We’ve all seen the video: The Man (in the form of local police) pepper spraying a long line of apparently peaceful “Occupy” protesters on the campus of University of California-Davis. Of course, you can always count on the usual suspects (in this case, Joy Behar and her Weird Sisters of The View) to leap to a grossly overstated moral equivalence:
“A lot of people watching are too young to remember Kent State in this country, where the police shot a couple of students,” observed Behar. “It’s outrageous, this type of behavior cannot be tolerated by the police!”
Right. Useful-idiot college kids who, in practicing their juvenile brand of civil disobedience, were warned they would be sprayed, consented to it, and then were shocked –shocked! — when it actually happened. But that was okay, because all of the news outlets picked up the video and made the kids look completely awesome!
With that in mind, I dedicate the following lyrics to Joy Behar (with absolutely no apology to Neil Young):
A Kent state moment is when someone actually gets KILLED by police. They’re running with this because it’s all they got.
And that fact alone is important, and a good example of why they are not winning “hearts and minds” of anyone.
Paging Joy Behar and her Weird Sisters of The View.....that would be the National Guard not police. That being said...never let the facts get in the way of your agenda!!
And then there’s Maude (Behar). Idiot-femi-nazi-in-chief and her fellow travelers.
The quote taken out of context makes sense. It's true that the type of behavior coming from the OWS bums should not be tolerated by the police. The peaceful ones should at LEAST have to wash police cars as a community service for the next couple of years. The violent and the threatening ones need hard jail time.
No one was killed by the police at Kent State.
I thought there was at least one death.
“Tin soldiers and Nixon’s coming....”

Shut your historically vacuous, ignorant Canadian mouth, Neil.
An American man don’t need your around, anyhow.
In the coming months,When a bunch of “Occupy Joy Baher’s home” freaks barricade themselves against her ritzy house in protest of Joy’s 7 figure salary, I’ll bet she won’t mind one bit if the police use pepper spray to disperse the crowd.
Iwas going to say there were 4 Kent State deaths when I reread your answer. You’re correct....the deaths were not by the hand of the police but the National Guard
Also, my kids were always harassed by the campus cops for being unruly when protesting against the screaming progressives. I think they even hauled one of them away in handcuffs once.
For a change, the police actually did the right thing and the campus and town can't handle it! LOLOLOL
There were four deaths that day at Kent State......NONE were at the hands of the police.
It’s convenient when the news media clips the tape to omit the protesters agitating the cops and ignoring their orders to disperse.
pepper spraying 1 protesters 0
