Riot police entered and cleared the building making 24 arrests.

Posted on December 1, 2011 at 8:42pmDid anyone else see the blonde jackass in the camo jacket? He should get an Oscar for the wrestling type move he pulled! He dramatically throws himself into the side of the van, then slams his OWN head into the van while holding up “peace” signs…. What a ********! Someone needs to identify him and ask him if his parents got their money’s worth out of those drama lessons!

Posted on December 1, 2011 at 2:45pmTowards the end of the clip the blond duffus with the ugly cammo flailing about all by himself on the side of the truck with his arms in the air cracks me up. It‘s such a failed act to look like he’s getting it worse than he did, which was “not really”.

Posted on December 1, 2011 at 1:13pmSo 60 stormed the building and 25 were arrested. Is it safe to assume that the other 35 were KIA?
I hope so. The only way to stop the OWS movement is a really high kill ratio.

Posted on December 1, 2011 at 10:20amReady for the next “announced” Occupation ? Have read for about a month that our ” 99% Baloney“ Crowd is planning to ”occupy” the courts ( special focus on the Supreme Court regarding their pending Citizens United decision ). Am sick and tired of the Mob/ Union / Chicago style bullying of this small group of Big Liars who keep repeating that 99% expression in order to make it accepted as “true.” That favorite Lefty mouthpiece, The New York Times, is promoting this 99% Baloney today by asking their readers to send in photos, etc. depicting the ” 99% “ and ”1% ” being used. Oh, the Far Left is trying soooooooo hard to make people believe that this small group of anti-capitalist, anti-American, anarchists really do represent that ridiculous number. The Far Left: Masters of Media Manipulation ; Masters of Propaganda . Masters of Alinsky .

Posted on December 1, 2011 at 9:12amYou might have to search ‘Rand Paul’. He was trying to de-fang the bill yesterday. (unsuccessfully) Not too many ‘conservatives’ talking about this bill. But it brings the ‘battlefield to the American homeland. I can’t believe no one is discussing this. That alone makes me question my fellow conservatives.

Glenn is right if we lose Texas we lose the Republic, daily more and more of these socialists invade this state and attempt to change us into their Utopia. Its not just Austin that’s weird, they are taking over Fort Worth, Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio. They try that crap in my business and you better bring the body bags.

Posted on December 1, 2011 at 7:34amThey have already been storming government buildings here in the states, and soon enough they will be bearing firearms for usage as well if the pattern of escalation continues; so why would the linked bands of these OWS and their European counterparts not act the same?
Its like they say, radical extremists of a feather flock togeather.
