-Puffers" are in for a "wake-up-call" that's gonna' curl your hair….
Since when was one a majority? Even so, it does not justify a militarized assault by Portland Police. If the same happened here in the UK, the Police Commissioner would have resigned by now.
I seem to know more about the constitution than most of those posting on this website, as the first amendment states freedom of speech. This is shocking considering I'm from and still live in the UK.
While I actually support Ron Paul from a US politics point-of-view and politically independent, I ask the question, "How is encouraging violence towards protesters vindicated on any level?"
For impartiality, perhaps this Andrew can remind us who the Tea Party owe for financial resources? Communism, the "terrorists" that are Iran? The ships that were raided and their inventory thrown overboard? People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
The stupity of the 60's revisited. What are you trying to say?
he this great REPUBLIC should have to tolerate the mob because they WANt it. I say GROW UP. Realize that you and you parents have paid too high a price for a very poor education and GO TO WORK!
And they want jobs? I'd never hire anyone connected with that trash.
Good. It's now SF's problem.
The use of Stanley Kubrick’s “Clockwork Orange” Beethoven score to “paint” the violent Occupiers as the “droogies” they are is an effective tough – thanks Breitbart.
These fools are playing with nitroglycerine, and if it gets out of control the backlash they’ll engender will take Barry and his Alinsky Dems down forever! The MSM had better consider their role in this carefully – before they seal their own fate, as well!
I've been protecting myself since Obummer took office with DPMS .308, Kimber .45, Colt AR 15, and Benelli 12 ga. semi-auto tacticle. I really wish they would come to my town….
in more ways than just the obvious. a couple of lions go out, scout the area, work the herd and move in/make the kill. then a pack of scavenging hyenas follow them around, outnumber the lions and forcibly take what they have worked and sacrificed to have.
samwise007, i will never watch the nature channel the same way again.
have a good day my friend.
For putting an Iraq veteran in the hospital with a fractured skull?
Yeah, that deserves an award.
Why does Breitbart not mention the skull fracture that the Iraq war vet got from being shot in the head with a tear gas canister?
And the stun grenade thrown at the group that went to administer first aid to the Iraq war vet?
I doubt anyone here is part of the 1%…. score another one for BREITBART DIVIDE & CONQUER:) Keep up the good work! You guys are continuing to direct your hate in the wrong way, as usual.
It will get worse…its Obama plan. Watch forOWS to intensify next summer leading up to elections. (If Obama does'nt suspend elections due to this activity)…which is prrobably his intent anyway.
OWS was put together by SEIU and Acorn, with the help of George Soros and his 125 organizations designed to control the media and remake the US. The difference between now and the 60's is that THE ENEMY HAS INFILTRATED THE GOVERNMENT at all levels. Think about why Obama's methods worked in Chicago…the mob, unions, stupid people, and corrupt government officials. They must replicate that everywhere even if it is through "appearances." Fox recently had an article about the Red Army…read this if you think this is a disorganized revolution:
http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2011/10/25/red-arm...
RIOT FUNDED BY GEORGE SOROS!
That's no news, that's an opinion page, which is lucky since Fox News isn't news. Just like CNN, MSNBC and CBS.
You are commenting on an article about "violence" at an occupy protest. Yet, you are vindicating the use of violence on protesters.
Throwing stuff at cops is just asking to get a beat down period.
These people need to be sent to their room for a timeout.
Of course you don't. You're an enemy of civilization.
Wow, that was incoherent even for an overgrown child like Thay_Live.
Rioting is not a First Amendment right, cretin.
What's the matter, troll? Your whole tone today is low-key and weak. Feeling a little down now that lawful authority is finally getting fed up with your disgusting antics?
We are vindicating the correct response to anarchist rioters who are trying to destroy the rule of law. Namely, that the lawful authorities should hit them back twice as hard.
Ah yes, the UK, where the police stood by and did nothing while rioters gleefully destroyed the rule of law and looted whole neighborhoods. Methinks you are not in a position to criticize, sir.
