I listened to the local coverage on 'progressive' radio. They were demanding that the police arrest the people causing damage and interrogate them to determine if they were Tea Party members trying to give OWS a bad name.

It was the Klan in disguise.

Officers made at least two arrests - a 23-year-old man for vandalism and a 19-year-old man with a knife - after hundreds of people marched through downtown. Police also reported recovering homemade incendiary devices made out of toilet paper rolls and fruit juice boxes, and the large crowd disrupted traffic and Metro and school bus service through downtown, with delays of up to 90 minutes reported.

Two arrests?? Two? Are you frigging kidding me? There were hundreds of people marching and only 2 arrests were made? No wonder this happy horse shit happens in Seattle every year or so. They're a bunch of weak sisters unwilling to defend themselves...they deserve what they get.

>>...if they were Tea Party members trying to give OWS a bad name.<<

According to the article the “black-clad” people doing the damage discarded their black clothing which allowed them to blend back into the crowd. That would be the OWS crowd, of course.

Questions for reporters:

1) What was the ratio of black-clad protesters to the number marching in total? 1%? 5%?, 50%? Nearly all of them?

2) What did your interviews of those arrested reveal as to their political affiliations?

3) What did your interviews of the non-”black-clad” marchers reveal about their attitudes toward those doing the damage, and about their attempt to blend in with supposedly law-abiding marchers?

Imagine what the reaction of the Tea Partiers would be if a bunch of nincompoops attempted to despoil a Tea Party gathering. They’d likely be detained by the law-abiding (and litter-free) Tea Partiers and held for the police. Not so with the “law-abiding” portion of the OWS mobs. They just provide them sanctuary apparently.

Obama and the Left are going to regret linking themselves politically to this “99%” mob, which is actually more like the .0000001%.

This was inevitable.

Is that a banana peel on his head???

I must have missed that issue of GQ.

Th ACTUAL “emergency” is that the non-judgmental, progressive Seattle liberals in charge, refuse to enforce EXISTING laws against their fellow Useful Idiots.

At the American Apparel store next to Niketown, assistant manager Mia Harrison was folding sweaters when she heard the commotion.

"I decided to go out on the sidewalk, and I saw all the people in black masks running to Niketown and our store. They started to throw smoke bombs and canisters," she said.

The vandals shattered a door and cracked two windows. No one was hurt. "It's pretty sad, almost like someone broke into my house," Harrison said.

Her mistake was that she didn't stand in her doorway with a pump-action 12 gauge, wearing a bandolier of shells.

An acquaintance was working at the Verizon store in downtown Seattle last night, minding his own business, when a sledge hammer came through the window next to him.

Arm the store owners and this crap stops cold.
