Watch an Iowa Coffee House Owner Toss a Group of Occupiers Out of Her Shop

Iowa Java Joes Coffee House Owner Tosses a Group of Occupiers Out of Her Shop

Image source: YouTube

A group of Occupy protesters attempted to make a stand Friday in a Des Moines, Iowa coffee shop ahead of a planned appearance by Newt Gingrich.

The shop‘s owner wasn’t having it.

According to Yahoo! News, four or five protesters stood chanting in the middle of the crowded shop before she told them to leave.

“I’m asking you to leave! You need to leave now!” Java Joe’s owner Amy Brehm shouted at one man with a red “Occupy the Caucuses” T-shirt. “You’re not allowed to ever come back. You’re trespassing.”

It took a few moments, but protesters complied, escorted out by police.

“I just had to shut it down, I couldn’t stand it,” Brehm told Yahoo! after they left. “We all have our rights, but not in my place.”

Afterward, the protesters took their message outside the shop, as captured in this Des Moines Register video:

The so-called “Occupy the Caucuses” movement has vowed to gather hundreds of protesters in Iowa ahead of the state’s Tuesday caucuses. Protesters have been arrested in front of both Mitt Romney and Ron Paul’s Des Moines headquarters.

      Too bad they didn’t wander into the bar in the movie “a Bronx tale”. I would of loved to see their faces when the owner locked them in the building and the guys in the back came out with baseball bats. It’s just a matter of time when the occuturds wander into the wrong establishment. An owner with little money having a bad day, that despises their cause.

      “We all have our rights, but not in my place”

      Wrong Statement! This was pure red meat for those reporters. What shop owner should have said is:

      “We all have our rights, but your rights end at the threshold of violating my rights, which is disorderly conduct in my place of business where me and my employees make a living and my customers come to have coffee in a non-disruptive atmosphere! The rights violators are the OWS thugs, not my place of business.”

      That being said, she showed she had a pair. Good for her. Did you hear in the clip that CNN called the police, not the store owner? Do you think CNN was there to help the coffee shop? No, they were hoping to create news hoping violence by having the Police show up, but it backfired and didn’t get the results they were hoping for…another greedy corporate coffee shop arresting innocent OWS protesters.

      CNN are PIGS for backdoor attempts to incite a riot!

      I say again,
      These, “Useful Idiots”, are an absolutely pathetic joke. I can’t stop laughing. I’ve always known the Democrat party was a conglomerate mass of disgusting, anti-American, filth-riden reprobates but I never thought they would actually come out of their closets with such fervor. I guess Obama brings out the best in them at the behest of his puppet-master, George Soros. And to put icing on the cake, the morons in the Whitehouse and all the way down to the DNC actually believe this is helping their cause.
      Well guess what, you imbeciles, we’re Americans, not a collection of 3rd world peons who’ll bend over for every anti-American, tin-horn dictator that comes our way.
      Please continue your, “Occupy”, joke.
      The louder you Democrat pinheads get, the greater you expand & solidify, “We the Peoples”, resolve to flush you down the toilet in the 2012 elections.
      In 2010 we pushed down on the toilet handle.
      In 2012 we‘re going to use a plunger since some of you turds won’t flush!

      @ Gooch “I saw a peaceful society dealing with a minor conflict”. Yes, that is what you saw, but you also saw many peaceloving and piece-loving (to use your analogy) Americans who have no reason to put up or have to put up with this kind of crap. All people are saying here is that we respect other people’s rights until they use those rights to infringe upon our rights. Then we have the right to bust chops. Now that is the way it should be, right. And to try and equate this to the problems in the 30‘s and 40’s is so out of touvh with reality, that it is almost insane. I am freaking tired of people trying to set up moral equivalencies to situations such as these. The OWS crowd has no business disprupting the ability of the people of Iowa to vote for whom they want to vote. They can protest all they want but do it where it will not affect me or anyone else. If i want to hear them protest, I will go to their spot of protesting but if they come to where I am and I don’t want them, then we have a problem.

      Wanna hear something hilarious? I just read on Drudge that somehow OWS got the Pasadena Police department to let them enter a “float” at the end of the Rose Parade-AFTER all the other floats and bands have passed by. It’s a giant octopus symbolizing the “monster” of Wall Street and it’s “tentacles” reaching into our lives and homes.

      How is that funny? Well….human nature is predictable-they naturally associate things-and people and groups often become known by nicknames that come from the the images associated with them. AND, any marketing person will tell you that you need to be CAREFUL that the images you want to use against someone else don’t end up being associated with YOU….right?

      I propose that from this moment on, we start calling OWS protesters simply “Occupus”. *evil grin*

      I stand by my analogy. There are many taskmasters on both the left and right who would love to take the gloves off and get the useful idiots on BOTH sides to give the powermongers an excuse to bring the hammer down. Granted, the left seems to breed those with an authoritarian bent at an exponentially higher rate than the right, but, regardless of which ideology beats down the other, the end result is always the same: EVERYBODY gets screwed.
      Yep. When comparing our present state to the time periods prior to WWI and WWII, there are no similarities… except for the existence of an impotent world body that puts thugs on the same level as the civilized world (i.e., the UN ~ League of Nations), mass unemployment (CHECK), massive debt (inflation will come), an intolerant religion asserting itself (see WWI and the Muslim influence), polarization of ideologies and competition over limited resources (which equates to past imperialism).
      Dance, puppets. Or have the guts to stand up to the idiots on BOTH sides (the racists, the propagandists, the stupidly violent) and don’t make a world for children that chews them up and spits them out.
      When you can’t meet people on the battlefield of ideas out of some sense of self-righteous manifest destiny, you are doomed to repeat the past. It’s sad to see some folks so readily regress to the behavior of troglodytes. I’m all for self-defense, but this is the old “sticks and stones” saying at play.

      Gooch Standing by your analogy doesn’t necessarily make it right. I agree with most of what you say as your points are all very valid. Nevertheless, even if you stand on the jury to defend one against another headcracker, that is not much concilation to the one whose head is cracked. You also try to equate the reaction on both sides but as you stated so well, the left has done this much more exponentially. Likewise, despite the rhetoric, I doubt there are many on the right who would resort to violence first for simply off hand remarks. If you want to point to history, I think that the demonstrations of violence have much more often come from the protests of the left than the right ala the TEA party vs. the OWS people. So, as I said, to try and create a moral equivalency here between the right and the left attempts to make each side just as bad and as history has shown us, that never has been the case and just muddies the waters as to what is really happening.

      I dont know where you grew up but there is a world that chews up children and spits them out already here in the blighted neighborhoods of America. I can remember when the sound of gun fire was commonplace during the crack wars of the late 80‘s and early 90’s in Houston. Self righteous moral high grounders are just another victim to people who see violence and chaos as a way of life. You are incredibly naive if you think that you are going to reason with people who dont care if they get arrested or injured for their cause.

      I was watching a netflix show about Hells Angels last night.
      It was about the POSITIVE things they do, and the modern face of HA.
      I couldn’t help but wonder,
      what would the occupiers do if the Hells Angels showed up as “security” ala the Rolling Stones or Grateful Dead???
      I can only imagine how many of them would break into TEARS at the very SIGHT, crying for their mommies or running away shrieking something about “Hells Angels violating their human rights.”
      LOL
      Personally, I find the car fires in Hollywood highly suspect. I have to wonder, with Hollywood being an icon of the rich, 1%, would they “OCCUPY HOLLYWOOD?” (burn cars in Hollywood?)
      These people are making a laughing stock of themselves, and by endorsing them, the socialist democrats (obama) are too.
