Destruction of the Library | Occupy Wall Street Video

[ttysas]

Why are communist singing the star spangle banner? Are we supposed to feel all hippy and crunchy now for their cool little socialist, communist, marxist library?

[defpow]

DUMB HIPPIES/

[SeaWolfe59]

Books on Marxism, Socialism and Communism I'm sure...and how to roll a tight joint as well.

You are NOT the 99%. You do not represent me and many others like me. Speak for yourselves...a group of 1 or 2%.

[kevlonk]

@SeaWolfe59 Actually, they had books by everyone, including books by conservatives by Sean Hannity. Most of it, though, was fiction titles.

[SeaWolfe59]

@kevlonk

Yes, books by Sean Hannity - as if they were inspired by a Conservative. Come on.

These Occupy folks are clearly becoming vandals and street thugs. Theyve shown their true colors through their destruction of private property and interference with private commerce. They are irrelevant in the minds of most Americans...and should be punished severely when caught in their destructive behaviors.

[phantom1000A]

you people have no right to put a fucking library in that park. OWS hippies can't even read eviction notices, let alone a book.

[AmerikanPatriot]

Boo hoo... the goof-offs got their library tickets cancelled.

[rbkumpf2]

I wonder who sent the order to sing the natn anthem and wave the American flag instead of mindless chants and destroying the flag? Anyone know?

[TheFireTongue]

Wonder how many copies of Fahrenheit 451 were in that library, and I wonder if Bloomberg or any of those cops have ever taken the time to read it before...

[mcv47]

A library stored in Tupperware is hardly considered ‘priceless’ if valuable copies were really there at OWS, they should have been better protected. No one cared enough to take them with them when the left. What did they expect the police to do?

[tickleberries]

This is so wrong!

[BishopToebin]

Sieg Heil in facist America

[BishopToebin]

Fahrenheit 451

[MissRumphuis]

Shame. And you know what, you stupid pigs, (not OW, the stupid people in the comments below) you are barely worth the time wasted insulting you, but I'm gonna do it anyways, because someone has to tell you what assholes you're being. Get off you stupid throne, and start seeing past what's in front of your nose. What the hell is wrong with you? Shame.

[desperationno5]

...Maybe if you moved your shit when you were told to do so...

...Besides, if you cats actually got to stay throughout the winter, how could you keep these books in good condition in an open tent when a snowstorm comes?

...And don't even line this up with what the Nazi's did ...Those buggers burned entire PRESSINGS of books ...I'm sure there are tons of copies of the books that went missing in that tent

...Get a job, Loosers...

...Loosers

[PoweredByMagnets]

@desperationno5 Get a dictionary, "looser".

[kentoni11]

Look at those violent, crazy, drug and alcohol abusing, sociopaths. Look at the police!!! They are the anti-social personality disordered police department. Who else would assault unarmed citizens and destroy city property such as the library books? Let's not mention the rate of alcoholism amongst law enforcement.

[gjdagis]

No great loss; most of these people can't read, anyway!

[1LaOriental]

@gjdagis Don't you just wish that were true...

[vinsong]

@gjdagis troll harder.

[MinimoviesInc]

@gjdagis Try trolling a little harder, this wasn't enought to get me all fired up 'n' up in arms, baby.

[worldcitizen08]

It's about time the Americans stood up to the greedy bastards!

[HumpsTube]

Shame

[luvcuffed]

Reminds me of the book burning in Nazi Germany...so sad.

[BenkaiDebussy]

@NObushma Decentralized banking has always been a terrible idea. It was a disaster when the US didn't have centralized banking. Many people seem to believe in some mythical Golden Age of America that occurred at some nebulous point during the 19th century, when the economy wasn't very regulated and there was no income tax.

The problem with the Fed is that everyone working there has a massive conflict of interest that directs its policy towards helping banks instead of the country as a whole.

[nicknormal]

this was for the Occupiers' own health and safety... wait, what?

