#4. To: A K A Stone (#1) How dare anyone sit on the sidewalk in America. Sidewalk huh? I guess that explains the police cruiser that drove through after removing the 'protesters'. And whats up with the guy saying 'thats fine' after being informed the police would be using pepper spray to remove them? Thanks for the laugh Stone.
#5. To: A K A Stone (#1) How dare anyone sit on the sidewalk in America. Where do people get to thinking that they have the right to assemble like that? What? Its in the Constitution? Never mind. whataburger300 35 minutes ago Davis primarily is in business to do research and come up with the next grain,fruit or vegetable that doesn't die when sprayed with every toxin known to man. How dare those protesters get in the way of Con Agra's obtaining it's next big money maker.
Hopefully they are trying to engineer a cow that produces oil instead of milk, that'll keep the donations coming. "ROTFLMAO... Perfect!

The pigs were standing in the road too. Where are the cars? They are blocking the road far less then after a sporting event or concert. Should I expect to get pepper sprayed after attending the next AC/DC concert?

You'll see the police car about ten yards back starting at the 8 second mark. UC Davis campus police were given an order to take down an encampment and in the process they were obstructed by a number of protesters. The police did a great job balancing the need to maintain order with the 'students' right to protest. Its only because of a biased media, and a pusillanimous school chancelor that this story has any legs.
#11. To: lucysmom (#7) What..no attribution to the enthusiastic Nazi clergyman who penned them? Lolz.
#12. To: Thunderbird (#10) That is not a road. It is a walking path as far as I can tell. The cop car takes up over half of the road. When a lot of people are protesting it is going to block some people. So what. If they people were attacking someone. Or damaging someones property. They might have a cause. But sitting there with locked arms is a peaceful protest. Most cops I've encountered are scumbag liars.
#13. To: Thunderbird (#10) Also just because a cop car is there doesn't mean it is a public road. I've seen cop cars in the grass before. It wasn't a road.
#14. To: A K A Stone (#13) The kids sat down in the road to block the police from doing their job, they were told what the consequences would be if they didn't move, they were even given time to prepare themselves, before they were sprayed. Pepper spray causes temporary discomfort and is quite effective at breaking down passive resistance to lawful orders. This might as well have been a text book example of how to apply minimal force to remove obstructors. -btw I am amused by all the media reports that the police were 'caught' doing this, considering how every one there was recording the event.

On a walkway paid for with tax dollars. Most cops suck.
#16. To: A K A Stone (#15) If you watch the video the police do not go after anyone that isn't blocking their egress. The Constitution doesn't give you the right to obstruct anyone..something these punks learned the hard way.
#17. To: Thunderbird (#16) (Edited) If you watch the video the police do not go after anyone that isn't blocking their egress. The Constitution doesn't give you the right to obstruct anyone..something these punks learned the hard way. Not true. They sprayed several people sitting in the grass. These were peaceful protesters not harming anyone. Look at all the open area. They weren't blocking anything. Show me the road they were blocking. maps.google.com/maps/ms?t...579.000454fc1db364844f84f
#18. To: Thunderbird (#16) It was a sidewalk they were sitting on. If they were in the grass you folks would be saying they weren't allowed to be in the grass because they would kill it.
#19. To: A K A Stone (#15) (Edited) Most cops suck. Cops who stand around watching these heinous crimes and do nothing, warrant no special badges either. Their 'blue line of silence' is a piss poor excuse for their own cowardice! jmho~ "OWS! Liberals! Their goal is to find a way to live within the means of the working class rich, but without the work." #20. To: Murron (#19) (Edited)
#21. To: A K A Stone (#17) Not true. They sprayed several people sitting in the grass. Those people sitting on the grass who were sprayed had locked arms with the people sitting in the road. They were sprayed so the officers could safely remove the obstructive protesters from the road and allow their patrol car to leave. Any objective observer can see the police were not spraying people indiscriminately, in fact in a number of instances they let sprayed protesters alone once they were no longer in their way. Furthermore, by announcing well ahead of time that they were going to employ pepper spray, to the point of even getting a go ahead from one of the protest leaders, anyone who suffered the inhalation of spray did so of their own volition. Stone, you do realize the purpose of the 'sit down' was to prevent the police from leaving don't you?
#22. To: A K A Stone (#18) If they were in the grass you folks would be saying they weren't allowed to be in the grass because they would kill it. Occutards are not friendly towards the environment that is true. However, I suggest you save your moral outrage for a group and a situation more deserving.
#23. To: Thunderbird (#21) Those people sitting on the grass who were sprayed had locked arms with the people sitting in the road. Show me where it is against the law to lock arms. Show me where it is against the law to sit on a sidewalk. If ten people were standing and talking on the sidewalk. They would be blocking traffic. Then they could be pepper sprayed according to you right?
#24. To: Thunderbird (#21) Stone, you do realize the purpose of the 'sit down' was to prevent the police from leaving don't you? No. But does that matter. I'm not saying I agree with their goals. I just don't mind people protesting.
#25. To: Thunderbird (#21) (Edited) ...with the people sitting in the road. They were not sitting on a "road"; they were sitting on one of the walkways that leads to Sproul Plaza. The nearest "road" is Bancroft Way about 2-300 yards south. I'll believe that a corporation is a person 1 second after Texas executes one... #26. To: Thunderbird (#21) Turdbird, you apparently create your own reality.
#27. To: war (#25) They were not sitting on a "road"; they were sitting on one of the walkways that leads to Sproul Plaza. They were blocking the egress of a campus patrol car..its on the video I posted. -btw Sproul Plaza is about 100 miles from this event.
#28. To: Fred Mertz (#26) Chug another beer Freddie..so you'll feel like a man.
#29. To: Thunderbird (#28) Chug this, tea bagger - and don't bruise your chin.
#30. To: Fred Mertz (#29) Lol. I'd need a microscope to find your manparts Freddie..you're strictly a receiver.
#31. To: Thunderbird (#30) Lol. I'd need a microscope to find your manparts Freddie..you're strictly a receiver. And so called conservatives will always eventually get to their REAL topic of interest. "ROTFLMAO... Perfect!

