[Trainking922]

THESE FOOLS NEED TO STFU ALREADY AND GO GET A JOB!!! THEY ARE REALLY STARTING TO PISS ME OFF!!!

[yourtreat2]

We're going to share the pain with you assholes that support corruption, while 1 in 5 Americans live in poverty, and you shamelessly say they don't want to work.

Say" Hello" to the working poor, the 1 in 5 that include them.

Say" Hello" to the 40% that work but can't make enough money to support themselves.

Say" Hello" to your economy as it disintegrates when over 1 MILLION defaulted loans are FINALLY DECLARED AS FORECLOSURES.

Say" Hello" to the next biblical economic crash, and STFU Pigs.

[WindupGirI]

Freaking idiots. Don‘t they realize that by doing this they’re hurting dock workers? Some of whom have only recently found work again? The very people they claim to represent? I hope these scum occupy a shipping container and get thrown into the ocean by a bunch the WORKING people.

[andrewr62]

By disrupting the port the Occupy movement is hurting the very people the claim to represent.

Large companies such as Apple actually fly in in their products. Small to medium business are those most effected by shutting down the ports. Idiots you are losing the support of the people you claim to represent. The Longshore unions have abandoned you. Your extreme views really represent less than 10% of American public. You certainly do not represent me.

[TheMichael408]

@andrewr62 extremely true

[austinoshie57]

why cant the occupiers just take a shower and get a job application.

[SmurfSmurf701]

@austinoshie57 hehe your ignorance ashamed me that i'm human. Get a education.

[DreMPC]

From: An Open Letter from America’s Port Truck Drivers on Occupy the Ports. "We are the front-line workers who haul container rigs full of imported & exported goods to & from the docks and warehouses.

We've been elected by committees of our co-workers at the Ports of L.A., Long Beach, Oakland, Seattle, Tacoma, New York & New Jersey to tell our collective story. We have accepted the honor to speak up for our brothers & sisters about our working conditions despite the risk of retaliation we face."

[1Makyo]

@DreMPC But not supporting the occupy shut down.

[DreMPC]

@1Makyo In the article once again called :An Open Letter from America’s Port Truck Drivers on Occupy the Ports. They state "But we believe in the power and potential behind a truly united 99%. We admire the strength and perseverance of the longshoremen. We are fighting like mad to overcome our exploitation, so please, stick by us long after December 12." That sounds like support of the shut down to me. Anything to bring awareness to them is good for their message.

[1Makyo]

@DreMPC You could join the 46%. Those on food stamps. Impeach Obama

[DreMPC]

@1Makyo your apathy is duly noted. Hear no evil see no evil and keep on trucking. I wish you luck.

[DreMPC]

Nowadays greedy corporations are treated as “people” while the politicians they bankroll cast union members who try to improve their workplaces as “thugs.”

But we believe in the power and potential behind a truly united 99%. We admire the strength and perseverance of the longshoremen. We are fighting like mad to overcome our exploitation, so please, stick by us long after December 12.

Thank you.

They try to stop me from getting to my job and there are going to be a lot of dead hippies...

[DreMPC]

@methyou I got my money on the hippies:)

[methyou]

@DreMPC I'll take that bet.

[tonyjohnston]

Ron Paul 2012!

[1Makyo]

Terrorists have infiltrated this "occupy the ports" movement. Great cover for their nefarious activities. Obama will take advantage of this to implement Martial Law to test how the American people will react to it.

[1Makyo]

Occupy San Diego is a no show. Defunct.

[InvestWebbot]

Did you guys know Police get paid about 200,000 to crack down and destroy OWS from knowing too much secrets?

Government and Corporation paid the police to remove OWS.

[James92802]

@InvestWebbot Why YES I did know that - EVERYONE that has a tin foil hat knows THAT. Duh

[ladylordess]

This is where the protesters rights end. When you infringe on another persons right to work, function or exist, you forfeit your "rights".

Protest the White House, who are about to bail out the EU!! Useful Idiots.

