Occupy Nelson BC Signs and Interviews in front of the City Hall and Court House

[kidder101]

What a bunch of fuckin bullshit this Occupy movement is.

[anarchore]

@kidder101 Thank you for vocalizing the opinion of lawyers, realtors and other useless parasites on our society. See you when the economy crashes! 

[imN0Ttheone]

The guy @ 4:00 is your typical Occupier . Those signs are a little schizophrenic

[teeyairuh]

@imN0Ttheone Actually, he isn't. The most amazing thing about this movement is the diversity of people who are occupying. It's not just hippies, it's not just the mentally ill, poor, etc it's 99% of people.

[imN0Ttheone]

@teeyairuh Thats funny because seeing as Toronto is the most diverse city in the country but Occupy Toronto is 99% white kids .

Did you take your violin?

A beautifully respectful video. ... I just wish the subject were worthy of respect.

Has everyone forgotten the purges and gulags already?

[0penh3art]

@MyFriendLeonard1 it is my mission to serve even the dirty hippies on this planet, Leonard

[MyFriendLeonard1]

@0penh3art I'd have you seriously question the wisdom of that plan of action. : )

[maryjmayhem]

" why are you even there?" Some of the occupiers don't even know why, they even say I am just here to ummmmmm support the cause. But never really saying what "the cause" is because ummmmmm..... They are just there as followers of just another cry, another plea to please just give us....everything....for free!! 99% is not what is occupying anymore...they have forgotten what it is/was all about and now it is just about what exactly

[maryjmayhem]

They should help make the change happen, really happen. My ex-husband and I both worked and could never have a nest egg to send our older girls to college or university with. So should our children not be the ones to get a FREE EDUCATION? as we have been contributors to society, our tax dollars instead being used to fund the systems that these occupiers in fact take from. Now you want a free education? Watching a few of these videos I almost wanted to scream out loud!!!

[maryjmayhem]

As I was leaving my JOB today, 3 occupiers skipped, really skipped by, singing and chanting, laughing,about their rights being crushed, the same three I have seen in the yrs I have lived here in Nelson (where btw) is a charming, giving, supporting community of NELSON, of the homeless, of the poor, needy, disabled, community and you know those happy skippers, nothing has changed in their lives.They are still ranting about the same things.

[maryjmayhem]

God would not want you to feel sorry for yourself, he would pick you up and guide you through this hard time if you would only help yourself first.so sick and tired of reading stuff like, Shambhala donates money to the music program, they should take that money and give the occupiers free housing and food, or put them into hotels that offer food service. That the occupiers should get a free education, ARE YOU SERIOUS?? Who comes up with this shit.

[maryjmayhem]

somewhere in the month of RESPONSIBILITY be able to treat my children to a night at the movies with popcorn movement. SO OCCUPY WORLD!! GET A FUCKING JOB!! And if you are able to put as much energy into these PEACEFUL protests then put that energy and time to get a job. If you cannot find one in your city, there are other cities that would be more than happy to have you clean yourself up and do the legwork that is necessary to contribute to society instead of always feeling sorry for yourself.

[maryjmayhem]

So really, maybe I should start a single parent, with two jobs, with dead-beat dads, with no medical, dental and just basic prescription coverage, to having to pay for school fees, school activities, after school programs, sports activities, gym passes, winter clothes, summer clothes, daycare, car pymnts, insurance for the car, rent, utilities, food, and MAYBE,

[maryjmayhem]

go to the soup kitchen ODB and get lunch, some of them do pay the punch pass, others not because once again the poor should not pay for lunch, the world owes them that too. Once again have heard the stories of getting their ski passes for the season, there going to Mexico because it to cold here, and other stories that would blow your mind.

[maryjmayhem]

us they cry. The same people then make their way up to the food banks, where they can get more coffee, treats and social time, where I personally have heard them talk about all the festival they attended, ie :shambhala,Loki, Bassfest, etc. well how the hell did they afford the festivals?? Oh yeah welfare money once again. And yes I did visit the food back where I was able to get some canned goods to feed my 4 children with!! And then of course they can then

[maryjmayhem]

the government gives them money to feed the dogs?? Something wrong with this picture!! What is this really all about anymore? The people who marched for Occupy Nelson in the very beginning are not the same people left there now. The people still occupying are the same people that wait in the welfare line, collect their cheque, spend it on drugs, alcohol, smokes, phones, guitars, and whatever else they feel they "deserve" and then cry they have no where to live. NO ONE CARES for

[maryjmayhem]

and getting out there doing the leg work. I was barely able to get food vouchers to feed MY CHILDREN and MYSELF!! Then waited for EI to kick in, to have to beg welfare to help me until ei kicked in and then to have to pay welfare back. But the majority of the Occupy Nelson crowd gets cheques no question asked. Oh you have a disability?? Sure here you go, here's your cheque. Yet

[maryjmayhem]

the dogs yelling at them, poor dogs. Why keep them? Once again on welfare funds. Funny!! How does he afford to feed them? Once again, they get money from welfare to feed those dogs. That is bullshit!! When I was laid off at the beginning of the yr I spent everyday weekday job hunting

[anarchore]

@maryjmayhem Oh go fuck yourself you miserable piece of shit.

[maryjmayhem]

@anarchore yeah ok!! real mature, you must be one of the 99%. I have every right to speak my mind. Is that not called freedom of speech? Let me guess, you did not finish school and really don't know what else to say! lol It is me speaking the truth, the reality is what I experienced first hand. My opinion comes from first hand experiences man, not from being miserable. You have yourself a great new year child

[anarchore]

@maryjmayhem Hey, maybe one day soon it will be you that is homeless and you will go to the people you think of as scum and they will show you kindness.

In a world where housing is at astronomical rates that no one working an honest job could ever pay off in a lifetime, there is a word for those people who shit on the homeless.

Asshole.

[maryjmayhem]

How does one afford to travel the country? Right on welfare funds!!That guy in the background, does he not have 3 dogs that he "travels" with? Have seen him walking the streets of Baker with

[teeyairuh]

@MyFriendLeonard1 You clearly do not know what this is all about, there are LOTS of people there who are not "dirty hippies" and who have jobs. The 99% covers 99% of people. Before making a judgement, come check it out.

[MyFriendLeonard1]

@teeyairuh Yeah. Real middle-of-the-road, salt-of-the-Earth kind of people, who just happen to be Che-lovin' Commies, genocidal totalitarians in training, with zero understanding of the real world.

Hey. Radical Leftists have a well-deserved bad rep. And I'm going to pin it on them everywhere they spring up. It's my duty.

God bless. : )
