Too bad there isn't an airlock to send them out of.
I'D LOVE TO DISCUSS THIS FURTHER.
At least on FR you don't have to smell the OWS zombies.
Support FR today.

Typical liberal tactics taken straight from the Palestinians. Use the elderly, pregnant women and children as human shields so you can get a good photo op when one of them gets hurt.

No, the guy crapping on the cop car is the iconic image of the movement. Literally.

If it was pepper spray, then how are her eyes wide open? Pepper spray causes an involuntary closing of the eyes and the effects last for a very long time.

She chose to be there and take her chances. So did the pregnant woman.

Anyway, I think people will remember the guy pooping on the police car far longer than this one, no matter how much the media would love otherwise.

I think the giant pile of trash in New York should be the lasting image of OWS.

Where’s the image of the elderly woman pushed down the stairs after the Reagan dinner a week or so ago in NYC? That’s the iconic image of OWS (Obama’s Worthless Sycophants) to me

A woman who gave her name as Jennifer and said she was two months pregnant is rushed to an ambulance after being hit with pepper spray at an Occupy Seattle protest on Tuesday, November 15, 2011 at Westlake Park. Protesters gathered in the intersection of 5th Avenue and Pine Street after marching from their camp at Seattle Central Community College in support of Occupy Wall Street. Many refused to move from the intersection after being ordered by police. Police then began spraying into the gathered crowd hitting dozens of people. An 84 year-old activist was also hit with spray.

Their rights end where others begin, no matter how old you are.

The picture looks like the chick was in the middle of an OWS Bukkake party (And no, they were not serving Japanese noodles).

I do not care.
You protest, you accept the consequences of that protest.

Let's not forget (and remind people often) who runs Seattle. How about the other cities that are going after the begging commies?

The very government, down to the party and members, that these dopes want to run everyone's lives ARE the very same that ARE driving them out.

Not that I disagree but the irony (reality) should be known and clear to all.

This is 100% bullsh!t propaganda.

I live on Wall Street in Belltown, Seattle. I saw this mob shortly before the picture was taken....they were running around yelling, beating drums, marching outside of their permit and paralyzing rush-hour traffic.

As I watched from my apartment, I thought about going down and video taping the mob but, I was frankly too scared: they were THAT unruly.

The police let it go on way too long and this lady got exactly what she deserved for being a part of the group.