[2bRealist]

@ladylordess The White House is NOT going to bailout anybody, nor do they have the power to do so... IT'S THE FED!! The Federal Reserve, a PRIVATE bank. Uses OUR money to bail out other banks!!

[1Makyo]

@2bRealist The White House has NO influence on what the fed does. Some ignorant people think that just because the President of the United states living in the White House APPOINTS both the Secretary of the Treasury and the chairman of the Federal Reserve , and can fire them at will, well, they think the White House has some power over, influences, what the monetary policy is and sponsors bailouts. Some morons believe that the Fed is an independent body that lives in a vacuum.

[InvestWebbot]

@2bRealist Well, what can you do? National Debt clock is $15 trillion. Criminals is Criminals. There's no way more people will protest to stop the government from bailing out more failing companies.

[1Makyo]

@InvestWebbot Fewer companies left to bail out. plans are for Coca Cola and McDonalds and 3M and Caterpillar are getting out of Dodge.

[ladylordess]

@2bRealist Care to wager a $1 bet??? Obama's admin WILL authorize a bailout!!

[DJINEVIL2323]

The ILWU is supporting this. The reporter hasn't checked his facts.

[SharkDude1]

@twocentsin6 Theres no way in hell these Occupy people are going to get into the ports around me (Los Angeles ports) without getting arrested Just Trying too. The ports over here have SO much security, since 9-11. If they do get in, I will be so surprised, As for the long shorman, lol!! Occcupy vrs Long shorman, now that would be fuuny to watch!!

[DJINEVIL2323]

@SharkDude1 The ILWU is supporting this action, and was very involved with the Oakland port shut-down.

[DJINEVIL2323]

@SharkDude1 The ports of the West Coast are a huge source of profits for these modern day robber barons In solidarity with the Longshore Workers and truck drivers and their struggles against companies like Goldman Sachs and EGT, we call on the people of the 99% to join us in this historic day of action. From San Diego to Los Angeles to Portland to Anchorage, we will show the economic overlords and financial vultures the true scope of our combined power. Together we are unstoppable.

[SharkDude1]

I used to be a big supporter of the Occupy movement when they where targeting the banks, and the rich who ARE the problem! But now, they are targeting shipyards?? Why? Those truckers didn't get bailouts and send this nation into a recession. THE GOVERNMENT AND BANK BAILOUTS DID!!!! So why are you not protesting the banks, and Government sites anymore? You have lost your cause when you block ship yards. People who work there need an income, why do you want them to suffer too?

[Shyguy419]

@SharkDude1 I think they are doing this for one reason. They actually make an impact. Think about it, protesting the banks or government buildings results in them standing outside while they perform their corrupt tactics in peace. Shutting down a port actually gets attention, and has an effect on people no matter who they are.

[SharkDude1]

@Shyguy419 They got attention before when they where on the right path, but now the attention they will be getting is going to be even more worse. The media is going to have a field day with the Occupy movement now. Heck, in these crazy times, the media might even call them "Terriorists" lol!!

[thedude44963]

@Shyguy419 OR THIS WILL MAKE THE PRICE OF SHIT GO UP JUST BECAUSE SOME HIPPIES PARENTS DIDNT TEACH THEIR KID HOW TO WORK AND SAVEE MONEY LMAO NO LOOK THESE FUCK TARDS ACULLY THINK STOP A PORT FOR A DAY OR EVEN 20 MINS IS A VICTORY LOL IN 24 GUESS WHAT THEY WILL BE MOVING AGAIN

[methyou]

@Shyguy419 That's the same argument Osama Bin Laden made...

[DJINEVIL2323]

@SharkDude1 The ILWU supports this action, get educated about this before you speak.

[demonicanthonyalbert]

@C4P1T4L15M Also the qpeople who is behind the anarchic movemtn are Adbusters(Anti-semite/holocaus­t denier,and conspiracy theorist) and Anonymous (cyber terrorists,anarchists,holocaus­t deniers,and conspiracy theorists) they don't even realize that they are just pawns. They should do their resaearch before just painting something good.

[i8hy6e3]

why do they have no job? I see jobs everywhere.

