UC-D’s Morally Bankrupt “Kent State” Moment
Grand Rants ^ | 11-23-11 | Stoutcat

Posted on 11/23/2011 11:01:39 AM PST by Stoutcat

We’ve all seen the video: The Man (in the form of local police) pepper spraying a long line of apparently peaceful “Occupy” protesters on the campus of University of California-Davis. Of course, you can always count on the usual suspects (in this case, Joy Behar and her Weird Sisters of The View) to leap to a grossly overstated moral equivalence:

“A lot of people watching are too young to remember Kent State in this country, where the police shot a couple of students,” observed Behar. “It’s outrageous, this type of behavior cannot be tolerated by the police!”

Right. Useful-idiot college kids who, in practicing their juvenile brand of civil disobedience, were warned they would be sprayed, consented to it, and then were shocked –shocked! — when it actually happened. But that was okay, because all of the news outlets picked up the video and made the kids look completely awesome!

With that in mind, I dedicate the following lyrics to Joy Behar (with absolutely no apology to Neil Young):

News cameras and SWAT teams coming,
We’re finally on NBC.
Occupying and drumming, drumming,
Pepper-sprayed at UC-D.
Gotta get down to it
Spray is making us cry
(At least it’ll kill all the fleas)
Get all the cameras
And film us crying like girls
How can we lose on NBC?
News cameras and SWAT teams coming,
We’re here for the world to see.
Idiotic and drumming, drumming,
Pepper-sprayed at UC-D.
Pepper-sprayed at UC-D.

A Kent state moment is when someone actually gets KILLED by police. They’re running with this because it’s all they got.

And that fact alone is important, and a good example of why they are not winning “hearts and minds” of anyone.

Paging Joy Behar and her Weird Sisters of The View.....that would be the National Guard not police. That being said...never let the facts get in the way of your agenda!!

And then there’s Maude (Behar). Idiot-femi-nazi-in-chief and her fellow travelers.

Behar:“It’s outrageous, this type of behavior cannot be tolerated by the police!”

The quote taken out of context makes sense. It's true that the type of behavior coming from the OWS bums should not be tolerated by the police. The peaceful ones should at LEAST have to wash police cars as a community service for the next couple of years. The violent and the threatening ones need hard jail time.

No one was killed by the police at Kent State.

Shut your historically vacuous, ignorant Canadian mouth, Neil.

An American man don’t need your around, anyhow.

In the coming months,When a bunch of “Occupy Joy Baher’s home” freaks barricade themselves against her ritzy house in protest of Joy’s 7 figure salary, I’ll bet she won’t mind one bit if the police use pepper spray to disperse the crowd.

Iwas going to say there were 4 Kent State deaths when I reread your answer. You’re correct....the deaths were not by the hand of the police but the National Guard

This just cracks me up because UCD is so liberal as is the town. My kids went there and I always had a tough time finding a parking space as the town hates vehicles. They do cherish bicycles, which always have the right of way with no need to follow any traffic rules!

Also, my kids were always harassed by the campus cops for being unruly when protesting against the screaming progressives. I think they even hauled one of them away in handcuffs once.

For a change, the police actually did the right thing and the campus and town can't handle it! LOLOLOL

It’s convenient when the news media clips the tape to omit the protesters agitating the cops and ignoring their orders to disperse.

I can assure you that Joy-less Behar would NEVER let inconvenient facts like that which you speak of, get in the way of a really good opportunity to swat at the police. I am just dumbfounded that she didn't find a way to blame Bush or Republicans!

It only took them a week to show the action before the free vegetable was passed around. For a brief moment they showed how the a holes surrounded the mall cops. Now they are back to the effect.
