According to Burlington police, a man was found dead at Occupy Burlington today. On the man's body was a gun shot wound, which ended his life.
Although the police investigation has just started, Occupy protesters insist that the man, whose name has not yet been released, had taken his own life. Burlington "Occupiers" clashed with the police after they had arrived on scene.
Much of the fracas was because Burlington law enforcement has stated that they need to take control of City Hall Park, where the protesters are being held, for twenty-four hours to investigate the death. Many protesters have refused to move, stressing once again that the man's death was "self-inflicted."
One of the Occupiers called the man's death a "tragedy of society." Another vowed that Occupy Burlington would go on, stating, "We’re not about to stop because of this."
Police have stated that there is no threat to the public. They have also said that rules of the encampment might be "changed" because of the incident.
I thought all those Marxists were against private gun ownership.
Hmm ~ gives me some ideas. Bet the cops are thinking the same thing.
wait.. so they don’t even have to leave a crime scene?
That’s it. we are a nation with out laws for a special class of people.
this shyt MUST STOP.
Meanwhile in Oakland...
BREAKING: News crews in Oakland attacked by a few individuals while videotaping shooting scene in front of Occupy encampment.
This sh!t has gone FAR ENOUGH! END IT! NOW!! Just who is in control in any of these cities, the city administration or a smelly, dope-smoking, hostile law-breaking mob?
Send them more ammo!
Sad that someone had to lose their life in this pitiful display of lawlessness.

Another one bites the dust.
Another one bites the dust, hey hey!
And another one’s gone, and another one’s gone,
Another one bites the dust!
THE TEA PARTY MUST BE STOPPED NOW!!
Thought the same thing. Equal protection under the law. 14th amendment means nothing. Add that to the list.
Only for Patriots.
not to go off topic. but how bout the obama tax credits for hiring a particular class of people?
LOL! You know I’m going to have to get out my Queen CD and play that one now, don’t you? ;)
You can bet there is a no snitching rule
No, Marxists oppose non-Marxists having guns until the revolution is over.
It never stops. That whole park and every “ occupier” in it is a suspect in the real world. Wtf happened to my country?
I see no one has considered that there may have been an argument ‘in the tent’ and that someone else shot the
‘vet’, and that this is why they are trying to keep police out.
