If we had wanted to storm the building, we could so easily have done so. We had 800 people, more than enough to get in were it not for the fact that Occupy DC organizers are big on nonviolence.
What you see in this video is simply an effort to keep the front doors CLOSED, not open. We did not TRY to storm the event, we SUCESSFULLY besieged it!
@lukefromdc you had 400 people at most. I was there with AFP. You p.o.s. And your group wasn't nonviolent. An old lady, that I met the next day, was knocked down. I also loved tje occupydc "mother' that used her children to block doors. Not only that but the occupy "woman" that jumped on the hood of a Mercedes and tried to get the driver framed was real classy too. Oh, and you didn't "besiege" it. We all walked back to our hotels just fine.

What gives these idiots the "right" to try to storm a private event that they did NOT pay for? This nothing more than the actions of a mob attempting to intimidate others.
These people should have all been arrested for trespassing at the bare minimum.
@ClubsOfHearts So far, the violence has largely been on the part of the police, not the protesters. I'm worried that that may change. I think some people see the protesters as being violent - by a very large margin that's false. The violence has been directed AT them, not from them. The tiny minority of those who may have been guilty of those things are loudly condemned by the rest of them.
@xplorva Unfortunately, the corporate media has worked hard at creating the myth that the protesters are violent, and based on some of the comments here, at least the ones not from tea baggers who lie about everything anyway, people believe what they are hearing from the media. The only violence that hasn't come from the police so far was after the Oakland General Strike when about 100 black block members and agent provacateurs, unaffiliated with OWS, broke windows and lit fires.
@nrf91 The liberal corporate media has done nothing of the sort, and in fact has supported you. You claim to represent 99% of the population, but that is a lie. You don't represent myself, or anyone with my political leanings, and we are far larger then 1%. I also love how anyone that so much as jaywalks is an agent provocateur, or black. Feel free to reply on your corporate computer, using corp electricity, corp Internet provider, corp goggle, and corp youtube. You corp hypocrite.
@nrf91 The media has done its level best to make these ridiculous protests sound about the same as Tea Parties. Look up the #occupywallstreet rap sheet and find out just what the media isn't reporting.
@xplorva So I guess the whole foods in oakland smashed in it's own windows. The building in Fort Collins set itself on fire. The cop in Denver knocked himself of his bike. The women in the ows encampment raped themselves. Now we see here ows is trying to forcibly enter a building in order to disrupt someone else's free speech, and I don' just see one or two people here. No sir your claims that the ows is non violent is a lie.
@NBC1059 Whatever of these claims that are true, I totally decry and so do the vast majority of the people in the movement. We cannot condone that behavior. When you have a movement this big, it's impossible to control the actions of a minority. See nrf91's response - I agree with them.
@xplorva A movement this big? I saw an estimate that there were about 70,000 participating nationwide. That would barely fill a college sports stadium. This "movement" is irrelevant.
@NBC1059 Talk about totally misrepresenting what you see before your eyes. Trying to forcibly enter a building? That is clearly not what is happening in this video. Additionally, if you consider this video to depict violence, I would suggest that you need a psychiatrist. And you whine about disruption of someone else's right to speak? Did you feel that way when tea baggers shouted down anyone who disagreed with them at Obamacare town halls? Or is free speech only for the 1% and their sheep?
@nrf91 You shouldn't use the term Obamacare. President Obama doesn't like it, and someone may report you to attack watch. Now are these the same town halls where union thugs physically attacked anyone with an opposing view? As for the video I see a bunch of spoiled white people screaming, and beating on doors in a threatening manner, while some are trying to shove past the black security officers. Frankly I found the whole scene smacked of racism sir.
@NBC1059 the protesters stopped the people who were breaking the windows of the whole foods, at risk to themselves. The Oakland police themselves said that the protests were largely peaceful and that the few incidents of violence there were appeared to be from a small group not aligned with the larger protest (and notable because they dressed in all black with black hoodies). I won't discuss the much worse violence committed on the protesters by the police because you don't care about that.
