Was he walking towards the exit when they told him to "get on the ground" for whatever reason they would make you get on the ground for a misdemeanor?
I must have been off when this stupidity ensued. I chose to work at walmart, despite everything i had heard and seen in exposes and documentaries.If we needed a bunch of self-rightious punks to come in and disrupt the work day, we wouldve done it ourselves. Im an eighteen year old student with a car note, and only one job prior to walmart, my options are rather slim when it comes to finding a part time job. If you really want change, terrorize the home office, not our store.
Occupy can you protest on private property? Not without permission arrests justified sorry but no one takes you guys and gals seriously because of your childish means of getting attention
@WskyMouse380 Sorry, but any informed political observer would disagree with you. You can say what you will about their practices, but the Occupy movement is actually based in true intellectual theory. Only ignorant "guys and gals" (lol) like you call their direct action methods childish.
who thinks walmart is good? hit them in the bank with a national general asembly of returns! Return everything! this will be a scream heard round the world! OCCUPY ROCKS!
If the occupiers were willing to go onto private property and protest they should have been willing to handle the repercussions. The fact that the "Occupiers" filed suit shows a real lack of testicular fortitude among the leaders of your said movement. When you stand up and fight and voice your opinion and get knocked down you should jump right back up. In your case you filed a law suit, so you gain ZERO respect because you cannot fight your own battles.
If this chanting is not public disturbance, I don't know what is. Certainly it is designed to disturb the regular environment in the store, so the fact that protesters were arrested only means that they have achieved their goal. They should have been be prepared for this and consider it a success of their mission.
@vr228 I can see your point that they would expect something to happen. However, this leads us back into the brutality being used by the police. The protesters were exiting of their own free will, and things could have ended without one of them needing to be tackled. The police are making grand assumptions and not acting as they should towards a peaceful protest.
@4B6174 , peaceful protest can and should go on on public land, not on private property. Yes, they were already leaving, but after they have already caused the disturbance they wanted to cause. So there were no assumptions, it was disturbance by design.
Don't get me wrong, I don't condemn protesters; confrontation and disobedience is not necessarily bad thing - otherwise we would still be part of Great Britain. if you blow a strike but there's no strike in return, it means yours was too soft.
@sincerelyyours2000 it's sad ur tryna find a reason to demonize them maby u should step back and look at the message we need world change or kiss it goodbye ur c n ur brothers and sisters tryna fight for humanity to stay alive! Peace brother Buy local
Welcome to the police states of America. Where local cops are stressed out and have to arrest kids expressing themselves. This happened in the '60s & '70s and it's happening now. Nothing will change because of these kids and there's no way they can hope for it to ever change. We're screwed.
@MrInternette You can buy Levis at locally owned and operated, non-chain, "mom and pop" stores. Wal-Mart and JCPenney don't hold the patent on Levis. You can also buy Levis at just about every thrift store ever.
@OdeToNecrophilia ...oh, but how many jobs does Wal-Mart provide? Aren't these people local people? Or do they also import people from China to stock the shelves, perform cashier duties, bake the goods, slice the meats and cheese? Must be one heck of a lot of Americans living in China these days, huh?
@OdeToNecrophilia True and you're right, it would be better to buy something that was. The fact is that is not always possible due to the fact that not a whole lot is manufactured here anymore, especially when it comes to clothes. Sometimes the best you can do with "buying local" is to buy goods from a locally owned and operated store so at least more of the profits go back to your community. It's not perfect, but it's a START to bringing things home again.
Actually, headbanger, Im part of OccupyOKC & I run a small buiz & I manage at a luxury goods store. Most of us have jobs, if not 2. My husband is a veteran detective & a high ranking Naval Officer-A Captain. We rconservatives. We are uppermiddle class. But unlike U, who have failed 2 catch on 2 the fact that Ur getting fucked by a system thats rigged, we are no longer sheeple & we demand accountability 2 the people and a return to what this country was founded on. Small govt & fair taxation..
Haha, serves them right for being dumbasses. Wal-Mart is evil, but instead of being a bunch of whiney, sheltered, trust fund babies who haven't had to work to put food in their stomachs, get a f*cking job and keep your mouth shut tight around your golden spoon.
Maybe these Occupussies should take a fucking shower and then get a job, instead of trying to destroy another persons job. It has become nothing but agitation now. They should make them exit the store by beating the fuck out of them with baseball bats. These worthless little fucks wouldn't know what a days work is.
@1911HeadBanger Statistically, most supporters of #OWS are middle-aged people with jobs (who shower!). Like I said in a previous comment, I know one of the protesters in this video and she is probably the hardest working person I've ever met. She takes the time to participate in activist causes that mean a lot to her in the very small amount of spare time that she has.
@melodypristine you mean she does all of that just so she can protest to support Barack Obama for 2012? That's what this is all about anyway. It's all been paid for and that's what they will find that they have been used for when it's all said and done.
& then the intellect appears..."..and that will redistribute the wealth all by itself." Redistribution of wealth is not a right; not a civil liberty; not protected anywhere by our Constitution, Bible or Bill of Rights. If you want more money, make a decision to do what it takes to try to get you there. Freedom of opportunity. We all have freedom of opportunity. It is up to each of us to decide what to do next.
