Even though the private property owner of the OWS park that was seized did not press charges, hundreds of the squatters were arrested and charged anyway.
Neither university protests or the OWS involved federal law enforcement, but local authorities.
IT DOESN’T MATTER! And I am sorry, but OWS parked out in public parks. Trust me.
Public universities are public property.
And NONE OF THEM DESERVE THIS KIND OF RESPONSE. This response is an overreach of a government.
The government doesn’t act this way when people are being assaulted on campuses (currently going on in Denver). Why should they be excused for this response for people who are sitting there. They weren’t killing anyone, they weren’t even threatening anyone.
You are wrong if you think the government’s response to this was warranted.
