On November 8, a San Diego woman, taken for a “Tea Partier,” was assaulted while trying to ask questions of the Occupiers. The protesters, visibly seething with anger, attacked the woman because they thought she was invading their privacy — on a public sidewalk. The footage cuts out just as the woman is, presumably, punched in the face.
Caution, explicit language is used. Watch below:

Posted on November 10, 2011 at 11:22pmOBAMA’S ARMY is a protected class. The Woman who got attacked is lucky she doesn’t get charged with inciting a riot, and the attacker will get a medal from her Commander-in-Chief.
The problem with turning the other cheek is that the OBAMA ARMY types will view that as weakness and will escalate.
The problem with responding in kind is that the news media (another branch of OBAMA’S ARMY) will blow it all out of proportion and convince the non-thinking majority that that just proves how violent the tea party is.
Damned if we do and damned if we don’t. Isn’t life grand.

Posted on November 10, 2011 at 11:33pmI guess I will have to reconsider my idea to walk through the “Occupy MN” group with a sign that reads, “Jesus Christ – a founding member of the Tea Party Movement”, Love the way these idiots tout free speech but only if it pertains to what they believe in. How can we persuade them that they are being lied to and used by unions and communists. Once they are no longer needed, they will be scrapped off the shoes of the elitists like a piece of dog poop. .

A lot of our law enforcement agencies are afraid to deal with these OWS loons because they are afraid of the unions or the mayors of some of those cities are just plain cowards.

Posted on November 11, 2011 at 6:33amThe OWS crowd management team (CMT) will handle this internally. Just as in Sharia Law, they have their own rules and laws while they piss on this great Constitutional Republic.
As stated on the occupy websites; they intend to stay protesting (like in Egypt), until our current western way of life falls.
I have an idea – lets put it up for a vote…..”The system of government for the United States of America will be….” (pick only one)

Posted on November 11, 2011 at 9:18amDid anyone notice how the liberal ignorant bitch set the stage for the assault charge, if the District Attorney for the City of San Diego does not follow-up with charges against this woman, then the Police Officers for the City of San Diego, should not expect charges to be brought against anyone for punching one of them in the face. IT IS THE SAME THING in the eyes of Justice, citizen or police officer, makes NO difference, an assault is an assault. You can’t pick and choose who you will allow the victim to be. Learned that little bit of wisdom in the Sheriff’s Academy in San Diego, years ago.

Come on people, observe, process, theeeen comment. One of the many reasons why the police were at this event was to protect both parties right to speech. The footage does not show any police officer present when any crime was committed.

Posted on November 11, 2011 at 11:32pmAbbyGirl1994,
IMHO Dean Koontz is the finest writer of fiction of all time. He understands evil and usually allows Love and goodness to conquer it. The Odd Thomas Trilogy was outstanding. I collect signed first editions of all of his books, when He signed “Odd” he wrote “Elvis Lives” next to his name, LOL.
I just finished Glenn’s “Snow Angel”, It was a very powerful and truly moving read. A tear jerking page turner that should be mandatory for all young girls when they are beginning to date and are looking for “Mr. Right”. Many men could benefit from this book as well, if they possess the courage for personal growth and the willingness to allow vulnerability to open their hearts to their spouses.
God Bless – Ookspay
