Blah blah blah... Negative response after negative response. These people don't think, they just talk. If you showed them a video of Martin Luther King getting eaten by a German sheppard, they'd all scream out, "That's what you get for breaking the law, ha ha!" People don't respond well to one-person interviews on YouTube, regardless of content. But yes, keep up the struggle. WE SUPPORT SOLDIERS WHO SHOOT THEIR COMMANDING OFFICERS.
That stuff happens every stinking day with the cops - rousting the homeless just for existing. The politicos are only interesting in solving "visible homelessness" by creating an invisible caste.
In Reno NV, you can be arrested for "blocking the sidewalk", ( that's right even if you are standing or walking down the street), if you look like you don't have any money.
It seems if you are simply a "stand-out" in any manner that you are targeted through some sort of "profile".
i'm from america you jingoist bastard. and where are your ancestors from? not from america, because the colonialists killed all the actual natives of america.
if you hate this country so much, leave it. there are plenty of people who want to be here that can't. so, open up a space. france has protests every day, and has plenty of whiners too. you may want to try france.
yeah, and at the rate this country is going, pretty soon we're going to be kicking people out who "don't belong," you know... making space for those who "really want to be here."
and let's not forget that our country was founded on the principle of protesting and "whining." our founding fathers weren't happy with the way things were going under british rule. so they whined. they protested. they fucking overthrew the government.
france did a similar thing. the only difference is french youth still care and are still aware of what their government is doing and aren't too apathetic or ignorant to do something about it.
if you want to overthrow the government, make sure you wear reflective yellow or orange. we don't want innocents to be killed. after all, you are that is what you stand for.
Sorry to hear that you got hassled and abused. Our country is turning into Fascist Germany faster than we can keep up with... Thank you for standing up for your and my rights. People like you are the true American heroes! Hey... What ever happened to the days when the government SERVED the people and the President worked FOR THE PEOPLE? Don't feel like a coward... It sounds like you were as brave as you could have been in that situation.
i don't think "cowardice" or shame or whatever is an issue here. you're lucky that the protest didn't get any more out of hand, it could have turned more dangerous. stay safe.
Fighting terrorism with terrorism is the Bush idea of war. Our troops are there to access oil which oddly enough funds terrorism. Supporting our troops is bringing them home. When the USA has a real war to fight we won't be ready thanks to Bush turing our troops into oil farmers. Keep up the good work Steph.
yes, i'm sure that the ten or fifteen of us were really intimidating. i'm sure that all of us together, many of whom were fresh out of high school or fresh into retirement, could really have done a number on those twenty or so police officers.
And yes, I'm sure since you were "just there to document" the event, it was pretty spontaneous that you start handing out flyers and taunted the cops until they finally, reluctantly, arrested you, as proven by your own video of the event.
Thank you for showing the world the utterly vapid, yet remarkable uppity nature of college activism. Passion is no substitute for brains.
I'm sorry, 1st Amend/Freedom of Speech has nothing to do with mob action, which is what you were doing. The Army had a permit which guaranteed the public's access to their tent. You blocked it and harassed people. No one wants your commie horseshit.
Minorities if anything are the ones targeting the army. They need the college money. Recruiters try to persuade me to enlist also.

I think it is funny that standing up for civil liberties is a communist ideal now...
