Drug use, rapes, murders and random deaths are in every camp, all the attendant chaos one would expect when socialists, anarchists, code pink commies and feed-the-flames libmedia descend anywhere. These protestors are not even 1% of the 99%.

Citation needed, motherfucker.



Idiots put all their links in an image, so you can't click on them and read the reports for yourself... hmm, I wonder why?? Oh, it's because there were no reported murders in the links! And no reported rapes in the links! Lesser events? Yes, a few. Completely unrelated events? Why, yes, several!

Here, for your reading pleasure, are all the links the right-wing crypto-fascist zombie airheads can come up with to marginalize the "dirty hippies" on the lawn:

Links originally from Pundit Press:

From Oregon Live: Primarily about a man who showed up at Occupy Portland, dismissed it as "an eyesore" and criticized its "lack of cohesion", and was arrested within days for starting fires. Also includes a few other accounts of minor drug posession, disorderly conduct, a weapons charge, and arrests of people for charges unrelated to the Occupy camp. Occupy Portland had a problem from near the beginning with homeless people joining the camp, and there were no services from the city or state to help them.

From Denver Post: A man who made an impassioned speech in favor of the Occupy Fort Collins camp was arrested as a suspect in an ENTIRELY UNRELATED arson charge.

From Gawker: A military veteran died of a self-inflicted gunshot, and the city used it as an excuse to halt all camping.

From Fox News: A "rash" of reports that consists of 1 accusation of sexual abuse and 1 accusation of sexual assault in Zuccotti park, 1 accusation of sex with a minor in Dallas, and 1 alleged sexual assault in Cleveland. Fox inflates this to "nearly a half-dozen" reports. The article also includes a number of unsubstantiated rumors of destructive behavior by Occupy protestors in various locations around the country.

From Komo News: A man accused of indecent exposure (completely unrelated to the Occupy movement) is arrested when spotted taking part in an Occupy Seattle protest.

From Redstate: Blantaly right-wing opinion piece which includes a number of links purportedly supporting the premise that the Occupy movement is full of criminals. The very first link is about the police entrapment on the Brooklyn Bridge. One of the links is the above piece from Komo News about an unrelated exposure charge. And another is about how Iran supports the Occupy movement (fear the boogeyman!).

From Reuters: This article is about the man shot by Berkeley police in a computer lab at UC Berkeley. No ties to the Occupy movement at all. But the Occupy protest was nearby, so it must be related, right???

From ABC News: A man is arrested for firing an assault rifle at the White House. He "may have spent time with Occupy D.C. protesters."

From The Daily Cardinal: Link broken; defaults to University of Wisconsin's Daily Cardinal homepage.

From New York Post: Article is about theives preying on the lack of security at the Occupy camp. Apparently all that police overtime is really helping...

So! All these articles, and they amount to... a few isolated issues that don't nearly account for all the numbers posted, and a couple of them are for unrelated charges where the person might have been caught in or near an Occupy event.

My overall analysis: Aside from QM being full of shit as usual, it's time to let the camps go. They made a splash, but now they are just being used as fodder for the right wing lie-machines. There are just too many unrelated crazies that come to the camps and interfere with the message. It's time to Occupy the polls, and put the energy into publicly supported legislation.

http://abclocal.go.com/wabc/story?section=news/local/new_york&id=8392763

Just past midnight on Thursday the argument began between employee 31-year old Rayon McIntosh and two friends, a 24-year-woman from Queens whose family ask we not use her name and 24-year-old Rachel Edwards of Brooklyn.

It escalates to where one of the women slaps McIntosh in the face.

He retreats, as one woman climbs over the counter and the other walks around.

They both confront him when he appears with a large pipe. He starts swinging.

McIntosh reportedly served time in prison for manslaughter faces felony assault and weapons charges.

Both women are being charged with menacing and trespass.

...
Both women were hospitalized, one with a fractured skull and broken arm. The other had a laceration.

I tell you what, this sort of shit is exactly what these protesters need. If the police start manipulating people's trust in the police before handing out arrests, more people are gonna get pissed off. I'd be more happy to get pissed off at corrupt fucking police than wall street, because corrupt fucking police are given their orders by corrupt fucking government and that's where my hatred lies.
If i were the government right now, i'd be very fucking careful with what the police are doing, because oppression is one way to make this REALLY kick off and give every little group a common enemy to support each other against.
Reminds me of what michael moore said in that other video - the police are used to having power through cooperation, they're used to people doing as their told. They forget that there's fewer of them than there are of the people they're trying to control - that could get real ugly real fast; this does actually worry me a bit.
I bet the net result of this is an INCREASE in the number of protesters.


Bam. Exactly. They're using logic that came about in the past 10 years that if you make things "uncomfortable" for protesters at say G8 or something they will be marginalized and nobody will care what they're protesting. The problem is this world is more viral...more video and photos and contact than EVER before. This is us though and these are problems that concern us so a lot more people are watching this with interest and they see how the cops are treating these protesters.

>> ^EMPIRE:

the honey color is so different from region to region (and obviously in different countries).
a grea-uncle of mine is a beekeeper in his spare time, and every once in a while he sends me a whole honeycomb extracted from a single foundation like the ones they showed in this video. I have a half-eaten one in the kitchen right now, and it's sooo much darker.
Honey is great!


There was a place in Brooklyn where maraschino juice and honey were being made nearby to each other. At some points the bees would produce red-coloured honey. It was a big mystery until they put it together that the bees must be getting at the maraschino syrup while out pollinating.

Sift up at the Brooklyn Bridge?

