Occupy Vancouver: Woman Found Dead in Tent, Volatile Situation Erupts

[shisumi1]

see, government? people are dying for your greed. does that make you feel more powerful?

[GingerFish12]

@shisumi1 she died cause she plunged a needle full of smack in her mainline like all the rest of those junkie chimps. As if she was dying for the greed- but she sure needed that money to get her a bag. 

[rubsley]

Peaceful minds spread peace. Loving hearts spread love. All change comes from within.

[jeanpaulfelix]

Fuck Capitalism!!!

[wolfengheist]

Yeah Fuck Apple, Microsoft, Starbucks, Sony, Intel, Acer, Staples, etc. Who cares that these Capitalist corporations employ millions of people Fuck em all!

[hyack61]

They want the cameras when they want to look good but they dont want them to show the

reality of their actions.

[355000]

we have suffered greatly in british columbia, sometimes we must go together through the bad times to reach the good

[StuckInTheSky0]

That guy was fiming...so what...... the ambulance came for people who needed it..so what...what is wrong?

[DrCruel]

@StuckInTheSky0 These OWS outings are carefully orchestrated events. Most of the people who run these things tend to be very violent and unpleasant people, and when they lose control of a situation they tend to revert to their natural state.

[StuckInTheSky0]

@DrCruel O....;)

[Hoodyrulez]

rip stacy, poor crusty punks, they get mistreated

[lightningpwn]

I knew the girl who died, she O.D.'Ed on a mixture of cocaine and heroine. RIP Ashley

[looksomeletters]

Granted, I stopped by the other night and some aspects were interesting, like the People's Library which loaned books out on goodwill, and I tried to see if anyone would play chess (the Library has a set) or talk about the movement. Everyone was friendly, but they were just trying to get me drunk and high, and then into my pants so I left. :/

[looksomeletters]

It's interesting how the cameramen are being attacked when they're pretty much the lowest rung of the news machine. They just shoot, and everyone says, "That better be on the news" and "Let's see what your news is like." All he could was shrug, because he doesn't have anything to do with what makes it on air, unlike an editor with actual power. Reminds me of when I worked at a gas station and everyone asked me when the prices were going to change or why it was so high.

[DeportedAllan]

1:32 

[MrSuperFilmBuff]

fuck all this. I'd rather stay home and play Skyrim.

[wolfengheist]

Mostly democrat voters 

[mauryandcolleen]

What I find interesting is 95% of the crowd has no idea what the issues are.

[mauryandcolleen]

I say we give them as much drugs as they want.

[CryptWarrior69]

yea another dead druggie, these protests just a place for crack heads and fags to get together and do drugs

[sivazh]

Just another dead druggie. I see no problem here. Move along now.

[googlesbitch]

I see a similar pattern with all the recent deaths from OWS across Canada and U.S. Most were cases of drug over dose and had nothing to do with anything else. The lowest in society are drawn in to join this movement since they are lonely and have no goal in life. The power elite know this and will exploit it to divert attention to the real problem, out of control banking.

[9713564]

"THE GOVERNMENT IS JUST TOYING WITH YOU" REFERS TOO THAT THEY COULD END THE PROTEST IF THEY WANTED TOO BUT THEY KNOW THAT YOUR ALL A BUNCH OF WEAK BITCHES SO THEY WILL GO EASY ON YOU FUCKERS THEY HAVE STATE OF THE ART TECHNOLOGY WEAPONS AND OTHER THINGS YOU DON"T WANT TOO MESS AROUND WITH THE CANADIAN ARMY WILL RAPE AND BOMB YOUR ASS INTO PIECES YOU ARE NO MATCH AND THEREFORE WASTING YOUR LIVES THE GOVERNMENT IS NOT EVIL IN ANYWAY FUCKING DUMB COCK SUCKERS IF SO WE WOULD NOT BE HERE BY NOW!!!!!!

