Provocation and pitting the police against the ‘people’.
A way to measure public reaction.
good it is time for other mayors to do the same.
Our tax money goes to these parks, the police overtime and for these idiots to think they can just ditch tenets and live there is pathetic and just shows how stupid these loons are.
Mumbles didn’t move on the mothership. FWIW, I think this was just a PR stunt to make him look good to 57%ers.
“It’s 1 a.m, and we’re still here.”
“It’s 2 a.m, and we’re not.”
Not surprised. This could be a preview of how the other cities will end, with the protesters being told to LEAVE by the cities that the protests take place OR the winter weather WILL force a leave.
.....53%ers....AKA the folks who work to pay for the folks on the dole.
So much for determined and resistive “protesters”. Toughen up and resist, you wimps.
IF they had just continued destroying property in downtown,
breaking windows, defiling commercial buildings,
then it would have been OK with Obama, the eloquent mayor,
and the DNC.
BUT THEY went against the Rose Kennedy Greenway
garden memorial. And THAT was too much
Gonna start to get interesting....
Arresting them for being in the park after hours is a good thing. Tossing their personal belongings seems like an illegal seizure. Unlawfull assembly charges are what tyrants use to quell opposition.
I am copying that turn of phrase in my notebook. That is an instant classic euphemism, could be equally applied to any group engaged in "unlawful assembly," aka occupation.
"Meet Obergruppensturmfuher Schmidt. He is in charge of Site Eradication."
(The people we merely arrest. Or eject. Or deport. Or relocate. Or anything else.)
I'm glad to see these occupy creeps get there comeuppance, but this face of the Militarized Riot Police is not comforting.
Got to remember that, ANYTHING that honors the Kennedy family, any any way, ranks very high among the folks in Boston.
The quoted comments from the two protesters made me laugh out loud. Literally.
But was there not violence coming from the OWS group up in Boston that brought out the police?
Things are going to get ugly very soon.
This is exactly how it needs to be handled. I’m glad Boston has the cajones to remove them.
If this was a reaction to violence then that should be what was charged.
Cut to well-bundled infobabe, standup with mike, frosty breath, rosy cheeks. "We marvel as these wintertime patriots struggle to stay warm, always keeping watch over the Evil Barons of Wall Street, even through these frigid temperatures and icy rain. No matter what your political beliefs, by now they are true heroes in all of our hearts. Back to you Dan."
That is how the MSM is going to portray the Occupiers, where they stay relatively polite and in-bounds of their permitted spaces.
Checking public reaction.....
Public reaction is A-Ok with this!
