That it is. How about we punish success, reward envy, and outlaw freedom. Foos, all of them!

Prepare for violence. We remember this crowd.
The year was 1999 and the anarchists descended on Seattle to stop a meeting of the World Trade Organization (WTO). We lived there at the time.
Floyd was working as a host at Hot Talk 570 KVI, located in downtown near the “peaceful protests” of the meeting of WTO ministers. Seattle was excited because it was an opportunity to show the new high tech Seattle of the 1990’s that replaced the industrial Seattle of the 1970’s. The City was on the world’s stage.
Early pictures of the protests reminded us of what you see currently camped in Manhattan's Zuccotti Park. And as in the fall of 1999, the media is there to catalogue the strange beliefs of those involved.
The Seattle protests were called a peaceful group of human rights leaders, students, environmental groups, religious leaders, labor rights activists’ etc., wanting fairer trade with less exploitation. Sounds like the group down on Wall Street.
Liberal political leaders of the late 90’s were giving encouragement to the protesters in a fashion similar to the current leaders Nancy Pelosi, Al Gore and Barack Obama are carrying water for the current park based protesters.
But there is a darker side to these crowds as there was to the Seattle crowds in 1999, and that is why we are predicting violence to break out soon if it hasn’t when you read this. The Seattle protests started peacefully, but they ended in a hail of tear gas and rubber bullets. The KVI office windows were smashed in, and the steel and glass structures that defined the high tech city were laying shattered for blocks.
The protesters laid waste to blocks of glass windows, and some looted stores for extra “capitalist goods.”
Over 600 protesters were arrested and the battle in the court rooms lasted for years as protesters made allegations of police brutality against the thin blue line that was attempting to protect the property of the “capitalist pigs,” as the protesters called them. Norm Stamper, the police chief of Seattle during the 1999 WTO protests, resigned soon afterward. He was singled out and scapegoated for the police response. But what are police to do when a peaceful protest morphs into a riot?
Zuccotti Park is privately owned. The owners have leafleted the squatters and asked them to remove the illegal tarps and other structures that have been erected as part of the protests. Urine, feces and other bodily fluids are now making the park an unsanitary mess. These owners have a right to ask police to clear their private land of illegal squatters.
We believe in peaceful protests, and Floyd was arrested in 1983 protesting communism in front of the Soviet Embassy in Washington DC. But squatting on private land is not speech and protesting. It is an illegal act and if it is ignored it will embolden the protesters to break more serious laws. It is time to send these young socialists home to mom and dad before they start smashing windows and starting fires as they did in Seattle in 1999.
If no one would report on them they would give up and go home
Exactly what I’ve been saying about this!
Heard a lot of the OWS crowd are foreigners from Canada/Europe/Asia.
That it is. How about we punish success, reward envy, and outlaw freedom. Foos, all of them!
I want to know where the right wing talkers are? Shouldn’t they be loudly reminding America that there are some 300 million of us who aren’t throwing a street tantrum.
Its important to make it clear for when violence does flare up, that flyover country isn’t part of the problem and we should not be punished for the actions of a few urban marxists.
I think the police should just pull back and let them destroy ‘til their hearts content. Let them smash and loot and destroy until everyone everywhere sees who and what they are and begs for the cops to come and restore order.
Their ‘brother protesters’ in Italy started rioting and burning cars today. It will start here soon too...get ready.
Great plan, who gets to pay for the damage? The loonies don't have a pot to pee in and we have abolished debtor's prison (more's the pity)...

No, then all dissent will be banned including Tea Parties. This is what the regime wants.
As long as noone outside of their group gets hurt why not let the freak show that is the fruit of pure liberal/progressivism be a broken becon to the world. A stinky example on a hill ( or in this case a park) that could be the US if these idiots had their way.
A glimps into what may be. A guided tour by the ghost Christmas future.
God bless us everyone.
A few volleys of grape shot and you’ll be surprised how fast things will get back to normal.
Prepare for no violence. Reports are calling for 1st lake effect snow on October 23. That means New York cold is on its way to NYC not too longer afterwards.
Allow no tents and heaters.
It will get old.
The same with David Koresh and Branch Davidian. They didn’t need to storm his building. They left shopping regularly. He could have been arrested then.
Let the winter do its own cold work.
Nice graphic. Good One!
The Occupy Marxists and Anarchists are not as numerous as they want Americans to believe. They remind me of a funny story about a group of trucks from the same company going round and round a traffic circle in the center of town before continuing on their way. Asked why they did this, a driver grinned and said they wanted people to think that their company was a big, important outfit, with lots of trucks!
While quiet, working Americans watch and wait, the Occupy idiots are demonstrating in the middle of our cities, but we’re not impressed. It’s just the same old ignorance, jealously, and filth recycled from the sixties.
These college kids are probably graded on how mush they can stir the crap.
Socialism is being taught at our colleges.
“I think the police should just pull back and let them destroy ‘til their hearts content. Let them smash and loot and destroy until everyone everywhere sees who and what they are and begs for the cops to come and restore order.”
These “young” people, (spoiled brats) are being used by the Obamaites and Commiecrats, hoping that they’ll provoke the police enough that some of them will be shot, like Kent State.
Many thanks!
1) It highlights the difference between peaceful Tea Party crowds and socialist crowds.
2) It brings to an early peak all the fear about riots, that has been percolating. Let them totally get it out of their system now so Obama can't use these useful idiots next year right before election.