[canawareness]

@9713564 The government is not evil in anyway hahahahaha I love it!!!!!!

[roberthall87]

@9713564 I did start to read your comment... Then I realized you aren't educated in any way, it is clearly shown by your grammar and punctuation. This is why the corporate population is in control of morons like you. Under education and remaining closed minded is the cause of such ignorance. We have tax payer dollars being spent to keep police at a movement of so called "hippies"... Last I checked hippies were not dangerous.

[ugotcatfish]

@roberthall87 yea your so smart to occupie a park and not the white house and obama hes the one who gave out the bail outs and get more from wallstreet then anyone but hes you left wing walfare god u loser

[9713564]

I WANT TOO START A MOVEMENT CALLED " FUCK THE OCCUPY! " I WANT TOO DO THIS COUNTRY CANADA AND THE CITY A REAL DEED IN GETTING ASS WHOLES OUT OF THE WAY OF THE PUBLIC THAT IS A REAL CHANGE AND MOVEMENT AND ALL THAT WANT TOO HELP RIOT AND FIGHT THESE NO GOOD COCK SUCKERS ARE WELCOME SO JOIN THE NEW MOVEMENT AND TAKE OVER OUR CITY BACK THESE FUCKERS ARE JUST THE SAME PEOPLE THAT STARTED THE STANLEY CUP RIOT A BUNCH OF CON ARTISTS DON'T WORRY THE GOVERNMENT IS JUST TOYING WITH YOU HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[SupaNami]

now is a perfect time to start building Cages around these cesspools ... they wouldn't know what you were building

[reichertish]

political  Bunch of drug addicts. Might as well be woodstock without the good bands

[Xiethetuber]

FUCK THE GOVERNMENT!

[khunopie]

Heroin is a helluva drug

[enomismarie]

Idiots! I mean, come on people! This isn't the stupid Stanley Cup Riot here!

Why would these jerks just boss people around just to see a dying 23 year old woman? And plus that woman swearing a lot is so annoying!!!

GEEZ.

[andrewc2768]

It's ironic that these protesters want to deprive others of rights which are constitutional(at least in the US) like freedom of the press and freedom of speech. The guy with crutches going after the photographer looks like a zombie.

[dogterd]

How on earth can these fuckups pretend to represent anyone except the junkie-anarchist-welfare-recip­ient community. They're the worst ambassadors for any intellectual initiative I can think of.

[victor9245]

Another drug addict that is a victim of the capitalist system Haha? I want you dirtbags to elaborate on what system FORCES someone to use heroin. I think this a clear case of "Idle hands are the devil's tools" Every individual is responsible for their own actions. So it is time for these deadbeats to start doing some real work like cleaning the streets and the PUBLIC space they have been abusing for weeks.

Meanwhile their imaginary 1% actual start a company and create jobs.

[hellofaname]

@victor9245

"Idle hands are the devil's tools"

did you just name drop a god awful teen horror movie?

[sandycurrie108]

@victor9245 Actually, the Gov't allows the import of heroin.  The Port no longer has sniffer dogs. I find that strange, but it me just a rumour. Many people with who were abused by their own families try these drugs. I hear it helps with pain. Sadly, heroin is highly addictive & difficult for people to stop, like cigarettes. I have compassion for people who end up on the streets. Many are Canadian Military Veterans who have been broken by their duties overseas. I think help is needed?

[BjGard]

They think everyone should be paid 70 bucks an hour to decorate posters and have useless protests only relevant to their inside clique

Somebody HAS TO WORK because there are going to be useless pieces of shit out there. I have the privilege of being able to make fun of those parasites because I actually earn every cent and my tuition went to pay for their 15 dollar coffees imported from [Insert pathetic country here)

[MrProfire]

What a bunch of Fucking Low Life Losers that have zero support from the public anymore. Occupy Vancouver is going Bye Bye..........

