Bring it on howler. You will pray for a police officer and can of tear gas after I get done teaching you a lesson in what real civil disobedience looks like.
@Conquestidore
I stand by my challenge. I would love to watch you throw paint on a cop in public. That video would go viral on Youtube… and once your family and friends see you do such a thing, they can deal with you because at least the cops would take some mercy on you. This is what happens when teenagers who never attended their civics class in high school or were too stoned, GROW UP to become sociopaths.
@tracrat18
And do what, refuse to obey repeated warnings from the police that if you don’t turn back and go back to the Plaza Park tear gas will be used? That’s all we need , thousands of Ex-Marines thrown in jail for engaging in an unlawful assembly. Why don’t you ask all former Marines to protest in front of the White House. There’s the problem !
@Independentsrock It amazes me that an adult could profess such as view publicly and feel no shame.
Return Bradley Manning to us! Bradley Manning is us, the 99% of the population of this country.
@illriginalized
There are not but a few thousand worldwide camping and protesting on public land and terrorizing the neighborhoods, you fool. DO YOUR RESEARCH. There are not millions protesting. Do the math. Take a look at the areas where they are protesting. No way there could be millions. Talk about inflating the numbers for your political agenda. These protests are being infiltrated by government agents and taking names. This could not have been better and there will be a backlash.
@electbassplayer24
You should be sorry, ass bite for encouraging people like Olsen to keep it up. Next time, Olsen may not be that lucky to survive. Count your blessing. Go home, go to your city council meeting and speak out like the rest us have been doing for twenty years and work within the system for change. I, for one, am disgusted by Olsen’s actions to force cops to take drastic action after repeated warnings. Ten cops have been injured in Oakland and need our full support & sympathy.
@illriginalized
The lunatics around the world have found it time to take to the streets and expose themselves as complete morons, anarchists, outlaws, jealous, sociopaths, junkies, high school drop outs, ex-cons, welfare recipients, homeless wonders, and freaks of all shapes and sizes. I have been to the protests and spoken at their planning sessions. They can’t agree…, don’t have a plan, and doomed to fail. This will drive a nail in Obama’s coffin. The violence now is proof.
@Independentsrock lol hundreds? The protest has gone global. Get out of your parents’ basement and join the rest of the world back to reality, kid. People have repeatedly contacted congress and have gotten no results.. if there were results there wouldn’t be protests across all the states of America. lol hundreds. More like millions you fuckin dickwad.
@illriginalized
These companies have no fear of you and hundreds of morons camping in city parks in a few isolated places. You are like a pimple on one’s ass. They will squash you like a cockroach as will the people of this nation who have no problem with corporations you boob. Why not protest the White House and het Holder to prosecute these criminal corporations? Because they have done nothing illegal. If you want change in the laws to make it illegal to make a profit, good luck moron.
@Independentsrock lol of course the corporate media is going to make these claims… their fuckin companies are on the line. Their jobs are literally at the mercy of the Americans’ hands.. you are sooo fucking clueless it is amazing. LOL Obama? Obama is nothing but a fuckin puppet.. Obama isn’t going to do shit nor is congress. You’re either some teenage little schmuck or someone who hasn’t even given a fuck about what’s going on in America. lol Complain to Obama.. dear God. I’m done with you.
@illriginalized
You are one confused and troubled piece of work, pal. Obviously, you have not read or listened to the hundreds of news reports that there is not one single coherent message in any of these occupy movements, which is the problem. I have attended their executive meetings in Petaluma in the park. They can’t agree on anything and most have no more than high school educations. Nobody is in bed with anybody else. If a crime has been committed, why aren’t you complaining to Obama?
@Independentsrock lol.. you’re fuckin confused. The protest in general is against the banksters and corporations who are in bed with our government. Nothing more, nothing less. Please kill yourself you worthless fuckin wanna be American.
@illriginalized
Nobody believes that. You need to read Thomas Sowell’s third printing of BASIC ECONOMICS. Then take two aspirin and call me in the morning. This whole Occupy Movement is a far left attempt to replace capitalism with more socialism which ultimately leads to communism. You think people are so stupid they don’t understand what it is you are selling? The problem is the White House that is making matters worse.
@12Oc7ock
Yeah, you are a little late. The TEA party already started the war against runaway government and it’s oppression through over taxation, over regulation, over spending, and violations of the Constitution. Where were you, in a cave? Go up against the freedom fighters and you will get your ass whooped little paint throwing man.
@TYSONHAWKE
Are you serious? I would love to see you throw paint and water on a police office. In fact, I would pay to see it to watch you try to argue why you are not going to jail. Without the police, downtown Oakland with all its banks would have been destroyed by now. Tear gas is used all over the world by civilized societies against those who refuse to back up and go back to the park they had a right to be. They had no permit to march on all Oakland streets and the cops warned them.
@illriginalized
You’re either full of crap, or a damn liar. Take your Marxism and peddle it someplace like Africa where they don’t know any better. I would rather pick my eyeballs out than register as a Democrat, you fool. Get into rehab, then tell your parents you are sorry for dropping out of high school.
@Independentsrock No one’s marxist here you fuckin whack job. Seriously you need to go take Economics 101.. because apparently you’re stupid ass doesn’t even know wtf is going on with the economy, with the banks, nor with the corporations who are in bed with the U.S. government which is ruining America. STFU already with the stupid marxist claims.. you’re ignorant and I’m tired of wasting my time reading your audacious posts. Anyways moving on.
@illriginalized
If you are a real Marxist, where it as a badge of honor for all to see. You think America is going to stand for a bunch of uneducated, unemployed, angry, dirty, scum to occupy our streets and stand back, look on and do nothing? You underestimate the 99% of this country who do not want what you are selling which is taking everything we worked for all our lives, (instead of partying our lives away and having illegitimate children), and give it all to you so you can feel better.
Scott Olsen, the “decorated vet”, Occupy worships as their symbol of motivation is the creator of the website “I Hate The Marine Corp”. Occupy has finally found their leader; A treasonous, jew hating drug addict that has been smearing the USMC since the day he was booted.
His skull was never fractured. He was never in critical condition. No brain swelling. Search “Scott Olsen Texting” and you will see pictures of him texting away.
“We are all Scott Olsen”
Yes indeed you are … yes indeed
@Independentsrock LOL You’re calling me a Marxist while proudly representing the Democratic party. You’ve officially gone full fuckin retard.
@montano8
It will continue to happen as more idiots like Olsen stand there for five minutes and refuse police orders to move back down the street to the park that they had a permit to occupy. Occupying an entire city will not be tolerated by the taxpayers and business people who work downtown. Olsen was insane to stand there like a complete moron. His parents should be ashamed of his dumb ass.
@Conquestidore
I would love to watch you throw paint on a cop next time you see one on the street. I will have a good laugh with all the other taxpaying citizens of Oakland and watch him/her beat the crap out of you. You would be lucky to get a tear gas canister instead of a judge giving you thirty days in jail.
@12Oc7ock
Bring it on. I got one with your name on it.
@AnotherNutJob
Yeah, like they had nothing better to do. You’re clueless.
