ok so basically you are saying that we should be thankful that we are only being pepper sprayed, batoned and shot with rubber bullets? Are you seriously that delusional? No person in ANY country should have to put up with any abuse from their governments. Did you forget or are you just so brainwashed as to not know that hey WE THE PEOPLE are the government. And if the majority of us are not liking the way things are run, it is our duty to stand up and make those changes ourselves when you have tyrannical people in the positions to make the changes and aren't lifting a finger to do so. You are an un-educated individual. I got the idea that you are probably some part of law enforcement, or some other government position. It's people just like you that are destroying the constitution and supporting this new Gestapo with a new name.

Seriously, this is the third very slanted pro OWS/ anti police article I've read coming out of the UK.
"Unparallelled police brutality". Yeah, right. Compared to almost any other country in the world, these spacktards are being treated with kid gloves here in the states. Ohhh... someone got peppersprayed!!!!! STFU and be thankful you're not in China, Germany, Austria, Russia, Ukraine, or virtually any country in Africa or the Middle East, or you'd taste some real pain. If you weren't shot outright.
"In Soviet Russia, police protest you... with a bullet in the neck."
When the author recites his twisted civics lesson, i.e. an Executive Branch Department is first accountable to a Committee Chair in the House, then to the Chief Executive/CINC, my eyes crossed, but I managed to finish this piece of unwashed tripe.
Is there some truth that our elected representatives are looking out for Number One from the day they file their election papers? Sure, without a doubt.
Is there some truth that DHS and other Federal agencies with law enforcement and homeland defense responsibilities are looking at the OWS with a suspicious eye? Damn, I surely hope so.
Is this author just one more dim-witted hack writing a thinly-veiled effort to cast the OWS kids and their puppet masters as the vanguard in the glorious and valiant struggle of the oppressed proletariat against the fat-cats and the oligarchs, as strains of the Internationale waft in the October breeze? Well, yup, yup, gawrsh, what took ya so long to figger it out, Comrade?
This article does nothing more than remind us that Reds can screw their tinfoil hats on waaaay too tight as easily as the Michigan Militia. Let's not forget that they are both quite dangerous.

And to quote you about the Michigan militia... You know little to jack sh/t about them. I know plenty about them. Obviously anything I'm assuming that you know about the Michigan militia was from your mainstream media. Mark koernke is a he'll of an intelligent individual.

It is time for americans to wake up and work together, as they are screwing you all over no matter if you are right or left.
Journalist Chris Hayes reported on a leaked memo that revealed lobbyists vying for an $850,000 contract to smear Occupy. Message coordination of this kind is impossible without a full-court press at the top

It's too bad that police actions are being used to bring sympathy to this movement that can't seem to gain more support any other way.
When you can't focus on the good things because there are so few, when there is little else, you take the bad, the isolated and instigated incidents and portray them in ways that benefit the cause, gain sympathy and support where otherwise there would be little or none.
They want violence and anger, and will not relent in their efforts to make it happen.
IMO
IMO you hit the nail on the head with this one.
I read where an OWS supporter said that their plan was to provoke violence through nonviolent means. To me, the "provoking violence" part negates the "nonviolent means" part. If their agenda is instigating violence AGAINST them, in order to elicit sympathy, outrage, etc., then they are not a nonviolent movement. Period.

And then???
I read threads like this.
It seems that within the first few posts there is ALWAYS some douche bag along with his/her merry, star happy followers who make it well known that they are not interested in such ideas and are more than comfortable living in their current comfortable bubble.
It works EVERYTIME!!!
I could start a thread about the evils of child prostitution rings and there would be some A-hole who disagreed with me. WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE!?!?! Are they even real?????
I still can't wrap my head around how people don't see the importance of what is going on here and fully support it.
No one is saying you have to get your fat lazy ass up off the couch and even lift so much as ONE of those greasy, fat little sausage fingers of yours. All you have to do is show your support.
HELL, you don't even have to do that.
Just sit back and watch T.V with your fat wife and your fat kids, eat McDonalds and keep your ignorant ass mouth shut so the rest of us can build you a better future.
You are in the minority and if you don't embrace the change that we are bringing NOW then you are going to wake up one day to find yourself living in a brave new world with which you are painfully ill equipped to deal with and adapt to.
Think about it and get back to me.edit on 26-11-2011 by Screwed because: (no reason given)

