The protest movement Occupy DC stormed the Washington Convention center on Friday night. About five dozen Occupy DC members gathered to protest the conservative free market group Americans for Prosperity “Defending the American Dream” summit dinner. A half a dozen people were either arrested or given citations.
As they tried to force their way into the building, protestors shoved both an elderly gentleman and an elderly lady to the ground. The elderly woman, reportedly 78-year old Dolores Broderson, fell down a flight of stairs outside the convention center. Broderson was taken by ambulance to the hospital.
Occupy DC protestors also tried to break down the doors of the convention center to enter. Protestors moved metal trash cans to block exits, stopping a woman in a wheelchair from leaving.
Another Occupy DC protestor used her young toddler, about two years old, as part of a human chain to block Summit attendees from leaving the dinner. Occupy DC has settled in D.C.’s McPherson Square in September without a permit, and similar to Occupy Wall Street is now a tent city.
Seeing the mayhem, and elderly people getting hurt, Jennifer Stefano, a former Emmy-nominated TV reporter who now runs Pennsylvania’s chapter of Americans for Prosperity, says she grabbed her cell phone and "went out into the crowd and shot some video.”
Stefano says: “I refused to walk out the back door and walked out the front. Not that I was very courageous. A whole crowd walked out with me, including a World War II veteran in a wheel chair who went out in front of me. He wouldn't go out the back either.”
(View here what Stefano recorded.)

At least they are aiming their displeasure at the right town, if not precisely the right target. They ought to be directing their ire and spite on the doorstep of the Organizer-in-Chief, but this is all being done with him leading from behind, his normal position of “command”.
These Obamavilles are a festering hodgepodge of everything that’s bad in the world’s society and it will implode sooner rather than later. There’s no order or logic in/with these nut jobs and fairly soon they’ll eat their own, so to speak?
Just doing what Obama told them to do during the campaign.
“Go out and get in their faces”.

Billionaire business mogul Penny Pritzker is a member of one of America’s richest families and was the Finance Chair for the presidential campaign of Barack Obama. It was Pritzker that led the prolific, and illegal, fundraising that helped power Barack Obama’s presidential campaign. She was the chair of Chicago-based Superior Bank’s board for five years. Pritzker was into subprime lending before it became all the rage starting in around 2000. Prtizker's chairmanship was to concentrate on sub prime lending, principally on home mortgages, but for a while in subprime auto lending, too, after the Pritzkers' bank acquired its wholesale mortgage organization division, Alliance Funding, in December 1992. Superior Bank went belly up in 2001 with over $1 billion in insured and uninsured deposits; 1,406 depositors lost much of their life savings. This collapse came amid harsh criticism of how Superior’s owners promoted sub-prime home mortgages. |
