Why #OWS Spells Trouble for the GOP

Huh? Anyway...
So you are asked for proof that the protesters themselves are responsible for the violence that the police are reacting to so you post a story of the protesters being victimized, not by other protesters, but by strangers unaffiliated with the group as proof that they protesters are the ones being violent????

If that isn’t the strangest twist of logic I have ever seen, I don’t know what is. I’ll tell you what, the next time someone breaks into your car, it’s your own fault for leaving it alone.

 

Ummm, you're wrong. This is the statement I was asked to provide proof for:

"The police reaction is probably based largely on all the reports of violent activity within the Flea Party communities- the drugs, the stabbings, the thefts, the rapes, etc."​

And I think the link I posted backed it up......now please try to keep up.

 

Well, then define, "violent activity within the Flea Party communities".

 

Umm, sexual assault? You know, the subject of the link? Maybe it's commonplace in your oddly peculiar world but for most of us it is not.

 

No crime was reported. So the claim that the police were responding to "a" crime by attacking a bunch of innocent people is rubbish. Thank you for conceding that point.

Next: What?!? Proactive and pre-emptive police attacks?? THAT's what you want?? So the police should break down my door and beat me senseless because my neighbor violates the law? You're joking.

 

Comments like that are what give the "nutty left" their nickname.

 

"Thank you for conceding that point?" Really? How childish.
My point has been (& remains) that when the police are called in they should be prepared for anything, especially when facing a mob situation where violence has been reported. I don't see how anyone would have a problem with the police in this situation unless they support anarchy.

 

But it was the protester that was assaulted NOT doing the assaulting, so if any course of action is merited by the police, it should be to protect the protesters not be vigilant of possible crime FROM the protesters. Your point is literally idiocy start to finish.

 

Thinking maybe the offender was a fellow protestor? You are either clueless or willing to defend these radicals til the end, even when they are commiting violent sexual acts. Which is it?

 

And for this, you have proof? I didn't think so, so your point remains just as inane as I thought it was.

 

If my post was inane for assuming the predator was a Fleabagger, yours was similarly inane for assuming he was not (the story didn't say one way or the other). My assumption was based on the fact the victim wanted to handle it "internally" which implies she knew the predator- how could it handled "internally" otherwise? Your assumption was based on what, exactly?

 

Since I'm so late in the discussion, I'd just like to ask why, when a story is about (perceived) liberals being assaulted by the police, and someone makes a comment about how bad that is... why do the righties here say things like "How can you say that for certain?" and "We don't know all the facts!"... yet then do the same thing in other threads themselves...

...ok, it's more like an observation, and I understand it completely.

 

...I think it's the "assualt" that is perceived....

 

True, the police are doing their job. But like all servants of the government (despite the idea their motto is to "protect and serve the public", "the public" inevitably means the government) they follow orders, as they should. My argument therefore is that the government is doing the assaulting, but they themselves are servants to the corporations... again, despite the idea that the government serves the people they actually serve those with the most influence over them, the ones holding their leash.

 

Was this the intent of OWS:

Actually, yes it was. They want to break the entrepreneurs. It sounds like they have begun for this one.

 

Well at least then we'd have order <sarc>

 

Order is so over-rated. I prefer a little chaos in my life... to keep it interesting...

 

I agree, although a little less than I have now would still be plenty.

 

What's chaotic in your life, Takiji...? You don't have to give details, just generally speaking...
