jacee Posted November 8, 2011 Author Report Posted November 8, 2011 (edited) Where else do 100,000 people walk? I read another report (somewhere else) of police forcing people off the sidewalks, then arresting them. The shared purpose here is to allow peaceful protest in great numbers, and avoid any further violence. And that's a police responsibility to all of us. There is no justification for violence by the state. Police discretion - what is safer - is paramount. Stuck in traffic ? Get out and walk. Get a grip. It's ONE day. Look on the bright side: It isn't a multicar pileup where people died, Which is probably statistically more likely on any given day. Edited November 8, 2011 by jacee Quote
jacee Posted November 8, 2011 Author Report Posted November 8, 2011 Nice. Not sure if Iv every atually met anyone thats PRO Economic collapse before. It explains a lot actually.

Shady Posted November 8, 2011 Report Posted November 8, 2011 Stuck in traffic ? Get out and walk. Perhaps most people with a job don't have time to walk. Get a grip. It's ONE day. Keep pissing off the rest of the 99%, and see how far your stupid protests go. Quote

jacee Posted November 8, 2011 Author Report Posted November 8, 2011 (edited) The number of tents continues to grow at Occupy Vancouver in Vancouver on Monday One of the campers Lauran Gill, also said occupiers will remain at the site“Once they get that injunction, people are not going to leave,” she said. “People are willing to get arrested.” Protesters at the Occupy Victoria linked arms and surrounded the site’s main tent just before the city’s Monday noon deadline to remove their tents ... Police did not issue tickets on Monday.“We’re not going anywhere,” said protester Robert Barron. -“People are coming so we can show solidarity.” Edited November 8, 2011 by jacee Quote
Shady Posted November 8, 2011 Report Posted November 8, 2011 We’re not going anywhere,” said protester Robert Barron. I don't doubt him. When you refuse to get a job, you have a lot of free time on your hands. I really hate that my tax dollars fund his waste of a life. Quote
jacee Posted November 8, 2011 Author Report Posted November 8, 2011 (edited) Canadians tend to view Occupy protests in positive light: poll The Nanos Research poll conducted for The Globe and Mail and La Presse found that 58 per cent of Canadians who are aware of the protests have a favourable or somewhat favourable impression of them. Wouldn't Harper, or any politician, love to have that kind of support! Edited November 8, 2011 by jacee Quote

Bonam Posted November 8, 2011 Report Posted November 8, 2011 That number will continue to drop as time goes by and people learn more about the protesters and their motives. Yep, especially so long as the protestors keep behaving like hooligans. Quote
GostHacked Posted November 8, 2011 Report Posted November 8, 2011 Yep, especially so long as the protestors keep behaving like hooligans. Watch for the agent provocateurs!! We've seen it done before. Don't think for a moment that they would not try it again in the Occupy movement. This is probably the main reason we saw what we did in Oakland CA. Quote
Bonam Posted November 8, 2011 Report Posted November 8, 2011 (edited) Yes, I'm sure the crowds of people blocking the highway were all "agent provocateurs" too. Edited November 8, 2011 by Bonam Quote
Shady Posted November 8, 2011 Report Posted November 8, 2011 Yes, I'm sure the crowds of people blocking the highway were all "agent provocateurs" too. Exactly. Same with all the people shitting in the park. Quote
GostHacked Posted November 8, 2011 Report Posted November 8, 2011 Yes, I'm sure the crowds of people blocking the highway were all "agent provocateurs" too. He I have proven that agent provocateurs have been involved in stuff like this in the past. Sure not all of these protestors are hooligans. But be aware that cops are infiltrating these groups undercover. Quote
GostHacked Posted November 8, 2011 Report Posted November 8, 2011 Exactly. Same with all the people shitting in the park. Our leaders have shit all over us and our countries. Quote
Shady Posted November 8, 2011 Report Posted November 8, 2011 Our leaders have shit all over us and our countries. That's an opinion. Unfortunately the gross conditions of the parks is reality. Quote
GostHacked Posted November 8, 2011 Report Posted November 8, 2011 That's an opinion. Unfortunately the gross conditions of the parks is reality. Let me pull one of yours on you. Have you gone down and witnessed it for yourself? Quote
cybercoma Posted November 8, 2011 Report Posted November 8, 2011 Yes, I'm sure the crowds of people blocking the highway were all "agent provocateurs" too. Oh, who cares about a blocked highway. Stop and smell the roses every now and then. Quote
jacee Posted November 8, 2011 Author Report Posted November 8, 2011 (edited) That's an opinion. Unfortunately the gross conditions of the parks is reality. Some communities refuse basic municipal services and then whine about the 'conditions'. Other communities accommodate protesters the best they can and have far fewer problems. Vancouver's problem is the election and the politicians using protesters for political gain. Once the election posturing is over, things will calm down. Edited November 8, 2011 by jacee Quote
Shady Posted November 8, 2011 Report Posted November 8, 2011 Oh, who cares about a blocked highway. I'm sure the people that were trying to use the highway did. Anyways, who did they "take back" the highway from? Quote
Shady Posted November 8, 2011 Report Posted November 8, 2011 Looks like OWS continues to win hearts and minds.... Street Cart Vendors Hurting After ‘Occupy’ Group Splatters Blood, UrineSAN DIEGO (CBS) — A pair of Southland street cart vendors who were forced to shut down their businesses after “Occupy” protesters vandalized their carts are hoping to get some help from local residents.

BubberMiley Posted November 8, 2011 Report Posted November 8, 2011 Looks like OWS continues to win hearts and minds.... It's funny that you are so worried about whether the OWS protestors are winning the hearts and minds of the public. The fact that you are paying any attention to them at all kind of suggests you must be in roughly the same age demographic. Otherwise you would recognize them for what they are and you wouldn't be so concerned. Quote "I think it's fun watching the waldick get all excited/knickers in a knot over something." -scribblet

Can you blame me? Quote
Shady Posted November 8, 2011 Report Posted November 8, 2011 I'm beginning to think that OWS might represent the worst of our society, and if they disappeared tomorrow, everybody would be the better for it. Quote

Remember that time the police raided the municipal offices because the garbage workers went on strike and refuse was piling up all over Toronto? Yeah, me neither. Quote
