I know how honest that rioter was about trying to "hold" that van back from seeing how hard she was straining in the video.

When one of them gets run over for being in the street after being told to get up on the sidewalk and being with someone who hit the driver in the head with something he deserves to be laughed at especially since he did one of the normal occupier lie down beside the vehicle and claim that it ran over you.

Can you not reason that slashed tires does not equate to the loss of live?
Gee you are so funny with what you are saying. Keep it up because some are having a real laugh at your crap.

Not a boyfriend, just dated for an extended time. He liked his partners that he had (Not gay partners mind you, police partners). He wasn't a liar. If anything, I'd wish he'd lie more...or at least choose what he chose to disclose. As far as your blind trust in the police, are you suggesting that the police department isn't corrupt?


The news reporter in the video commented on the incident. Check out his reaction. That is, if you actually watched the video.

Posted the thought in another thread, but I'll repost.

What if citizens of the South and West sides had been part of the protest? What if there had been larger percentages of blacks and latinos, the lowest on the socio-economic pole, who decided to stand for a cause and call for an end to the wars.

Do you think police would be running over citizens from some of our worst neighborhoods? They're scared to drive through some of those areas. How would it impact their day to day activities.

America has already experienced bloodshed. Those who champion violence, whether from the police, or from the activist, should be called out on it and dealt with.

Classic liberal deflection.

How much did the Tea Party protests cost the taxpayers in the way of additional law enforcement resources, property damage, arrests, etc.... compared to OWS? Was DHS conducting test fly-overs with F-15s, deploying from Blackhawk helecopters, and running an off-site operations center (DuPage College) with Tea Party protests?

No, OWS is NOTHING like the Tea Party protests (where permits were obtained and no people were raped nor property arsoned or LEOs attacked in the process.

I'm skeptical at the story by both groups. Did these guys attack the van and that's why it drove through them? At the same time, the cop at the end said one person threw himself on the ground "near" the van, I clearly see at least three people in front of the van and possibly one underneath.
Ooops!

I'm not a Liberal you jackass.
I am for an America that is about Freedom, Equality of Law, that applies to everyone, smaller government, and Capitalism.

Not this sick joke of a government we have that is fascist to the core.
With all the butt licking presidents we have had in the past 30 years.

If meteor landed on Washington Dc and Wall Street, it would be a day to break out the wine and celebrate.
