What the hell is this guy doing at Occupy Phoenix?



Is "J.T." this guy? One website is reporting that to be the case.

You should have seen the wadded up panties in the Atlanta PD a couple days ago when a guy wandered through the Occupy Atlanta protest carrying what was reported to be an AK-47.

Hurt the cops, get sued:

Quote"Deeply concerned" police sergeants are coming out swinging today against obnoxious Wall Street protesters, saying they plan to "pursue legal action" against demonstrators who injure any of its members.

Ed Mullins, president of the NYPD's Sergeant's Benevolent Association, said his group plans to pursue legal claims against Occupy Wall Street protesters should they cause injury to any of its 5,000 members.

"In light of the growing violence attendant to the 'Occupy' movements across the country, particularly as evidenced by the recent events in Oakland, I am compelled to place these so-called 'occupiers' on notice that physical assaults on police officers will not be tolerated," he said.

Mullins added that any "assault on a police officer is not only punishable as a felony in the State of New York, but will also be met with swift and certain legal action by the SBA, which will seek monetary damages against any individual who causes injury to a New York City Sergeant."

He said over 20 cops have been injured in Occupy Wall Street-related incidents.

Yes, the OWS folks in Oakland just woke up and decided to get violent after weeks of nonviolent protest. It makes so much sense.

"The head of the police union has issued a warning to Occupy Wall Street: protest-related incidents that result in injuries to his members could be met with civil lawsuits against any group supporting the encampment."

How profoundly selfish of those who have themselves inflicted so much injury.
Psychopaths.

Hmm..is the injured Scott Olsen from Milan, Illinois? His family seems to live in Wisconsin, so I suspect this is a baseless smear perpetrated by a-holes who think it's all OK that the police fired a tear cas canister in a man's face as long as he's got the "wrong" opinion.

I read Wisconsin, as well.  Villainizing the victim may just be part of their damage control.

Here's the link to the original story. Look at the picture on his "I hate the Marine Corps" and compare it to his Facebook page linked in the story.

Frankly, I could care less if Olsen was a god or bad soldier. I'm just tired of both sides using veterans/active duty soldiers (because if it was anyone else the story would not have gotten the attention imo) as if to solidify support for their issues.

I think you've got looneys showing up at these protests with violence in mind to try and make it this generatios Kent State. I really think this is going to turn really bad soon. And as for comparing it to the Arab Spring is apples and oranges to me. The Arab Spring had specific goals in mind to overthrow leadership. JMO

Neither could I. I didn't include the link to make any point. Since you're a vet I was interested in your response. Vets aren't any more uniform in viewpoints than anyone else. Some of them loved the service, some tolerated it and some hated it. Most look back with some reverence later in life.

Occupy Madison Loses Permit Because Protesters were "Publicly Masturbating"

Paul Streeter, an OWS spokesman, responded to the situation: "[The protest] is indeed a work in progress," he said. Bwahahahaha!