@TiltII Let's look at what those documents DO say (this may take a few comments): "WE the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect UNION, establish JUSTICE, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the COMMON defence, promote the GENERAL WELFARE, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America." Doesn't sound like rampant consumerism was intended to me...
@TiltII "Cheerfully share your home with those who need a meal or a place to stay.-Peter 4:9"
"So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other. Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples.-John 13:34-35"
"The righteous care about justice for the poor, but the wicked have no such concern." Proverbs 29:7
I think I actually read something about someone saying that disobeying an order from a polica officer is immoral... WHAT? ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS? It's that kind of twisted thinking that has gotten us to this point in the first place. IT IS NOT ILLEGAL AND DEFINITELY NOT IMMORAL TO DISOBEY A POLICE OFFICER, RATHER IT IS OUR CIVIC DUTY TO DO SO WHEN THEY HAVE CROSSED THE LINE OF LIBERTY.
@kylelindsayjudah The police officers didn't cross the "line of liberty'. The OccupyOKC people did. They attacked the customers and low-paid workers, the very people they claim they want to help. Why did they do this all across America on Black Friday???
why doesn't OWS get some lawyers to inform their members of the law? A store is private property. People are allowed to come in to shop. Someone who wants to protest something takes the risk of being arrested.
@sincerelyyours2000 Attacking? I must have missed the part where they "attacked" customers and workers. They weren't knocking merchandise out of anyone's hands. I highly doubt that anyone sad enough to trudge through Black Friday shopping was even remotely deterred by this. They were just getting their message out harmlessly & did this in SEVERAL other stores that day w/o incident. They weren't hurting anyone. They tried to leave when told to do so. What more do you want?
Congress, politicians and super elites belong to the same group .... you scratch my back and i scratch yours. They become a very power entity ... no way can some ordinary occupy protesters can have the power to change it.
@Matthew77a As long as money and media visibility gained via lots and lots of money are the greatest driving forces in our electoral process, things aren't going to change. Also, there are far too many important positions in our government that are filled through appointments instead of elections. This leaves far too much room for corruption and the hoarding of power.
@Matthew77a I think we should remove entitlement from the vocabulary of corporate CEOs who pull in million dollar salaries and still want a cut of my tax money. I don't want a handout and I don't know anyone in this movement who does. I work my ass off for the money I make, I pay my bills on time, and I put about 60-80% of each paycheck straight into savings. I just finished working through college so I know how to stretch a penny. Is it so much to ask to want my government to do the same?
@Matthew77a I completely agree with you, but you have to see that that instant-gratification/buy now-think later mindset goes all the way up to the top echelons of our society. Congress is doing the same thing with our taxpayer money, only instead of throwing down $20 on slurpees they're throwing millions and billions of our dollars at corporations in exchange for a few thousand in campaign contributions. Is that right?
@Matthew77a I understand if people are forced to leave private spaces, but why should people have to leave public spaces such as parks and sidewalks? I've seen numerous pictures of people being pepper-sprayed and handcuffed while doing such violent, disruptive acts such as....meditating. In PUBLIC space. Seriously. Also, it's not that the police shouldn't take any action especially if someone is being violent, but many of these are clear cut cases of excessive force against non-combatants.
@Matthew77a If only it were that simple. Our financial problems are so complicated and intricate that there, unfortunately, is no simple, step-by-step solution. It's not just the issue of the American people using "credit instead of cash." Honestly, at this point, even cold hard cash is nothing more than an IOU with a president's face on it. Our money only has meaning because the rest of the world still believes that it kind of does. It isn't actually backed up by anything.
@Matthew77a To give you an idea of just how complex...here's just a FEW causes of the financial crisis: deregulation of the financial sector by the Federal Reserve, the borrowing against borrowed money by large financial institutions, bottom-feeding lenders misleading poor to lower middle class people into taking out sub-prime loans that they could not afford even when there were eligible for regular more straight-forward loans, traders betting against the futures of commodities, I can go on...
@Matthew77a They want to put an end to lobbying and corporate personhood more than anything else and to get money out of politics. Who is in control? The people. All of us. YOU, Matthew. Question answered. Anything else? And no, actually, the world wasn't quite sure what to make of the gay and civil rights movements when they first began and they did not have set-in-stone agendas right away. It is every Americans right to PURSUE happiness and that is what they're doing.
@Matthew77a Well, I'm talking about ALL of the Occupy protests as I assumed you were, as well. I wasn't just referring to the group in this video. Obviously, those are not riot police in Del City, but what would you call police in New York or Oakland in riot shields and helmets pepper-spraying and beating crowds indiscriminately? For the most part, these groups have been complying with the law. The police are enforcing something other than the law.
@Matthew77a It's simple. Major corporations pay fair wages, don't pay obscene salaries to their CEOs (their salaries are set by the boards of directors, made up of other overpaid CEOs, who vote raises to each other). Companies and rich individuals don't hide their profits offshore, the financial markets aren't rigged, and capital gains and income taxes for the rich are returned to a historical middle level instead of historic lows, and that will redistribute the wealth all by itself.
