University of California, Berkeley students faced campus police action today after they ignored a weekend deadline to clear out of their makeshift encampment. The encampment in question, which was named “Occupy the Farm” for the distinctive agricultural focus of the camp dwellers, was raided by the university’s campus police force today in a series of episodes that were captured on video by the Associated Press:

Report Post »This is the result of all that debt…ignorant leaches. If Brown raises taxes all the rich will move out…then the debt will be dumped on the rest of the nation.

Posted on May 15, 2012 at 1:40amSo Berkeley isn’t so liberal after all.
Its OK to occupy – just not on their campus.
Maybe the occupiers can go to the professors’ home that promote this type of activity – and stay with them!
OR
Better yet, occupy the public spaces of Berkley. The occupy movement could use their free-WIFI, use their restrooms and showers, use their libraries, and if someone needs medical attention – they could use one of the campus clinics. All around the protection of Berkley and its university police force. This is what the university promotes – correct?

Posted on May 14, 2012 at 9:50pmThey were supposed to be occupying a farm? I didn’t see any fruit trees, live chickens, growing vegetables, or any of the things that farms are designed to do. Which is to feed people. All I saw was a boring video of some tired-looking hippies being marched off to the pokey by some indifferent cops, in the middle of an urban setting. Those fleabaggers are so stoned that they can’t even stage a decent riot.

Posted on May 14, 2012 at 8:16pmShould have left them alone, and fully fenced in their compound. When these occutards come to the conclusion that communism doesn’t work after the farm fails, and “residents” begin to starve because only a select few are doing all of the work for the majority that are busy tweeting their reasons for being ignorant, they will want to come out. But since they broke the law, jail will be simple…..they’re already fenced in :)

Posted on May 14, 2012 at 6:21pmGetting arrested accomplishes little. The only ones with guns and weapons are the police. This is not how it is suppose to be. Americans are to carry guns and weapons for protection of their person and private property. Wake up America. The right to bear arms is Your last stand. Most are sidelined in fear.
“Firearms stand NEXT IN IMPORTANCE TO THE CONSTITUTION ITSELF. They are the American PEOPLES TEETH and keystone under Independence.” George Washington
“THE STRONGEST REASON for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, TO PROTECT AGAINST TYRANNY in government” . Thomas Jefferson:
Ideas are more powerful than guns. We would not let our enemies have guns, why should we let them have ideas. -Josef Stalin
Every good communist should know that political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.
-Mao Tse Tung
An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life. -Robert A. Heinlein
“ARMS LIKE LAWS discourage and keep the invader and the plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property. THE BALANCE OF POWERS IS THE SCALE OF PEACE.” Thomas Paine

Posted on May 14, 2012 at 5:48pmI have a wonderful solution for the pigs. They could buy their own property and use it for a farm. Or better yet, go to the homes of one of the parents of one of the pigs and tear up the front and back yard.

Why are these “occupy” freaks always tolerated for a period of time, everywhere they go?
They are always given time to set up camp and call in the media for news coverage.
Only then, do the authorities order them off, and give them a deadline to leave.
These people are like head LICE. Hit them hard and fast, before they have time to settle in, multiply, and infest. They should be throw off of any property they occupy, the second they step foot on the property. “Nix” the H*LL out of them.

Why don’t these people do something useful, that will actually benefit society?
It would be truly appreciated and noticed by all, if they would just simply pick up some of the trash from along the sides of roads or off the city streets.
Instead, they are the ones trashing up everything they come in contact with. They disrupt the lives of hard working citizens and business owners, who are tax payers.

Posted on May 14, 2012 at 5:45pmI have no, nada, zip, zero sympathy for Berkeley and especially their PD. These creeps allowed the Marine Recruiting office be repeatedly picketed and vandalized. Yhey would just stand by and watch.
I find it highly ironic, however, that when you step on a liberals toes you get the full force of “the law” on your back.

Posted on May 14, 2012 at 7:05pmHow many here have seen occupiers up close and personal? Occupiers need to be left on the Berkley Campus, a liberal bastion, as a teaching moment. They wreak of ‘looser’, all of them. I wouldn’t want to be one of the even if I believe in their worthless causes. Most who go to college aspire to be winners, or at least want to get ahead, otherwise why waste the time. Let students see what looser are. For some students it is or will be an awakening.