Head Tea Bagger and Tea Party supporter extraordinaire, explicitly expressing his fantasies in public about other posters. #32. To: A K A Stone (#24) No. But does that matter. Of course it matters. The goal of the Occupy Davis protest was to spark a confrontation with police.
#33. To: Thunderbird (#27) (Edited) They were blocking the egress of a campus patrol car..its on the video I posted. Right. sorry. It's UC Davis. They were on the one side of Mrack Hall that that has a double walkway. ON the other side of Mrack there is a circle but they were not at the circle which is a green surrounded by a very wide - four lanes - street and also buildings - Mrack and I believe the law library. If you look at the video when the Chancellor leaves her office, she is walking on the same walkway her car as the walkway extends to the parking lot on the side of the building. Happy Thanksgiving... I'll believe that a corporation is a person 1 second after Texas executes one... #34. To: Thunderbird (#32) The goal of the Occupy Davis protest was to spark a confrontation with police. Corporations can and do spend big money on lobbyists to get the ear of politicians. They also have money to buy media space to promote their agenda with the peeps, and money to fund think tanks such as The Heritage Foundation, Cato Institute, Family Research Council - etc. to refine their message. We call that free speech. The peeps have their bodies which they've been willing to put on the line in the form of demonstrations for the purpose of getting the ear of politicians, the media, and regular folks. This is also free speech. Wall Street owns the country…Our laws are the output of a system which clothes rascals in robes and honesty in rags. The [political] parties lie to us and the political speakers mislead us…Money rules. Mary Elizabeth Lease, 1890 #35. To: war, Thunderbird. mininggold (#33) Happy Thanksgiving. I'm going to have to side with the house liberals on this one. If we want free speech they have to have it too. They weren't violent. They were sitting peacefully in this one instance. If they can get pepper sprayed. Then using Thunderbirds logic then you can also spray people who stop walking on a sidewalk. You can spray people leaving or going to a concert or a fair. It wasn't right what the pigs did.

We call that free speech. In it's new contemporary form, 'Free speech' only has value if it is followed with a bribe or a reciprocal action of some sort for the purpose of doing business. It has become just another traded commodity, like most of our other 'rights' guaranteed by the constitution. "ROTFLMAO... Perfect!

The supremes slapped them down though.
#38. To: A K A Stone (#37) Unbelievable isn't it. Just recently the libs tried to take free speech away. The supremes slapped them down though.

No. Why do you want to change your screen name to your real name?
#40. To: A K A Stone (#37) Unbelievable isn't it. Just recently the libs tried to take free speech away. The supremes slapped them down though.
