Constitutional rights don't matter when the government decides they don't like something. It's really a shame that the police are obeying these illegal orders to attack and arrest peaceful protesters. They are supposed to be on our side! Fucking disgraceful.BoneSnapDeez wrote:Frown: Occupy protest shut down. I was threatened with arrest and physical violence.
Those cops make me sick. There you are, trying to help improve the country, and they choose to illegally stop you. They are just as corrupt as the major corporations, bankers and the government.BoneSnapDeez wrote:It was quite a bizarre scene. The police came and were forcing people out of the park. Although I've been participating in the Occupy, I never actually camped out overnight, so I had no belongings with me. When I was told to "pack up my shit and leave" I stated that I had nothing with me: no tent, cooking gear, etc. Then I was told that I had to leave. I asked a police officer if it was legal to kick a non-violent citizen out of a public park, I was told I had to remove myself or else risk getting "fucked up".
Was any of this recorded? I say now is the time to start suing police departments.BoneSnapDeez wrote:It was quite a bizarre scene. The police came and were forcing people out of the park.

Good idea, but sadly most of the judges have been bought out as well. Still, I think it's worth trying.o.pwuaioc wrote:Was any of this recorded? I say now is the time to start suing police departments.
When we were kids (around 12), we used to pelt cars/buses/trucks with snowballs all the time. I don't see kids doing that anymore.Jmustang1968 wrote:On my way home from work today, some punks in a truck shot paintballs at my car as they were exiting the highway.
I think "keying" other people's cars is more popular these days.gtmtnbiker wrote:When we were kids (around 12), we used to pelt cars/buses/trucks with snowballs all the time.

Right here!! Ahh, that takes me back.. I'm 30 now, but when my friends and I were about 12 or 13, we used to hock gravel and small rocks at cars from nearby ditches.. One time, a bright yellow corvette came cruising around the bend at at least 20 mph over the local speed limit. My buddy and I grabbed a couple of nearby tomatoes (seriously!) and fast-balled the damn things onto this douche-nozzle's passenger-side door.gtmtnbiker wrote: When we were kids (around 12), we used to pelt cars/buses/trucks with snowballs all the time.

That's awesome.Ack wrote:Smile: Turner Broadcasting called me back. They are moving ahead with creating the position and want me to fill out the necessary paperwork for a background check. According to the recruiter, the plan is to offer me a position next Monday, with Jan. 9 serving as my tentative start date.
I'm excited, nervous, happy, anxious, and terrified it will somehow all fall through.
