Stupid fools just don't know how to respect the law.
per Reuters.
Stupid fools just don't know how to respect the law.
But if it's worth getting media attention, I don't think they are fools entirely.
The colonialists didn't respect the laws either.
you know who else didn't respect the law, the tea party.
the og tea party not the one we have now
This occupywallstreet has no direct leader or description, but in a sense has the mold of a "better tea party movement".
Sounds like the bankers that left a gazillion families without a home. When are those guys getting arrested?
tbh, Police needs to learn that actions like this actually enhance and promotes the protest. It's the Streisand effect.
Perhaps, but background checks by potential employers and landlords is not something that previous generations of activists had to deal with.
Mass arrests can have a chilling effect on the exercise of the right to general assembly, furthermore, I believe that's what this police action was intended to do.
Exactly. I don't know why we gave MLK a national holiday...the guy was a criminal and constantly talked about breaking laws and injustice.
Was there any violence or threats of violence?
If not, i am down witha bit of civil disobedience. Oh and WC, Gahndi says go yourself.
its possible he had the right permits for his speeches
Not in Birmingham.
facetious
Looks like someone is not liking these growing protests too much..
Or is it the fact that the first story isn't always correct?Looks like someone is not liking these growing protests too much..
Dan...
It's the New York Slimes. Don't worry about it, they hype everything for sales.
I'll trust USA Today, over the NY Slimes:
700 arrested on Brooklyn Bridge after protest
This explains why the protest got so illegal, as to be arrested:
Mostly, the protests have been peaceful, and the movement has shown no signs of losing steam. Celebrities like Michael Moore and Susan Sarandon even made recent stops downtown to encourage the group.
Clearly Bloomberg has lost the consent of the governed and we should bomb NYC and assassinate the mayor like we did in Libya.
On the plus side, think of how our GDP will grow from the rebuilding.
There were 3000 or so marching in Boston.
People have been screwed, people are desperate, people are pissed.
But nothing will improve.
The criminal, fraudulent financial sector has successfully blocked Warren, gutted financial regulations (Repugs are even saying less financial regulation is needed), refused to budge on mortgage relief, fights the MERS racket and robo-signing frauds, etc.
To get a Repug Exec+Congress elected, the financial sector, along with the Repugs and UCA, is refusing to lend, spend money while sitting on $Ts of cash, starving the small businesses funds and killing any hope of increased employment and consumer spending.
No pain for the financial sector and corps, because they make their $Ts overseas, in the Wall st casino, in the commodities speculation, all of which are detached, isolated from the Real Economy of Human-Americans.
Any attempts by Congress move the financial sector back to stability will be blocked by the Repugs.
America is ed, and un able, just like the un ed VRWC intended when it got organized in the 1970s and got their useful idiot St Ronnie to start their ball rolling over the USA.
3,000 protestors march towards Bank of America in Boston
On Friday afternoon, 3,000 protestors marched towards Bank of America in downtown Boston to signal their disapproval over the banks foreclosure practices. 24 people were arrested for trespassing but are unlikely to face serious charges, according to law enforcement.
“They wanted to be arrested, and we obliged,” Boston police Commissioner Edward F. Davis told the Boston Herald.
Bank of America spokesman T.J. Crawford brushed off the protestors’ actions.
“These individuals choose to ignore the facts and instead focus on increasingly aggressive PR stunts,” Crawford said told the Herald. “Bank of America has a lot to be proud of in Massachusetts, from modifying 18,000 mortgages since 2008, to lending nearly $400 million to small businesses that are fueling the local economy in the first half of 2011.”

"proud" BoA is of course totally corrupt, gouging, and still bankrupt except for accepted accounting fraud.
What did they told the group? Were you there?
Susan Sarandon is a notorious felon tbh
Agitators!
evidence for your slander?
It's not against the law to peacefully gather and protest, ever.
