Occupy Wall St. and the Second Amendment

[Kidlicious]

Have you ever taken on an angry mob elok?

[Elok]

Well, I've tried to travel through the New York subway. It wasn't even rush hour, and they weren't that far removed from an angry mob. They would've left these hippies as scraps of meat for the subway-chuds to munch on.

[Kidlicious]

Do they wear riot gear and have riot police type weapons? Are they organized and trained to deal with a riot?

[Elok]

More seriously, attempting to clog a train station at the busiest time of day would inevitably have resulted in a number of altercations, culminating in a violent scuffle. Given the environment and the crowds, at least a few people would have been seriously injured if not killed. The police very likely saved somebody's life by keeping them out of the stations, and whoever thought it was a clever idea to try deserves a taste of the pimp hand.

[Kidlicious]

Well whatever you think they deserve you wouldn't have the balls to do and either would anyone else.

[Elok]

Yes, yes, the angry hippies are very scary. They're still reckless ninnies.

I don't care if it's 500 pissed off old ladies you better have some sense about you.

There are indeed some people at those protests to be worried about. Let's just say they aren't so committed to nonviolence.

Really, your cmments on this situation are wierd.

[KrazyHorse]

Cue reference to the greenpeace protest of the international petroleum exchange to demonstrate what happens when hippies piss off real people...

I take this to mean that they were deliberately trying to get innocent people injured or killed. And you expect people to not only put up with it once "the police can't stop it," but to give them what they want?

Line of the day: upon encountering a group of protestors preventing him from completing his delivery to the deutsche bank building, a snapple truck driver threatened "you're going to be the 98% if you don't get out of my way"...

[Elok]

And yes, I got a guilty chuckle out of Googling "Greenpeace International Petroleum Exchange."

[Hauldren Collider]

I got a chuckle but didn't feel guilty. **** greenpeace. They're completely retarded. They're basically opposed to humans existing, if you take their brain-dead ideology and determine what it would actually imply.

WT...? You sound like some rightwing nutjob. How could you possibly think that I was saying they intended to hurt people? If they had intended to hurt someone they no doubt would have unless the police could have known about it before hand.

What is so funny about it?

[Kidlicious]

Maybe he thinks it's funny when people he disagrees with get beat up.