[anlzd1]

Didnt the Nazi's burn books?

[kowalski911]

@anlzd1 "They don't gotta burn the books they just remove 'em."

[UnspokenIssues]

What would any government in the US a free nation order destruction of books, seems to me we are further away from freedom than in the last 50 yrs

Shame on Bloomberg shame on NYPD for this

[BenkaiDebussy]

@UnspokenIssues The US has gone downhill since Reagan was president. Even the Democratic presidents after Reagan were far to the right of any president prior, going back until maybe Hoover. It's not exactly a surprise that median income went stagnant and income of the rich shot up after Reagan's deregulation and tax cuts.

[BenkaiDebussy]

@UnspokenIssues Oh, I forgot to mention that Reagan also transformed the US from a creditor nation to a debtor nation. Which is stunningly ironic, given the fact that conservative consistently praise him as a bastion of conservatism.

[thewellnessninja]

Why do half of the OWS protestors look homeless?

[puretreble2113]

@thewellnessninja Because half of them are due to foreclosures.

[DrAmazing]

@thewellnessninja

Spend 2 months living in a tent and getting beat down by cops, then see how nice you look.

[epignosis567]

"library" not, legal or illegal, there was no need to put a thousand book into the garbage dump. that's just ignorance. if they're breaking the law then seize the property, don't just throw them in the garbage. they're books. they don't go bad and they never break.

[EricChernushenko]

"When Fascism comes to America, it will do so wrapped in a flag and holding a cross."

[dathribab]

wait they destroyed the books? Isn't that what Faschist governments do to keep their citizens uneducated?

[Crackxyx]

@dathribab welcome to the US of A -- at least, the USA for people who don't have parents with cash

[BenkaiDebussy]

@dathribab While what they did was awful, it isn't comparable to fascist governments burning books. Books aren't being systematically destroyed with the intent of preventing the population from reading them.

This is just the police being the police (and Bloomberg being Bloomberg as well, if he specifically ordered them to destroy the books as well).

[dathribab]

@BenkaiDebussy My point is that any government that claims to value freedom should never destroy any books. It disgusts me that people complain that OWS costs taxpayer money to provide "security" while in reality it is being spent on destroying literature and suppressing rights.

[spezilla]

and look kids to the right new york has a new zoo!!!

[crumbyvids]

That's not your library. Your library is a public BUILDING that is downtown and meets building regulations.

[BenkaiDebussy]

@crumbyvids There can be more than one library. Also, the point of building in the park is to attract attention to the issues at hand: unemployment, income/wealth inequality, increasing cost of living, corporate/government corruption, Wall St corruption/deregulation, etc.

The only argument against this that I've heard is "GET A JOB", but "5 unemployed for every job opening" is pretty unambiguous. Every "anti-OWS" person I've seen has taken the opposite viewpoint out of nothing but spite.

[platipot]

Shit pack

[1830da]

Police is bought by the wealthy. JPMorgan Chase donated technology, time and resources valued at $4.6 million to the New York City Police Foundation. Check out Bilderberg Group on YouTube. That's who police is protecting. Watch “Inside Job” – it’s amazing, your jaw will drop.

[KYKIN44]

government keeps warning us about terrorist.The only terrorist that the average American will ever see or encounter is the American law enforcement. Police are above the law. They R let loose on the public to plunder kill innocent people. The average policeman will kill children to keep their jobs. If I had choice to meet a terrorist or policeman in a dark alley I'd much rather meet terrorist because he would be less dangerous The American policemen are the most evil people on this Earth.

[Silentsam7532]

I wonder when America really will be the 'home of the free' again.

[RonPaulRevolution4u]

@Silentsam7532

I won't unless we do something really daring and elect Ron Paul as President, otherwise we will NEVER be the "land of the free" in our lifetimes. This is out LAST chance. How long is going to take for people to realize that he's the ONLY PRO-personal liberties, ANTI-war, full fledged freedom candidate for 2012...?