[Theuf28]

@i8hy6e3 when you studied for 5 years, and have over 50000$ in depts, i dont think you will search for the corner store job, you moron... THINK before opening you stupid mouth... theres jobs, but those job arent the ones those students want. You think they are going to repay their due with a 10$ an hour job?... omg.. such stupidity in one person

[patwas42]

@Theuf28 Apparently you don't have debts from studying because you cant spell debts. It's not depts it's debts. And jobs are jobs. A beggar cant be a chooser.

[Theuf28]

@patwas42 You probably didnt had any trouble in life do you... THOSE ARENT BEGGARS.. and im not ENGLISH.. so fuck your gramatical lessons...JOBS are JOBS right, but still, why would you work for 250$ a week, when you have to pay over 400$... you make me sick, seriously, get a fucking grip of the world you are living in moron, and see that ITS NOT RIGHT.

[patwas42]

@Theuf28 You are sick my friend. People like you think everything is going to be served to you on a silver plater. I got a job a 15 and I have been working ever since. So shut the fuck up, deal with the world you are in and stop bitching about the world.

[i8hy6e3]

@Theuf28 I would think before I study something you stupid moron. and I am not stupid. I said there are jobs everywhere. I didnt say about their problems. and I think the people who can't predict their future are same with the animals. even if you have the intelligence of human, if you are stupid and selfish, all you are same with the animals. they studied for 5 years. and they can do nothing? what a ridiculus situation and useless they are. but still there r so many ways to make money.

[i8hy6e3]

@Theuf28 and I dont think I must have a job to make money.

[i8hy6e3]

@Theuf28 most you are very selfish with money. it is why most you want the nuclear plants even if there are more good ways instead of nuclear plants. selfish people are stupid. make your mind empty like the nothing. and be meaningful.

[AmericanRebel1776]

@i8hy6e3 the fuck there is

[i8hy6e3]

@AmericanRebel1776 whats mean by that?

[MrHotroddoc]

Wow, when will this BS stop

[demonicanthonyalbert]

@MrHotroddoc Sadly when the shepards Adbusters,and Anonymous says so. So it may take awhile..

[settinitstraightmate]

@C4P1T4L15M you don't get it dodo... have u seen whats worked worldwide? seen what the 99% have achieved in Bolivia?

[Armando7654]

communism is a disease

[Jasoncrim]

@C4P1T4L15M shut the fuck up shit bag! Targeting innocent workers my ass.. fuck off shit bag

[evil001987]

The only reasonable thing to protest of about is to get rid of bigger companies influence over US politics.

There are supporters of that movement.

The protesters agree that have to go.

They can protest without it destroying for innocent people.

Now they are stopping lower class people to get to their job, because THEY think these people gets exploited on their job. Do they expect to get more supporters this way or what?

[demonicanthonyalbert]

@evil001987 What about the religous power over govenment...Most of the anti-choice bills we have are because of religion.

[DonF72]

Longshoremen make $20/hr. to START and they're part of a comfy union. I don't understand why they're in the same boat as the protesters. And as far as I know, you can only become a longshoreman through personal referrals from inside the company.

[lancelottodd]

What a bunch of bratty little shits. The good news is they're going to eat themselves when they start doing shit like this. They're trying to actually have an impact on people's money (ie., their parent's money) now so hopefully..hopefully..their parents will wake up and go "whoa, whoa now!" and threaten to stop paying for their rent and their iPhone and their t-shirts if they don't shut the fuck up and get a goddamn job.

[Jasoncrim]

@lancelottodd your a flaming moron!

[lancelottodd]

@Jasoncrim

Riiight.

Anyway, wasn't this ostensibly about banks? I thought this was about sub-prime lending and college loans.

What does occupying a port have to do with anything? I'm telling you, once these hipster twats realize that Apple products are only DESIGNED in California, but are actually imported from Chinese slave labor.. the ports will no longer be occupied. The iPhones must flow!

[wReCktangle]

Go FUCK yourselves.

[Jasoncrim]

@dreamdiction yup

[TrickyState]

no ad?