@Matthew77a Cities in this nation are not going broke because of Occupy, though. They were broke or were going broke loooooong before this. This is a reaction, not a cause. Also, commodity futures aren't people, but a type of stock. The OWS movement is in its infancy and the demands/plans will become more concrete as the movement gains more ground. Both the gay rights movement and civil rights movement started off with similarly vague demands and large groups of angry people in the streets.
@Matthew77a Well, then send me the links so I can see for myself, but I still say with completely confidence that is not the majority of OWS. $13 million is a drop in the bucket compared to the billions that traders of commodity futures have cost us in artificially driving up the price of oil, not to mention the damage caused by the Fed irresponsibly lowering interest rates year after year during the 90s with no thought to the bubble they were creating.
@Matthew77a Maybe it wouldn't be causing so much damage and costing the city so much if they didn't send in the riot police right off the bat. Maybe people wouldn't be so frustrated and aimless if they hadn't been so royally screwed over in the first place. Job loss, bad housing loans, stagnant wages, drained 401Ks = large groups of pissed off people. We wouldn't be in this mess if the people in our government did their jobs instead of just gathering funding for their re-election.
@Matthew77a They ARE truly committed to their cause, which is calling for fiscal responsibility and accountability across all levels of society and government. The comparison between PETA and Occupy doesn't really work. PETA is against the use of animals for food and clothing. Occupy isn't against the use of clothing and electronics. Also, MOST of the protesters are NOT defecating on flags and having sex in public. You're buying into the media-spin. Most are peaceful sign-holders/chanters.
Occupy black Friday Failed miserably. Sales rose an estimated 6.6 percent to a record $11.4 billion on Black Friday. The day's sales growth was the strongest percentage gain since 2007 - said Ed Marcheselli, chief marketing officer at ShopperTrak, which monitors retail traffic. That's an epic fail actually
@Matthew77a the 1% who who own 51% of America's wealth never had to work. No need sucking up to them because unless you were born into it you will never achieve it. The game is rigged.
The people that may have witnessed what you were saying for the first time in that store have now associated the shock of you suddenly and without warning yelling it out and scaring the bejesus out of them with your cause. In that moment, it became less about the content of your message, and more about the fact that you were some strange group of people yelling and frightening the populace. If your goal was to cause general disruption, mission accomplished. Scaring people to your cause, no.
I agree with the message, but I question the delivery. The only thing you're doing to these folks in this video is scaring the hell out of them. Spreading your message and your cause should be done in a way in which the parties you hope to be receptive to your message have the opportunity to feel comfortable and attentive to your ideas. Shouting your message scaring the hell out of people in the process just associates whatever you have to say with shock and fear. Please consider alternatives.
@Matthew77a No, YOU'RE missing the point. What I am talking about is called RECYCLING and UPCYCLING and it's better than wasting perfectly usable items and clothing. Would it be better to just throw all that already-purchased stuff away and thus add more trash to our landfills? Again, it's like Billy Talen says, you have to say "stop shopping!" just so that people will shop LESS. You can't exactly fit a lot of moral subtlety in a freaking chant.
Also, the sentiment of "buy local" is similar to Rev. Billy Talen's mantra of "stop shopping." Yes, it is not 100% realistic to never have to buy anything that was made in a foreign country from a large corporate store, especially when it comes to things like electronics, but if you THINK before you BUY you are more likely to make a purchase from a locally owned, non-chain store or to buy something that says "100% Made in America."
I'm sorry, did I miss the part where all the protesters took a break to show their clothing labels to the camera? How do you know they are "designer" clothes or that they came from a big box store like Wal-Mart? Even if they are "designer clothes", how do you know they didn't come from Goodwill or a clothes swap? How do you know the camera wasn't borrowed or rented? Quit focusing on stupid shit like that and LISTEN to the MESSAGE.
@faulikingtruth you were asked @37 to stop filming and did not comply. How can you falsely claim you complied when you filmed for roughly another minute and a half. (Also, I am not surprised you also have Mr. Gay Oklahoma as one of your videos)
One good thing about Walmart in America is that they are definitely an equal opportunity employer. Many people may not be able to easily get a job were it not for WallyWorld. I see people with visible tattoos, wide-gauged earrings and purple hair. They also routinely hire the elderly and handicapped. You don't need a college education to work there. If you look for it, you can even find American-made products sold there.
So these self-righteous idiots now think it's okay to harass working people and tell them when and where they should work? These pompous clowns get more pathetic every day.
Stop blaming the POLICE. It ruins the message and makes you look like thugs. Focus on Walmart and their practices, find some faces to associate with Walmart. F.U. Police? Are you serious? Why blame a construction worker for the architecture of a building?
So he's loitering, trespassing on private property, and possibly being disorderly. And you guys are complaining that the officer made a modest arrest? No dramatic throw down, no pepper spray, just a standard "get on the ground?" Understand people you DO NOT have the right to protest on private property. If someone was at your doorstep chanting "buy local" you could call the police and that person could be detained. Do I think the police had to arrest people? No. But they aren't in the wrong.
How can any of you possibly think this conduct to be appropriate? Disorderly conduct much? Yeah you deserved to get arrested for doing this in public.