@ultramegachicken68 Wow so the protesters found it impossible to separate themselves from a group dressed in such a manner. Is largely peaceful the same as peaceful now? And since the oakland pd said something you agree with they are no longer violent fascist thugs that lie about your movement and send agent provocateurs in to disrupt your permitless march that shut down businesses, and the port? A port thats main export is food to asia. Food for the poor and children. Do you want them to starve
@NBC1059 Actually, instead of separating themselves, they tried to stop them--at least where breaking the Whole Foods windows were concerned. As far as the police are concerned, they are violent fascist thugs when they act like thugs, that's all. When they club nonviolent veterans who are just walking home from a protest and rupture his spleen. Things like that.
@ultramegachicken68 the police can either be evil thugs, or imparcial enforcers of the law. In one post you use them to say that the protest were "largely peaceful", which means peaceful in ows doublespeak, and in the other the are thugs. You can not have it both ways sir. You can not demand government take more control, and at the same time not trample your liberty. According to the Obama administration veterans are terrorist. So you can blame the president for the vets being beaten
@NBC1059 I think we are not communicating. Police are thugs when they act like thugs. When they don't act like thugs, they aren't thugs. As far as the police saying the protest was peaceful, it's remarkable that the very group that has been hostile to the protesters doesn't accuse the protesters of violence. If even they don't have anything bad to say, why would you?
@NBC1059 Also, it seems like you're having a conversation with someone else. I haven't said anything about Obama. Nor have I said anything about government taking more control, or about government at all other than the government of Oakland CA as embodied in its police department. You're fighting about ideas that I haven't even started talking about. And, in the case of Obama, that I don't even want to talk about. Talk about irrelevance.
@ultramegachicken68 You brought up veterans being beaten by the police. I brought up that the current administration has classified veterans as terrorist. The theme's of the ows ranges for taxing, and regulate businesses, and the 1% more, to total destruction of capitalism in the US. Either would require more government control to accomplish, and if the police are thugs then the gov that controls them must be thugs, which means you are asking a thug gov to take more control. Do try and keep up
@ftsmallwood I think I can answer that. A lot of us voted for Obama, buying into the "hope and change" thing. We've been waiting...and waiting...and waiting. Now we're starting to see that the Democrats, for all their populist rhetoric are pretty damn corrupt, but not as badly as the Republicans are. So - we're not happy with the Dems, but I think we may secretly hold out some hope on their side, but we're totally disgusted with Republican fascists.
Really, I'm not 100% against some of their complaints, but their solutions are 100% wrong. The occupiers seem to be getting increasingly violent. Most likely there will shortly be some type of violent incident which will result in all the occupations shutting down. There just wasn't any reason to block the conventions center. They occupiers are making themselves very partisan by attacking GOP figures and events. Is that all they're about.? How about occupying the Fed or The White House?
@ftsmallwood You seem pretty rational, and I agree with most of your points. I support the main gist of the movement, but if - and ONLY if the movement remains non-violent. Actually, people resorting to property destruction, violence, etc. do nothing but undermine public support, and no one should denounce them more loudly than their peers - I certainly do! When you have that many people marching through a town, it's hard not to block traffic. We need to occupy the Fed and the White Hse alright!
@BlueSkies360 I've been trying to answer your questions, but apparently Youtube doesn't allow embedding. I'm not against people being rich - that's just capitalism at work. If they get there and maintain their position honestly, then I salute them. I find it's usually not the entrepreneurial types that we're having the problem with - it's the corporate bigwigs who hire lobbyists and give out huge campaign contributions and expect government favoritism. Capitalism should be about equal (cont)
@BlueSkies360 (pt 2) opportunity, not favoritism. When corporations are allied with government, that's fascism, and it kills democracy and true capitalism. The middle class has been gradually slipping down toward poverty for the last 30 years. There's a youtube video called "How the Middle Class Got Screwed" that may help you understand. Google "war on the middle class" and read the Commondreams article that comes up, titled "It's official:Rich declare war on the middle class".
