Silenting dissent from NDAA, NYPD Arrests Anyone Who Speaks: This'd Be Used as War Propaganda if NY Was Foreign and Had Oil.

Two protesters mic check about the loss of freedom brought about by the passage of the NDAA and both are promptly arrested and whisked out of public sight.

Is this the type of america you want to live in.

Good! It is about time law enforcement started cleaning up this OWS trash. You violate the law, you go to prison. These stupid children apparently never learned that lesson. Now they will.

What will you blame it on when they go after you or someone you are close to, for simply speaking your mind?

And for the record please tell us since when SPEAKING is against the law?

LOL, right on cue. ^^^
Exactly the attitude that has allowed America to be governmed by a system that does not represent the people.

She was not speaking her mind, she was disturbing the peace.

First they came for the Jews and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for the Communists and I did not speak out because I was not a Communist.

Then they came for the trade unionists and I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me.

The communists and "trade unionists" may speak for you, but they certainly do not speak for me. If you violate the law you go to jail. Seems like a pretty simple lesson to me. She violated the law with her illegal protest, and they took her to jail. Good for law enforcement, bad for her. Maybe now that she has been taught that simple lesson she will grow up and get a clue.

Everyone knows this OWS is nothing but a bunch of unemployed American-hating immature children throwing a hissy fit. So do not expect any sympathy from Americans who actually work for a living.

There are MANY OWS'rs who work for a living, just as I do. And you might want to do some fact checking on thst age thing.

Hope that when they start coming after you, for all the bull you spew online (because that IS coming) someone is there to stand up for you and with you, because afterall, you had the right to speak your mind.

No one broke any laws, you simply do not like the messenger......like lambs to the slaughter.
