My buddy Jaime got the video footage of the dumbest kids on the planet getting arrested for what amounts to vanity. You can see the morons being carted away HERE.
What does going to jail do for these people? It's a financial burden and a time burden they could have avoided. Instead - they've got a story to tell to their friends. They even had someone around to document it with video so they could play their roles as martyrs over and over again. Unfortunately for them, most of the world and probably most of their family and friends are just embarrassed at how stupid they turned out to be.
And we don't have to get into their idiotic rantings about "constitutional rights," because no law professor of any merit in the entire country has taken up for them in any city. It's understood that camping isn't a statement of protest or free speech - it's camping. The little waterheads forget that the legal fights over "occupying" public and private space all took place in the 1960s. So unaware of the world around them, they assume they're the first to ever do what they are doing.
They cry for freedom, but engage in a bizarre behavior control ritual they call "mic check." Hitler called it something different, but it was the same thing used for the same purpose - strict adherence to rules and orders - even those that you might not agree with. They fail to see that by playing their "mic check" game that they inherently give up the most important weapon in protecting their personal liberty - their voice. Mindlessly repeating the garbage that comes out of someone else's mouth is the antithesis of freedom! Blindly following others lead to the death of six million Jews - why would these people participate in the same kind of mind control activities? Have we not learned from the atrocious mistakes of the past?
Sadly, uneducated people like the "occupiers" you see here really believe the things they say. I don't know if our education system failed them or they just took the failure handed to them and ran further with it into the swamp of stupidity. I do know that there are 700,000 people in El Paso County - approximately six are dumb enough to get themselves arrested so they can wear it as a badge of honor. They can one day tell their children "I was arrested because I did not understand the constitution." How great is that going to be? I'm sure it won't be. Just like every hippy from the 60s who tells me about the time they were arrested for "occupying" a college building - they think it's awesome and they're always alone in that sentiment.
Pathetic.
And whoever is telling them that they are "proud" of them in the background should be singled out for instigating their moronic display of "civil disobedience." There's always some idiot cheering on acts of stupidity, whether they be drunken stunts or the savage beating of someone over the color of their skin or sexual preference. They're always there - the instigators... Always too spineless to participate or stop it, but always there to egg everybody on. You might know them by their formal title - Piece of Shit Human Beings.
Do notice that Jaime's earlier video showed a whole lot more people in the park. For all the big talking they did, 99 percent of them had gone home and let these kids do the heavy lifting when it came to the "legitimizing" of the movement. A movement nobody seems to know anything about because it is at the same time "about everything" while actually being about nothing.
A long time ago I wrote about the left being so naturally lacking intellect, ingenuity and work ethic that they always fail at pulling off meaningful protests. I cited how 10,000 anti-war protesters couldn't shut down DC, but one conservative tobacco farmer in a John Deere tractor paralyzed the city for a week. And he wasn't even parked on a city street!
I don't mind if the left protests. It's just an expression of their mentality - the mentality of a child. Watch how a toddler acts and then watch the "occupiers" - you notice a tremendous amount of similarities, don't you?
Actually MLK, CC etc said they became better Activists after 1st jailing...in other words it can be rather 'freeing' to be jailed for a cause you believe in...the mic speak is actually what democracy looks like...its ment to give voice to all in the leaderless movement...late news this morning David may have missed is aclu-nlg got a court order to reopen nyc park...I don't Know what esquires david knows but some government attys say the aclu can kick butt in court re constitutional rights...the courts are better than standing on a corner with a protest sign or sleeping in a tent but its all part of the movement.

latest update on NYC Park and OWS. The original Judge apparently had a huge bias against the city. It's now in another's judge's court right now and NYC is waiting his opinion.

I didn't see Charlie Bailey's name in today's paper listing those arrested. Did he bail on the occupiers? In Jaime Abeytia's earlkier video, Bailey sez he is gonna stay and get arrested, fight it in court, and win on constitutional grounds. Just wondering where he went.........

I think Chris went for a latte and only returned after the cops had gone for the day. I am certain he is disappointed.
(Joking Chris)

Being a former "radio personality", Charlie (Chris) learned it's safer to "talk the talk"' rather than "walk the walk".......hehe.....walk outta there before the cops get there

Lacking in intellect is "provocative" coming from someone who can't control his prepositions... but that aside, how would shutting down a city prove superior intellect? It seems that the eventual outcome of that war folly called Iraq served to prove the intellect of those protestors to be superior to that of the men-- and one woman-- occupying the halls of government up there in DC. It did so without affecting the economy and daily lives of DC dwellers. What's really even more bad is that the lack of intellect up there in DC (as Sarah Palin would say) came at the cost of billions and billions of $$$$ and 1000s and 1000s of lives lost. But, no sense in dredging up the past, right? Oh, but I do agree fully with you that it was just rich to see all those committed supportive freedom fighters stand on the side in their warm outfits, camera in hand, or posting well done messages on FB in the comfort of their homes celebrating the "courage" of 18YOs who now have an arrest record. Nothing like having hermanos por la cuasa stand right behind you-- literally.

moi toi,
Please help me with my prepositions! You're looking at the only editor and one with little time on his hands and very little talent for writing at all., All help is welcome. Let me know where I messed up and I will fix it.
A little note for you - put what you think Sarah Palin would say in quotations so that it doesn't appear that the entire sentence is in your voice. I want to think you are attributing the use of "more bad" to her. However, because you didn't indicate the shifting of voice through quotations, I can only think that you don't know of the word "worse."
I must say your anti-war rant seems to be the exact problem with the movement - you're throwing the war out there, someone else is throwing the war on drugs out there and there's the war on poverty and the war on obesity and the war on the middle class.
Believe me - those protesters know very little of the war in Iraq, most of them could not pick out that country on a map and they believed there was no vote by the house to go to war. I'd like to believe you are right, but unfortunately you are wrong. Well, at least with your reference to the protesters and the war.
You're mad about the war - I get it. It's over. Your president with your ideals is not only extending our presence in Afghanistan, but starting new troop deployments to three countries in Africa. And he's doing it to protect oil imports. You seem to have a problem with the past, but no concern with the present. I must take your anger and put it in the "I just hate conservatives" basket where it belongs. You're not a "free thinker," you're just angry.
Please send those edits soon!
