I took a look at the local coverage in Oakland/SF and they either aren’t covering the vandalism at all or are calling it “minimal”. It is obvious the media in that area fully support this stuff. The mayor of Oakland is actually encouraging it.
And in other cities (Nashville) there are judges who refuse to even book the vermin the police are sweeping up. In fact one city judge said the state is not allowed to restrict the park at all.
Things are going to get really ugly. I almost hope the police continue to do nothing and normal, working Americans are forced to take matters into their own hands. If these filthy hippies and criminals come into my neighborhood and start damaging stuff I am pretty sure the good folks in my neck of the woods will handle the problem decisively and with finality.
This “Occupy” stuff makes me really glad that we live out in a rural community.
During the ‘68 riots as I recall the only businesses in the effected cities that were not looted belonged to hard working Vietnamese immigrant entrepreneurs who guarded their property with shotguns.
These useful idiots WANT to provoke a violent reaction, and will portray even justified defense against them as “martyrdom” to be used as propaganda to advance their cause, much like they did after Kent State.
Look what the media is doing with that “Iraq Veteran” who got his gourd split open by a cop for doing who-knows what to him (we’ll probably never know, but it was probably something pretty aggressive and obnoxious). He’s being held up as a hero.
How many of those guys wearing uniforms at the occupy really have a DD-214 to back it up I wonder? If any of them are on active duty participating in uniform I would demand at least an Article 15 if not a court martial... but given who the pretender in Chief is, I wouldn’t count on it. They’d probably be awarded a bloomin’ medal for it.
During Bernadine Dhorn and Billy Ayer’s heyday they would put the women and children in the front lines with nylon stockings full of excrement to whack the police with and try to provoke a violent response. Other times they would break windows and scale the glass at the police at neck level. Of course the news cameras never showed that, but if a cop wound up a night stick it was all over the National news before it came down.
Back then they also had KGB operatives smuggled in from Cuba to advise the “revolutionaries” and in at least one case one of them is suspected of murdering a policeman with his own sidearm. They never caught the perp as the mob parted for him like the Red Sea to dash through and then closed up again before the police could follow (well orchestrated) but it was obvious that he was a professional killer. The KGB thug was probably just demonstrating how to do it.
Now I fully expect that AlQuida, Hezbollah and Hamas Jihaddists are on the scene as “advisers” like the KGB was before them. Stand by to see what they will teach the OWS UIs in the days and nights ahead.
Those of us who lived through the ‘60s remember all too well what to expect this time around - especially since a lot of the same radical traitors are behind it. It probably won’t be pretty this time either.
