i don't get the mic thing. We can hear her perfectly fine. There is no background noise to filter out. Oh, she turned the mic off. Good on her.

[evelinesinclair]

@EdMajinLee199999 You could probably hear us fine because I was lucky enough to be standing near the front. There was a pretty big crowd, and it's very probably those in the back could NOT hear the speaker -- thus, the mic check.

I love you guys. I love this video, but ending it right after someone says "he never showed up" is both brilliant and hilarious!.

[evelinesinclair]

@PonFarrTime HAH! I'm glad you caught that. It was completely unintentional, but I get a giggle out of it every time.

[grandmachristine42]

Wow. These hostile commenters were primed and ready to pounce the second you got this uploaded. Great video, great people.

[thedacable]

Great job people. You are brave, and just like soldiers to defend our country, we need the few brave people to take actions like this. Even these idiots who are talking shit to you on here, they're just ignorant. Any success in this movement helps them. Not a single person in America is without the need for the changes this movement demands. Sometimes the Occupy movement doesn't pull the best actions, but this particular one is extremely commendable. Thank You.

@lmcentireusmc yeah, spoken like a true COWARD who has to go out and maim, murder, and torture voiceless and defenseless animals. You're SO tough, with your big guns pointed at tiny kittens and other unarmed creatures. I've already provoked you and pissed you off; it proves you know I'm RIGHT! The only way to shut me up is to KILL me! Why don't you and your "hunting" buddies turn your weapons on each other? At least then we're talking about a real contest.

[scottgurstein]

@FleebagSlayer which fleabagging terrorists are ya talking about? You mean animal rights activists like myself? If I'm going into a coffin, so are you, douche.

[scottgurstein]

@jasonc32amg it has plenty to do with it, "son." It's the DOUCHEBAGS like Rumsfeld, Cheney, and Hucka-hack who MURDER defenseless animal beings who have done NOTHING to harm or offend these murderous bastards. I will grant you this: Obama is NO better, ie, signing on to wolf massacre to kiss the asses of other animal murderers, and signing on to renewed horse murder on American soil. Shame! Screw those bastards and their "party." I would crash it, too, to get my message out.

[redeemedwench]

Occupy Nashville folks: I haven't agreed with much of what you're doing. BUT now I truly fear for you. I do. There are wheels in motion now to come after and detain folks indefinitely, especially if they label you guys terrorists! Your small victory in the Courts lately will be a long lost memory, as you may not even see a day in Court if they pick you up! If you want more info, message me. I even walked past your camp yesterday to talk to someone, but didn't see anyone right away.Take care!

[redeemedwench]

@cmfluteguy --don't hate on the soldiers. Many are good folks who were young men & women still in high school, who had troubled homes and were promised one thing and dealt something entirely different-- I know this first hand.

[InhabitantOfUniverse]

Donald Rumsfeld, A convicted war criminal is still at large. Consider him armed and dangerous. If you see him do not attempt to contact local law enforcement or other U.S. officials.

[EnchantixBeliveix]

I would like Occupy Wall Street to not only to state exactly what they want but also a way to accomplish that. They shouldn't just sit on their butt and just wait for the government to find a way to solve their demand.

Don't hate me for not supporting it (which I know you'll do). And before you thumbs down just for the sole reason I don't support OWS, think. Why should you get to express your opinions but I don't? I have every bit of a right to not like something as you have to protest.

[EnchantixBeliveix]

I don't support OWS, I don't hate the people who are doing it but I don't like the vibe I get from it. Not all rich people are lazy. Most of them had to work pretty hard to get rich, and to be honest, I don't think running a nation wide business is easy. But this whole movement just seems so...ironic. I bet hardly any of those protesters support communism but communism ideals support their ideals. But true communism supports a even distribution of wealth, which is basically what they want.

[sharrae13]

I was at that dinner. I won't lie I thought someone was gonna pull out a gun haha! Seriously though, I spent the night with Occupy Nashville last month because as a student I study all opinions. I was really impressed how kind and gracious everyone was. They weren't evil hippies with no jobs like people had been saying. But that night I was surprised that those same people would stoop to such lows. I don't agree with everything Rumsfeld has done but he did not deserve that level of incivility.

[dallisgillum]

They Totally Lied in our Newspaper. I knew it anyway but I totally had to "SEE" for myself. Yes I did. Nice Visit. I'm totally trying to get more Aid and Supplies for you beautiful guys. THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH.

[EdMajinLee199999]

@evelinesinclair yeah, but if there is no background noise you can hear a pin drop. She turned off the mic off at the end of the video for this reason. Thanks for the footage though, I appreciate it.

[lmcentireusmc]

@scottgurstein ba ha ha ha, man you talk pretty tough over the internet buddy, and if we were in the same room I would be "up" but something tells me you wouldn't talk so tough.

[jasonc32amg]

@scottgurstein What does that have to do with crashing somebody else's party? Why don't these douschebags try to arrest Obama for "war crimes"?

[scottgurstein]

@BeantownJim you forgot "animal rights activists." Oh, wait, that's me. How about if several defenders of innocent animals that I'm sure you like to murder for fun get out there and get in your face. Would that work?

[scottgurstein]

@jasonc32amg how do you feel about vegetarians? Want us dead, too? The only way to stop me is to kill me; who's up?

[scottgurstein]

@qpwillie you forgot to mention us ANIMAL RIGHTS activists/vegetarians. Yeah, we know how much you HATE us, too! I know how much you HATE me for my message of defense for the voiceless, defenseless animals on this tired planet. I'll say it again...the only way to shut me up is to kill me. Who's up?

[scottgurstein]

@lmcentireusmc as long as you can continue to use your weapons to murder defenseless animals wherever you see fit, right? Too bad they can't shoot back....you might look real good in the crosshairs. Yeah, I'm one of those "commie" animal rights activists. The only way to stop me is to kill me. Who's up?

[scottgurstein]

@FleebagSlayer ...and *your* genocide of 50 billion defenseless animals in factory farms and in Murderer Rick Perry's canned murder pens. Oh, what...pro-life means only pro *human* life? Yeah, I'm an animal rights activist. You got a problem with that?

[Falcon1red]

WE THE PEOPLE.WE MUST RECLAIM OUR COUNTRY AND PUT THOSE GUILTY ON TRIAL

[jvlaw]

@cmfluteguy Wow; psychological evaluation with profanity and hate, along with slandering our soldiers all because of a simple, but substantial, correction about the military budget? Hey, it's a free country, largely due to the Constitutional mandate to "provide for the common defense." People will disagree with you, so get used it without blowing up. Eat whatever you choose, and live!

[TennVol92]

Now I know what unemployed people do with there lives, bitch at successful people.
