...organizers are calling historic because they say it merges the Occupy and prisoners' rights movements.

It sounds to me like the freeloading space cadets are losing it. They've gone in search of a cause.

[Huntress]

The groups are seeking change at both the state and federal levels, and are planning an "Occupy the Justice Department" action in Washington, D.C., on April 24.

I can't wait to see how Holder reacts to this.

[Patrick1]

Damn, I didn’t even know there was a ‘prisoner rights’ movement. Learn something new everyday.

[I see my hands]

Stupid hippie activists. Wouldn't want to sink to their level and accomplish things. Better to mock them while we pick up litter.

I bet we're polite to the oven attendants.

[Dilbert San Diego]

Holy Toledo.....

Can I ask a stupid question???

Do these Occupy idiots really think that merging their movement and some half-blank “prisoner’s rights” movement is going to resonate with “middle America” and mainstream politicians? Do they really think that abolishing popular laws such as three strikes, or banning the trying of juveniles as adults, when accused of murder and other serious crimes, are winning issues?

These “Occupy” people complained about the homeless infiltrating their camps. How would they like hardened criminals who are not in prison for lengthy sentences because we abolish three strikes laws doing the same?

Or look at another way, how can anyone take the Occupy Wall Street movement seriously, if now they are moving on to some liberal fantasy of “prisoner’s rights”???????

Just let those people in, then re-secure the gates. Problem solved.

Doncha know, everybody has special rights, except for Conservatives and Republicans.

[max americana]

‘Prisoner’s rights, criminal’s rights, dog’s rights, gay rights..clearly these lefty pukes have so much time on their hands they keep coming up with more rights out of their rear ends.

[nickcarraway]

I think Chuck Colson has been doing that for a long time.

[bigbob]

Right location, wrong side of the fence.

[USNBandit]

I guess these OWS people don't realize who they are siding with. The California prison system isn't run by the corrections staff. It is run by the inmates. Allowing prisoners to have privileges has only helped the gang organization to take hold in the prison system.

What we need is a prison system more like Japan where prisoners aren't allowed a lot of contact with each other.

[Hunton Peck]

...historic...

I sense a new drinking game in the making.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Funny that no Occupier is calling this “Occupy San Quentin.” I wonder why :-)

[NonValueAdded]

Let me be the n^th to say "by all means, let them occupy the prison."

[noinfringers2]

Holder will serve them coffee and doughnuts.

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

“Damn, I didn’t even know there was a ‘prisoner rights’ movement. Learn something new everyday.”

Yup, many of these are ‘prisoners rights’ moms.

[Sarah Barracuda]

I say put those occupy freaks in prison and everyone wins..throw them all in the pokey, including those idiots we set free from Iran, WOW what a terrible mistake that was..wonder if Iran would do US a favor and take them back

[RitchieAprile]

I guess in Japan prison they don’t get the seared tuna sashimi on rugula with a balsamic drip..
