  2. “Yes they were pelting the police with rocks, BUT…..”
    Laughing Out Loud!
    On another note, I am so very much wanting to understand why all of these activists also collectively seem to want bigger government wielding more ever power and control over them? How crazy can they really be, how deep down a rabbit hole goes crazy…. alex?

  5. Wonder what “goldy locks” would have said if riot police returned like wise bottles and rocks!

  6. Amazing, we’re all in agreement that the police should not have used rubber bullets. This is a significant first step in solving this OWS problem and the only minor problem to still be dealt with is FMJ or hydroshock?

  7. Chemical weapons… make me cry!!! Not like those poor fools whose skin melts and choke and gag until their lungs disintegrate into a bloody mush… or just keel and die at the first whiff.

  8. I used to laugh and find these vapid dimwits amusing.. but after these last couple weeks, now that there’s so many examples, it’s getting just plain sad.

  9. Any action taken by the police would be over reaction to these protesters. They take no responsibility for their own provoking behaviour. In their thinking they can do anything without conquests. Reminds of a bunch of spoiled rich kids who have never leaned to take responsibility for their own actions.

  11. Chemical weapons. Love it!
    Sarnia Jim: I had the same observation. To her credit though, justifying initiating violence against lawful authority IS HARD!

  12. **Her body language reminds me of that of a child caught in a lie by a parent.**
    Lawrence O’Donnell wish she lied when he asked her if they first threw bottles and stones. He SOO didn’t want to hear that answer.

  15. ok4ua – if they are just “kids” maybe there should just be a curfew and they should just go home and quit causing trouble. No??

  18. I think they banned chemical weapons after WWI…
    Nope there was no mustard or chlorine gas in this interview.
    Hans Rupprecht, Commander in Chief
    1st Saint Nicolaas Army
    Army Group “True North”

  19. Chemical Weapons…..hmmm….another ratcheting up of rhetoric.
    Disproportionate response…….another familiar rhetorical device.
    HAts off to them, they ave been taught well. They count on the good nature of people to take them seriously. At some point you just have to write them off, that is the only appropriate rhetorical response to get them to ground their language back in reality again.
    Very clever, she didnt think that up herself, this wording gets decided on deeper in and then the talking points/meme/narrative are fed out.
    You will see these temes used in other places again and again.

  20. I agree the police should not have used RUBBER bullets

    …………………………………
    Rubber bullets should ONLY be used when rioters are throwing rubber rocks and rubber bottles.
    Otherwise, otherwise.

  21. That’s not fair! and that’s not right! That’s a disproportionate response. Tear gas is a CHEMICAL WEAPON! The police need to be issued rocks and bottles.

  22. Bob in your world we’d have internment camps for these brats.

    Yup…on the north end of Baffin Island.

  24. ok4ua is, as usual, spouting garbage. I’d love to be able to sentence this ignoramus—and most of our judges—to a full day, no time off, in a class full of these barbarian “toddlers”. Within a very few MINUTES (with hours to go) of being, by turns, ignored, baited, provoked, talked back to, threatened, lied to, etc. . . . these bleeding hearts would be bleeding for themselves, not the “poor, little blighters”.
    The phenomenon of these altogether self-referential/centred, rude, irresponsible, and violence-prone kids isn’t only sad, it’s a serious menace to the peace, good order, and prosperity of the societies on which these parasites feed. They’re dangerous!

    In my world, ok4ua, we wouldn’t need internment camps…

    There is a reason they remind you of a “bunch of spoiled rich kids who have never leaned to take responsibility for their own actions.”
    That’s what they are.

  31. “In my world, ok4ua, we wouldn’t need internment camps…”
    Skip
    Agreed…One of my solutions would be 2 years in military service after High School -IF- you want to pursue higher education afterwards…If you drop out or don’t finish High School; then it’s mandatory 2 years in military service anyway.
    For me, a high School education should be sufficient for most entry to middle level jobs. These kids rot in Academia far too long and they seem to come out of it dumber and dumber every year…The education system requires a complete review and overall from the ground up and the era of degrees and diplomas for everything and anything is yet another sign of too much Government financed education system who have been their own make work project.
    All that wasted tax money should be redirected towards employers who need to train new employees for their specific needs.
    Before some bleeding heart comes back to tell me that I am actually inviting more Government intervention, that’s exactly what these spoiled brats seem to want: More nanny government.
    Although, that’s not what they have in mind, I’m sure.

  32. Trust me, the military doesn’t want them. I served with the last of the draftees. Most of them did their jobs, but five percent of them were seventy five percent of all disciplinary problems.
    Shoot and shovel, they’re not worth the trouble.

