I am in tears. Hysterical.

"We are the 99% of the 99%!"

The drums man, the drums

*sound of water gurgling  then coughing*

Thanks =)

Definitely. A shame he died, but I still hate Apple products.

Yes, making trending the chant: "Get jobs you lazy bums" yet again.  By doing Occupy the problems with unemployment has cleared itself up like magic.

1) Why won't they?  They do in most other countries like France.  Aside from which, unemployment for college grads is at like... 4%.

4)  Who got the 40 month term?  Is it light, well yeah sure.  It isn't armed robbery though... and I don't think people actually do care that much since they never push for the offending legislation to be repealed.

5)  How would there never be opponent bills?  If the politicians aren't picking the laws to vote on, who is?  If it's the people there will only be MORE opponent bills since the people are far more divided then politicians in what they believe in... this brings a large issue as people often just vote for things that are up to a vote if they don't have a strong feeling about it.

Which brings me to a new point

6)  In greece in the Austerity riots huge fights broke out.  Between the protesting Anarcists and the protesting Rioters.  It's nearly impossible to get a revolution in a democracy where everyone still has the right to vote, because revolutions, like the recent ones in Libya and Egypt for example are made up of disparent parties that feel disenfranchised, and democracy is the only way to satisfy those agendas.  It's REALLY hard to convince people to revolt against the US government when they could just as eaisily run a "Direct Democracy" candidate, or whatever the hell else they want, and try to vote them in peacefully.

If they don't have enough of a majority to elect them you can bet a revolution would be worthless since those who don't want a revolution will just rise up as well... and if the revolutionaries are mostly the super left wing like occupy wallstreet, they'll be in real trouble since it's mostly conservatives who own most of the guns.

7) Actually that one unjustified act ended up justified as well, the women got pepersprayed by accident when it sprayed out farther then he though due to the wind.   He was aiming for protestsers who weren't on the shot, but were on the ground trying to pull down the barriers/grab polices feet.  At that point it's either pepper spray or a boot to the mouth, and the pepper spray is the better option.

If only all the news coming out of it was so funny though...

Well, I do think that's pretty funny. Creepy, sure, but still funny. It shows just how deluded some of these people are. Besides, what are the odds of someone actually getting raped at one of these things anyway?

Oh, let's see... calculate the number of people at the occupy event times the length of time and the amount of times a rape can break out when you have that many people in one spot that prolonged period of time.

Is it that people were expecting there to be no crimes happening over that prolonged period of time, with that many people there?  If you are opposed to Occupy, it would be best you hope it didn't happen, because Occupy would then be demonstrating itself as the solution to crime in cities, which it in no shape or form has even claimed to be.

Anyhow, carry on.  Definitely need the Occupy movement to turn into a narrowly driven agenda movement that excludes as many people as the Tea Party movement does, so that we can get even more polarizing and have it so that the country turns into a full blown Civil War everywhere, complete down to shooting amongst the people.  Of course the only ones shooting will be either the government implementing a police state, or Tea Party folks yelling "Don't tread on me" as the engage in target practice against the Occupy folks.  Now, that makes for a GREAT comedy: American Autumn, a play in 3 parts.

Or, they all can just go home, leave Wall Street alone, continue to be at home without jobs (I guess they are too lazy to find any in this full employment utopia Obama brought people), and just STFU.  Hey, just suck it down, and as Europe implodes, the Fed will bail them out to prop up the economy and flush extra cash into Wall Street to save the economy.  But of course, who needs the extra help.  I am sure some Tea Partiers with automated weapons can storm the Fed and take Ben B. hostage and say they will shoot him unless the madness stops.

I guess you totally missed the "Occupy Baltimore wants you to NOT report any cases of rape or other crimes to the authorties" thing in an attempt to legitamize the occupy Baltimore area as a legitamite version of how the country should run.

When you look at the numbers of protestors, even now you'd note that the Occupy Wallstreet movent ALREADY excludes more people then the Tea Party movement, as even with the "world wide movement" now they still have less protestors then the very begining of movement.
