NORMAN, Okla. — Members of Occupy Norman marched quietly along a sidewalk in downtown Norman on Wednesday, despite being threatened and having a tent vandalized earlier in the day.

Peyton Gates said an irate man yelled at Occupy protesters currently camping at Andrews Park.

“He threw the hammer at us,” she said. “He also said, ‘I’ll do a lot worse than that.”

While Gates and other Occupy Norman members did not see the man vandalize the tent, they said he made statements of admission to them and threatened them.

“Are you ready to die for your liberalism” was a statement that stuck in all of their minds, according to protesters

The incident was reported to the police, along with a description of the man and the tag number of his truck, Gates said.

Sounds like one of those pre-cooked “noose hanging at my front door” stories that end up with the perpetrator being the noose-hanger. Yet, the msm fall for it every single time, giving “victims” free publicity.