  33. Terry Tory:
    You’re half right. The educational system does need to be revamped, but not in the way you suggest. The community colleges – which, here in Ontario at least, have embarked on a massive advertising campaign letting kids know that they can attend the colleges instead of university, and learn a trade – will provide the vocational training.
    But the value of a university education is (or perhaps these days, should be) that it teaches children how to think critically, how to think logically, and how to learn and process new ideas. Unfortunately, it has degenerated – at least in the liberal arts sphere – into a massive brain-washing campaign by Marxist/feminist/statist professors who have no interest in critical or original thought, but who only wish to have their own tripe parroted back to them.
    The problem with a great deal of vocational training is, as software gets smarter, sensors more sensitive, and robots more deft, many jobs will simply be lost to silicon and metal. Yes, we’ll always need plumbers, electricians, and carpenters, but not all of us are cut out for those jobs. (My brother, who is an expert carpenter, always collapses in giggles when he sees my futile attempts at wood-working projects. Measure twice, cut once? Not for me – it’s more like measure six times, cut three, and the damn thing still doesn’t fit together.)
    And if we don’t want to end up in a “race to the bottom” with China and India, we need to capitalize on our better infrastructure, higher technology, and freer society to produce people who, like the late Steve Jobs, create new ideas. And that requires a completely different mind set in our education industry. Today, educators want docile little automatons (ever wonder why the incidence of ADD has risen so dramatically in the last few years?) who sit quietly, do as they’re told, and never ask a single challenging question. This may have been perfect when we turning out high school grads who were going to work on assembly lines, but most of those jobs are long gone, to either automation or overseas.
    I’ve said it here before: brains are the greatest need if we are to maintain our standard of living, and our educational system seems designed to pulverize them at every opportunity. The sad little munchkins of the OWS movement are the most eloquent evidence of that. These kids are unable to think logically, to foresee the all too predictable outcomes of their fairy-tale ideas (namely, poverty, joblessness, envy, and bitterness), and to recognize the inherent contradictions in what they ask for.
    It starts with the schools. Until we break the educational monopoly, we’re doomed.

  34. Start with home schooling.
    Teach your kids critical thinking BEFORE they get to the brainwash factories.
    It’s up to parents.
    Stop waiting for the other guy to do something.

  35. That girl could have been a speech writer for Obama as the logic is the same but she obviously thinks better on her feet.

  37. “They’re kids, remember that.

    The Idiot Left: never missing an opportunity to deflect or excuse the inappropriate or violent acts of their brethren.
    Isn’t it odd that NONE of the Tea Party rallies involved violent protests, riot police taking physical action, theft, unwashed bodies or morons shïtting on police cars? Nor did any Police Chiefs Benevolent Association deem it necessary to warn Tea Partiers that it would seek civil redress along with criminal charges against any protester who committed violence amongst the Chiefs?
    Oh yes: sooo many similarities between the the Tea Partiers and the OWS döuchebags.

  38. At least this worthless a-hole didn’t lie about the rock and bottle throwing coming first. Very surprising, that.

    I’ll agree to disagree, education is important, that I agree, but being in an Academic setting to learn how to be creative and critically think and innovate? Not so sure…For me it’s still simple; school education should be mostly the base (At least for entry to mid managerial positions…Of course there is no on the job training for surgeons or nuclear physicists but you catch my drift): Read, write, math, basic history, physical activity is the basics needed for probably 70% of a country’s work force IMO.
    The best school remains the school of life. When I finished High School in 77 (When life was still kinda normal), I started working in an Automotive parts factory. From the floor up, I made it up to a manager’s position with tons of experience throughout…I worked hard, was interested in the processes and learned the ins and outs.
    Nobody, including new engineer hired fresh out of school could even match my expertise in that field. I “trained” so many Engineers, I lost count.
    When “Automotive Restructuring” struck across Ontario and Michigan, I was part of the thousands who were given pink slips and a severance pay.
    I have since applied for much lesser positions in the same field and because I don’t have diplomas coming out my wazoo, nobody will hire a High school degree simpleton like me.
    No school in the world would be able to teach me all that I know today…That’s the school of life; as long as you are willing to attend it and be interested in it…Many my age chose to be entertained zombies all their lives. I don’t really think, fancy diplomas would have or would make them any smarter.

    ABSOLUTELY!!!!
    Every single day, I am talking to my kids about this. My responsibility as a parent and their responsibility as individuals.
    Hopefully it sinks in.

  42. Gotta love the ‘disproportionate response’ rhetoric. The Palestinians must be glowing with pride.

  43. These cry-baby morons have never learned there are consequents for their actions and behaviour. They have grown up in an environment of where society has been caving into their indulgencies and feelings.
    Will they ever able to take responsibility for their own lives or will somebody always have to be there to look after them?

  44. Here, via National Review, is a prime example of the complete idiocy of the OWS cretins—the very kind ok4ua (now Missing in Action, I note), should be forced to spend some time with:

    A Day in Zuccotti Park
    As revolutions go, the Republic seems fairly safe.
    By Jim Lacey
    “. . . As luck would have it, though, many of them will not have to worry about money for much longer, as several OWS occupiers had the answer to everyone’s financial problems. This innovative group, all sporting $4-bill badges, claimed to have reimagined money. Intrigued, I asked how such a reimagination worked. In short, it seems that people are to create money as they need it for their own happiness and the happiness of others. This I liked, as I have a wonderful imagination and a deep need to use my money so as to increase my own happiness. I promptly imagined a page of my notebook into $10,000 and gave it to one of the $4 lapel-badge ladies. She looked at the sheet of paper and smiled at me. So far, so good. I then asked for her laptop and told her she could keep the $8,000 change I was due so as to further increase her own happiness. She quickly turned away, taking her laptop with her and leaving me short $10,000 of reimagined money. I assume the system has some kinks that the revolution will figure out as it goes. . . .”

    (No wonder ok4ua has gone missing. As one of my autistic students would say—she has a great sense of humour—“Yoo-hoo, ok4ua, where are you?” But, please, ok4ua, if you can defend this lunacy, please weigh in. I’m willing to listen . . .)
