OWS Needs A New PR Strategy (Flying Paper Planes Into Buildings)
National Review Online - Youtube ^ | October 28, 2011

Posted on 11/01/2011 4:07:49 PM PDT by Pinkbell

Of all the things that Occupy Wall Street could have chosen to do at the banks they marched on, throwing planes at skyscrapers in New York City wouldn't have been the first to come to mind.

There is nothing inherently offensive about throwing paper airplanes at buildings, although it is an odd choice in New York ten years after 9/11. But that it became the final plan demonstrates a lack of thought. Ultimately, there is just something asinine about it -- something unfathomably childish. More than that, it was pathetic. One hundred people assembled outside an office block and threw paper at the windows; seriously, is this the best that the General Assembly can manage?

Not only was this ridiculous in light of 9/11, but it also turned out to be an EPIC fail.

Maybe they were just training for when they throw Molotov cocktails?

BULLSHIT. Sorry mods, zot this comment for profanity if you must, but no other word fits.

As many Freepers here know, I lost a friend on 9-11. If I had seen some "occupier" dolt do this, I'd be in jail. And he or she would be in a hospital - if the dolt was lucky.

I spent most of today with these morons. I was video taping their General Assembly and they first asked me to stop and then stood in front of me to block my filming. So much for individual freedom........Zuccotti Park is a private, yet public park. They want all the press coverage, but blocked me..........there must be secrets......

This YouTube comment on the video is perfect...

My thought is what kind of moron needs a diagram to build a damn paper airplane? This kind, that's who, people who've never built, funded or thought of anything worthwhile in their lives yet because most haven't even had their first job yet. What idiots.
