One of the positive things from Occupy is the inability now for Obama or Hillary to use the premise of "they are beating and arresting protesters" before running another proxy overthrow of a country. This guy tracks journalists arrested...http://storify.com/jcstearns/tracking-journalist-arrests-during-the-occupy-prot And while the lovers of police crackdowns "on hippies who poop on the street" might be quick to think that a real journalist only comes from the Wall Street Journal, these are people many times with press passes and quite a few are from establishment media. The fact that many do their real job of covering up the crackdowns is even more disconcerting; helicopters are told to stay away along with journos who want to cover this in every city. When police violence and state oppression is hard to ignore, the outlets spend time and money talking about pooping hippies When will China help us and invade?
Why not give up your job Oz and join the ranks of the occupiers and do some undercover investigating? Fuk those assholes that feel they are entitled, this new generation had shit handed to them all their lives and now are paying the price. I mainly blame the parents who raised em that way & gave them everything and never taught them to be responsible. They are now learning the school of hard knocks and this class warfare shit the Govt. is touting isn't helping their cause to support themselves.
Because I have too much to lose to travel that far and I applaud Canada's banking regulations too much to get excited about Occupy Toronto (though there is plenty to be upset about) I think the argument has been framed for you by the establishment media (many of whom ALSO have arrested reporters). No one in any above tiny number is asking for entitlements and most are purposefully staying loosely organized around the fact that corporations and banks are stealing from everyone and asking for austerity measures from the people while their profits rocket--often with the help of the government they purchase What do you think of the Nationally organized police crackdown on the protesters-- including journalists trying to document it?
wait a minute. i thought the government worked for the people it governs. So then how can the top spot be "bought", as you claim in your conspiracy theories? I dont know if you remember oz, but this is AMERICA, land of the FREE. A place that strives to perfect DEMOCRACY, only to generously share it with the rest of the world. and another thing, wheres all this hope and change you were talking about. thats the last time i vote for dick cheneys smooth talkin half breed cousin. no offense to smooth talkers...
Maybe I just don't know the entire story....but to me there is a big difference between someone who gets a scrape on their arm while being cuffed and someone who gets shot just for being there. At least the journalists who covered the occupiers here didn't have to worry about getting mob raped.
you are very useful and appreciated for being abundant! now you and your kids get in that mine and work off the the cost of food and clothing we provided you for having the privilege of working for us! I have a thousand starving families who say the cost of this work you'll be doing for me is worth 10 cents an hour! You don't like it? fuck you, hippie! By the way, that house you thought you owned is mine! blame it on immigrants but get the fuck out! worship me! I have a yaght with a helicopter and submarine! It's those goddamned protesters you should be mad at!
btw I was imagining being Mitt Romney while saying that! I hope that dumb cunt gets in! I can sound just like him You're fired! Boy that felt good! Who let the dogs out?
you are losing me OZ I do what I feel is the right thing but am expected to pay for others who don't or won't try to make their own way> BTW how much did you contribute to charities last year? Ever drop some spare change on someone who asked you for it or buy a breakfast jack for a person who couldn't work because they weren't mentally capable but were on the streets trying to survive. I'm not heartless but folks who are capable that just feel entitled rub me the wrong way
let's say I am evil and tell all homeless persons asking me for change to close their eyes and open their mouths...this would take NOTHING away from what I am saying because it's not about me. So who should pave the roads? Maybe, we could all put the money into a plate and get a good deal on the costs for paving roads and those whom benefit the most from these roads can pay more!...wait! We could do that with other things but we won't call it taxes! We'll call it magic mystery charity money