Yep cfr, muscleman

[HammeringTruth]

The biggest welfare loafers in the world work for Wall Street. Trillions spent on bailing out the banksters and people tell the protesters to get a job? Why don't you idiots support the protesters and tell the banksters to get a job. I have a job and I am sick and tired of the welfare that the Wall Streeters collect. I work and pay taxes so the Wall Street banksters can sit at a desk and collect huge tax payer supported bonuses! Stop watching cable news and read a book.

[TheJasperkitty]

@HammeringTruth You know, some of what you say is true. My taxes also go to black mothers to raise their kids because the male black is the most sorry character in creation. Not all males, but the ones who knock up some poor woman so they can get their rocks off and be a "playa". I have to pay for that. If illegals went home and black males took care of their children, then I'd be more inclined to be pissed at rich people. Racist? Yes. Truth? Absolutely.

[xgotfiveonitx]

@TheJasperkitty yet you seem to forget how much feminism plays into that. you are complaining that tax money is being used to feed children so they dont go hungry at night. what about corporate welfare? what about foreign aid?

[TheJasperkitty]

@xgotfiveonitx Feeding the kids is not the issue, but supporting a system of lazy-assed males and support by bastard politicians that require me to pay so they can drop their load and not be responsible.

[silveracer44]

Ummm...why are people that don't support this movement cheering the fact they THREW AWAY BOOKS...??? Why don't you go out there and burn them yourselves you dumb nazi-minded fucks.

[lec0rsaire]

Oh no not the people's library and the kitchen! They destroyed the kitchen!! What a bunch of idiots you guys are. Pay your damn rents like a normal American an stop squatting on private property. Also go back to wherever you came from since you are not a New Yorker.

[wulfsragar]

@lec0rsaire corporate bootlicker!!!

[musclegenii]

@lec0rsaire go back under the Rock your from.or get a reality check,OWS are mostly just hard working americans that pay bills taxes and are just fed up with all the corruption Going on,if you don't like it,tough shit.turn your fox news back on and wish OWS will go away but they won't.

[mojonm]

Ok so you guys are familiar with the fact that the true powers of america (CFR) are wanting you guys to riot and cause havok. Keep up the good work ouccupyers! Dejafever look up the counsel of foreign relations. That is who runs the show, that is who wants a socialist America, that's who wants to see our young service men an woman die for nothing.

[musclegenii]

@mojonm WHAT?

[Dejayfever1]

Who are these people? Who are the ones taking down everything? Has anyone interviewed them?

[MissELizVitale]

criminals in policing can't be happy so they take away others happiness...

[TheJasperkitty]

Oh noz dey destroy all dem porno maggyzines.

[p71280]

PEACEFUL PROTEST DOES NOT WORK. WE MUST STAND.

[TheJasperkitty]

@p71280 Oh please please please turn violent. Please?

[p71280]

@TheJasperkitty It did turn violent, by the nazi cops.

[TheJasperkitty]

@p71280 If these were Nazi cops they'd all be dead. Pick your metaphors carefully when you don't know what you're talking about.

[p71280]

@TheJasperkitty You did NOT do your homework in History. I will help you friend. The USA is a "Police-State" The Nazi States of America. Over the years they have taken away our freedoms.

[TheJasperkitty]

@p71280 It's one thing to be blissfully stupid as most OWS folks are, but another to be intentionally ignorant such as yourself. There is sufficient history to illustrate the difference between protests today and Nazi Germany. Any attempt to link them is designed to be misleading, ignorant, and sensational. The militant nature of the "peaceful" protests of OWS are designed to provoke media events and press coverage. It's all a lie.

[p71280]

@TheJasperkitty Don't be an asshole. fyi. Over the years the rich have taken over, and you have lots your rights as an American. The rich are not your friend. The rich do not care about you or your family.The rich want you and your family to be their slaves. We the 99% are fighting to give you more money in your families pocket and a much better standard of living.

