Kinda a coincidence that Coulters latest best seller describes leftists as having a mob mentality
* Interesting picture... But don't ya think it's odd that the best the photographer is willing to capture in a picture of two guys making their way past the dumpster fire and not the guys standing in blue windbreakers who, if you watched this scene occur, were standing off to the right of the fire enjoying their work? Maybe they don't want you seeing the uniform look of the provocateurs.
Not even sure this is held to journalistic standards tend to use pictures from other contexts somewhat often. PARTICULARLY when their goal is sabotage. But you know that DON'T YOU.
*Safety Advice If it's yellow spattered looking (like paint ball) IT'S A POLICE TEARGAS PROJECTILE RESIDUE Don't touch. It's Cop leavings and it's not the protester's fault they didn't get hit with it.
*I watched live from three embedded cam view how the actual police/protester 'vilolence' started. It started with with three punks all wearing the same bright blue windbreakers ball caps and shiny new surgigal masks come through and very amateurishly throw around some garbage pails on wheels. The camera man identified them as cops that were around earlier in the day trying to egg the demonstrators into fist fights. Then the cops' first target was a homeless guy who was simply making his way up to the park to bum some food. I guess the police thought it would be good sport to shoot rubber bullets at the homeless, since they so rarely can cover it up like that.
Either way GREAT FUCKING JOB BY POLICE... They arrested basically only those who peacefully volunteered for arrest. And as for the provocateurs... they were conveniently let go.
*The man in the mercedes who struck two protesters hard enough with his car to knock them under the vehicle was briefly questioned by BART Cops and let go???
Tell me your pithy little story of where you've heard of THAT ever happening and there not being something CATASTROPHICALLY WRONG with the lawmen involved.
Not to mention that the car was driven by a guy who was heard to say "If you cops put this thing down like you should've at first, this wouldn't have happened" Either way, the 1%er asshole got away. His demeanor and his statements clearly should have resulted in his arrest, at LEAST until a full investigation occurred. The crime here is vehicular assault... HELLO??? Can you Bogus Neo-Cons Contain Your Homicidal rage in favor of free speech and other constitutionally protected activities????????
M80s Shot at cops from 'bomb launchers' Ummmm not hardly... the cops fired flashbangs in open windows at people standing in them and some bounced off the building and came back down on the cops giving them a taste of their own medicine... All while protesters were doing THIS
And in the end somewhere between 2 dozen and 50 people were arrested when 7000 (protesters and cops alike now feel it's probably closer to 12 - 15k based on their tweets) is the about the lowest estimate of how many people marched... What I have heard is that's about how many marched back to Ogawa.
Anyway play all the circle jerk you want to with it, if you were telling the truth there would be a governor's call to the National Guard. No such call has been made IN ANY STATE.
Therefore you are willfully playing make-believe. I pity small men like you.
Prediction - By April tere will be at least twice as many supports of OWS Movement as there will be for the Tea Party movement/subversion. And at that point we have a BIG surprise for ya[:D]
Stay tuned for more big headlines Saturday.[:D]