@pgthinker007 AFP is "Americans for Prosperity", a "grassroots" group established by the Koch brothers, 2 libertarian oil billionaires, for the purpose of deregulating their business interests and removing their tax burden. AFP funded and took part in many of the tea party events.
@BlueSkies360 As a matter of fact, I've donated plenty to promote liberty. But the liberty I promote is one for all Americans, not one that is to the benefit of the top 1% at the expense of the 99%. Those of you who think you are promoting liberty by donating to AFP are fools. The 99% and OWS fights for you. You are just too blinded by ideology to recognize it, or to recognize who the real enemies of liberty are. I'll give you a hint: oil billionaires who fund astroturf movements.
@BlueSkies360 I promote liberty from the corruption caused by crony capitalism. I promote regulated capitalism. I promote individual liberties as found in the US constitution. I support democracy. I support equal rights. I support a society that fosters a middle class and takes care of its poor. I support the 99%. OccupyWallStreet!
@nrf91 No, you do not support idividual liberties, for you violate other peoples property rights by forced entry. No, you do not support equal rights, for you want productive people to pay more in taxes than unproductives and you want one class robbed (by the force of taxation) to benefit another class (of your choice). No, you do not support Constitution, for you want a democracy, but the Constitution defines our country as a REPUBLIC. It means a country of laws, not majority rule.
You are nothing more than a marxist thug. You represent the other 1%, the one that wants a cradle to grave free ride. I agree (and would say most libertarians do) that the 1% you are protesting should not have been given bailout money. Yes government and business should be more seperate than they are, and laws should be more firmly applied to corporations. But I'll be damned setting things right means you leaches are given any measure of power.
@BlueSkies360 Sorry - last one. I'm not out to undermine capitalism, but rather, to save it from death via corruption and corporatism. I think the people who are socialists in the movement are so because they wrongly attribute the ills we're seeing to capitalism. I do think that businesses should be regulated by the government to ensure protection of consumers, workers and the environment, though. Hope this helps!
@nrf91 Not to be confused with george soros a liberal billionaire who makes his money by destroying the economies of entire countries, and impoverishing tens of millions of people causing untold suffering, and groups he funds like media matters, and others, for the sole purpose of undermining the United States. Wow he sounds like a real gem.
I fully endorse a good, old-fashioned police beatdown. As a working 99%'er, I'd happily support funding those protecting and serving us, to club any of these criminals getting in the way of *my* freedoms.
@BeyondLame I am beginning to learn that sometimes the appropriate channels are not for the good of everyone and therefore sometimes it my be appropriate to be outside the law.
I am the 99%. I have a job and it's pretty cool and I make decent money, so I guess I'm too busy contributing to the economy to circle jerk in front of rich-looking building with other smelly hippies.
Also, I know how to play marching snare.....and what the fuck is that kid doing banging a drum head with a mallet? At least he won't have but a few more days to annoy people with it before the head tears.
What we have here is people who want equality of outcome regardless of their choices & decisions. It's not that they are against Wall St bailouts, they are against the Wall St. - keep the bailouts coming!
@xplorva What does that mean? How is democracy affected? Is there not enough democracy, when people can shout and pee at the steps of a private building?
This is embarrassing. If the tea party had done this to congress, we would have been arrested. But police allow this unruly mob of losers to intimidate private citizens. This is not a peaceful protest or a peaceful losers. These are malcontents, deadbeats, & socialists.
@erintrah Not hurting anyone physically? They knocked over 3 women over 60 years old onto the ground. They also physically pushed several older men trying to leave the event
They also placed young children at the door to try and use as a shield. The video is all on the daily caller
@kevtheweb ok, got me there. that is completely unacceptable. hurting anyone in an attempt to push your message or ideology is completely unacceptable.
