Occupy Halifax shut down by police

Police and Occupy Nova Scotia clash in Victoria Park. Several hundred protesters are forcibly evicted from Victoria Park in Halifax, NS by dozens of police. A number of arrests are made. Occupy NS had relocated to Victoria Park from the Parade Square in deference to the Remembrance Day ceremony being held there. Their eviction seems cynically timed to prevent the movement from returning to the downtown.

Honestly the whole occupy movement is stupid and idiotic there wil l always be social and economic inequality, corporate greed, and the corrupting influence of corporate money and lobbyists on government and democracybecause there the things that make our country better

If you like rich people having more privlidges who cares if people work hard to be successful and get certian things its because THEY EARNED IT

@icallherpeaches I guess you need a baton to the head and a can of mace in the face. I'm pretty sure here in Canada, there are laws against treating people like they're "second class citizens." Job or no job, ever hear of EI? You sound like a classist bigot and are probably racist to boot. I lulz @ ur stoopid.

@icallherpeaches What makes someone a loser? And because of that reason it's justifiable to beat the shit out of them? you sound like a troll or a bigot.

@FacelesswithEyesOpen yeah, after those breaking the law refuse to move. but go ahead and pretend it's random, unprovoked violence, it's a sexier soundbite.
