[QUOTE=S31-Syntax;34457475]These protests are [I]still[/I] going on?[/QUOTE]
Well yes, generally when things don't change, protests continue. Did you expect them to just sputter out, or what?

No I just didn't hear much about them for a while, and then suddenly city hall gets ransacked.
[QUOTE=TommyWiseau1;34457540]no its good. i hope they pissed and shat on the furniture :3[/QUOTE]
Because the occupy movement is totally about acting like monkeys ?
[QUOTE=ScottyTripod;34457479]It doesn't matter if its 100 people or 10, if the occupy movement lets them stay with them then everyone will get painted the same, its sad that's what happens but its true. They need to kick them out and not associate with them or they will all be seen as flag burners or glass throwers. They could even kindly talk to the police and point out who is doing it, i have seen it work before in protests, they just have to want to do it.[/QUOTE]
They do that. When some protesters broke windows in the harbor, the main movement spearheaded a clean-up operation the next day.

That's good to hear, they need to do something to try to fix this latest issue.

Just because it's not big news, doesn't mean it isn't going on.
[QUOTE=SexualShark;34453463]Ok, thats it. Send in the National Guard. Fuck the Occupy movement. Shit has gone too far.[/QUOTE]
Yes, send in a force meant to fight off a foreign invasion to kill off Americans demanding rights and causing minor property damage.

[QUOTE=SexualShark;34453574]Oh yes, like i said the word or implied to say "kill".[/QUOTE]
What do you think the National Guard can do the cops can't other than slaughter them, those tanks, planes, helicopters and assault rifles are not meant for police work.
i was listening to this happen live on the radio on the way to supercross

I think you need to look into what the job of a National Guardsmen entails, while state and national defense is one, often they are deployed for a large variety of things, like responding to domestic emergencies. This may include community efforts such as responding to wildfires, floods, earthquakes, oil spills, or even reconstruction efforts. Please don’t overlook a large part of their job, that’s not fair to them.
[QUOTE=Phycosymo;34453822]Well of course they are going to fucking do something like this if the police have [I]constantly[/I] attacked them for protesting. If they are not going to let them do something peaceful then yeah shit's going to get violent.[/QUOTE]
Well maybe the police wouldn't need to constantly attack them if they weren't always under constant attack. These fuckers are throwing lead pipes, rocks and other shit at them. Along with tearing up the insides of buildings in the name of who knows what anymore. They [B][I]were[/I][/B] a peaceful protest, now they are an angry mob.
Fuckers obviously have never taken a US History class. The moment violence outbreaks is the moment you've failed the protest. Thanks for shitting on the Occupy movement's image.
[QUOTE=CodeMonkey3;34453598]"OH no it'll be kent state again!! think of the protestors!!"
The National Guard have been sent in to disperse violent riots without injury or death to people, the military aren't baby killing savages with itchy trigger fingers. Half the time the fact the National Guard is there stops the problem all together.[/QUOTE]
So rather than address the root of why people are protesting you'd rather throw the military at them so they go away?
[QUOTE=Zeke129;34457564]the furniture is innocent[/QUOTE]
no, the furniture is complicit in the systemic violence of capitalism
do you think that furniture of the proletariat is maintained like this furniture?
no, this furniture must be purged to pave the way for a glorious utopia of Soviets

Yeah, I agree.
What is that curious flag you have? Are you from Canada or the American Colonies?