Your definition of extreme leftist being... what, exactly? I'm sorry chief, but looking at the rest of the post, you've not been alienated for not being an "extreme leftist," you've alienated yourself with your rage, your ignorance, and your crappy attitude.

I think the only self-loathing going on here is your own. You have to pretend to be oppressed and downtrodden to soothe your own ego. I'm sorry (again) but everything you said here is 100% and completely wrong.

I don't think you know what "homogenous" means. But hey, this is a nice change from the stupid "duh, they don't know what they want, duuhhhh" message that you folks have been trying to push for the last month and a half. Someone updated the talking points, I guess.

You're just making up bull as you go along, aren't you? Again I offer the possibility that no one wants you in the club because you've set yourself up for failure?

Not in hte media, perhaps. And who can we trust, if not the media, right?
Originally posted by TheWalkingFox
No, there wouldn't have been "lethal levels of force" - at least no more than is already being used. And you, and those like you, would still be eating out of the talking point troughs until you vomit up some inane ignorant screed, then go back to gobbling garbage. Further, there is no need to change the message to "appeal to more people." It's not an ad campaign, it's a protest. Maybe as someone who lives and breathes and eats and craps television, you can't understand the difference?

In the Bizarro world of "Htrae" ("Earth" spelled backwards), society is ruled by the Bizarro Code which states "Us do opposite of all Earthly things! Us hate beauty! Us love ugliness! Is big crime to make anything perfect on Bizarro World!" In one episode, for example, a salesman is doing a brisk trade selling Bizarro bonds: "Guaranteed to lose money for you". Later, the mayor appoints Bizarro No. 1 to investigate a crime, "Because you are stupider than the entire Bizarro police force put together". This is intended and taken as a great compliment.
Originally a normal planet, Htrae is now cube-shaped. This is due to the intervention of Superman, who - after being convicted of doing something perfect on Htrae, which would normally be a capital offense - pointed out that the planet was shaped like a normal spheroid and agreed to cube it if his sentence were commuted.

From reading your post in regards to OWS only succeeding by the USA becoming a totalitarian society i had to chuckle. So if that is what OWS wants then what do you call this police brutality and oppressive means by Bloomberg and his ilk? Ummm WE ARE LIVING IN A TOTALITARIAN SOCIETY!!!
But your perspective makes sense if you are posting from here en.wikipedia.org...

The OWS aren't arguing for better oversite, better policies. They are arguing for the government(society at large) to fashion laws that lock in someone else as being the sugga daddy for society. All they have is vague, unreasonable demands. Do you think the OWS people will come up with articulate way's to do the things they want done? Heck no. leftist's are notorious for being intellectually lazy. In the end a blunt object will be used to enforce their demands, should they come to fruition.
Look at healthcare: The only way Universal healthcare as the leftist's want it could work is off the backs of younger men. Young men don't get insurance or can't afford it = hefty fines. Can't pay fines= jail. Jail= Prison job's to pay off the fine= cheap labor for the rich. That is how Universal healthcare would work in America.

This is what your posts look like. All of them.
"I keep hearing bad things about the people involved in OWS and it taints the whole movement for me."
"I keep hearing bad things about the police involved with OWS and it makes me support the government and police more because I hate OWS."
When that makes sense, things might get interesting.

Added to their own statements of outreach to a hate movement(Feminism meets and exceeds the criteria for being a hate movement), you have to be blind or so far gone not to see it.
