  • CBT not taking OWS seriously

    ROS sends us a link to an article that makes me think that folks at the Chicago Board of Trade aren’t taking seriously the Occupy Chicago folks;

    In the middle of an Occupy Chicago teach-in this week, traders at the Chicago Board of Trade dumped several sheets of paper on top of the heads of protesters below. Demonstrators were angered to find out they were showered with employment applications for McDonald’s.

    “Real class acts, the Chicago Board of Trade,” tweeted Occupy Chicago. “This week, it’s McDonald’s job applications they litter from the windows. Soulless place.”

    This is the second incident between the two groups, following Chicago Board of Trade’s “We Are The 1%” missive plastered on their windows last month.

    The hippies were obviously confused about what to do with the job applications, either that or they were waiting for their free pens and writing desks.

  • More classy Occupy behavior

    In Portand, a man uses his toddler as a human shield while he heckles th police;

    From The Smoking Gun, an Occupier in Florida helped himself to his neighbor’s patio furniture to facilitate his own comfort at the occupation.

    On Wall Street, schoolchildren had to shove their way through ill-mannered Occupiers to get to their elementary school yesterday;

    CBS 2’s Emily Smith found little school kids trying to get to class. Nervous parents led them through the barriers on Wall Street. The NYPD helped funnel the children, anything to ease their fears while some protestors chanted “follow those kids!”

    “These guys are terrorists, yelling at little kids,” one father said.

    The LA Times reports, jn a link sent us by Tman, that businesses in the area of Occupy LA are suffering because their merchandise is growing legs and walking out the door. But listen to how Occupy leadership mitigates their shoplifting thugs;

    “Compare [the shoplifting] with the theft of homes by huge banks and I think we have a bit of context,” said Mark Lipman, a protester from Mar Vista.

    Yes, they ignore what their mothers told them and hang their hats on “two ‘wrongs’ do indeed make a ‘right’”. Abbie Hoffman would be so proud.

  • Feeding the Machine

    I just got a fund raising email from the pornograhers at Firedog Lake begging for money to supply the hippies in the Occupy Wall Street protests across the country with the things they didn’t think they needed when they started their protest in the Fall of the year;

    Jonn,

    The FDL Membership’s Occupy Supply fund has raised an incredible $120,000 – 100% of which has been committed to preparing occupations across the US for the cold winter months.

    We’ve already spent $81,835.71 on union and American-made winter weather gear, like -40 degree socks, hats, scarves, base layers, generators, food, sleeping bags and a lot more. Our reporter Kevin Gosztola has brought the Occupy Supply fund to over 50 occupations across the country, meeting with protesters and purchasing the things they need with the help of FDL members, the Machinists union, and volunteers.

    FDL Members have also organized a dedicated national supply chain of ‘Occupy Liaisons,’ working directly with the occupations to assess needs and then collaborating with the Supply Fund to quickly distribute cold weather gear to those who need it most.

    Every day, more and more occupations ask for our help – but we need your support to continue to fulfill their requests through the winter and beyond.

    I’ll bet that “more and more” are asking for their help…since begging is what hippies do best. Money down a dark hole. Surely, they don’t think they’re making an investment in America.

    As Glenn Greenwald wrote at Salon this week, the Occupy Supply fund and Occupy movement share in common that we are “not devoted to voicing grievances as much as [we are devoted to] finding a model to solve them.”1

    Oh, that’s brilliant. They’re experimenting with forms of government to produce a new order. They’re so naive, they’re almost cute.

    I wonder if they know that they’re pumping their money into the capitalist machine. I hope they buy stuff at Walmart and get their money’s worth.

    Meanwhile, actress Anne Hathaway showed to protest wth the OWS clan with her “Blackboards not bullets” sign. She decided to support the protesters even though she’s in the 1% with her fifteen million clams net worth. I guess the hypocrisy is lost on Hollywood.

  • Some OWS stuff

    I’m no Daily Show fan, but sometimes Stewart’s crowd does a great job of getting the Left to become caractures of themselves, so this is pretty good.

    Tman sends us a link to a Yahoo/SF Bay Guardian article about hippie pestulance concerns…they’re only worrying about this now? I warned them weeks ago.

    Poor sanitation and evidence of lice and fleas at the Occupy San Francisco encampment endanger the health of everyone in the overcrowded, makeshift tent city at Justin Herman Plaza, public health officials said Wednesday.

    Lice and fleas? Filthy beasts. And the parasites they brought with them are going to remain in the park after they’re gone. They ought to just fence the creatures in and make it a zoo…the last known hippies.

    Dorli Rainey, the innocent 84-year-old woman who just happened by the protest when she got hosed with pepper spray got an apology from the Seattle Mayor. Those mayors will apologize to any-damn-body for a few votes.

    Meanwhile in New York City, police are busy rounding up the criminals in the street;

    “Over 100 people arrested,” a New York Police Department spokeswoman told AFP, although organizers said the figure was twice that.”Over 100 people arrested,” a New York Police Department spokeswoman told AFP, although organizers said the figure was twice that.

    Yeah, hippie math is the reason that they’re in this mess. Occupy DC is planning on shutting down Key Bridge to Virginia, so if you haven’t left work yet, don’t go that way.

  • Zombie: Occupy Cal time-travels back to the ’60s

    Our buddy, Zombie, spent last night documenting the filthy hippies at Occupy Cal, at UC Berkeley. I kinda like the sign that says “There’s always money in the banana stand”.

    One of my favorite TV shows ever;

    But, I still hate hippies…especially the faux-poor students who didn’t have to spend their time in the military in order to afford college.

  • Occupy Wall Street trying to reoccupy Liberty Square.

    So is seems that the Occupy movement is trying get back into Liberty Square. Oh and the comments are priceless.

    Liberty Square is our home. The 1% stole the homes of thousands, but they will not steal Liberty Square! Reoccupation begins NOW!

    If you’re in the NYC area: join the thousands gathering to defend our home, our movement, and our rights! Come to Liberty Square (Zuccotti Park) now!

    If you’re elsewhere: blast this call with every form of media the 99% can muster!

    But it is the comments that are the real kicker and why there will be a disconnect between reality and OWS.

    This goes on further in the comments but you get the general idea.

  • More classy stuff from OWS

    Yeah, this is just like a Tea Party rally. This is apparently the DC crowd.

    Best comment at YouTube; @KeffieKampo Apparently government cheese comes out pretty firm.? No wiping necessary.

    And they wonder why a New York judge won’t allow them to camp out in Zucotti Park.

    Deputy Mayor Cas Holloway, in his motion to prevent the protesters’ return to the park claims that police found “makeshift items” that he said could be used as weapons.

    Of course it would have to be the deputy mayor who filed the motion because the full-fledged mayor is a gutless coward.

  • National Lawyers Guild trying to keep OWS going.

    It seems that despite past concerns about health risks from camping/squatting in Zuccotti Park the National Lawyers Guild is trying allow people to return with their tents after the the clean up is complete.

    The National Lawyers Guild says it has obtained a court order that allows Occupy Wall St. protesters to return with tents to a New York City park.

    The guild says the injunction prevents the city from enforcing park rules on Occupy Wall Street protesters.

    Mayor Michael Bloomberg says the city knew about the court order but has not seen it. He says the city plans to go court immediately.
