Occupy Kabuki Theatre. Successful blizzaro entrapment.

The police are doing the best they can, because the provacateurs are trying to cause a situation, where a protester dies and they will then have an excuse to go on. Countrywide rampage that would cause as much damage as a strong hurricane.

[Seeing More Clearly Now]

Anyone who remembers the campus take-overs in the 1960s and was paying attention knows that what the occupy movement is all about it provoking law enforcement until they respond with force. The the Alynskyite organizers will scream “police brutality” and have the naive media reporting about the “peaceful” protestors were “mistreated.”

we sat down, linked arms, and said that if they wanted to clear the path, they would have to go through us"
I said it before and I'll say it again, occuweenies, if your looking for that Kent State moment, BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR! You all are playing with fire. For all your intellectualism, sophistication and education, you're all a bunch of senseless schmucks. All this seems to be a lead up to the conventions, dem as well as repub, where they're going to try to "recreate '68". The long hot summer, knuckleheaded nostalgia at its worst. It's sooo cool, so chic, so avant garde to advocate "cracking eggs to make an omelette", if it comes down to that guess who's gonna wind up with the majority of cracked eggs? While your puppetmasters are safe and sound in their gated communities and ivory towers. Useful idiots indeed, Lenin must be proud. Take it from an ex-liberal like myself,(clean since my junior year in HS) burn your picket signs, drop the "bullsh!t courses" as we called them back in the day, go for useful majors and maybe just maybe you'll make something of yourselves.

So much pepper-spray, so little time...

Last night on the local (Sacramento) news they pieced together cellphone clips from various angles which did indeed show that the protesters encircled the officers and left them no avenue of escape. Given this little tidbit of info I believe that the cops were restrained in their response.

AS I said at the time, a carefully edited scrap of tape without context hides a multitude of sins. There was obviously more to this story. Surprised Amy Goodman let the cat out of the bag.

The occupiers want a Kent State moment to create momentum.

When surrounded, shoot your way out!