Here's a big fuck you to whoever was chanting "buy local". You think it's right to deprive a Chinese of his job simply because he happened to be in another country? Because that's what the "buy local" campaign is effectively about. There's no reason why local products should be preferred over overseas products. You claim that you're enriching your own community, but what you're really doing is fucking over poor foreigners at a huge expense.
Let me say this. One you elbow a cop like was done your going to go down. Two protesting at Wal-mart and screaming buy local when most of you were wearing clothes from Japan, Taiwan, China, and other countries just makes no sense. Finally as a disabled American who works for the company I am happy I have a job whether it be with Wal-Mart or the 7-11 down the road I am honored that I work for the largest employer in the country and who actually hires the disabled unlike many many fortune 500
@ Every Person posting Fuck the Police they are here to protect the Public!!! That means they will be there to Protect you when you need them. When citizens are caught in the middle of a protest no matter how civil you portray it the police will be there to make sure that innocent citizens are safe first. They will also make sure that protesters angry or not are safe as well, that is what law enforcement officers do. Before you blame the police think about others before you place the blame.
@thespermophilus That is a stupid response, go put on your Obama support shirt and watch Bill Maher and let other people tell you what your opinions are. Think before you post, you look like an idiot.
"where ten activists were arrested when Wal-Mart brought in the Del City Police to tackle and handcuff the participants as they were peacefully leaving the store" Peaceful: 1 Free from disturbance; tranquil. 2 Not involving war or violence. Shouting like a maniac is not peaceful sirs.
Why does everyone assume that all Occupy protesters don't have jobs??? In actuality, most Occupy supporters are middle-aged employed people (as surprising as that may be to everyone who wants to buy into the BS idea that they are all lazy, spoiled college kids). I personally know one of the protesters in this video and I've never known her to not have a job. She supports this movement BECAUSE she works hard for her money, not because she doesn't want to do so.
Thanks to protesters like that your movement receives yet another black eye. I do not agree with the occupy movement at all. If you plan on keeping it up you may want to get some better qualified people to represent you and not at a Wal-Mart in Oklahoma.
I recommend watching "Walmart - High Cost of Low Prices" documentary. Kudos for having guts to try to voice your dissent.
"Private property" is someone's backyard. Malls are *commercial* property. By inviting public, they abide by different rules than "private property". Keep that in mind.
@debunkdebunkers you are trying to distort with nonsense. Private property can be commercial, residential and a variety of other types as well. Being used for commercial purposes DOES NOT mean you cannot control access and set rules. Again, IT DOES NOT CHANGE the fact it's private.
Oh and yes, people should watch that crappy documentary so they can see how much BS it is filled with.
Most people that work at Wal-mart need a second job to pay their bills. Many Wal-mart employees get help from the government to survive. Does that mean Wal-mart is getting the government to subsidize their workers?? Shouldn't it be an outrage to tax payers that workers have to get additional gov benefits because Wal-mart does not pay it's workers a livable wage?? It certainly can afford to.
@dispozilla it is Wal-Mart .. how much do you think that a person should be paid for a job that requires no education, no experience, that is not labor intensive. It is not a career choice - it is a part time job or something till something better comes along to make ends meet.
The people recording this did not listen when told to stop the first time, that's why we start to see them get arrested. The police never told them to leave, it was management. Also nobody was filming this, to film something you most be using film. They were recording this.
For content to be considered for removal, an individual must be uniquely identifiable by image, voice, full name, Social Security number, bank account number or contact information...We also take public interest, newsworthiness, and consent into account...To be considered uniquely identifiable, there must be enough information in the video that allows others to recognize you...just because you can identify yourself within the video, it does not mean you are uniquely identifiable to others.
This video has received a "privacy complaint" from someone, which means there is a claim that a person has been identified by name or that they are "uniquely identifiable" in the film. The only names mentioned in the film description are Wal-Mart and the Del City Police Department. Companies are not covered under privacy rules. I'll list some excerpts from their privacy guidelines in the next comment. If it is deleted (and I don't see how or why it should be), we'll repost it elsewhere.
Whether anyone thinks it was okay for the police to arrest people for doing a Mic Check in WalMart, were they justified in arresting the protesters as they were leaving, even if they were still chanting "Buy Local"? Secondly, were they justified in using extreme force to arrest them by tackling and knocking people to the ground from behind? Finally, were they justified in attacking & arresting the two filmmakers who were NOT chanting & who complied with requests to quit filming and leave?
Yet another example of the low life miscreants OWS are. They seem to not understand the elementary grade level concept that retail employees work for companies that sell stuff. Therefore, the businesses will want to make as much money as they can the one day of the year that will bring in the most money. They can't make as much the rest of the year because Obama has almost destroyed the private sector economy. These OWS idiots don't occupy jobs themselves, they are too lazy.
I heard the cop say do you want to be tased .. is it legal for cops to taser people for talking in a store ??????????Every one should be very scared ,the USA is a very dangers country

