You play stupid games you win stupid prizes. The Occupy whatever crowd thinks this nation is a police state. What a joke they have been a public nuisance for a couple of weeks using it as an open sewer & when told to leave by the duly elected & appointed civil authorities they refused .
So the cops deployed CS gas & flashbangs big deal CS sucks but is for the most part non toxic now if the cops were using some of the tear gases from WWI those were in fact poisonous & frags then they would have a reason to bitch so as far as I am concerned they got no cause to gripe.

I fail to see what they are upset about. The average American today lives better than the King and Queen of England did 150 years ago.

I hope we are not glad, however, that the stampede this provoked left a person badly injured in the street.

My brother was in Ft. Leonard Wood in 1958, but you were gone by then. He went on to SHAPE in Paris.

They are trying to get their “Kent State” moment. So far, it hasn’t happened yet.
On a side note: I went through the gas chamber at Camp Lejeune 6 times in one year prior to deployment for Gulf War 1. CS is nasty stuff, but you can build up somewhat of a resistance to it after repeated exposure. By the 6th time, I could almost almost sing the entire Marine’s Hymn without my gas mask. I still would have preferred to be somewhere else though.

All we are saying is give CS a chance.

I spent two years in Germany, I really liked the country and people.
Went on leaves to France, Belgium, Italy and England, but none compared to Germany, was like going home again.

No such things as bleeding profusely, either someone is bleeding, or theyre not. Have to respectfully disagree with you on that point. It's not like only being a little pregnant. Get a scratch, bleed a little, cut a vein, bleed more, cut an artery, bleed profusely.

Actually, there is a difference. Bleeding profusely is descriptive of larger amounts of blood as opposed to smaller amounts.
Someone can be bleeding from the nose, and someone bleeding profusely from the nose conveys a very different situation.

The tear gas grenades going off plus the coughing and barfing by the potty-mouthed protestor near the end of the video was music to my ears.....like the War of 1812 Overture....BOOM, BOOM, BOOM! HURRAH!

To people unused to the sight of blood, seeing someone bleed “profusely” is unnerving. In that situation, you often hear comments like “I just couldn’t believe how much blood there was...”
It is like the difference between a “drip, drip, drip” nosebleed and a deep arterial laceration. Most people who have never seen a deep arterial laceration are stunned.

If someone was badly injured, no, I would think not. But dazed, cringing, crying and barfing with a few abrasions and minor lacerations, that would be fine to me.
Actions have consequences, and as Bill Whittle alludes to in his excellent video opinion piece Three and a half Days..., these "precious snowflakes are learning lessons like that...

As long as you can find a reason to mock the fellow sinner?
I wouldn’t be surprised to see police sued for initiating a stampede.

One of their problems is that back in the sixties they had few sources of info so the media could make the crowds look huge and threatening. Today everyone has cameras and video and we can all see how pathetic and weak the crown really is.

That just warms my soul. It’s about time the authorities take back the streets from this scourge.

The minimal arrest, revolving door policies of most of the police forces faced with the OWS crowd allows them to just reform and come right back for more trouble. If the only penalty is a brief trip downtown and a minor fine probably paid by some leftist pressure group, this becomes recreational rioting. The rioters should be arrested on a mass basis and spend a week in jail IMO, that will slow them down. Oh well.
