How many poor people have ever created even one job? Why are these people not out looking for jobs instead of costing us money by having to have more police on stand by?
You cannot deal with the dregs of society in a peaceful way because they will shout you down and get violent. I fully believe in the constitutional rights that we as citizens of this great country possess and are free to exercise however, these protestors show no respect for anyone or anything and their reputation preceeds them from coast to coast. Seems like the only talent they possess is to repeatedly chant mindless phrases like sheep. They should take a lesson or two from the TEA PARTY !?!
@RainbowBabe151 Bringing a kid to a protest where at any moment it could take a violent turn is flat our child endangerment. It's like smoking while you're pregnant, the kid gets no say in it and has no idea what is going on. 0
@LadyLiberty1885 I see what your saying and for me it depends on there age. What I mean is, no, I wouldn't bring a small child, I would however bring say, a teenager. Its important teens be active in their community. If you just meant the 5-10 year olds in the video, I agree, I wouldn't have brought a child that young.
@RainbowBabe151 I'm relieved to hear that. Someone in their teens at least can run if need be. Having said that, Raleigh's protests that I have seen footage off seem to be more tame than other areas like Oakland for example. Larger urban camps have some real horror stories coming out of them.
@fal2grace They were blocking the sidewalk. They were asked to move back. They refused. They were arrested. Don't be fooled by bullshit protest tactics.
But Margaret Schucker, 57, of Raleigh, told the police that she had back problems and needed the chair she was sitting in to participate in the Occupy Raleigh demonstration. She had a blue and white handicapped permit affixed to her chest. When police moved to arrest her, other demonstrators clustered around her and were arrested, too.
Schucker was charged with second-degree trespassing and released without posting bail about two hours after her arrest.
Eight people have been arrested in Raleigh when authorities said some anti-Wall Street protesters on the sidewalk next to the old Capitol building grounds in Raleigh didn't comply with instructions to remove their belongings.
I feel NC is not the best place for protests/ civil right movements... Not part of the tradition?

By the way, those of you who brought your kids to this should be the ones having SHAME yelled at them. That's beyond appalling.
