The Face of Occupy KC - a KC Active documentary - a MetaphorMedia video

[kissmysack]

All this to say, if you are fighting the real fight, I applaud you. If you are a fake and doing it for all the wrong reasons, just stay out of the way. You make more of a mess than they need

[kissmysack]

This movement reminds me of when 9/11 happened. After that day, EVERYBODY in this city had a flag flying....neighbourhoods were a sea of red, white, and blue. You could just watch the patriotism of the town dwindle by the flags slowly disappearing in masses. It became too inconvenient to put them up everyday. I mean, come on, it takes almost a full minute! Totally understand! In my neighbourhood, its back to the orginals, me and a neighbour, that were flying our flags everyday before that day.

This movement/novelty is DEAD. I run down there by the memorial since day 1 and its dwindled down to basically a handful. The trendy posers have gotten bored with it and moved on. It was something to say they did and thier heart was never into it. Im trying to figure out if its just a bunch of homeless left there and it gives them a place to crash without getting hassled by the police. I havent seen one person by the corner waving a sign for quite sometime. People dont have any real follow thro

Thank you for your struggle. Don't stop fighting. We will prevail in the end. Occupy is paving the way for a revolution to come.

Good production! Did KC visit Walmart today?  In Colorado it was a Walmart Distribution Center in Loveland (main one, people from Denver, Boulder, Ft. Collins, etc) and apparently a Walmart in Colorado Springs.

Watching this I thought I wouldn't mind a Walmart mic check, if it wasn't for the technicality that I would no longer be able to say "I've never set foot in a Walmart". ;)

[doedeedum]

you people still there?

[SktRat4life]

i'm very happy that the kansas city police department aren't so much concerned with non violent protesters as much as other cities are.. like new york for instance. ill take it that most of the police here in KCMO support this movement of change.

Nice job.

America is headed in the wrong direction and has been for some time now. The public debt is crushing our economy and job creation. The bailouts of Wall Street and foreign banks is adding to our debt at an amazing rate. The stealth bailout of bankrupt states and political cronys is another culprit in this mess. It is time for an end to the corruption in DC and the revolving door between Wall Street and federal office. John Corzine comes to mind. Keep on protesting peacefully.

This is a great information video. Great Job!!!

[muzzlethedebate]

nice job, great video...

[scottosonic]

Stop me if you've heard this one- A Muslim, a Communist and an illegal alien walk into a bar. The bartender looks up and says- "Mr President! What are you having?"

[BaphometRex666]

Great cause Great Job!

[roniweiss]

I think you would you have done yourself a service if you sped the pace of the vid up a bit. I saw 6:40 and questioned if you needed it to be that long... I don't think you did. I stopped watching at 1:35, as I didn't think there was going to be anything that would really be new and different.

Hope you find the feedback constructive.

Good video,SOLIDARY

Democracy works!

[Mikeslot111]

After reading a couple of you post and some of the post we got from trolls, I hope that their fear of being awaken from their fantasy they call life does not cause them to miss out on the big picture. If it were not for groups like yours there would be no talk about the disappearing middle class. Keep up the good work.

[DaddyHatchable]

love you guys. your there because i cant be. and i appreciate it.

[bigbluesparky]

"I hate corporations but I want them to employ me."

"I dont want my children to inherit debt, but I want the goverment to pay for my health care"

WHAT ???

Now the truth;

They claim they're "99%", but they're MOSTLY the 48%, that don't pay one penny in federal taxes.

They want jobs, but support Barak Obama and his failed class warfare for a better America plan.

They want jobs but won't admit (or are to stupid to know) that "Obamacare" has destroyed the job market.

Obama sucks !!!

[Evildoodoer]

@bigbluesparky You are obviously incapable of understanding what's going on and you have a bad habit of regurgitating baseless conversation points. That is ok because these people are fighting for a better society that you too will be able to enjoy.

[bigbluesparky]

@Evildoodoer Yeah, all the homeless, the lost (and looking for ANY cause), college age hippies, that never had a job other than delivering pizzas, the anarchists, the died in the wool commies, that make up the MAJORITY of protesters are all gonna make hard working me, a better America by not bathing and sleeping in a park ! LMFAO !

They would all be better suited to taking a "course" in work ethic and responsible living.

Reality for a new begining.

[Evildoodoer]

@bigbluesparky Reality for a new beginning, INDEED!!! Are you sure you're ready? It's ok that you're obviously not, still regurgitating meaningless labels. Reality for a new beginning, hold on tight, not too tight.

[bigbluesparky]

@Evildoodoer  If truth is a "label" than start applying it.

[djbigangus]

@bigbluesparky

true enough...let em know!

[louisleoiv]

The truth is you don't know what the hell you're talking about. #OccupyYourMind

[obdca1]

Look at the foolish sheep, protesting in favor of those who would take away the last shreds of freedom they still possess. Stupid hippies. Baaa! Baaa! 

[paddedshell]

@obdca1 You might dispense with the name calling when you have not attended. The group is both exhilarating and intimidating. There is a representation of unimaginable diversity, both left and right.

[obdca1]

@paddedshell I would rather have all my teeth extracted without anesthetic than attend foolish rallies in favor of the organized far left, corrupt labor unions and the Muslim-in-chief.

Surely you jest. I have a subversive suggestion to these worthless representatives of the Entitlement Generation: a job. I won't pay for you parasites handouts, I won't pay for Obama's socialism and I wouldn't go to lefty protests if you held a gun to my head.

[paddedshell]

@obdca1 Sounds to me like you've got yourself a personal problem there. That's OK Stormchaser, you stay cowering under the eaves of your mommy's bungalow where it's safe. I doubt anyone, and especially the Tea Party members attending Occupy KC, will miss your sorry ass. We are genuine enough to come looking for common ground. We are the 99%.

[scottosonic]

@paddedshell Yeah, right. Of Course I believe that there are Tea Parties and non-leftists protesting in favor of Obamunism, corrupt unions and the abolition of what's left of freedom in this country. Shuuure. I'd bet the presidents prayer rug that's not true. You ought to watch a little less MSNBC- it causes brain damage in rats.

[amommamust]

Some good hearts in the heartland!

[MetaphorMediaKC]

@JessieAtheist Absolutely. And thanks.

[TheTruthArmy]

Allah bless you all

victory to the People!

[ntyranny1]

Great Short Documentary on why we Protest!

[PatrynXX]

best video I've seen. very well done!! some of us can't risk getting arrested. we'll lose our benefits. A sort of Govt bribe I suppose. But we still can protest. Online and showing up during the day at some protests. As in times of war though, the cops come out under cover of darkness to create violence.
