Occupy Asheville Veterans Arrested during Veterans Vigil 11-11-11

Veterans arrested while defending our constitutional right to assemble peacefully.
Tonight we read the names of North Carolinas fallen soldiers from the Afghanistan and Iraq wars....
Pay close attention to how many cops show up to arrest 3 ppl... its ridiculous.

Wow. Lots of protests going on in and around Asheville. I have a video on my channel of another loud group of protesters protesting the Keystone Oil Pipeline project in front of Bank of America. I guess they're really passionate because they're very loud!

It's not enough to say "Vote Ron Paul"

PEOPLE NEED TO SWITCH PARTIES 12 WEEKS IN ADVANCE OF THE PRIMARIES IN MOST STATES.

IF YOU DO NOT SWITCH IN TIME YOU CANNOT VOTE IN PRIMARY.

IF YOU ARE NOT REGISTERED REPUBLICAN YOU CANNOT VOTE IN PRIMARY.

IF RON PAUL DOES NOT WIN PRIMARY, NO GENERAL ELECTION ! REGISTER AS A REPUBLICAN. FIND OUT WHEN YOUR STATE HAS PRIMARIES. FIND OUT WHERE AND VOTE VOTE VOTE ! PLEASE !

WE NEED EVERY LAST VOTE ! Copy and paste this everywhere

THE POLICE ARE NO LONGER PROTECTING U.S.

[inegma29]

PEOPLE FORGET ITS THE POLICE JOB TO PROTECT THE PEOPLE.....THE VETS JOB WHEN ACTIVE TO PROTECT THE USA.....VETS DESERVE A CERTAIN LEVEL OF RESPECT..........POLICE HAVE TO UPHOLD THE CONSTITUTION HANDS DOWN.......WHY?? BECAUSE ITS THE FIRST LAW not laws that twist there meaning.........

@krag30 However, I still don't think you can say that people staging a vigil have conflict as their goal. Because conflict HAS arisen, doesn't mean that was their intent.

[shanemayhem]

@krag30 Is it an Amendment? I'm not necessarily of the opinion that just because the Supreme Court has ruled on something that it is perfectly Constitutional, but I'm aware that's my opinion, based on philosophies of greater v. lesser morality. Thanks for clarifying, at any rate.

Fellow occupiers, thank you for your vigilance. It is much appreciated. As to the trolls that insist upon remaining ignorant: I came up with this phrase just the other day, "The words of a fool are quickly dismissed by the wise".

The trolls are already frustrated by their lack on understanding. Ignoring them will only increase their frustration, and---weak as they are---they will go away, OR they will take the time to learn and discover the truth.

@krag30 By "normal" person you of course mean people that agree with you. Fail. Keep watching little man. You will see why the people that actually stand up always get more done than the ones that do not. We'll make 3 billion into 10 billion moved to local credit unions. And we'll not let corporate crime out of the news or off of peoples minds. You can sit home and criticize the folks that actually DO something. Your welcome. Now kindly go back to your television.