[XSDarkMoonZX]

Fucking idiot. God damn it. I support the movement, but fuck, look at all of these pieces of trash. Most of them don't know what they're even doing there.

[bm2272]

@XSDarkMoonZX I support the movement too and i think it has valid issues. Its a shame that the issues are being overlooked when the riff rafts and drug addicts flock to the protest sites and overun the real protesters who are actually informed on the issues. And what a perfect opportunity for the mainstream cameras to discredit the movement by labelling all protesters as street bums.

[XSDarkMoonZX]

@bm2272: Yup. Well said.

[15Arigold]

Ashlie gough was nothing but a french dirtbag junkie. One less person on the government dole.

[Tonyshawnw]

I'm glad my province took no part in that shit. anyone who did is pathetic and needs to find a job.

[vsambulance3]

you people are the freaks

you all feel you have to put in your own to cents

keep your rude comments to your selves

[Unforgiven11]

Some of these protesters are so freaking pathetic it blows my mind. Trying to bat away the media covering it- why?

[RevyNai]

@MrRokNRoll Same with my city, London. I understand WHY people are pissed, but these Occupy things is the PERFECT example of Sheeples. "Oh everyone else is doing it, I will too, just to FEEL like I'm doing something cool". But they aren't ACTUALLY doing anything.

I've got a couple bags of popcorn ready in case a real leader emerges and takes control of these angry crowds. THAT will be interesting.

[Discosa]

its a protest, not somewhere to party and get fucked up.

[radscorpion8]

*great* protest guys! No specific goals, no timeline, and regression to a tyrannical "direct democracy" system. Lets just do drugs, litter, and camp out in public parks because hey everyone else is doing it, and we want to feel like revolutionaries. There are so many stories of events like this...I'm glad to hear other people speaking up. Its disgusting...I hope this ends soon

[MrMitchyCanuck]

I went down there to see what it was like but left after like 30 minutes after i realized the place was full of assholes.

[oakaveli]

@MrMitchyCanuck just like i wanted to go to a tea party rally...until i saw it was full of racist fucktards :P

[MrMitchyCanuck]

@oakaveli i didn't know i was a tea party member. 

[Hillsillverr]

@MrMitchyCanuck Are they still down there in this fucking cold ?

[savgal1211]

Drug Overdoes! Well, they hide the rapes, where might they have buried this girl?

[DaMav]

Moar!

[VCVTV]

This thing has turned into a cluster-f***. Let's not forget that there is a corporatocracy bleeding society dry through it's "democratic" institutions, and that presure needs to be kept on them to come clean. Sad about this young woman,but don't give up. FInd out about what "Vision Vancouver" really is-a front for globalizer Rockefeller and all that implies.

[winsettruffner]

You live in a park I should be able to come down to with my children and freely enjoy and photograph and "occupy" and then you have the audacity to smash the window of a machine and it's crew I pay for in order to attend to emergencies for my family??!!

Fuck off losers. That ambulance and those police could be out helping the people that actually pitch into a large communal pot but instead they're down there PEACEFULLY trying to help your druggie 'friend' while letting you act like animals!

[bjwiebe123]

i bet a bunch of these protesters are just broke and bored as fuck. i've been there too, but i ate budd-cookies and watched teletoon retro instead of bein a campin-out douchebag

[InvestWebbot]

Very Strange Middle Class People.

[AnarchoCapitalistTV]

@InvestWebbot indeed. i like the "let's see what your news is" bonghead at the end.

[Turbenator]

Arent these hippies the first ones to stick an i phone camera in the cops' faces but now they wont allow others to film them in a public park?

[HunkyTalkenMonkey01]

why on earth would someone do drugs at a protest?

[AnarchoCapitalistTV]

@HunkyTalkenMonkey01 because when you're hanging out with a bunch of primitivists spouting crap about historical materialism, the labour theory of value and the sanct "collective"... you need a coping mechanism.

[naboba]

good... dumb bitch was a junkie.

