quote: ORIGINAL: DarqueMirror quote: ORIGINAL: rulemylife What if there is a fire in that crowded theater? I can't warn anyone? I think you already know the answer to that. But if you yell it and it causes a stampede of people and some get hurt, YOU are on the hook for the damages. So let me me understand this. If there is a fire I should just let people die instead of warning them? Another graduate of Bill and Ted's School of Law.

quote: ORIGINAL: DarqueMirror quote: ORIGINAL: DomKen So fucking what? A potential riot isn't illegal and police have no right to try and break up a peaceful gathering even if they believe it will become violent. Police don't get to arrest people simply because the police think they might commit a crime in the future. The police certainly cannot restrict the rights I risked my life to defend simply because of the possibility of rioting. Well golly gee. I guess your side's point is moot since here it is 7:04 am and the first topic mentioned on the national news was that the tear gas and such was used by police after "peacefully gathering protesters" started throwing rocks and bottles at cops. Peaceful gathering my ass. As I said, the "potential" for violence in large groups of people when it's already confirmed that 31% believe in using said violence is more than enough reason to order a crowd to disperse. But hey...I kinda just wish the cops would have waited until the riot got going full-swing, then they could have let the bullets fly and thinned the "stupid" herd a bit. So by your logic, if the police think a group might become violent they are allowed to violently break up a peacefull assembly and if the attacked civilians defend themselves that justifies the police's violence? Am I the only one that sees a problem with this?

I can't believe this is one of the right-wing talking points regarding the Oakland fiasco, especially in the context that not long ago their own protesters were marching while armed, condoning violence and talking of a second American revolution, and carrying violent signs and iconography. It's amazing they can be regarded as both "violent thugs" as said by right-wing media and dirty hippies all at the same time.

I love the way the "Occupy Wall Street" movement has become nothing but a police blotter this past week.

Depends on what you consider successful. Its successful only if they dont return.

quote: ORIGINAL: DarqueMirror quote: ORIGINAL: rulemylife There are many corporations that offer tuition programs as a job benefit. Because it also benefits the company by having employees with higher skill levels. Yeah, one of those "corporations" is called the military. And the catch to your point is you have to WORK to earn those programs. The companies aren't just going to point at Mr. Random Protester and say "hey, would YOU like free tuition?" And it has already been pointed out to you that the majority of these protesters are employed and came out on their time off from work. It's interesting to note that I didn't see you on here complaining of the teabagger protests. But my guess is you are someone's sock puppet. Especially since you don't have an active profile. No one comes on here being so vociferous with only a couple hundred posts. You've obviously been here before and you were probably banned under your previous screen name.

Some of these guys are so frozen in their abject prejudice you could walk up and take a louisville to their head and they'd still type what Limbaugh downloaded to em at lunch. In the pics, which are in chronological order. The second shot I think shows the cops themselves hurling sealed garbage cans about in a deliberate effort to make a mess. these dude just aren't breathing real fucking 02.

Ha these Occupiers wanted this to be like Arab Spring, we are going to make it like Arab Spring. Just because you "peaceful" doesnt mean we have to be. We are the LAW. That is American Freedom http://youtu.be/OZLyUK0t0vQ

The only "right protesters" in recent memory are the TEA parties. No, neither of you used the term "TEA partiers". He used insulting, denigrating phrases, and you knew exactly who he meant. As we all did. Are you saying you meant some other recent "right" group of protesters? [8\|] Firm.
