Someone needs to tell these people that the first ammendment does not allow them to break the law.

I tend to agree and hope we are both very wrong. It won't be a single isolated incident either.. I am afraid we are in for a rough ride. |

Professional Protesters, communists, anarchists, and other populations that DO NOT represent 99% of America, don't actually get anything accomplished. At this point, Occupy is a burden more than it is a benefit. Taxpayers are footing the bill while not one single cogent message or action can be identified.

They're "occupying" or squatting in foreclosed homes, that's illegal. |

If they occupy in East New York, they're going to learn a harsh lesson in forced income redistribution.

Commies don't believe in private property. Unless it's their cellphone or ipad! |

Why don't you tell that to Rosa Parks? Or Martin Luther King Jr?
Both who participated in acts of civil disobedience? |
