'I'm getting arrested'(Android)app created for 'Occupy' protesters("Free to the other 99%")
Q13 FOX News Seattle ^ | October 17, 2011

Posted on 10/17/2011 8:10:18 PM PDT by greatdefender

SEATTLE—A new smartphone app bills itself as a useful tool for the hundreds of boisterous Occupy Seattle protesters at Westlake Park and other locations throughout the world.

The “I’m Getting Arrested” app, created by Quadrant 2, provides a one-click button on your phone that you can press when you know arrest is imminent.

Once you hit the big red bull’s-eye, a prewritten text message will be sent to your mom, your lawyer or any other contact you might want to help you out.

The app can also be used to quickly send any other message to a group of people.

The app has a 4.5 star rating and is “free to the other 99 percent,” Quadrant 2 said in its Android Market app description.

True that. Especially when they are against “greedy corporate” and yet they use their products. Just bunch of empty headed idiots who will never learn anything in life except “ITS ALL ABOUT ME AND ONLY ME!”

Autodial #1 on all of my phones is always my lawyer. But that was mainly for divorces.

It would be cool if someone would come up with an app that automatically replies only to the I’m getting arrested app. Have it say something like, “Went out to get a pack of smokes. Be back in about a week!”

Yeah, like they’re going to have time to make a call or even access an app while being arrested.

These people are truly idiots.

These “protesters” really do represent the downtrodden of the world...not.
