IVAW to march for Occupy Oakland again

So Ouccpy Oakland is going to be marching with IVAW today in protests against Oakland Police Force. It seems that Scott Olsen will be speaking at the event.

As part of Veterans Day, veterans will be leading a march against police brutality on November 11th, 2011 in Oakland. We will start with a press conference and rally with an update and statement from Scott Olsen at Oscar Grant Plaza starting at 4pm.

We welcome all veterans of the 99% to lead the way and all supporters to join us as we march the streets. We march not only for injured veterans Scott Olsen, Kayvan Sabeghi and Doug Connor, but for all those who have been killed or injured as a result of police brutality.

Yea because that is what I think of when I think of Veterans day or IVAW for that matter. Also should be interesting to hear what Olsen is going to say about his past if at all.

But I am sure that few Veterans would throw in their hat in with the IVAW if they saw photos like this.

  1. They are at a gas station? Kind of reminds me of the beginning of Zoolander. Anybody got a match?

  2. “It doesn’t mean that we too can’t not die in a freak gasoline fight accident.” HA HA HA!!!!!! I guarantee that the Flag being held upside down by these waterheads is a result of sheer incompetence and hardly a political statement.

  3. “Only cowards hide their faces.”. Exactly, Tim. And Scott Olsen? I thought he was on Death’s door, unable to function? Oh, silly of me, he was texting on his way to the hospital.
    Will the Occutards protest the shit stains that threw rocks, bottles and other assorted crap that struck Olsen?

  4. The yellow sign to the left of the clown with the shiny black boots (bloused!) reads:

    Price of Gas
    4170
    US Soldiers

  5. What I can’t figure out is whether the many green things (look like frogs) in front of these incognito terrorist-attired butt wipes are their troops.