I wonder if architectural engineers ever saw this footage before and if it would help them more accurately model WTC2's collapse..
---------

I was on R train riding to work, while at the last stop in Brooklyn conductor announced that "due to smoke conditions" at WTC station my train would be skipping that stop. So I got out a stop earlier at 'White Hall' station. I had no idea what was going on. I had my headphones on listening to music. The moment I stepped outside I heard a noise as if a helicopter and then a loud boom. I thought that was just a supersonic boom of a plane. I saw people on the street looking up in the sky and thought to myself why they are looking up in the sky, if that was a supersonic boom that plane was long gone. I still had no idea what was going on. As I got closer to my office, I crossed Wall St and suddenly I felt something like dust/dirt/tiny shards of glass falling on me and large amount of papers flying around. By the time I got to Maiden Ln where my office was I could clearly see what was happening.

If I hadn't gotten off one stop earlier, I think I would have been stuck on that train under WTC....... ;(

"i dont know where you were on the east coast but when i lived in brooklyn, walmart was trying to get in and the community came out everytime to protest."

I used to live in PA. It was chain stores and outlets for hundreds of miles to Pittsburgh, to Philly, to Baltimore, to New Jersey. I remember my parents loved it. They used to take me to SAMs, one of those Costco-esque places and the immense size of those places used to almost give me a panic attack, as I would repeat in my head "this is what is wrong with world". Even creepier when they pretty much got rid of cashiers. I mean even if I had enough money to buy shitloads of stuff - I wouldn't even have enough space to put away the sort of things you could buy at a place like that. I've only room for like 4 boxes of cereal of hopefully different varieties.

i dont know where you were on the east coast but when i lived in brooklyn, walmart was trying to get in and the community came out everytime to protest.outback made it in and closed within a year because NO ONE went out to eat there.
i loved that about brooklyn.
you didnt go to some chain supermarket for your meats,you went to frank and sals.
you got the best bagels from the corner bakery (forgot the name) or if you wanted homemade tiramsau at 4am you headed to ferreros.
all family run businesses spent the money they made right back in to the community,unlike a corporate chain.

and for those talking about corporations and how great their service is?
pffft (fart noise)
heres a story for you kids concerning the altruism of corporations:
in the 90's there were hundreds of family produce businesses catering to local resturaunts.
nobody would buy from sysco(one the largest rest. supplier).so sysco got together with such companies as allied and usfoods and they literally cut their produce by half.
they sandbagged every family operation.
so when you had the price of a case of lettuce at 10-12 bucks from the family,sysco could get it for you for 6-7 bucks.
that was too sweet a deal for the local eateries and within a year those family businesses were DONE.
and lo and behold that 12$ case of lettuce jumped to 35$ when those families were no longer in the competition.
which of course affected everything from prices to quality.
the corporation has the resources and political might to crush any family run business which leaves us all with the tired vanilla cookie cutter sameness and a lame landscape of chain stores and strip malls.an un-originality that drains the soul and sucks all the color out of any kind of uniqueness that once was the family run business.
most people dont even notice until they find their neighborhood unrecognizable.
people never notice until it directly affects them and THEIR tiny little bubble of existence and THEN it becomes a federal case of persecution.

cry me a river you self-centered twat.

First of all, You don't go kissing a stranger's child on the lips (4-year old or otherwise).
They had a right to be concerned. That was a red flag.

As for Barry Ardolf, lets list his crimes
• (Wi-Fi) Hacking
• Identity theft
• Death Threats
• Child pornography
• Framing someone for crimes he himself committed (pre-meditated)
• Harassment
And he did these things to more than one family.

It he a menace to society - Yes
Is he psychologically sound - No
Does he have a clear view of right and wrong - No

So the question is, "Is a prison sentence of 18 years in prison too much?"
As each of the crimes are treated on their own and each one carries it's own penalties, I'm not surprised at the amount of prison time his activities racked up.

Let's consider his actions. He could of just agreed, oop's my mistake, I'm clueless and didn't understand the social ramifications and fears of today's pedophilia world. But he didn't, he snapped, he went on a campaign to utterly destroy this family. He went on an "intellectual crime spree" with a pre-meditated intention to frame others for his crimes. And this was not a one time slip of reason, he also did the same thing to a "family in Brooklyn Park", making him a repeat offender.

All the signs are there. This guy sounds like he could snap (physically) any time. Home many people does he need to destroy before he decides the intellectual crimes aren't enough? What this guy needs is a good ol' evaluation of how he spends his time and on how revenge over minor things is a psychopathological act.
Also, Consider the damage he could have done if Matt Kostolnik didn't have the resources from working for a law firm - as I'm sure the Brooklyn Park family didn't. How many other people had he done this to, which went undetected?

It's sad that it all ads up to so many years but on a crime by crime basis, I guess he should have thought about that before he acted.
Do the crime - do the time.

He missed one, which could be considered Urinary Arrogance since it's not about hiding but is most useful at night on uncrowded streets. "The Brooklyn Shuffle" is just letting it out and walking in a way where the wee wee just zig zags without the need for using your hands (which makes it obvious what is going on) and you still get to keep drinking your pabst or whatever.

There's a strong Arab community near my area and I often go here to do my grocery shopping. One time I went to an Egyptian shop to buy some bulgur, and then there was a riot in Egypt. Then I went to a Yemeni restaurant in Brooklyn for some Salta and then there was a riot in Yemen. Nowadays I goto a Moroccon restaurant to get tagine for dinner, and now it looks to be a protest in Morocco.
Coincidence?!?!?!?!?!?!


Can you swing by Tim Hortons?
