Is The Occupy Wall Street Movement an Answer to The Tea Party Movement?

[Conan71]

Have you not seen the confirmed reports of police disguising themselves as black bloc motherf*****s? Or do you just not believe them?

No, I'm usually not looking for reports on black bloc motherf*****s.

I want a t-shirt that says that.

Black Bloc
Mother*****r

A pic of Samuel L. Jackson as Jules Winfield over the top of that slogan would be perfect.

I'd gladly trade a "Honkies For Herman" bumper sticker for one.

I'll be sure to remember to accuse gun-toters at the next Tea Party rally as being undercover cops. It happens sometimes.

Florida Gov. Rick Scott is soundly rejecting a request from Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn to ban guns at the Republican National Convention.

Buckhorn wrote Scott a two-page letter on Tuesday asking Scott to temporarily prohibit the types of weapons the city cannot regulate, including guns carried with a state concealed-weapons permit, the Tampa Bay Times reports.

"Normally, licensed firearms carried in accordance with the Florida statute requirements do not pose a significant threat to the public," the mayor wrote. "However, in the potentially contentious environment surrounding the RNC, a firearm unnecessarily increases the threat of imminent harm and injury to the residents and visitors of the city."

That would be like banning White Zinfandel at a DNC event.

Yeah, it's a thing. In the past couple of years, they've been caught in Toronto, NYC, and Seattle. Last fall, one of the NYPD officers was seen committing acts of vandalism.

I don't really understand why that group seems to think that riots actually help change anything. The past couple of decades make it pretty clear all rioting does is get your movement crushed. Problem is that it only takes a couple of idiots before the police start busting everybody's head.

The Occupiers have obviously seen the light. Avoiding "riot" status by silently and peacefully crapping on burning 'mercan flags, having non-consensual sex with other occupiers and their small farm animals, pissing on coffee carts because they can't get free coffee and scones is a far better strategy than rioting.

Kudos.

If yelling and crapping on the American flag isn't an exercise of free speech rights, what the hell is?

I am wary of those who become incensed over desecration of symbols. Once you make everything a symbol there is no more dissent. Then we become like Iraq where people are persecuted for writing books or uttering words that desecrate the state. I still remember a suite mate from college who was riding his motorcycle through Norman, was stopped, arrested, and jailed for wearing an American flag stitched to his back pocket. It was real life Easy Rider stuff.

That said, crapping in public is a crime unto itself unrelated to a free speech right. You can piss into the wind, doesn't mean you're taking a shower.

[Hoss]

Funny. Sh!t stain throwing bricks off a building at a PP protest supposedly plunks one of his own.

[guido911]

Probably an undercover cop whacking one of his own at this PP rally.

Nice of you to show off your inability to distinguish between "some" and "all."

Okay, SOME, or one, part of ALL the sh!t stains throwing bricks off a building at a PP protest supposedly plunks one of his own.  Better?
