This little piece of crap received an "Other Than Honorable" discharge from the Corps. It means he was a dirtbag and was thrown out on his arse.
If you want to chose him as your poster boy, go ahead. It reflects nicely upon the occupy movement to lionize losers like him.

Would you please give us your verifiable source for this information as to the nature of Scott Olsen's discharge? I have had different sources state everything from an Honorable to Medical to Dishonorable Discharge and have been looking for proof for exactly what type he received. their responses
Although it would make no difference in the events that occurred, perhaps it would allow people to step back and think about their responses rather than jump first.

Hippies, lol. Seriously, stop making assumptions based on things you don't know.
Other than honorable can mean alot of things. What does this have to do with anything?
The point? You've totally missed it, buddy. The constitution has been stomped on and violated by our supposedly elected officials in Washington D.C. It doesn't matter whether they claim left or right wing. they ignore it repeatedly, and create laws that violate it.
The constitution only stands if people get off their asses and defend it from all enemies, foreign and especially
domestic. Otherwise, if no one fights for it and makes sure it is followed, it is little more than a document on display. The constitution was designed to keep the politicians in check, not the people. Which is as it should be.

SecondAmendmentUser, I have been on the receiving end of psyops before, and I have to say that the only poster I have seen on this thread that sounds or acts like such a "G man' would be you, sir.
Most, not all by any means; but most, of the other posters that I am reading here are at least being cogent and attempting to stay on topic. I don't disagree with some of the things that you are saying, but the constant attempts to incite a violent response from your verbal jabs reminds me strongly of the 'agents provocateur' that were repeatedly used by big business during the greatest period of growth of the labor unions in America and other countries.
It has reached the point where some of us may just have to just have to ignore your voice until it states something with meaning versus rabble rousing.
Many people think that a Marines first response is violence, those people either don't know the Marines, or they know only the bad ones.

Should I riot, then, and kill a few unrelated people, or should I concentrate on resolving the issue and exposing the coverup? You decide for me - what is my proper course of action? What is justified? I have a choice to make here, and I'm allowing you to make it for me.
For all their rhetoric that violence is the only course of action, what are people like AnonymousFem and SecondAmendmentUser actually doing? Nothing; but it is a lot easier to act brave behind a computer screen than it is to act.edit on 1-11-2011 by WingedBull because: (no reason given)

Not negative, the cops tried to cover up their beaten of Rodney king.. And they were caught out of doing so, by erasing footage of them beating him.
And the riots were building up due to the fact the LAPD were notorious for their beatens of Blacks, Hispanics etc. Call me a lair all you want. I am entitled to my opinion as are you.
And another thing I did not try and cover it up. Anyone clicking the link would have read it the full account of what happened leading up to and after those riots. So you accusations are baseless.

Any updates on the Scott Olson's Condition?

Agreed....and you have to question why some of the "members" here are against what the US Constitution and our Founding Fathers CLEARLY provided for in the Second Amendment ....the right to FORCIBLY REMOVE A TYRANNICAL GOV'T FROM POWER. WHEN THERE IS NO OTHER RECOURSE ...WE HAVE REACHED THAT POINT IN TIME.

We should choose to ignore his diversionary tactics instead of responding to them; that allows him to dictate the course of conversation and avoid the hard questions being asked of him.

Try and make your enemy out to be lacking in credibility by hinting that the person is actually the REAL plant, and having a unstable mind. Nice work, but it doesn't phase many people here on ATS thankfully.

One of the benefits of studying what people like you do helps greatly. I always wondered what the "manipulators" think and feel when the tables are turned on them?
Angry yet? Frustrated? Annoyed? Good.

Nice esoteric avatar you have there.

Who made YOU the "authority" here in this thread, ah, you did.
But you see the initiator of the violence was the LEOs , people in the US have the right to defend themselves with deadly force from ANYONE that unjustly threatens their life with the same. It is that simple.edit on 1-11-2011 by SecondAmendmentUser because: (no reason given)

Please, someone tell me it's not just me seeing that...