[AnarchoCapitalistTV]

@naboba ya mein fuhrer!

[matthewcouto]

Funny how the protestors want to kick media and the public out of the park. I think they forget this is a PUBLIC park and the PUBLIC have the right to be there. It wouldn't surprise me if someone died of a drug overdose... Time to go home!

[AnarchoCapitalistTV]

@matthewcouto ever considered that problem might have something to with the PUBLIC?

[matthewcouto]

@AnarchoCapitalistTV It's the public's fault that protestors are kicking people out of a public park? Now that makes sense... When protestors own a piece of land they can control who can or can not step foot on that land. While they are occupying land owned by the city they have no business kicking anyone out. Thanks.

[zakunster1]

Cry me a fucking river.

[DaveSquibbSr]

time to end this before more die

[yankeegal01]

Why aren't the police walking through the camps with drug dogs? Something I wonder, along with why aren't police enforcing the laws of walking in the streets. And funny how the occupiers want to talk to the media, but yet when the media shows up when something negative happens, they want the media to disappear.

[mlca1000]

@yankeegal01 "why aren't police enforcing the laws of walking in the streets" Ha! I'll remember that comment for a while.

[evelynjoyce]

Mayor Robertson and wingnut mayoral candidate Anton pretend to care about a homeless person to close Occupy Vancouver down is what is really going on. Homeless people are not cared about by our politicians who consistently put business interests and profits first. Anyone who lives in Vancouver knows this is true. They spent hundreds of millions on a stadium roof for sports, they don't care about people at all.

[rezdoglatte]

@ClubsOfHearts Sorry to hear of your experience while there. Mine was different.

[Ezdduf4kuZ]

GIVING OUT FREE FOOD ATTRACTS THE POOR PEOPLE/TROUBLE AND SO IT'S OBVIOUS THAT THOSE THAT REALLY AREN'T INVOLVED WITH TENT CITY ARE TAKING ADVNTAGE OF THE FREE HANDOUTS AND CAN MAKE FOR ADDED PROBLEMS....YOU HAVE TO DRAW THE LINE S TO WHO'S HERE FOR REAL ..i'M AGAINST THE INJECTION SITE & AS FOR A GREEN CROSS...IF IT'S SUCH A GOOD THING HOW COME ALL THE MAJOR CITIES DON'T ADHERE TO VANCOUVER'S POLICY OF DISPENCING MORE AFFORDABLE WEED TO THOSE WHO ARE ELIGIBLE & IN NEED @ DOCTORS ORDERS! ..THX.

[bowenbuoy]

Tragic circumstances....but the Occupy movement must carry on. This happens everyday in the Vancouver Downtown Eastside, but most don't notice. The comments by some are regrettable, but only highlight the ignorance....they too are only a pay cheque away from living on the street.

[scrappincanadiangirl]

@bowenbuoy many are indeed a paycheque away from homelessnes but that does not neccessarily equal to drug use and / or living on the street. Many people become homeless and then become soluble again. It is not easy, but it can be done without drugs and living in a doorway.

[BishopAdamair]

This is what these leftist fucks think about free speech.

[evelynjoyce]

@BishopAdamair Leftist? Vancouver's politicians are right wing, idiot.

[BishopAdamair]

@evelynjoyce I wasn't talking about the fucking politicians moron. Can you read? Are you telling me the socialist/neo-marxist pukes at these events are right wing?

[waterloojew]

Please leave the art gallery now or I am going to start kicking your tents in. You people are so gross and misinformed. You have been warned.

[jboritzki]

I heard that someone at the Occupy Bloomington, IN was just found dead as well. I was told it was alcohol related but I cannot verify that.

[RunForrestRun04]

The world has 7 billion people. I guess this is one way to solve the problem

[bgd360]

Here's a clue: if someone young dies at your 'protest', regardless the circumstances, it's a disaster!