@jschroeffel Bullshit. Tea baggers carry loaded weapons to their events and nobody does a thing about it. The reason tea baggers will never get arrested is because they do not challenge the 1%. They are tools of the 1%. They are the modern day brown shirted servants of the authoritarian establishment. It is little wonder that you all look at those who actually DO challenge the forces of authority and inequality with such disdain.
@nrf91 You don't challenge any authority. You LOVE central planning and statism. Why else would you attack association that wants to reduce regulation and taxes (slavery).
@BlueSkies360 Regulation and taxes are the cornerstone of any fair, decent and working society. A society, just like the Monopoly game you played when you were a child, must have rules and regulations in order to prevent those who would cheat and steal from taking over the bank and twisting the game to their own ends. Taxes are nothing more than membership dues to make sure you have decent and safe roads, bridges, food, housing, etc. If you want to live somewhere that has no rules, try Somalia.
@nrf91 Ah yes. We must send taxes ever higher or we'll end up like that bastion of unbridled capitalism, Somalia. (BTW, Somalia has lots of rules. Tribal societies always do. They're not big on personal freedom.)
@jschroeffel And just to expand on that point, AFP is funded by oil billionaires for the purpose of legislating an ideology that increases the wealth of those oil billionaires at the expense of the rest of society. If tea baggers stood for the 99%, they would be right there along with OccupyDC protesting AFP rather than riding AFP funded buses around the country taking part in astroturf grassroots events.
@nrf91 Is your real name Nancy Pelosi? Tea party is the top 50% of 99%, the people who pay taxes. This is bottom 1% of the 99% who still have not paid back to the society for 10+ years of free education, free school busses, trips to museums etc. These are thugs.
@BlueSkies360 You display your ignorance for all to see about who makes up the OWS movement. They are not a tool of either political party, unlike the tea baggers, who are part of and supporters of the Rethuglican party, home of authoritarians and the sheep that worship them. Look in the mirror before you call OWS protesters thugs.
I guess us "99 percent" got LOTS of housecleaning to do. These protesters incorrectly assume they speak for the majority of Americans. I certainly don't associate myself with these SELFISH bums. They deserve a one-way ticket to China, where Communism is alive and well.
@homeschoolmarm On the contrary: Capitalism is alive and well in China - they're using it very effectively against the US. We are speaking for the majority of Americans, even in some of them are too ignorant to stop supporting those who are screwing us!
@homeschoolmarm Communism and Capitalism are both very much alive and well in China. It's Communism (government ownership) which allows the Capitalism (selling things) to thrive.
@tallbergs Nope. but i see your point outside the context of the conversation. my comment was in reply to someone suggestion the occupy people go to china where there is communism. I was just pointing out that capitalism and communism are both alive in China.
The Teabagger lunatics and Republican leaders have been telling OCCUPYers to go to Wash DC with their protests, so they have, to a KOCH Brothers/Fox News crime cartel summit to make their politics known BEFORE they steal another Presidential election with their drug/alcohol, sex crime saturated GOP candidates and office runners. Behind every conservative is a criminal with deviancy to hide on other people's money.
NO! YOU ARE NOT THE 99%!! The real so called 99% work!! The real 99% don't shit in the street, smoke dope or demand FREE labor and property from their neighbors!!! YOU ARE MARXIST SCUM!
@Clarkecars I am the 99%. I work and pay taxes and don't do drugs. I have a perfect driving record and have no criminal record.I don't expect to become rich in what I do, but I see the middle class in this country being sent into poverty, with the 1% stealing away equal opportunity for the rest of us. Get educated on the facts of the wealth gap. This is NOT about a bunch of whiners complaining that life isn't handing them what they feel entitled to.
@erintrah You see sir the people posting here aren't "pretending" to be nonviolent like the hippie trash in the video. I was merely pointing out the hypocrisy of the ows. They have attacked police, and citizens alike. They have destroyed property, and set fire to buildings. They had to setup a special tent for women in ny so they won't be anymore rapes. All the while claiming to be nonviolent. PS I broke a lot of hearts were I left S Korea. How are things there? 2nd ID Second To None!
