  • genetic freak, parasitic money whore, childless know nothing, elitist bitch, ugly cracker, washed-up old maid

  • The longer you as in the people of America wait the more time to gather even more troops. Battle... The problem is they out number by have superior fire power. Cattle and sheeple. Kiss yr asses by by. Goose etepping Sarah and her groupies will sow it up. I will be among you as well. Strike the whole world of the poor and middle classes! Stay at home for a Month and watch it all fall down. no mvement no money.Money makes the world go round.

  • These were not police they were and are Blackwater Troops and are multi Nationals. Wake up! Peace Officer, why that term, they are not on any payroll that could be traced to this state. But the bill has to be paid. Follow the Money and you'll find that the Troops are for the future and it is black.. America Freedom to Fascism.

  • As far as I know no one was arrested for property destruction. The most severe charges are actually going to journalists and other support personnel. Felony inciting a riot and felony conspiracy to riot and 8 event organizers(who had nothing to do with property destruction) have "in furtherance of terrorism" tacked on. Amy Good man was arrested for felony rioting, although I'm willing to concede that her charges may have been downgraded if not dropped altogether.

  • All a act....protections for journalist? Isn't that part of the job...take a chance seeing what happens. Journalist get killed covering floods, wars etc its all part of job. And its hard to fire tear gas in a crowd where there are a few bad apples and not get other people around those bad apples. But the good apples could have overwhelmed the bad ones and turned them over to police and they would have been glad.

  • A day and a half, lol. He failed to mention that the 36 hours began from the beginning of a business day. Mainly why they started arresting everyone after all the courts closed on Friday before the Monday legal holiday.

  • her credentials were around her neck.

  • Stupid bitch. "Get back" and "Get outta here" means just that. Scream all you want, you're still going to jail. Dumbass.
