Re: man down

Exercising your constitutional right doesn't translate into breaking the law and running wild in the streets like a bunch of anarchists. Did you take a look at some of those photos? Doesn't even look like an American town.

I thank the Marine for his service but that is where it ends. He has no one to blame but himself. In my opinion, his veteran status went out the window the second he decided he was going to engage the police in armed conflict.

Re: man down

I figure all the "occupy" folks are pretty dim. You want change? Try organized boycott. If you think a bank's CEO makes too much and you don't like its investment policies, try this: Get a few thousand people to go into branches of that bank on one day and close all their accounts, clearly stating <span style="font-style: italic">why</span> they are withdrawing their money and moving their loans. When the bank's shareholders see what is happening you'll see some real change. Hard to get folks to do that? I'm sure standing around singing "Kumbaya", pissing in the street, and being a general nuisance is much more productive.

Disrupting traffic, filthing up public places, and creating hardships for working class stiffs is a poor way to win people to your side and evoke positive change. It also means most folks with common sense don't have a whole lot of sympathy when one of your ilk gets hurt while disobeying lawful orders from the cops. Being a vet doesn't earn this hippy a pass.
 
Re: man down

The cop was just using the equipment as designed.
You get hit in the head at close range with a tear gas cannister... you're gonna cry.
 
Re: man down

If you are using non lethal means for crowd dispersal (40mm tear gas canister) you do not shoot it directly at someone <20 yards away- that is potentially lethal. Regardless whether you disagree with what the marine is protesting/doing.

In some ways I agree with you, however; getting a thousand people to close their accounts in one day, isn't realistic either. They will need to close all their accounts-get their money in cash. Take it home an put it in a jar I guess. Or are they going to go next door an open a new account because they love that bank? Getting a thousand people with enough money to make a difference is the key-a thousand yeahoos with an average balance of less than a thousand dollars, isn't going be a big deal-in fact a lot of banks would be glad to get rid of them.
The problem I have with Oakland is as follows: they are what they are. They enforce the rules on some people and not others-commies if you will, or similar to nazi's. Real Americans like the laws and rules to apply to all. When huge homosexual parades and demonstrations get going in oakland and san fran, not only it is okay, but many of the local cops are part of the parade. The largest homosexual police organization in the US is in fact in San Fran, they even have a web page! Those low lifes getting gassed in this case, should have been gassed, but how about other low lifes? Is it just this group that should be gassed? A rule/law/enforcement policy that only applies to a group when those in power want to apply it, is not American, that is what I find to be the worst fact to come out of this. I remember a few years ago, the TSA had a policy that people like Al Gore didn't need to go through security, to fly com air, all other Americans did, but not "these type of people". So many real Americans (those that believe in Equal justice) were upset by it, the TSA suddenly decided that the security rules actually applied to all Americans for Com Air, now Al Gore must go through the TSA check points, as do the rest of us. Don't know about his EX, tipper, I hear she ran off with a piano player or something like that.

If either of my brothers, one doing two tours in Iraq, the other one tour in Afghanistan did this shit and took a gas canister to the head they would get no sympathy from me.

I love how all the conspiracy theorists automatically assume that the police shooting tear gas canisters into a crowd aimed, fired, and intentionally shot that man in the face... There's just no possible way a TG canister coulda hit someone in a large, violent crowd by accident....

Re: man down

Just check the videos the internet is full of those...protecting and serving (the true americans - those with enough green to pay)

I really couldn't care less but at least some of you would (or have) been screaming for jets when something similar was going on in Middle East, China or anywhere else. To some it might do good to actually try to use stuff behind their eyes and think a little about current affairs and who is a commie, lefty or a real issue and threat to "society".

I think too many "John Waynes" "Rambos" "Eastwoods" have been sitting at home polishing their loved ones (guns not wifes if any) and doing nothing while certain elements took your (and everyone elses) candy away. And now poor "children" and "communists" are only ones willing to go out and protest. But hey just go and vote see where does that lead you (and leave you) you're doing it every 4 years with what result? (one of definitions of idiocy/craziness is doing same thing over and over again in the same way and expecting something to change)

Look at where is body is in relation to the police barricades.
He wasn't exactly in the middle of a crowd.
The grenade in the crowd of people trying to get him to medical assistance certainly was intentional.

If this guy was being violent, it could be justified, but every video I've seen so far has not indicated he had any role in some of the reported attacks on police.

I certainly hope that I'm wrong & the Oakland Police used only the force necessary to serve and protect the public.
 
Re: man down

Crowds move. Especially when tear gas is spewing...

He doesn't have to be violent, he's part of a crowd that's acting in a malicious and belligerent fashion. That makes them a "violent crowd" to first responders.

I think they need better organization.
Police.blue line,who are they?Waht are they?
Are they even legal in the strictest sense?
I believe the only reason they exist on the level they are at now ,is the good,peaceful,unconfrontational nature of the population has just not had the education,or will to really address them multi jurisdictional swat boys and and any who are on call up to back em...

