Occupy Arrest Scam Unmasked
Townhall.com ^ | October 18, 2011 | Kyle Olson

Posted on 10/18/2011 5:49:38 AM PDT by Kaslin

Leftists love to get arrested at protests. It must make them feel like adults and compensates for their otherwise very childish behavior.

But new video released exclusively by EAGtv shows the protestors pre-arrange who is to be arrested. That’s right – the arrests are as scripted as a professional wrestling match, at least on the occupiers’ end.

Cameras were rolling in Chicago recently and captured Chicago Teachers Union organizers finalizing plans for who in the crowd would be arrested. That’s right – it was staged.

Comparing lists on clipboards, the footage shows two union organizers in CTU shirts questioning whether a man standing with them would be arrested or not.

Organizer 1: “He said he’s not being arrested. He’s not on the list.”

The intent is clear: Overwhelm the system. Occupy the police. Provoke confrontation. Produce beautiful footage for naïve local TV rubes reporters. Clog the courts. Gain sympathy from citizens.

But it’s all just a game. And the media is continuing to fall for the ruse.

As more fringe elements continue to emerge in the #OccupyWallStreet movement (the Nazis and Communists recently declared their support), these types of staged activities will continue. But as their actions continue and there is inaction on the part of President Obama and the Congress, look for things to take a turn for the worse.

Sadly, I’m afraid, the teachers unions’ brothers and sisters in law enforcement will be the target.

There is the distinct possibility they will pay one of these “actors” to resist enough, as in assault an officer, and then when he gets beat down, with “the whole world watching” this will suit the organizer’s plans as well.

This could precursor to serious violence and looting that the anarchist elements in the protests want.

Give the OWS movement its due.

Maybe we should indicate ownership of the OWS movement whenever the subject is brought up?

I think the “Democrats OWS Movement” would be appropriate.

The Democrats have bought and paid for these citizens..and are due their rightful recognition for the effort.

The media is not falling for anything. They are complicit in the destruction of our country.

They’re getting their propaganda methods from the PA authority.

The only thing they’re missing is Christiane Amanpour droning on with her psuedo sophisticated mien about how both sides are to blame.

The attention span of the media these days is very short. They will soon tire of these Occupods and their ridiculous 'movement'. The stories will dwindle and fall off the radar.

The reponse will come in one of two possible forms;
1. The Occupods will simply go home.
2. They will start breaking and burning in a fit of pique as their tantrums become uncontrollable.

You are correct. This IS a precursor to coming events - next spring and summer. They are merely working our the logistics and learning from the error of their ways.

That's the only thing you got wrong- the media is IN ON IT.

SOP for the Communist inspired Union Goons.

This is a compelling argument for the dissolution of ALL Public Sector Unions.

Sounds like conspiracy to me. I hope that is taken into account by the courts.

Wouldn’t they be surprised if all the sudden, they were facing serious prison time instead of a slap on the wrist.

Agreed, I would also urge everyone that has even a passing notion of going down to one of the OWS protests, please, please do not do this.

Riots have this bad habit of scooping up everyone around, good, bad, and indifferent. The police cannot, and will not discriminate when it all goes terribly wrong. People who are just bystanders but are near the crowd get injured, and if chemical dispersants are used, there is always the very real threat of getting trampled by a surging crowd who is trying to run from the tear gas.

You have to be very careful when using tear gas in close built up areas, such as cities. If you don’t deploy it properly or in a hurry, you might put in an area that causes the crowd to come to you. If you don’t provide the crowd an avenue to escape, they may bottle up in a structure, which leads to panic, trampling and if the tear gas is concentrated inside the building, it could be lethal.

When US cops start getting injured and killed by protestors, it is going to get truly ugly.

Always carry concealed. Also be advised that there might be a day when you might have to open carry your rifles to keep the miscreants from destroying everything. The anarchists agent provocateurs have no problem with this.

If the Tea Party was as transparently phony as OWS, the MSM would catch it, report it, and attempt to hang the Tea Party with the information. These accomplices are NOT 'rube reporters', they're part of the scam.