[AllTheseWorldsAreUrs]

@bgd360 What? There's a massive gap in your logic there. Care to fill it?

[AssHatSockPuppet]

This is the "Entitlement Generation" exposed. There couldn't be a greater case made to break up the government run education system we have.

The voted for OweBama last election and will do so next election. Although they say they are protesting the Wall St bailouts it is only Wall St they disagree with. Keep the bailout gravy train rolling!

[DMartyr11]

Remember the Tea Partiers who died from drug overdoses?

Oh, wait...

There were NO overdoses at Tea Parties!!

[ElHasZardo]

@DMartyr11 and?

[oakaveli]

@DMartyr11 but there were racists in attendance though....

[RedSkiesAwaitUs]

@DMartyr11 Because retarded inbreed conservafucks don't do drugs.. Not because they do want to, their imaginary friend in the sky tells them not to. Plus OWS is a multitude bigger than the tea party and so statistically the chances of something like this happening rise.

Overall, I'd rather have a bunch of hippies doing drugs than listen to Cletus tell us for the hundredth time why ''dem Muslims be takin ovur''

[wolfengheist]

Yep No drug addicts have overdose at any tea party unlike these OWS fuxs. And BTW OWS in the US are not bigger than the TPM. The TPM had rallies even in the blue states. OWS is mostly concentrated in the Blue States like Oakland.

[toof]

@wolfengheist Oakland is not a state BTW

[wolfengheist]

Your right my mistake.

[jeanpaulfelix]

@RedSkiesAwaitUs

Right-wing retards still engage in more pervers sexual acts despite all this imaginary friend bull-shit.....Just look at the Church lol.....Would rather have hippies fucking in the park than some hi-fi priest peddling their bull-shit

[jblackrupert]

@DMartyr11

No rapes, robberies or assaults either.

[DidHeDied]

Stupid hippies. He can film whatever the fuck he wants to film. You have no right to tell him to stop. If he wants to films the events, he can do it. When you're camping out in public, you should expect to be filmed.

[JewUnit6]

@ClubsOfHearts it is the right of the people to assemble what do you mean whyn are they "letting" them they have to stoppnig them would be illegal

[MrSupertwo]

Greatest City in the World!!!

[bgd360]

Hey she died doing what she loved!

[bgd360]

Yeah the occupiers love the 'good' publicity....

What a bunch of LOSERS!!

[JewUnit6]

@bgd36 how are they losers because some chick overdosed so now they r all losers, ppl od every day n that is their own problem why should this affect the reputation of the protesters at all?

[DidHeDied]

@JewUnit6 They are fucking losers because they ruin the image of the occupy protesters.

[MrBrational]

@JewUnit6 people OD every day at the occupy Vancouver, bunch of junkies looking for a handout

[Stryder46]

I like the guy I hear say "It's not a fucking freak show". Actually, Sparky, it IS a fucking freakshow.

[SpankMeNasty]

Drug overdose is just natures way of weeding out the stupid. One less waste of space junkie in the world is good news for the tax payers.

[Daskathedral]

this girl was my friend and these people are my family, you have no idea how upset some people are by this at the camp.

[DidHeDied]

@Daskathedral You should blame your friend, making everyone around her miserable by her selfish drug abuse. Also, when you're out in public, people have every right to film the events. Your group at the 'camp' was harassing anyone who tried to film, which is just uncalled for. If you don't want to be on camera, you shouldn't be out in public, especially not doing drugs in public. This is just retarded, and you're giving the occupy protesters a bad name.

[00StangGT00]

get all these losers out of here i'm fucking tired of these people, look at these idiots he starts smashing a fucking ambulance are you kidding me? these people are all drug addicted wastes of life that want money for not working so they can feed their addictions

[avbpkakashi]

@ClubsOfHearts i think these protesters are stupid and should be removed as well.... but our rights such as the right to public assembly, which sometimes gets abused, is what makes canada great...