@jasonc32amg You are a scared person.Your world is changing and you are scared because somewhere inside you know this is a much different situation than you have ever seen in this country.I revel in the fear of anyone who supports the fascist system.Do you know what fascism is?
@NotNearlyNormalProd Yes, I know what facism is. I see it in the OWS movement. Facist always start their takeovers with HATE. OWS is a movement of hate, Hate bankers, Hate Corporations. Facist disguise themselves as democracy, but they use democracy to distort the system. Hilter was elected into power before taking over the system. Facist rely on useful idiots who believe their conspiracy theories to create mob activities. Are you are useful idiot?
@DBgoober1 You obviously don't know jack about fascism. OWS is non hierarchical, anti corporatist, inclusive, and anti authoritarian. Fascism is hierarchical, corporatist, exclusionary, and authoritarian. In other words, fascism is pretty much what the neocons want for our country.
@shanseuse LOL.... Your funny, I didn't call OWS facist, I said I see it in your movement. OWS is the useful idiots the facist needs to take over the state. I ask again, are you a useful idiot? Oh yeah, OWS is not inclusive, just see how they react to reporters. Also, you do have a hierarchy.
@DBgoober1 Well go ahead and impress me with you understanding...why waiting so long to tell me...you are a liar...you don't know and you are too ignorant to look it up...your knew name is Mr. Ignorato.
@vllmer You're damn right, we want!! We want our government not to be bought out by special interests and moneyed interests. Capitalism is supposed to be about equal opportunity, not bought favoritism. The game is becoming rigged against the average person and WE WANT a return to fairness in our system. What we have now is corporatism (fascism), not capitalism.
@xplorva Don't dump this on captialism. Big government is becoming a party for itself. Its not being held accountable, cultivating dysfunction, and inciting people to achieve its own ends. And if government is "bought" by big interests, you DO NOT want to give it power to make things "fair". It will just box you up and its corruption will know no bounds.

Now we see here ows is trying to forcibly enter a building in order to disrupt someone else's free speech, and I don' just see one or two people here. No sir your claims that the ows is non violent is a lie.
NBC1059 3 months ago
@NBC1059 Whatever of these claims that are true, I totally decry and so do the vast majority of the people in the movement. We cannot condone that behavior. When you have a movement this big, it's impossible to control the actions of a minority. See nrf91's response - I agree with them.

@xplorva A movement this big? I saw an estimate that there were about 70,000 participating nationwide. That would barely fill a college sports stadium. This "movement" is irrelevant.

@NBC1059 Talk about totally misrepresenting what you see before your eyes. Trying to forcibly enter a building? That is clearly not what is happening in this video. Additionally, if you consider this video to depict violence, I would suggest that you need a psychiatrist. And you whine about disruption of someone else's right to speak? Did you feel that way when tea baggers shouted down anyone who disagreed with them at Obamacare town halls? Or is free speech only for the 1% and their sheep?
nrf91 3 months ago
@nrf91 You shouldn't use the term Obamacare. President Obama doesn't like it, and someone may report you to attack watch. Now are these the same town halls where union thugs physically attacked anyone with an opposing view? As for the video I see a bunch of spoiled white people screaming, and beating on doors in a threatening manner, while some are trying to shove past the black security officers. Frankly I found the whole scene smacked of racism sir.