Re: man down

FUCK HIM!!! He brought the ticket and he saw the show. Play with the big boys and you're just liable to get hurt.

Did he ever stop to think that some of those officers that he and his fellow anarchists were hurling rocks, urine and bottles at were also Iraq and Afghanistan vets trying to do a job?

To those who say "well the videos don't show him being violent or resisting in anyway"! The videos show what the media and the anarchists want you to see. As usual, we don't get the full picture of his actions prior to him getting brained.

A little common sense goes a long way here as well. Myself and most people I know, look outside and see the streets ablaze and cops in riot gear, we tend to stay away. These fools want to be in the line of fire and then they cry foul when they get hurt.

When and where does a protest movement start?
Under what guidelines?
Oh are we just gunna call em ignorant,squatters?
We have all been dancing around this ever where.

This goes a ways back,heck I even watched charlie rose had on some guy Tues last calling them protesters,bad evil tea party gone astry violent etc..
This movement may be dirty ,and start off bad ,but something needs to be done in this country.
And soon.
The list would be endless if the list started back in say 1991,of the encroachments and evilness of what has gone on here and taken root,swept under a rug....
From the govt,educational institutions,the health care into every aspect of daily life.,the banking insurance industry gone beserk stealing how much?

Play with the big boys and get hurt.
Maybe, like I posted ,read about those rogues that made up the Bonus army...
yeah and they better not git to out of hand cause the mayors can drop a bomb on them,Since were just gunna fuckem!

I'll help you out: the 47% of people who pay no income taxes are subsidized by the 53% who do. The latter are too busy working, carrying the burden of providing for their families, forced to subsidize an ever growing population of ungrateful mooches, leaches, and layabouts, and toughing out the mandates of ass kissing politicians who buy the votes of scumbags with the earnings of those who wouldn't think of taking what they do not earn.

Some of you all may want to re-read this and then become more informed about some of the core issues in these OWS rallies.

Here is a very simple one everyone <span style="font-style: italic">should be</span> able to track - If the nation needs more currency to be introduced into the system, why does Congress go to a 3rd party (the FED - private banks) and tell them to print it, and then allow the FED to charge us interest? Why not just have an arm of the Government print the money and then introduce it to the system without charging interest to the American people? Consider that all of this debt is debt generated by the banks - not us. Currently $0.40 of every dollar we spend is borrowed money (think China) and every single dollar in circulation has some level of debt service owed to the FED attached to it. Does that really sound like it is for the benefit of us as a people? Or for the benefit of the banksters? Understand too, mathmatically it is impossible to repay our debts. What is the logical out come of that game?

I am not advocating irresponsible or illegal behavior, and I am not saying that every issue espoused by these protesters has equal standing. I am saying, that some of the 'conservatives' in the nation need to start to take a harder look at what the real issues are before the whole paradigm burns down around us. We are potentially on the precipice of a very very difficult point in our history. In the short term they are either going to find the way to kick the can a little further down the road, or the cornice is going to snap off and millions will be buried in the avalanche.


Good luck

I wouldn't put the American war of Independance into the same catagory as the French revolution. The two wars are different, and ended with completely different outcomes. One created a Republic under the rule of law, the other ended in mass killings and a dictatership.

Fed -> Commercial Bank -> local bank / credit union really doesn't matter. They are all ultimately getting their money from the same place - US. Coupled with fractional reserve lending ($1 in deposits gets loaned out at a 9:1 ratio) exacerbates the problem.

I see your point, and I think I agree with you. I am however unsure about smaller local credit unions. I was under the impression they were organized differently and locally owned and operated?

Also, wouldn't boycotting wallstreet or any bank not solve anything, only make it worse? If a boycott did succeed in bringing it down, the fed would bail them out anyway.
 
Re: man down

The answer is simple, put your money in your gun safe.

I have stocks, and that money is in specific companies.

I have a mortgage with Chase - and as soon as I can pay it off I will - I hate the way banks can treat you with a mortgage...

I have no credit card debt, I will NOT pay $200 a month in interest on credit cards, it's bad enough I pay $1000 a month on mortgage interest...

I do have to wonder though, back in the 80's we broke up AT&T for being too big, AIG and these banks were too big and became a monopoly - why haven't they been broken up yet?

Both GW and O have agreed that there should not be a single point of failure such as AIG (14 trillion) - rather than bail companies out we should let them fail, except the failure would cause a depression.


Wall Street is making my retirement, they are not evil - I loan them money and they give me a 21% return annually - what's wrong with that?

Play stupid games win stupid prizes.

His status as a veteran in no way permits him to do whatever he wants. I thank him for his service, but the police weren't firing gas canisters because they felt like it.

Re: man down

que: If you'd take time and actually read it and process what i've written you wouldn't be spewing "european is taking his bonus free time to lecture americans about their freedoms" and even so it's a sad day when a member of "dead" continent has to remind you of your basic freedoms which some of you are very quick to trample as soon as the right buttons are pressed. Maybe you should think about who is shafting who in this big game of life and instead of poking the man beside you you might want to check your six...


