@Iapetus303 $375 — and the money collected in the Alternative/Deferred Prosecution Program DOES NOT go to LA. It DOES NOT reimburse taxpayers for Mayor Villaraigosa, City Attorney Carmen Trutanich, and Chief Beck's outrageous waste of police resources that had 1,400 police staged to deal with protesters who have NEVER been violent over a two month period, and of which less than 300 were arrested (including those who were FOLLOWING dispersal orders and kettled).

Public costs: private profits.

This is right out of Stalin's playbook. Democrat and Republican officials alike, along with all corporate media outlets, outed themselves as enemies of freedom and democracy in their brutal crackdowns of American citizens. Thanks to the Occupation for exposing these frauds. Too bad that such a high percentage of Tea Party people are moronic bigots or we might actually get somewhere working together.

@PissedFechtmeister Because when your government can control what you say, they own you. You can own a thousand guns, but you are still a slave if they own your words and thoughts. Worse, you are an armed slave they can use to enslave others. Every right you have starts with free speech. Lose that, lose everything.