Perhaps you communist sympathizers should come to the understanding that WE are not with you, WE are laughing at you. Embarrassed for you even.
You blame the corporations, the companies, and the workers - now you blame the shoppers. Good luck with that.
You all must simply want to run around and get all amped up on your surging hormones, because if you had a focused agenda you would all be in DC demanding that the corruption in BOTH political parties be addressed.
The funny thing about this video is that the people in the background probably actually agree with the protesters. It's kinda that embarrassing feeling you get when you know someone is right.
@OrionHeights167 .....except they are NOT right! But the people in the background are probably just as clueless as those "protesting" and most of those posting here. Sigh. This is what progressive education has brought to us. God help us all.
@morpheusia85 It doesn't matter if it's Wal-mart or pops corner store someone worked hard, bought a building, hired workers, and opened the store where they could sell products at the lowest prices to bring in more people. If you can sell it at a lower price more people will want it, now if Wal-mart is evil for living the American dream, we should all have that dream,
Wal-mart did not start huge it was one store and a mans dream
@travel1949 That is great for them! welcome to America that is what the dream is supposed to accomplish. I have no problems with someone getting rich doing good things for themselves. I do not agree that people in a wal-mart need to be "checked" but you have no idea what you are talking about when you say "get a JOB and stop wanting everything for FREE...yes we also buy local, ASSES!!" Saying thing like that show you only know what peole have been spoon feeding you about the movement!
@travel1949 I have a job and if you get off your butt and go ask people who are occupying most of them have jobs. If you notice the articles you read say otherwise, but why would you try to actually verify this stuff yourself when it is so much easier to judge others? Occupiers are not all Socialist or Marxist or Democrats, not one person has asked for a handout, working people of all ages including people active in the military are part of the movement.
@morpheusia85 Disturbing people as they shop is not the way to change the country. Furthermore, none of the protestors are dressed in home made clothing instead they are dressed in clothing produced by slave labor in the third world.
I wasn't originally going to shop at Wal-Mart. Now I will.
Yay for the 1%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Eat your heart out you poor bastards. Sleeping in parks and yelling in the Wal-Mart, that's not the typical way to start a revolution but if you feel better about it, go for it. Meanwhile I'm loading up my cart and spending more money on Christmas than the government sends you in a year. BWAHAHAHA!
@Magnesiac What about the people who occupy, have jobs and pay taxes. I get no help from the government like your bank does. Any intolerant and ignorant comments for me?
@morpheusia85 What do you want? A medal for doing what you are supposed to do? If you want to work and pay taxes and then waste your free time, go for it. Here's a lil pat on the back for you... *pat. Feel better? If you'd like to go live in a communist country or maybe a socialist one, go for that too. Good luck changing this country by yelling and making complete asses of yourselves in a department store. How about doing it the democratic way and one of you tittybabies can run for office? WAH!
@Magnesiac That is what you dont understand about me and the Occupiers, none of us want anything, no government funding. I am not a socialist or Marxist. (simply saying that shows how little you actually know about the movement) I want the people who do illegal trading practices to held accountable for destroying Americas net worth. I would like interest free LOANS for anyone who needs it, like the banks got when they requested it from the government. Most of all, money out of politics!
By the way, if our founding fathers just shut, quit whining and thanked their lucky stars they had what they had, instead of trying to make a better life for themselves and their children, where would you be?
One more thing, you are the communist for speaking out against my right to speak out against our government. When my point is there is something seriously wrong with where this country is going. Not only because of the federal government but also the people who truly pay the politicians to create legislation.
So to everyone who is saying that Wal-Mart is "local", you're okay with your "friends and neighbors" working for substandard wages and meager benefits? I guess that makes you a shitty friend, doesn't it? Also, how about all the manufacturing jobs that we could have if all that crap in Wal-Mart was made, ya know, here?
@melodypristine be care full they get mad when people want equality and safe working places it means your saying your entitled to live off what you work hard for.
@Bruce1949919 Then all the money they have made goes to pay for medical bills, so they get a second job at another store so they can pay their mortgage. But they are lazy and feel entitled to have the government help them when they loose one job because of their disability, created by being in a war to fight for your freedom. Why should we help these lazy drains on society? (sarcastically)
u guys r fuckin faggots...how about u get a job and worry about ur own lives instead of the ppl workin to pay their bills...bitches

