  • Massive Occupy Wall Street (OWS) Arrests across U.S.

    It seems the right to the first amendment and petition to redress given to us in the constitution no longer applies due to governmental discomfort. :matrix:
    Occupy Wall Street: NYPD Arrests 700 Protesters On Brooklyn Bridge [LATEST UPDATES]
    A little dated but still timely 700+ being arrested last month peaceful boxed in by police to block the intersection and then arrested for the police herding them into such a position.
    Occupy Wall Street arrests increase. Have mayors reached their tipping point? - CSMonitor.com
    More timely:

    A few days after seeming to accept the idea of Occupy Oakland protesters camping outside Oakland City Hall by saying "democracy is messy," Mayor Jean Quan ordered riot police Tuesday to move in and scatter two city protest camps in the pre-dawn hours.
    In Atlanta, after originally giving protesters until Nov. 7 to clear out from a downtown park, Mayor Kasim Reed threatened to revoke that order on Monday. He said the relationship between the city and protesters had changed and campers are "on a clear path to escalation."
    For the most part Occupy gatherings have remained peaceful and protesters cite free speech rights as they vow to hold steadfast in their camps. But mayors like Mr. Reed in Atlanta say protesters are breaking city rules that would lead to arrests of other citizens, including a no-camping rule in city parks.
    if the Constitutional rights are below the 'City rules' something is wrong. Most of these city ordinances are executive mandates enacted by the executive even though some are laws, they should be subordinate to the Bill of Rights...
    The Occupy protests have laid down a mish-mash of complaints about government bailouts, corporate power, and income and wage inequalities that they claim have become inherent in the US economic and political system, violating the social contract to favor the rich.

    To sit down with these men and deal with them as the representatives of an enlightened and civilized people is to deride ones own dignity and to invite the disaster of their treachery - General Matthew Ridgway

      Michael Moore: Wall St. Protests Aren't Violent, the Police Are the Rioters

      Michael Moore: Wall St. Protests Aren't Violent, the Police Are the Rioters

      Leftist filmmaker Michael Moore dismissed the accusation that some Wall Street protests have grown violent, telling CNN's Piers Morgan on Tuesday that the "Occupy" protesters are, in fact, "a nonviolent peaceful group" and the real rioters are the police.

      "There's no violence coming from the 'Occupy' protesters," Moore insisted. "What we've – what we've seen across the country are a series of police riots, where the police are rioting, where the police have gotten violent."

        We are already mocking the protests in other cities and Micheal Moore's hypocritical 350lb ass in the other thread.
