OWS ‘May’ get ugly out there
NYPost ^ | May 1, 2012 | LARRY CELONA, SALLY GOLDENBERG and LEONARD GREENE

New York is braced for May Day mayhem.

Workers are staring at hellacious commutes today when the flagging Occupy Wall Street movement hopes to get a second wind with a full slate of “general strike" protests across the five boroughs.

That could not only make it difficult for people to get to their jobs, but it also could put angry demonstrators on a collision course with beefed-up police.

From Bryant Park to Bushwick, demonstrators will protest everything from economic injustice to school privatization in a series of planned and also potentially arrest-inducing unpermitted rallies, marches and walkouts.

If the Williamsburg Bridge-to-Wall Street march doesn’t bog down traffic, the group’s so-called “Bike Bloc” in Union Square will.

Workers who ignore the general-strike call will find it hard to get to their jobs.

It’s touted as a “day without the 99 percent” — seemingly disregarding the fact that most of the 99 percent actually works.

The activities are the biggest test of the movement’s organizing muscle since the winter.

Occupy groups in New York, Los Angeles, the San Francisco Bay area, Chicago and more than 100 other cities will join with immigrant groups and labor unions.

This type of event is the only reason to own a TV IMHO.

And beyond a few hard-core communists and union activists, very few of the “Occupy” folks have any idea what they’re trying to accomplish.

That's true with all of the various movements the Commie Left begins and leads. Most of the participants are "Useful Idiots". Meanwhile, the leadership and goals are purely communist.

These poor people don't have a job, don't want a job as long as they are on the dole. Back in 1946 I was told that there were no jobs to be had, but the next week I found a job, and have been working for a living ever since. And what is worse all of my friends did the same thing. What is different now?

“Why can’t anyone spell it out! The “Occupy” movement is a Communist movement! Even Hannity and Limbaugh don’t come right out and say it.”

You know the answer already, as well as I do.

BEcause the mainstream media would call them “NUTZ!”, and say “HE’S CRAZY!!!”. Look what happened to Beck when he spoke inconvenient truth on the Magic Sqwauking Box.

They couldn’t destroy him, so they marginalized him, and went after Rupert and Co. Soros won.

You only have to make a few examples of people, to get the point across.

I have to give the NYPD credit they aren’t taking any crap from those idiots. You break the law you go to Jail that’s what we’re about.

Oboma supporters on the public dole. They're trying to increase their numbers by convincing other people not to work, too.
("Hope. Change - Sign up for your welfare checks and food stamps here.")

This is more like a social loser parade. Everyone gets to come out and see the freeloaders doing what they do best - nothing.

All you need to do is shove the FACTS down their throats! We are going to lose this war for sure if we are too wussy to properly inform the folks.

Exactly and it has to start with the unemployment stats. True unemployment is around 12% not what the DBM is parroting. Unless you want to cut everyone unemployed than its around 16%.

I'm 66, started working part time at 13 full time at 16.Recently, I cut back to 60 hours per week.

A couple of radio talk hosts out in San Fran, Armstrong and Getty have the answer for the OWS crowd. Wood shampoo administered by the authority. They refer to a clubbing by nightsticks as a “wood shampoo”. Repeat as necessary.

The professional agitators do the violence; those you cited are just the useful idiots, and yes, we are doomed if we stumble along on PC allowing this street vermin to build riot and mayhem as the foundation for little barry bastard commie to hint we will be odingaed if we don’t allow him another four years.

These unwashed, smelly, feral animals don’t realize they are being used as cannon fodder.

Good!

I think that schmuck was concerned about who was shooting the vid. He has a look of suspicion on his face.