@vr228 I can see your point that they would expect something to happen. However, this leads us back into the brutality being used by the police. The protesters were exiting of their own free will, and things could have ended without one of them needing to be tackled. The police are making grand assumptions and not acting as they should towards a peaceful protest.
4B6174 3 months ago
@4B6174 , peaceful protest can and should go on on public land, not on private property. Yes, they were already leaving, but after they have already caused the disturbance they wanted to cause. So there were no assumptions, it was disturbance by design.
Don't get me wrong, I don't condemn protesters; confrontation and disobedience is not necessarily bad thing - otherwise we would still be part of Great Britain. if you blow a strike but there's no strike in return, it means yours was too soft.

The fact is that is not always possible due to the fact that not a whole lot is manufactured here anymore, especially when it comes to clothes. Sometimes the best you can do with "buying local" is to buy goods from a locally owned and operated store so at least more of the profits go back to your community. It's not perfect, but it's a START to bringing things home again.

@Matthew77a It's simple. Major corporations pay fair wages, don't pay obscene salaries to their CEOs (their salaries are set by the boards of directors, made up of other overpaid CEOs, who vote raises to each other). Companies and rich individuals don't hide their profits offshore, the financial markets aren't rigged, and capital gains and income taxes for the rich are returned to a historical middle level instead of historic lows, and that will redistribute the wealth all by itself.

