#1 Don't worry America. The Presidet, the Vice President and Pelosi of the House supports the lawlessness. But be assured that if the real terrorists per Janet Napolitano of Homeland Security, those on the right, tries anything, the Government will unleash hell on those on the right. Surely however, Rantburgers will simply sit back and "pass the popcorn" as America continues to morally rot away from within and then simply dies.

#2 That's a bland presumption, and don't call me Shirly.

There was a report at Jawa where the investigation into mr. ihateprojectilesoffmyhead and police conduct. As per Oldspook's guess/deduction, the officers named by the cattlepie'rs were filmed and reviewed and at the moment do not have any proof the police conduct was at fault, which points towards goofy getting hit by a fellow protester.

#3 The people of Oakland need to get rid of this violence-inciting doofuss, Jean Quan. Unfortunately, I don't have much hope for this happening.

#6 Those idiots shut down a PORT yesterday. And who is that Port going to sue? The state of California and the City of Oakland for lost revenue due to man-made obstruction.

The police spend so much on overtime, and violent crimes and shootings are up in the cities because of the OWS protests - they cannot man their proper posts
It's public endangerment.

It's time to end #occupy.

#8 I wonder if some, currently reluctant, former Obama's donor is being told right now "You don't wont to be occupied, do you?".

#9 Yes, another case soon of Mexicans doing the jobs Bay Longshoremen don't want to do. In a couple years, close Oakland and see the business go elsewhere.

Imagine that, lackluster leadership in Oakland, CA.
What will they think of next.

#11 The then mayor of Seattle did much the same thing - right before the WTO riots in Seattle kicked off.
