And what's your point, Skipt?
I don't like that Benneton(or whichever company is using this campaign) is doing the same - these people are being diplomatic and following accepted cultural procedures; not a couple of guys on the down-low caught out(though I am pretty sure only one of the two is outwardly against homosexuality.

Sure am. I didn't want my name attached to the sh#t show it devolved into.
It's much more fun calling you out on someone else's thread skipper.
Read my above post to you and take it to heart. There is middle ground, you just seem unable to recognize that.

It ain't the cops. They're just doing their job. The problem lies with the people who hire the cops and give them marching orders.
The Nazi's at Nuremberg who participated in the genocide used the same defense. Yet, the Powers that be during that time didn't find that as a valid excuse.
Why should we?
The cops are human and they have the freedom to choose not to follow orders that violate the Constitution.

he kind specifically meant to find someone dumb enough to
respond.
Do me the favor of letting me know who you are if by chance our paths ever cross in the streets or at the crags. I would like to to look you in the eye and remind you of this statement, and see if you are so callous that you are not ashamed.

I've yet to see you concede a valid point made by someone with a differing opinion.
They have been presented to you in the past, and no, I'm not going to waste my time sifting through threads to cite one.
Edit: it seems as if Happie and I are on the same page.

Skipt you are smack dab in the middle ground of those enemies of the united states..
You are a clear enemy of the constitution of the United States of America.
You are a shining example of the answer to the question.. how can fascism happen?

Apparently nobody read my earlier post or just chose to ignore it.
Obviously it is not in line with what you all prefer to believe.
I WAS THERE!
There is a place reserved for the occupy protesters near where these protesters were camped out.
Their camp was disruptive to the students in class rooms and set up right in a major walkway forcing students to walk off path and in the wet grass to go around. They were given three days to move a couple hundred yards to where the rest of the protesters are.
Those that refused (most not students at all) locked arms and were kicking, elbowing and spitting at the police. Coupled with the vulgar obscenities and threats toward the officers it was clear as day these particular protesters were not "non violent".
This sh#t went on for hours. All day in fact until the police had to revert to their obvious last choice. Which was using non lethal, non confrontational means to break up the hostile crowd. They could have just as easily physically removed the protesters with batons.
I've always supported the occupy movement as do most students at UC Davis.
These protesters were out of line and the police did their best to resolve the situation. That was my take of the whole ordeal as well as the opinions of the majority of students that were actually there.
What the media has reported and what you people are buying into is the purposeful deception and falsifying of facts to push a certain agenda.
I think these news sources should be accountable for printing known lies as facts.

Kinda funny how student debt lasts forever but Donald Trump can repeatedly go bankrupt
and the Government guarantees student loans %100 but lets the banks dole out the money at interest and NO RISK. Talk about a racket for big business
Peace

You misunderstood my intention from the get go, accused
me of some slights to Gays and you don't even bother to mention it.
Ummm, no. I was not suggesting you were slighting gay people. But that's okay - go right on being whatever sort of human you are. You don't seem like a very happy one though, and I am sorry for you in that.

No, they were chanting, yelling and using profanity at the top of their lungs just outside classrooms.
They had the walkways clogged up forcing many students to push their way through the mess or walk through a quickly forming mud pit to go around.
You totally missed the point and are way off base. It's obvious you know nothing about whats going on. It's pointless to argue with idiots so I'll refrain.
Point is, they were being disruptive to students and were asked to relocate. Instead of peacefully moving, they chose to provoke confrontation and incite violence then claim victimization.

Yeah that's what it looks like.
These dumbsh'its here totally ignored everything you said since you were there as a witness.
This how it always is.
This forum is just total knee jerk reactionaries most of the time.
The other guy is lovegasoline as he lives in NYC and he's reliable source also.

Point is, its just as dishonest as what they are "protesting" against.
That is why the majority of Americans are sick of the BS. Why disrupt honest people working or going to class if you are truly protesting the divisiveness of America?
If you are honest about it, set up camp on the Washington Mall and K street. Then we might take the movement seriously.

The police did the right thing. Those sit in people were making noise and disrupting the heinously expensive education of the students.
It was a purposely planned sit whose only goal was to get some
video of police brutality which thankfully never happened. They (sit in) lost.
We won.

I support much of what this cause is about. But I know, with these tactics, the only thing they will accomplish is burning down their own cities. And at their and everybody else's expense. Except the 1% of course.
Werner's right, Stupid Americans.

Pile-o - since 99% of the country is annoyed at the OWS you all
have only 3 possible scenarios in your future-
Where is a shred of proof that "99% of the country is annoyed at the OWS".
And again your opinion or Rush's radio show are not "proof".
You talk out of your ass.

I like Stich's Seurat.
LovesG,
isn't the kind of wealth distribution in that US map a fair representation of the distribution of intelligence and initiative in a free economy?

Felt like I wanted to do something. Sent some shirts. Hope it isn't too provocative.
I think he said something about letting their heads roll. Turning the other cheek seems a little easier to stomach. Definitely some wisdom. Maybe something like, the strength in meekness, when goodness recognizes injustice... always.
