Wait a minute..you're in another thread saying these protesters are rw trust fund babies living off the back of tax payers.

Now it comes to light they are lefties who didn't get their promises made by Obama.

So how do you feel now.....

She has no clue what the taxpayers of this country are enduring.

How do you even know where her parents are?... You have no idea... Your hand seems to be full of straws...

Don't get me wrong, there are some conservatives there, real conservatives, not the good ol' boy and gal type conservative. Though, the leftists outnumber the Ron Paul conservatives by a very considerable amount. This is mostly a capitalism is bad type of rally. There is no clear motive for this, and they have no mission. If it was a Ron Paul type rally, you'd see End the Fed and Ron Paul 2012 signs everywhere, and protests in Washington, DC at the Federal Reserve and the Fed bank in NY, and yet we don't. This is an astroturf rally, in Nancy's words, plain and simple.

This protest is not being covered by Fox News, so we know that it's not a conservative rally. This protest is being covered, though, by MSNBC. That's a clear indicator of who is behind the rallies.

In wartime, children are often included to make the attackers/police think twice. In this instance, the presence of children in a protest should accomplish the same thing. If they do harm to a child, such as arresting a 13-year old (or in other situations where they have handcuffed a 5-year old and placed them in a separate car from their parents) it should make national headlines. It is the wrong thing to do. Don't we protest to provide a better future? The danger is by posed not by the parents, but by the police.
Provide a better future or push an agenda? I'd submit it's the latter as a great many of us don't find the future envisioned by the radical left a pleasant prospect.

The child would be in no danger from law enforcement had she not been placed in (or allowed to place herself in) a potentially violent situation. Your attempt to justify the 13yr old's presence there is a prime example of the end justifies the means mentality of the far left.

Have you ever considered the possibility that the 13 year old did nothing wrong. We all know that police never arrest anyone unless they break the law

You mean did the parents ever consider the fact that Police may become violent? Well it is sad that we don't leave our homes because we are afraid of being beaten by police. The police seem to be the only violent people at the protests.

Trust fund babies living off the back of the taxpayers = lefties who support Obama. Get it now?

What are they complaining about? Obama is giving them all they want as fast as he can. They have their Obama-care, they have their NAFTA expansion, they have the amnesty he just handed out to illegals, they have more socialism than ever.

Have you considered that the police may have taken her into custody for her own safety?