[TheJasperkitty]

@p71280 You're a dumbshit, so you wouldn't know an asshole if it landed on your nose. I am happy with my job and my life always working for a living. My standard of living is just fine. Put money in my pocket? Deport the illegals and shoot the black males who won't support their kids. Stop the pork political projects, and bring the troops home and let's mind our own business.

[p71280]

@TheJasperkitty "SHOOT THE BLACK MALES"? HEY FOLKS, LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE A NIGGER HATER FEMI-NAZI !!! Well femi-nazi BITCH... SUCK MY DICK!

[TheJasperkitty]

@p71280 LOL! You're getting your ass kicked and that's your comeback?  What are you 13?

[p71280]

@TheJasperkitty Are you trying to make a date with a 13 year old? Let me see if i got this: You hate niggers, you hate men, but you like to little boys? What's the matter? Your daddy didn't give you enough love when you were a child? I still can't believe you said that "SHOOT THE MALE NIGGERS". Wow, you need to go back to 1950. This is the year 2011, get some help, see a doctor. Until then, don't play on the computer femi-nazi bitch. The grown-ups are talking.

[TheJasperkitty]

@p71280 Unlike you, most people can read what I wrote and your juvenile drivel. I can tell you're a little shit kid because you argue like a 6th grader. Come back when you grow up.

[TheJasperkitty]

@p71280 The only one using the N-word is you. Make you feel like a big man? I think OWS would disown you if you tried to hang around them.

[p71280]

@TheJasperkitty Your funny. Now you say "N-word", like you don't want to sound like the prejudices bigot you are. Before you said you wanted to "SHOOT MALE NIGGERS". Eat shit you prejudices FEMI-NAZI BITCH !

[TheJasperkitty]

@p71280 Please show us where I said the quote you claim. You can't can you. Is it because you're just that stupid, or because you're a little shit liar? People can red a lot better than you, derp-a-derp.

[p71280]

@TheJasperkitty I'm bored at kicking your ass on utube. I just "blocked you". bye bye...

[TheJasperkitty]

@p71280 Got your ass now. You're running away crying alike little punk derpoid who got his butt kicked. I let you mouth your way into a big hole, then woooosh! I flushed you.

[TheJasperkitty]

@p71280 I'm still wondering why when I said "black males" the first thing that popped into your vocabulary was the N-word? You're credibility is shot little poot.

[FeranMalis]

@TheJasperkitty You're just heping me out.

[TheJasperkitty]

@FeranMalis Brainwashed? Hardly. I've done exactly what I wanted to do all my life as far as career is concerned working for others. I am truly blessed. You know, every day young people with no money are starting up businesses and getting wealthy. Nothing stopping anyone. Steve Jobs had a high school education and was adopted. The only thing stopping people is the victim mentality and "poor lil ol' me" syndrome.

[cobias]

Why the hell does this channel not update ? Today was a big protest and were watching video from two days ago ? WTF ?

[mojonm]

Are people mostly pissed cause.of the economy?

[slytherinspy1960]

@mojonm in america or at occupy wall street? ah who am i kidding their pissed at the same things. yea the economy, jobs, wars, bailouts, austerity measures, and the list goes on and on. What the movement, which i believe it has become a movement, is starting to focus on is the bribery that goes on at k street in washington dc between the government and wall st. lobbyists. march on dc is nov. 23. stop corruption of our government.

[kittykatdancing]

that library tent was donated by singer patti smith <3

[ROCKSTARVOCALIST]

An Interviewer asked an occupy wall street protester what the cops did to him. he said they took his tent and his stuff and put it in a garbage truck and took it to the dump. the reporter replied redistribution of wealth is a bitch

[cars675]

So was that the place where people kept there journals or something?

[Eim30]

@cars675 It's basically the same as any library. They provided free, donated books that people could take or borrow to read and educate themselves.

[levijgraham]

Suppress the people!! :P