@Matthew77a Cities in this nation are not going broke because of Occupy, though. They were broke or were going broke loooooong before this. This is a reaction, not a cause. Also, commodity futures aren't people, but a type of stock. The OWS movement is in its infancy and the demands/plans will become more concrete as the movement gains more ground. Both the gay rights movement and civil rights movement started off with similarly vague demands and large groups of angry people in the streets.

Also, the sentiment of "buy local" is similar to Rev. Billy Talen's mantra of "stop shopping." Yes, it is not 100% realistic to never have to buy anything that was made in a foreign country from a large corporate store, especially when it comes to things like electronics, but if you THINK before you BUY you are more likely to make a purchase from a locally owned, non-chain store or to buy something that says "100% Made in America."

To answer the question, yes, it IS legal for the police to Taser you on private property.
You enter private property under the express understanding that you must leave if requested.
The police make such a request with the written permission of Wal-Mart, who will pay 100% of all of the legal fees an officer might incur.
Bottom line, do this on public property.
Wal-Mart is now going to get an injunction against each and every one of you, that is how corporate America works.

You blame the corporations, the companies, and the workers - now you blame the shoppers. Good luck with that.
You all must simply want to run around and get all amped up on your surging hormones, because if you had a focused agenda you would all be in DC demanding that the corruption in BOTH political parties be addressed.