NBC1059 3 months ago
@NBC1059 the protesters stopped the people who were breaking the windows of the whole foods, at risk to themselves. The Oakland police themselves said that the protests were largely peaceful and that the few incidents of violence there were appeared to be from a small group not aligned with the larger protest (and notable because they dressed in all black with black hoodies). I won't discuss the much worse violence committed on the protesters by the police because you don't care about that.
ultramegachicken68 3 months ago
@ultramegachicken68 Wow so the protesters found it impossible to separate themselves from a group dressed in such a manner. Is largely peaceful the same as peaceful now? And since the oakland pd said something you agree with they are no longer violent fascist thugs that lie about your movement and send agent provocateurs in to disrupt your permitless march that shut down businesses, and the port? A port thats main export is food to asia. Food for the poor and children. Do you want them to starve
NBC1059 3 months ago
@NBC1059 Actually, instead of separating themselves, they tried to stop them--at least where breaking the Whole Foods windows were concerned. As far as the police are concerned, they are violent fascist thugs when they act like thugs, that's all. When they club nonviolent veterans who are just walking home from a protest and rupture his spleen. Things like that.
ultramegachicken68 3 months ago
@ultramegachicken68 the police can either be evil thugs, or imparcial enforcers of the law. In one post you use them to say that the protest were "largely peaceful", which means peaceful in ows doublespeak, and in the other the are thugs. You can not have it both ways sir. You can not demand government take more control, and at the same time not trample your liberty. According to the Obama administration veterans are terrorist. So you can blame the president for the vets being beaten
NBC1059 3 months ago
@NBC1059 I think we are not communicating. Police are thugs when they act like thugs. When they don't act like thugs, they aren't thugs. As far as the police saying the protest was peaceful, it's remarkable that the very group that has been hostile to the protesters doesn't accuse the protesters of violence. If even they don't have anything bad to say, why would you?
ultramegachicken68 3 months ago
@NBC1059 Also, it seems like you're having a conversation with someone else. I haven't said anything about Obama. Nor have I said anything about government taking more control, or about government at all other than the government of Oakland CA as embodied in its police department. You're fighting about ideas that I haven't even started talking about. And, in the case of Obama, that I don't even want to talk about. Talk about irrelevance.
ultramegachicken68 3 months ago
@ultramegachicken68 You brought up veterans being beaten by the police. I brought up that the current administration has classified veterans as terrorist. The theme's of the ows ranges for taxing, and regulate businesses, and the 1% more, to total destruction of capitalism in the US. Either would require more government control to accomplish, and if the police are thugs then the gov that controls them must be thugs, which means you are asking a thug gov to take more control. Do try and keep up

Now we're starting to see that the Democrats, for all their populist rhetoric are pretty damn corrupt, but not as badly as the Republicans are.

Really, I'm not 100% against some of their complaints, but their solutions are 100% wrong. The occupiers seem to be getting increasingly violent. Most likely there will shortly be some type of violent incident which will result in all the occupations shutting down. There just wasn't any reason to block the conventions center. They occupiers are making themselves very partisan by attacking GOP figures and events. Is that all they're about.? How about occupying the Fed or The White House?
ftsmallwood 3 months ago
@ftsmallwood You seem pretty rational, and I agree with most of your points. I support the main gist of the movement, but if - and ONLY if the movement remains non-violent. Actually, people resorting to property destruction, violence, etc. do nothing but undermine public support, and no one should denounce them more loudly than their peers - I certainly do! When you have that many people marching through a town, it's hard not to block traffic. We need to occupy the Fed and the White Hse alright!

If they get there and maintain their position honestly, then I salute them. I find it's usually not the entrepreneurial types that we're having the problem with - it's the corporate bigwigs who hire lobbyists and give out huge campaign contributions and expect government favoritism. Capitalism should be about equal (cont)

@BlueSkies360 (pt 2) opportunity, not favoritism. When corporations are allied with government, that's fascism, and it kills democracy and true capitalism. The middle class has been gradually slipping down toward poverty for the last 30 years. There's a youtube video called "How the Middle Class Got Screwed" that may help you understand. Google "war on the middle class" and read the Commondreams article that comes up, titled "It's official:Rich declare war on the middle class".

@BlueSkies360 Regulation and taxes are the cornerstone of any fair, decent and working society.

Taxes are nothing more than membership dues to make sure you have decent and safe roads, bridges, food, housing, etc. If you want to live somewhere that has no rules, try Somalia.