And why am I not surprised that a self-proclaimed Ron Paul supporter would be in favor of anarchic socialist rioters, and opposed to the proper enforcement of ordered liberty under the rule of law? Paul's support includes many Lefties and the rest of your post is basically a mindless, ignorant regurgitation of Leftist talking points/lies.
And now you've proven you're a Lefty. Get lost.
You can push those Lefty talking points all you want, troll — nobody here cares.
Being an Iraq war vet does not entitle you to riot or break the law. Nor does it entitle you to be a traitor to the Constitution, or a useful idiot for such traitors. The Occupy movement is fools led and manipulated by Communists.
Obviously you didn't watch the video – look at the OWS propaganda poster at the beginning and see her throwing missiles at the police in the slow-mo video later.
The fractured skull protester is a whole other video – with no corroborating evidence I might add.
Over 95% of the protesters are peaceful exercising their first amendment rights. It's also justifying what I would call revenge, which is kind of ironic given the Christian influence in the GOP. (I'm a member of the United Reformed Church)
Quite interestingly, you used the word 'rioters'. Even the mainstream media haven't used the word rioters but 'protesters' or 'demonstrators' with perhaps the exception of Fox News. I know of one occasion of them using the word 'riot'. If you are using a generalisation, then therefore should the financiers of the Tea Party, Koch Industries, be deemed terrorists for their association with the "Iranian terrorists?" – an exposé by Bloomberg.
Surely, the correct response would be to take evidence and punish the small minority of rioters to the full extent of the law, rather than using barbaric police tactics?
"I once shredded a traffic ticket right in front of the cop who gave it to me and threw it at his feet,"
Wow, you really are one sh!theaded, bratty punk. Won't take responsibility for your own f-ups like a man, little boy?
Great! A year's worth of campaign footage with which to sicken and disgust America with the freakazoid Left and their Democrat enablers.
Yeah, right. So, bright boy: what marketable skills did you get in college?
Go suck your tea, limy. We kicked your ass twice, and bailed you out of a couple more wars, so I guess a little violence is a necessary thing once in awhile, wouldn't you say so, Neville?
I'm an independent. Now I know I live in the UK, but I didn't know CNN, MSNBC were Republican networks. I also support Ron Paul for the 2012 GOP nomination, I didn't know GOP was of the left.
So, simply by saying a page is an opinion page, that means I reside on the left wing of the political spectrum? Or is it because I merely speak the truth? OWS is not about politics. It's about socio-economics. The quicker people learn that the better.
But they're just like that extremist, scary, violent Tea Party. Right, MSM?
Err, that's Rossini. Overture to 'The Thieving Magpie.' But, yes, Kubrick did use it for the gang brawl in the theatre.
Why should he mention it? Dumbass picked a fight with riot police and got what was coming to him. Hardly news.
Oh, so you "hate" the 1%? Why? Does their wealth make you poor?
Gosh, those sensitive Lefties are always talking about verbal violence, and yet . . .
Brilliant tactics. When someone presents a better argument, use the failsafe: insult them. Bravo!
Our police have strict protocols for the safety of the police officers involved.
Lies? This page, its comments and video are making the generalization of that OWS et al are all rioters. That's one big lie right there. By your own definition, most Ron Paul supporters are liberals. Isn't that also a lie? Would be very difficult for him to be in Congress if his only support is from the left when he's a err…. Republican?
I poke fun and expose lies on the left and the right. That's what we do in the UK, regardless of political alignment. We don't flock to agree with an argument for the sake of loyalties.
No body gives a flying rodents recctum what goes on in that toilet known as San Fransisco. Got news for you, the bullies, thugs and other bad guy's are going to start taking advantage of the street urchins just like in the 60's. Expect a huge outbreak of disease and violence within the ranks. It always happens. I was there last time and I know what went on, rape, theft, muggings and beat downs. That's what always happens in the seamy underbelly of society. Why don't you truck on down there and hang out for the next year.
actually…. i don't need the cops to protect me if OWS starts marching on my home. Someone will need to protect their mob from my mob. The good news is…. this movement died before it even started. It is alive in a few Liberal/Progressive hot beds… NY and Oakland… maybe Boston. For the most part… it didn't catch.
