VIDEO: Occupy protest turns violent outside Washington Convention Center
The Daily Caller ^ | 11/05/2011 | Michelle Fields

Occupy DC protesters tried to force entry into the Washington Convention Center on Friday, where Americans for Prosperity is hosting their “Defending the American Dream Summit.” The protesters also formed roadblocks, surrounding the convention center and only allowing non-luxury cars to pass.

If you ask them why they are there you get 10 different answers. I still don’t get it.

I wasn’t sure, that woman tells the reporter something about recording all the protesters are saying, you can tell she quite angry with the punks, then the guy pulls her out by the hair. It’s not like he’s going to leave his wife and child and engage the mob of punks right then and there, that could turn out very bad. The punks were violent. So he just gets his family out of there. That’s what it looked like to me.

I’d be tempted to come back with a few friends when I got my wife and kids home.

That is terrifying. Why do the police even let them get close to the building? They set up huge “protection zones” for abortion clinics where protesters just kneel and say the rosary, but thuse pukes are shoving and beating middle aged ladies, small children, and trying to incite the police.

Not to mention the stunt of lying down in front of a car when the person is trying to get through and then claiming that the driver “hit them.”

They've simply been brainwashed into a frenzy, don't look for rationality. If any of them was smart enough to tie a noose they'd be looking for someone to hang, it is true Lynch mob democracy.

Mix in some booze and drugs and a few more pep rallies by Obama and all Hell is going to pop between now and election day. Martial law is a definite possibility.

If you search back a bit you will find all kinds of posts from some of us predicting this.

People have been calling me nuts for 30 years but I get no pleasure from saying I told you so.

If you decide to prepare to defend your family DO IT NOW while it is still possible,

Let them just TRY to surround my car at an intersection, and tell me to “Turn around”. Let them TRY IT. Please. Let them try to surround me and make ANY threat or demand.

Please.

No, the protesters wouldn’t let her and her husband and child through and had obviously shoved the kid - she went back and was screaming at them, “don’t you dare touch my kid,” and then her husband (who had the child in his other hand) grabbed her by the hair because it was probably the only thing he could reach and he was afraid the mob was going to attack her. SHe was obviously one angry lady!

My experience is that many women tend to let their mouth get their butt in trouble. When you’re surrounded by insane barbarians it is no time to stand there and flap your jaw.

I noticed one of the “protesters” in the first part of the video was banging on the door while holding a plastic glass in his other hand that sure looked to me like a drinks glass.

Remember Rachel Corrie? These idiots are taking lessons from her if they want to wander out in traffic and hope nobody hits them.

Do these idiots know what happened to Rachel Corrie, and will they learn from her mistakes?

LOL...you mean, they end up getting your butt in trouble!

They start it, you get to finish it!

Believe me, I've been there.

Since the MSM narrative is that the Occupy groups are like the Tea Party...........

Can anyone tell me when there was violence or intimidation or arrests at Tea Party protests? Doesn’t it seem that the behavior of the Occupy Wall Street people is just a bit different than the behavior at Tea Party protests???????

No doubt a lot of them are drunk or stoned but they are all caught in a mob feeding frenzy. The communists are masters at starting this kind of thing.

Obama should be charged with sedition for his part in this..

The possibility that elections won't occur looks more likely every day.

Sad part is, the law DID let them hurt people... they ARE literally asking to get laid out...and then antagonize AFTER they cause mayhem... I think not only these scum don’t know what is coming...many of us just trying to live our lives, go to work, etc. etc... are standing back with our mouths agape as this sh*t goes on day after day, with the prodding of the scum defiling our white house...

Tea Party people don’t allow themselves to be indoctrinated this way. We are rational.

They’re now in the “Look what you made me do!” stage. That’s a very dangerous place.

Men tend to learn that they might have to back up their words with some knuckles. It’s always best to start your brain before putting your mouth in gear.

“The worst part is your hands are tied by the law...”

No. The worst part is that U.S. citizens have become a nation of sheep. I don’t live in the U.S. so blame it on yourselves.

As an American citizen, I took to the streets many times against Noriega.

Over a hundred million conservatives who are to chicken to control a handful of crooks.

You deserve what you get…a dictator nation.

Do I sound angry and disappointed with the U.S.? You bet.
