In response to rumors, lies, and hearsay that have circulated regarding the 12/12 Walmart Action, we, as the General Assembly of Occupy Denver and the planners of the action in Loveland, hereby reaffirm that the 12/12 Action is and has always been a non-violent action, and that we do not and have never condoned or sanctioned violence of any kind or the destruction of property.......

It's a shame that it's not going to be overly cold in Denver tommorow. The fire hoses would be really fun when it's -20.

I noticed that all the Unions quit running ads against WalMart when “CommieCare” got passed. Now they're back at it again. It should be a valuable lesson to corporations to not lay down with marxist dogs.

Those semis / 18 wheeelers have over-sized bumpers called “cow-catchers”. the truck drivers have mandated schedules , and don’t take too kindly to delays , or interrruptions.

If someone was to lay down in front of one of those trucks , there is a good chance the trucker wont see them.

If someone stood up as a truck approached, they will be ‘mounted’ on the cow-catcher bumper if the trucker cant stop in time .

What happens if the Occupy efforts prevent Teamster truckers form making holiday overtime rates? Could the Teamsters fight Occupy X?

Is there any type of denial of service or hack attack going on?

"This, my favorite website, is starting to make me crazy."

What machine are you using to post? I've never had a double (triple, quadruple) post off of the trusty old laptop.

I don't think it's a FreeRepublic issue, it's yours.

This is a very big distribution Center, serving all of the Colorado stores. It employes thousands of workers and gets hundred of trucks in and out every day. I’m sure that Walmart security will have their hands full.....

This is the same problem many have posted about in the last three weeks. You get the server error message repeatedly or no internet connection message. Then when you finally get back to the thread you see double or triple posts. We were talking about it this morning on the Sunday Talk Show thread. Makes me bananas. Short trip by the way.

I’d like to see the occuturds try to occupy the Wal Mart distribution center between Austin and San Antonio. There are some big cedar whackers driving trucks and forklifts there. Had a bud working there who was also in the military who was about 6’3” and 220 or so. He could take the 1100 X 20 tire and wheel assembly with the brake drum and hub off a 5 ton with one hand and arm.

BTW, this is the only website where I have this problem. Go to somewhere around 50-60 websites on a regular basis each day. Not one single problem. Who knows....

Would love to monitor cb traffic there. Just try taking a dump on someones rig. Tire thumper alert.

That's a big 10-4. We used to give our truck drivers a pipe for the load binders that had about a foot of steel driven into the end to check tires.

Walmart is the largest private employer in the US. That’s a lot of money paid into the IRS that these parasites want redistributed to them.

I sure hope they don't block Crossroads Blvd. around 6:00am or 5:00-5:30pm. Boy Wonder has to drive past there and he has very little patience with folks that interfere with his getting to work or home on time. Very little patience

"Okay - Here's the plan. We shut down the Walmart distribution centers, trash the stores, driving
up their costs so they have to raise prices. That will ruin Christmas for the poor people who shop there to stretch their money as much as possible. That will show the 1% that we mean business!"

I sell to the truck shop there. I hope I don’t have any deliveries tomorrow or my patience might get tested a little....
I do have a delivery right down the street so I’ll make sure to drive by and express my opinion to them...
