Former marine takes out the trash of hippy protester at Rep. Turner swearing in.

You really should have included this one too. The dirty hipster looks absolutely puzzled at what just happened to him:


And the guy that threw him out didn't mess around. The protester didn't even get a full sentence out before the guy in the suit grabbed him and dragged him out. Take your 1st amendment elsewhere, douchebag!

You don't have the slightest fucking idea what you're talking up.

<- grew up in a police state

Whew, as long as somebody or somewhere has it worse, everything up to but not including that point is okay and complaints are to be dismissed.

Glad we cleared that up.

That's exactly what we've been trying to get across to your OWS people the whole time. You whine and cry about the 1% in America, but you're all living in the top 10% of people in the world! You could have it so, so much worse. I'll consider your protests valid and necessary when starvation, cholera & dysentery affect 2/3rds of the US population.

No,
it's using emotionally charged words like "fascists", "nazis" and the like to somehow try to justify your own stupid, illegal and classless actions. All it does is make you look like a dumb spoiled kid and takes away from the significance of the words.

You were born and live in one of the freest countries in the world; trying to draw a parallel between not being able to yell whatever bullshit you wanna yell at an official ceremony and a police state is utterly retarded.

I'm sure you were equally supportive of the tea party retards yelling "you lie" at obama,right?

Laws implemented by the people well before these protesters showed up.

Now these protesters are choosing to break the laws with no concern at all about the consequences.

the are not being forced to break the laws; there have been plenty of options. They want to break the law and have no concern about the public's property as respect to others.

Liberalism in action.

Irrelevant, and the image is spot on.

You might be able to complain that they all do not SHARE a single message, but individually each person has a message they are trying to put forth. The cartoon showed exactly that.


Maybe I should have been clearly. The cartoon is a LIE. The cartoon is trying to make the claim that there is some unified message, even if its stated differently.

Reality is there isn't even a unified message. There are the anarchists, communists, forgive student loans, forgive mortgages, living wage, wall street sucks, etc etc message.

The cartoon is trying to say they are all against wall street/government. Reality is what you said

"each person has a message".

A thousand people each having a different message is just noise.

Unless you meant that the cartoon was right is saying "they dont know what they are protesting". Which would be a correct statement.

It is illegal to record the police in several states, and will become illegal in more states in the future. Using a strobe light to prevent illegal video taping of the police is no different from wearing body armor to prevent illegal shooting of the police.

And this is right... how?

So the police, whose "motto" is to SERVE and protect the public, is somehow not allowed to be taped? Who thought up THAT brilliant law?

Or are you not saying the full context, such as not allowing UNDER COVER AGENTS to be taped by NEWS MEDIA for GENERAL DISTRIBUTION.

If a cop is doing everything right, they should not be afraid of being taped. If they are "under cover" and the ones actually seeding and provoking violation of the law, that in and of itself is illegal (leading) and should not be able to hold that same undercover protection.

Please do a bit of research, if you can, and show us the actual wording of the law and in what states it is in and, most importantly, HOW IT APPLIES to this situation.


Without these pieces of information, it really does not validate the interference with taping acts of enforcement by the public police force.

Thank goodness. The annoying twits have needed to go home for weeks now; their presence has been a nuisance for the rest of us, never mind the drugs and the crime.
No kidding. I'm liberal as a general rule, but these idiots make me want to vote conservative just to distance myself from them (although, let's face it, in Portland, voting conservative means voting Democrat instead of Green party). These protestors claim to be the hippy-dippy "peace and love" types, so what do they do to show that? They utterly destroy two parks which will costs tens of thousands of dollars and take months to fix. And then there's the cost of the police, which had to be brought in from surrounding areas at enormous cost (which has the bonus side effect of making everywhere else in the metro area less safe). So what did Occupy Portland do besides run up a debt of hundreds of thousands of dollars that us 99%-ers are going to have to pay for with our tax dollars? Well, there were the allegations of sexual assault and the drug overdoses... Fuck these self-entitled assholes. They are taking the good will of a community who largely supports the causes they are fighting for and they are shitting all over it.

No, they are out there drawing attention to the causes the the community largely supports on behalf of the rest of the community who is not able to get out to join them. Let's show them some appreciation. What you should really be upset about is the billions of dollars that the 1% have mismanaged and all of the wealth that they have destroyed.

These protesters are out there on the front lines fighting for us. Let's show some respect.
They do not appear to be fighting for ME, and they're certainly not on any worthwhile "front lines"... Hell, they're not even facing the right direction!

Wake me up when they set up camp outside of the Whitehouse, USSC, and the U.S. Capitol. They must also remember to leave their communist and anarchist friends at home next time.

Until then, they're nothing more than an unruly mess that needs to be swept off the streets...

Did you really not know about this? Similar laws are currently in several states' legislatures. The laws make it a crime to video tape an on duty police officer, even in a public place where there is no expectation of privacy.

I'm pretty sure the right answer to this is to repeal laws that prohibit the videotaping of police officers, not the purchase of equipment to make it harder to do.

The police should be videotaped more, not less.

Which billions of dollars are you talking about?

I am upset at the billions that have been mismanaged. However, that doesn't mean that I should support tactics that DON'T work just because the people engaging in them share a similar viewpoint. I don't support people camping out and subsequently destroying public lands in a vague protest of every perceived evil in the world. I don't support the single individual who scooted across the street on his ass blocking traffic and begging the police to arrest him so he could show what a martyr he was to everyone. I don't support the people who clogged up streets while trying to get 100% consensus on where they should move. I can't get 100% consensus from my roommates when we're talking about where to get dinner, how the fuck can you expect 100% consensus when talking about hundreds of people? And while you wait for this consensus which will never come, it's OK for you to inconvenience anyone else who may want to use the street, who may want to get into their car which you are conveniently sitting on? No, that's way past the line of acceptable or effective assembly. Being a public nuisance is NOT going to garner much support, so I DON'T support it as a tactic.

Seconded. Although right course of action would be protest at the states' capitals, not get into fights with cops.

Jumble 10 different things into one much?

The police state comment from airdata

So, I'm reading that police at #occupyoakland are not wearing badges or identification... interesting tactic. Really helps to prevent any blow back for illegal activities they expect to partake in.

Fail to see anything about fascists, nazis or yelling during ceremonies.

This self-serving douchebaggery is what bugs me the most - doing stupid, unproductive shit just so you can feel you're part of it. Rather than changing laws and having actual impact, the instant gratification way is to sit around in tents and yell things out loud for infinite amount of time. You have to put yourself in the front lines and fight the man, rather than meet with congress(wo)men and pitch ideas on how to fix things.