The funny thing about this video is that the people in the background probably actually agree with the protesters. It's kinda that embarrassing feeling you get when you know someone is right.

@OrionHeights167 .....except they are NOT right! But the people in the background are probably just as clueless as those "protesting" and most of those posting here. Sigh. This is what progressive education has brought to us. God help us all.

@morpheusia85 It doesn't matter if it's Wal-mart or pops corner store someone worked hard, bought a building, hired workers, and opened the store where they could sell products at the lowest prices to bring in more people. If you can sell it at a lower price more people will want it, now if Wal-mart is evil for living the American dream, we should all have that dream,
Wal-mart did not start huge it was one store and a mans dream

@travel1949 That is great for them! welcome to America that is what the dream is supposed to accomplish. I have no problems with someone getting rich doing good things for themselves. I do not agree that people in a wal-mart need to be "checked" but you have no idea what you are talking about when you say "get a JOB and stop wanting everything for FREE...yes we also buy local, ASSES!!" Saying thing like that show you only know what peole have been spoon feeding you about the movement!

@travel1949 I have a job and if you get off your butt and go ask people who are occupying most of them have jobs. If you notice the articles you read say otherwise, but why would you try to actually verify this stuff yourself when it is so much easier to judge others? Occupiers are not all Socialist or Marxist or Democrats, not one person has asked for a handout, working people of all ages including people active in the military are part of the movement.

@morpheusia85 Disturbing people as they shop is not the way to change the country. Furthermore, none of the protestors are dressed in home made clothing instead they are dressed in clothing produced by slave labor in the third world.
Congrats hypocrites!!!

Walmart: Biggest employer of the Chinese. All Hail China

I wasn't originally going to shop at Wal-Mart. Now I will.
Yay for the 1%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Eat your heart out you poor bastards. Sleeping in parks and yelling in the Wal-Mart, that's not the typical way to start a revolution but if you feel better about it, go for it. Meanwhile I'm loading up my cart and spending more money on Christmas than the government sends you in a year. BWAHAHAHA!

@Magnesiac What about the people who occupy, have jobs and pay taxes. I get no help from the government like your bank does. Any intolerant and ignorant comments for me?

@morpheusia85 What do you want? A medal for doing what you are supposed to do? If you want to work and pay taxes and then waste your free time, go for it. Here's a lil pat on the back for you... *pat. Feel better? If you'd like to go live in a communist country or maybe a socialist one, go for that too. Good luck changing this country by yelling and making complete asses of yourselves in a department store. How about doing it the democratic way and one of you tittybabies can run for office? WAH!

@Magnesiac That is what you dont understand about me and the Occupiers, none of us want anything, no government funding. I am not a socialist or Marxist. (simply saying that shows how little you actually know about the movement) I want the people who do illegal trading practices to held accountable for destroying Americas net worth. I would like interest free LOANS for anyone who needs it, like the banks got when they requested it from the government. Most of all, money out of politics!

By the way, if our founding fathers just shut, quit whining and thanked their lucky stars they had what they had, instead of trying to make a better life for themselves and their children, where would you be?

One more thing, you are the communist for speaking out against my right to speak out against our government. When my point is there is something seriously wrong with where this country is going. Not only because of the federal government but also the people who truly pay the politicians to create legislation.

So to everyone who is saying that Wal-Mart is "local", you're okay with your "friends and neighbors" working for substandard wages and meager benefits? I guess that makes you a shitty friend, doesn't it? Also, how about all the manufacturing jobs that we could have if all that crap in Wal-Mart was made, ya know, here?

@Bruce1949919 Then all the money they have made goes to pay for medical bills, so they get a second job at another store so they can pay their mortgage. But they are lazy and feel entitled to have the government help them when they loose one job because of their disability, created by being in a war to fight for your freedom. Why should we help these lazy drains on society? (sarcastically)
