While I can't speak for all Occupy camps near you, judging by what's been going on at Occupy Vancouver, this so called "movement" is dying and will soon be at an end. This downward spiral of childish imbecility was entirely predictable when the decision was made right from day one to make it a permanent live in protest. You were sure to get big crowds on opening weekend with people of various left wing associations supporting any number of complaints against "the system", but you knew the people pitching tents would not be the sane and rational people from the original group. Some might call them the lunatic fringe, I prefer to call them clowns. In Vancouver it tends to be the same people, and I've seen their protests before.
Then, when the normal people went home to their jobs after their symbolic appearance on opening weekend, the people left speaking for the entire movement were the least desirable spokespeople you could possibly leave in charge. The inmates took over the asylum, and the tent city protests got substantial media coverage. Here's an idea, let's start a protest movement and leave the craziest among us in charge of it when we go home and see what happens! Now it has degraded to the point where they damned near need a mobile safe heroin injection site just to keep the protesters alive! There are a number of left wingers who are now frustrated, even angry, with the Occupy Vancouver protesters for taking legitimacy away from the original movement. People like my friend who initially supported the protest, but now believe it needs to be shut down because it has started hurting the cause.
If they won't leave peacefully. Make them leave. If the nuts throw temper tantrums, then deal with them accordingly. That's what tasers are for.
Watch for Libby Davies and the NDP to exploit the death of the girl as proof for Mobile "Insight" vehicles to be set-up at peaceful protests so innicent kids can shoot-up as the victims of the oppresive corporation.

The Public Union pension funds own Shares of almost every Corp they hate , why????...because they are For-profit businesses and most are non-Union with the best ROI numbers so the Unon workers retire with their huge benefits and monthly cheques for the tax payers.

ReplyDeleteAnonymous, the ndp exploit these occupiers for their own self. Libby Davies nor the union big ceo who take innocent workers' dues to support protesters and ndp political party, would not be caught dead living amongst the occupiers.
And Libby has sent a letter to the govt demanding the govt get those idiots on that boat home. And one of them is forced to pay her own way back, after being deported.
ReplyDeleteIf I recall the PM stated that the govt does not interfere in the internal affairs of another country, and could not help those on that ship. Listen to them cry, there were deliberately defying the blockade, and are upset they were arrested and not treated with kid gloves. What did they expect, and those journalists are also arrested and complaining. Stupid is as stupid does.
that ship if they got in trouble.
