Based on the descriptions of the protestors of the Occupy X movement I've read on here, I'd be armed too!

I think Larry and Chris may also be Nazi thugs, using their logic:

KKK/Nazi's support Bush Presidential Bid

People who project their inadequacies into other people: Next time on Oprah.

Orangeburg, Jackson, somewhere in AZ, etc. Actually the history of US use of lethal force against citizen insurrections is quite long. Whose best interests do you think they represent anyway?

The governments.

When your country gets is own house in order I will listen to your snipes about the Westminster system. Until then, best keep your eye on debt !!

i'll keep my eyes on whatever i please, and say whatever i want about your country, and the evil english empire it was part of, the genocide that was committed against the aboriginals etc. who do you think you are to tell me anything? quite the bully boy, eh?

for the record, you lamented the lack of "conscription". your desire for a draft speaks volumes about who you are. and the fact that you never served says even more. here in america, we have a name for people like that, specifically the dick cheney and donald rumsfeld types who are happy to send others off to fight in wars they managed to avoid: "chicken-hawks". google it.

Great job Oakland. Rats are leaving the sinking ship.

It was time to move to a new chapter. Oakland business owners in the immediate vicinity have donated enough of their turf and customer base to the cause.

The movement deliberately challanges the police to enforce the law while the steadfastly refuse to obey the law. The movement is desperatley hoping they can invoke the police into violence so that they may have their "Kent State" moment. It's inherently violent and the only thing that keeps it peaceful is the police deliberately not enforcing the law. Are we a nation of laws or are we not.

It's a flawed model for a protest or statement to be sure but you seem to be sneering at the fact of poverty. The general health of our society is in part reflected in these things. The healthier a society is, the fewer losers it has.

Hey guys, we're just using your own brush!

I'm REALLY curious how you can call a Herman Cain supporter a racist. I don't have a racist bone in my body. Many years ago I was even engaged to someone of a much different race from myself. I DO, however, despise bad behavior from ANYONE regardless of their race.

As far as public parks go, you are EXACTLY right! They DO belong to the public. That means that it is EVERYONE's responsibility to keep them neat and clean. When someone trashes them, they are not being good citizens. If they DAMAGE them, they are violating the law just as if they damaged someone elses private property.

You need to grow up and learn about the responsibilities of being a good citizen.