[rezdoglatte]

Well made piece on unfortunate tragedy. In my video it's clear that Oakland's masses were peaceful and clear in their message of economic justice for all.

[fishteeth2]

Like the American Occutards, the Canadian versions don't understand the first thing about the law. They think they've actually taken over part of the city and can now make their own rules. A mighty disappointment is nigh, accompanied by much wailing and gnashing of teeth.

[butchnews]

Good video. Regards from Butch.

[menzelcassini]

"It's not a fucking freak show!"

Actually it's the definition of a freak show.

[dmcindc]

"It's not a freak show" ... oh but it is!

[DewitDr]

@dmcindc And so war is not a freakshow?

[dmcindc]

@DewitDr War? Pfft!!!!!! Baaaaa ha ha ha ha ha!!!! Too funny. The only war going on is inside these freaks heads.

[DewitDr]

@dmcindc Im not talking about the "class war" Im talking about the war that went on in iraq and vietnam. I find it funny one woman dies from overdose and everyone is throwing a shaming eye, but the wars have taken thousands upon thousands of lives and yet don't put up half a fuss.

[kevdude421]

I'm sick of this fucking tent city.

[MysTerrier]

The ODes that have happened at OV would have happened somewhere else if not there. The reason she died is that someone let heroin into our country; it doesn't grow here.

[Gromitdog1]

@MysTerrier better yet 'our boys' were over in Afghanistan protecting the poppy fields.

[jbzdyk]

@MysTerrier she would have died of some other addiction or even worse stayed alive and continue to be an addict and suck the life from anyone close to her.

[jblackrupert]

Why are they not protesting the Housing advocates who are getting paid $20/hr or more and occupying subsidized housing.

One of the housing advocates in Vancouver occupies subsidized housing and owns a beach front home in Mexico.

[jblackrupert]

They want anarchy, crime, filth and anger to fester at all the sites. thats why the leaders are ordering people to NOT report rapes, robberies and assaults.

others are just the poverty pimps doing their things to get funding for jobs for themselves and their friends.

Why are these people not asking the folks at DERA where the $500,000 went?

Why are the people not protesting at the person who runs the Carnegie Centre and gets paid $1,000,000 a year?

[DforDelinquent]

It appears that the majority of these protestors are drug addicted vagrants and other societal misfits. Their cause may be noble but with these idiots running the show this protest has become a joke.

The mayor needs to order these people out NOW. They've overstayed their welcome.

[STEVEDIGIBOYtv]

@DforDelinquent

. Your immune to the 13 trillion dollar depression south of the border? LOL! give it a year or two you may be in a tent too. 40 000+ in the streets of Oakland and several states and you think these people that are not drunks or abused kids are going to quit? LOL! sit back watch food $'s rise in next 6 months.

[jblackrupert]

The people running this chose to invite the homeless, the drug users and the people with mental health issues down there to boost their numbers and use them as canon fodder for the coming battle with police they want to happen.

This isn't about demoncracy, high taxes, jobs or anything of the sort, this was started by people at Adbusters who are Marxists/Communists and anti-everything anarchists.

The weak people are being used and the 99% lied to.

[treetreeplant]

Those people need to get back to Commercial Street. They are aggressive and combative.

[davidjohn83]

i wonder why? what happened? can u say more?

[bulletproofcourier]

@davidjohn83 Drug overdose is suspected but unconfirmed. Earlier this week, an overdose patient was transported to the hospital and recovered. I have another clip, not included in this video, featuring two groups of protesters yelling angrily at each other, one side accusing the other of bringing ill repute to the Occupy Vancouver protest by doing drugs.

[STEVEDIGIBOYtv]

@davidjohn83

Another homeless person and child of Canada's failed system died among people that cared. Unlike the Mayor that gave a talk and would not address the deaths just blocks away on Hastings.

[davidjohn83]

@STEVEDIGIBOYtv why did she die? or the homeless people die?
