Story

Apparently Denver politicians and their enforcers are finding it impossible to deal with the Occupy folks because there is no Occupy leader that the officials can coerce into bringing the Occupy people to heel. Rather than having to coerce each individual protester, then, the officials are insisting that the protesters choose a leader for them to coerce.

So a group of the protesters (not all of them: they have no leader to compel them to do so) elected a dog to be their leader. The dog, through her agents, is now looking to meet with Governor Hickenlooper on behalf of Occupy Denver.

The Occupy folks are drastically wrong about a number of things, and economically clueless; but they do show how much trouble an unarmed voluntaryist community can give a coercive State.

Those with a mind to think should take note and remember.

Undoubtedly the State will eventually use force to get rid of the Occupy people, probably injuring a number of them and possibly killing a few; force is all the State knows. But they'll become martyrs and millstones around the State's neck if so, and they'll be remembered just like the students murdered at Kent State, the MOVE members murdered in West Philadelphia, the Weavers murdered at Ruby Ridge, the Davidians murdered in Waco, and so many others.

Hard-core State-worshiping conservatives may be convinced that whomever the State murders must by definition deserve it; but there are a lot of smarter folks out there who will see through the State propaganda.

At the moment, yes: none of them have been murdered yet.

Slow night eh?

The State of Colorado isnt exactly known for it's Gestapo like tactics...

I'm sure most of the protestors will leave on their own power. A few $hitheads will chain themselves to benches, trees, etc. They'll get just as hurt as the officers will dragging them to the Paddy Wagon.

Martyrs? I think not.

There are Occupy protesters in much harder-core jackbooted places than Denver--New York, Chicago, Detroit, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and like that. The fat lady isn't even in the building yet. We'll see.

I find it amusing how forum members bash cities for being "liberal cess pools" when it fits their agenda, and then another forum member calls the exact same cities "harder core jackbooted places". smile

OWS is a joke. There might of been a shred of credibility to a fraction of it when it started, but any and all of that has been lost a long time ago. And I emphasize MIGHT of been...

The remaining protestors are basically homeless people who are happy they have a excuse for their situation. The drug addicts, criminals and mentally deranged are all that are left. They need to go back under the bridge and leave the parks and other public places.

Bullsh**. The Denver police have shown remarkable restraint, and were even complimented for it by the "occupiers."

Just wishful thinking on your part, so you'll have something to bitch and complain about.

What do liberal cesspools have a lot of? Government, right? Lots of government translates into lots of dumb laws and statutes and regulations, which eventually require lots of jackbooted State thugs to enforce.

Liberals revere the laws and curse the thugs; conservatives curse the laws and revere the thugs. Neither group sees how inseparably connected they are.

Right into the arms of their victims, along with a fistful of free passes for the victims or their assigns to pursue the remainder of justice in whatever fashion seemed best to them? Hey--it'd be tough to come up with a better solution to prison overcrowding than that.

It'd also be a whole lot more effective in deterring crime than any prison I've ever seen--and I've seen a number of them.

And a whole lot cheaper.

It'll never happen, though: it'd take too much power away from the State.

"We'll see" is correct; but these freaks anger is non-directional with no clear goal. They're angry at a lack of drugs and no free obama cheese. They may fail.
US policy is not to negotiate with terrorists.



However, if their anger was turned towards congress, they might get indictments for theft.

Neat,.....great way to develop a "World View" if that's what you NEED,...

How, if I might ask does THAT qualify one to speak about FREEDOM ?

Gimme a break....like we should waste the effort giving these intellectually vacant morons another 5 minutes of TV time.I haven't heard such wide spread stupidity since the 60's.....or at least the last Obama press conference...

As to "state worshippers",I see a lot more of that mentality coming from the "Left" than from conservatives....and it's a mantra of the Occupy Gang,if you hadn't noticed....."We want government to do everything for us...."

I assume that means clearing the streets of primeval ooze as well....?

Not real SURE about what you're asking there, sport, is that a "Trick Question" ?

Been FREE my entire life....Can't see that changing,....
Not in my immediate vicinity, anyhoo.

Must be a "Mindset" kinda' deal.

#1 No love lost when idiots who have never paid taxs or held a job protest in the streets.

#2 No love lost for the idiots who run state county and federal government and think themselves above the law of the land and the constitution.

seeing both groups stalled in the mud makes me smile.
I love it when things fall apart at the seams.

Take notes?
GD right TAKE NOTES.

both groups are doing nothing. They are like a little boy tugging on his pecker because he doesnt knkow what to do with his hands.

useless turds. flush them all, I say.
