Belligerent Occupy Eugene Shuts Down City Council Vote on Extension of Freeloading

[54ND3R5]

Yeah, cause these people are just FILLED with hate. Because if I really HATED someone, I would go to a meeting on my night off and address a set of people that supposedly have authority in the same building that supposedly justifies their authority. I would TOTALLY come prepared with comments that support my cause while at the same time leaving room for a democratic process that I completely disagree with. Civil disobedience is the highest form of patriotism. You're lucky they don't throw rocks.

Classy. This is what happens when natural selection is obstructed. How anyone can honestly believe that actions that mirror that of a three year old having a conniption will produce positive results is beyond me. On a positive note the criminal records of these mouth breathers will ensure that they are not allowed to attain a position of power. Moonbeam Dustpan will have to settle for minimum wage while the actual 99% go to school to enact change within the system, and not by killing grass

Order in the court!

Looks like a bunch of Elderly Senior Citizens trying to relive their glory days of the 1960s.

If you only had the slightest clue about what journalism is really about.....how sad. Though on the bright side I'm sure you might have a career at Faux News--this is EXACTLY the kind of "gotcha!" hit pieces that they love and adore.......

You're fool and a waste of Oxygen.......

[joeysixtysix]

They continue to hurt their own cause (whatever that is) with these ridiculous actions.

[westernciviliznation]

Actually, I'm rather impressed by the Occupy & Council sparring match... Eugene does it kinder and gentler than other cities... and it shows... at confrontation.

[cycosteve2006]

why did the bastards runs? 

[MrGMC305]

maybe you could be heard if the damn Occupy Choir Group had decided that their ridiculous song was a big waste of time...

[abbyipo]

One thing was confirmed for me and that is Ms Kitty needs to find another job somewhere else. Has she forgotten that city council members are suppose to be nonpartisan? “I love those singers but I can’t say its ok for you to do that, if I can’t say its ok for people that I disagree with to do that.” If anything more happens within that squatters camp you are to blame.

[mamasnowcat]

I watched the whole thing on Metro TV. Your edited video is biased and frankly, ridiculous. You failed to show several minutes of excellent footage of plenty of intelligent, compassionate citizens of Eugene offering their support, concern and assistance to Occupy Eugene.

Come on....show the rest of your footage.....

eugene is the best!!!

[westernciviliznation]

Eugene Council holds Kindergarten... no gold stars for Occupy.

[EWOKCAD]

Wont they just come back wednesday and sing again? LOL

[starlitopensky1]

This is light, right now.

[EugeneWanderer]

Foe one, lets straighten out a major (lie?) screw up on the facts. This was not Occupy Eugene, this was the Eugene Peace Chior, so no, this was not accurate or honest reporting. Get your facts straight if you are going to claim something like this. i guess ethics and integrity have no place in modern reporting though.

[adb024]

@EugeneWanderer They were plainly there in support of Occupy Eugene and raised their hands when asked to do so in support of Occupy Eugene. I don't see why you think they're the worst of the group. Their act was nothing compared to the shouting down of others.

[EugeneWanderer]

@adb024 yes your right, the commotion from the rear was not acceptable, i agree, but look at the headline for this, were they occupiers we would have accepted that, but they were not, had you posted on the loud ones in back i would not have felt the need to reply, and yes, the room was overwhelmingly in support of the occupy folks. I do not support those who felt it was neccessary to be loud during other peoples turns either, even those who were being loud occupiers.

[rcoates97402]

The Register-Guard article is balanced and fair. Your headline shows that you are biased.

[adb024]

@rcoates97402 I don't Sugarcoat it like the Mainstream Media.

[pavilionking06]

@rcoates97402 Aaron is much like the Fox News Channel. He is "Fair and Balanced" as long as you agree with his world view. If you disagree, you are suddenly labeled an evil communist, socialist, Liberal out to destroy America.

[lindabebe835]

they made themselves look bad and did not accomplish a thing. good reporting Aaron.

[adb024]

@lindabebe835 It's terrible how they shout anyone down who opposes them. Especially when repeatedly asked not to by the council. 

[manholewisdom]

that is a funny lady in red said they were on the defense you were is charge you should be on the offense. But they were in charge and that was the course of action they chose to take and I thought they made a good choice.

[adb024]

@manholewisdom I like how Councilman Mike Clark just sat there.

[manholewisdom]

@adb024 i think mr. clark was taking it all in and did not feel assaulted nor offended.

I commend his actions. I also think he judge well the intent of the people.

[BeantownJim]

whaco socialists!

[a10fjet]

im confused...

[adb024]

@a10fjet What can I help explain?
