OWS now heckeling, following, threatening children???

That little child and his nice daddy were right next to this. at 1:36 you can see the loving daddy. Must have been career day at Occupy Portland. Knowing there was a great risk for violence at this event, this guy thought it would be cool to bring his son to heckle the cops. He did not observe from a distance. NO, he was right in the mix throwing the verbal jabs in an effort to provoke the police. I am parent of two 5 year olds and this is disgusting. Just as disgusting as those of you defending this behavior. 99%? Not even close. Not by a long shot. Go take a bath.

Keep it classy Portland.
Warning foul language

I encourage everyone to attend and support their nearest protest, because you can't say squat until you've actually been to one. Media is so one-sided nowadays that to listen and take it as fact would be about as foolish as thinking that the government has your best interest in mind (they don't, they want whats best for them, and no one else) , so before you hop on the bandwagon and spread around slander and lies about a peaceful OWS movement,


ATTEND ONE AND MAKE UP YOUR OWN MIND!

I bet you haven't been to one of these protests either..

Actually, I walked by Occupy Cleveland several times in the first couple of days of the sit in on my lunch break. I stopped, I listened and ate a sandwich. That event was very tame when compared to events in Oakland, Portland and Seattle. Not even close.

Sorry to inform you but you've all been played and this event is already collapsing due to the incidents that we are seeing now. You push hard enough, you'll be living in a police state that you are all so afraid of.

OWS NOW beating children!
every single one of them are child beaters!

See what you're doing idiot?, subconscious manipulation.

erbal jabs in an effort to provoke the police

huh? all I hear is people chanting who do you serve, who do you protect.


sure there are F bombs dropped, but who doesnt cuss when their mad?

I dont understand why you try to undermine what this movement is about, but you are clearly misguided...maybe turn the TV off for a change?

so the one you went too was tamed, yet you think all of them are bad? sigh...think what you want but this movement is only growing.

"Idiot" is not along the T&C of the board, let's try and keep the E-peen down.

I do agree with you though that these types of threads are either ignorant of the situation or purposefully trying to spin the topic into an issue that it is not.

Gonna agree with you on your last point.. the proper thing to do was back off till the kids are gone.. that costs you nothing.

Using kids as pawns in a bid for favor in public opinion is disgusting... and self-defeating.

Unless you're stupid enough to fall for the bait.

Which happened.

Both sides are proving themselves jackasses here.


Nothing good ever comes from blind fanaticism. Ever.

Boo to both.

Do you need a reading and comprehension lesson? I stopped by Occupy Cleveland and mentioned it was tame when compared to Seattle, Portland and Seattle. You interpret that statement as me thinking they are all bad.
Wow!

What's the message again? What does OWS stand for? Two months and I keep getting different answers from everyone that I ask. Its Over. You've been used.

Huh? Huh is right. If that's all you heard in that last 5 minute video clip you need to get your ears checked as well.

Perhaps you only watched the first 20 seconds.

I found it interesting that, for the duration of your 5:35 video, not one person said anything against the 1%, Wallstreet, any corporation, any bank, etc. All of their energy was directed toward the cops.

What does OWS stand for again?

reply to post by WTFover


That's a stacked question..

Stacked answer >> It's the police who are there in opposition of them. It's the police who are engaging them. If there were a bunch of bankers or ceo's there.. the cops would soon be forgotten.

They have no clue what they are doing and why they are doing it. The disconnected comments in that video say it all and may suggest that an OWS psychologist may be needed at these camps in addition to a couple of bars of soap.

It'd be easy to sink to your level here and toss petty insults back your way..

I'll just thank you for the offer of psychological help.. and the soap.

Quite childish. Have you nothing better?

What do you think would happen if the police were not there? Especially in Portland. What about the innocent people of the city just trying to go about their day. Should we just look the other way when the disorganized mobs come cruising down the streets? Is it like ignoring a bee that is buzzing around your head hoping it will just fly away?

These angry mobs of agitators that I am seeing with greater frequency are not simple little bees, they are merely festering wounds on the original Occupy movement and on society as a whole. They won't stop until they reach chaos level. When it really goes bad, it will go bad out west first and then every other city based movement will collapse in the aftermath.

But, the police presence doesn't cause them to change their focus. They do that of their own volition. How important can the OWS message be to them, if they are so easily distracted from it? Mind you, I am only addressing those in the video. ( I'm only saying that to deter the onslaught of accusations of generalizing the whole movement, not as an affront to you, as it seems we can engage in civil discourse)

It appears to me there were a whole lot of people there who just want to bitch.

My comments were not personally directed toward you or anyone else present. They were directed at the Neato Portland crowd. Although I've already been called a moron because of my opinion that bringing a young child to this event is a bad idea. Go figure? You might want to touch base with that guy.

reply to post by jibeho


So you're justifying your childish comments because you abhor OWS?

You might want to consider the purported logic to that.

reply to post by jibeho


Your comments were a childish cheap shot. However you might try to rationalize it.

21 flags for this? Give me a bloody break ATS

What is going on here people? These anti OWS threads are just getting more and more transparent, that article is so incredibly misleading and I saw nothing of what they claim in the video, it's just pathetic that people agree with the article, absolutely pathetic.
