Occupy Wall St. and the Second Amendment

[Hauldren Collider]

No, it's funny when self-righteous idiots who presume they have the right to disrupt the lives of hardworking people to promote an unwelcome message at an inappropriate time and place get beat up.

It wasn't the message that was offensive, I gather; they released noisemakers that prevented the floor traders from conducting business (which they did by shouting, at least then). They came into their place of business, shut it down, and expected everybody to be cool with it. Naturally, everybody wasn't. Apparently they brought earplugs though, in case any trader might be offended by the noise. Really, it's hard not to laugh a little, if only at the naivete.

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.

Your writing style is so obtuse that it's hard to tell what you mean. If you want your message to be clear, state it clearly. It would also help if you didn't retreat to smug "I knew you'd be too stupid to understand" remarks when people very justifiably call you out on this.

I'm assuming it is funny to elok from a distance. He wouldn't actually like to see people beat up, but I'm not sure about HC.

What is so funny about it?

What's funny about engaging in criminal trespass and mischief only to have your intended victims hand you your ass?



Go buy a ****ing sense of humor, you prat.

[Elok]

I said "a guilty chuckle." I know it isn't right to laugh at pain, but holy crap were they ever asking for an ass-kicking.

[KrazyHorse]

It's completely right in this instance.

You sound sadistic.

People who stand up for their beliefs are sometimes victims of violence. I don't find anything funny about it at all.

Obtuse? Did you think I was saying they were islamic terrorists or something? I don't know what you're getting at.

Disliking violence doesn't make someone a prat, you prat.

[Elok]

"Stand up for their beliefs"? They were being a self-righteous pack of jerkoffs, screwing with other people's livelihood to make a silly point. At the very least, they should have expected a violent reaction.

You sound sadistic.

I'm sorry, I should have said "get beat up by the people they were trying to harass."

[Elok]

Looking at it again:

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.

"Let's just say they aren't so committed to nonviolence?" Why are you surprised I interpreted this to mean you thought they were inciting violence? Especially after several posts emphasizing how dangerous they were? See, this is what I mean by being obtuse. Don't "let's just say" something vague and be surprised when I get the wrong idea. I can't read your mind.

That's not a christian attitude. If greenpeace stormed your workplace and everyone started beating them would you laugh? I'd try to stop them. I'd try to stop them if they we right wing protesters too. I don't believe people deserve to be beat uo, certainly not for standing up for their beliefs.