For the record (as some obviously missed it) it's not even the point who the protesters are and how many of them are on some form of social help program but about police, state, government and basic freedoms and who is willing and able to stand up for them and who are willing to release more of those to the government for protection against <insert your daily foe here please>.

It's not that i don't agree with you about people choosing to do nothing and live off those who do what i'm pointing out to you is that your 53% which pay taxes and are too busy to do anything WILL HAVE to become "unbusy" fast if they want their children to live in half the normal world we do atm (if you can call that normal compared to our parents/grandparents). And just for the record i wonder who is the crazy one here, parasite doing nothing living of 53% and protesting?, bankster&co stuffing their faces full of stuff they've legally taken from 53%? 53% of population being to busy to raise children properly, paying taxes for everyone else and see their world go down the drain and still work 3 jobs??

Who da crazy man?

from an economic standpoint, with all due respect, you are.
the world we live in today is a global economy, whereas back 50 years ago, it was far less competitive. competition is always a good thing, as it lowers costs and removes inefficiencies. if the chinese can create widgets at 1/2 the price they can bemade in the USA, so be it, we are able to use the widgets to build something better, or use our resources here for something we are more efficient at.

i have a feeling you agree with tariffs against other countries goods. history has proven time and time again, protectionist policies harm everyone involved, the most harm being done to the nation which imposes the tariffs.

Re: man down

Sharac, I think I get what you were trying to do there. Sorry for the extra ooomph in my response!

No one likes the ephemeral insider (Insider?) who always comes out on top. Unfortunately, they are often just that, epemeral; a bogie man constructed for the use of others to distract from their own malfeasance or nefarious goals.

It would seem that bull shit is still the chief export product of many of our people. A product abundant in grossly excessive supply, far outstripping any need whatsoever, though there are a shocking number of dupes eager to accept it if it is free.

I think we have to be careful not to buy into the script that is being provided: The police are using excessive force. Quite simply, this is not so. Not to say it never happens or won't but the premise is part of this farce. The organizers and those funding this "Movement" are trying to create media drama as that is all they have to save the socialist top spin they have garnered since the post Katrina horse shit yielded returns. Once taking the house and senate in 06, the template has been cemented.

Unfortunately, the wholesale, bought and paid for, media ("News" and entertainment) has so forfeited any semblance of credibility or objectivity, the employment of spectacles has been deemed essential.

Donny Deutch said two weeks ago, "what we need is another Kent State" event. We know that is what they are hoping for. Just as Hollywood blathers about being the center of creativity while seeming never to come up with anything more than remakes of '60's cartoons or cheesy sequels or knock-offs of the few original movies, or TV shows, the news media and flimsy politicians have become so dependent on the credulous laziness of so many viewers that even the most paltry efforts at deception gain some traction.

The point is, the bankers might as well be "The Jews". Get it now? Our intellectual masters are trying to get us to attack a construct while they continue to sacrifice themselves in their tireless, public service, for their meager earnings: Michael Moore, Susan Sarandon, George Soros, Awec Bawin, et al. Such stoicism...

It's bullshit and I am not playing. And I do more than just vote.

Don't concentrate on the trees,...
Everything your seeing is a indirect attempt to wag the dog again, and it's kennel is within 1600 an two other houses.
 
Re: man down

Que: I think we are in agreement here and the script being played out and i'm glad you got my point or at least part of it. But for the vast majority of tax paying citizens a decision will have to made and soon or the coming shit storm will be the last one for many. So before people go yapping around about commies, hippies and freebies maybe they should check their six and check the mirror and ask themselves what they actually did to make this world a better place...

I see your point, and I think I agree with you. I am however unsure about smaller local credit unions. I was under the impression they were organized differently and locally owned and operated?

Also, wouldn't boycotting wallstreet or any bank not solve anything, only make it worse? If a boycott did succeed in bringing it down, the fed would bail them out anyway. </div></div>

C/Us are organized differently, however they all ultimately buy thier money from the
same place - the FED. Here is an example, I live in an MSA of @ 200,000 people. We have @ 10 banks and C/Us. I was speaking to one of the CEO's for a local C/U earlier this week - they alone have $96,000,000.00 available loan out.

People need to begin to understand that when a dollar is printed it creates debt service on the part of the American public and is owed to private banks in the form of the FED.
The FED loans the money to the large commercial banks who in turn lend it to smaller banks. Effectively vig on top of vig, all of which is on the back of the tax payer. Now add 'too big to fail'. The debt isn't rightfully the citizen's in the first place.



Good luck
 
Re: man down

What are you talking about? If you are defending the protests then you sir are confused! They are crapping on residents door steps, they are costing thousands in tax payer dollars (tax payers who actually pay taxes!). And being a general nussance if you want to make a difference support a group with some class, like the T.E.A. party until then worry about Europe and the Euro and how all you idiots thought it was a good idea to have a standard currency for countries at different economic points.
