Look at What Happens to Peaceful Protesters in the States

Climate change certainly got many people moving.

 

I'd like to make a very clear statement about that: if anyone ever wants to start an armed rebellion, he'd better start it somewhere else and stay out of my neighborhood -- because I have no tolerance for traitors, no matter what lofty rhetoric they cover their treason with.

Let's not forget Timothy McVeigh. He went to his grave believing he was a martyr to freedom, when they executed his sorry butt for killing all those men, women and children in Oklahoma City.

 

They better have an over-whelming majority!
Can you imagine what would happen to a small band of gun-toting "revolutionaries" in the USA?
It is one of the most laughable ideas I have ever heard.
But it should be encouraged because there's only crap on TV at the moment.

 

Our elections are a great spectator sport, I'll admit. But they'd stop being entertaining in a hurry, if people started seriously waving guns around....

 

It's just not in the realms of the possible.
It's as silly as if a group as small as the "Occupiers" pulled guns and said they were leading a charge against the government.

 

Cops Ready for War

That's a legitimate concern. When you give cops lots of money, they tend to buy lots of toys -- whether they actually need them or not. And the problem with having those toys laying around is the temptation it creates to use them, instead of using common sense to handle situations.

However, I don't agree with the alarmists who claim the cops are being deliberately armed as part of a conspiracy to suppress ordinary citizens, overturn our Constitution, and install some sort of totalitarian New World Order.

 

whats the big fight going on in congress right now. One group wants to maintain unemployment benefits for the millions who are about to drop of there benefits eligibility. The other wants to drop them like a hot potato. We've been discussing this at our meetings and the Occupy movement expects a big increase in numbers come spring when these folks no mater what run out. Its going to be sooner or later. But the masses are slowly going to see the light. Or might once a few more million loose there homes and families to the corporate economy.

This is a growing tidal wave and were it breaks is anybodies guess.

 

hell you can get arrested just for feeding the homeless.

Of course they had to really work at it, and deliberately set themselves up to be arrested.

I actually have some sympathy for the city on this one. They don't want their city parks turned into semi-permanent camps for the homeless who show up for free food, instead of being spaces for the residents to relax in.

I don't know how it is today, but twenty years ago there were places along the Intracoastal in Florida where you couldn't throw out a line without people panhandling from you, trying to borrow or steal fishing equipment from you, and just generally destroying the pleasure of fishing.

 

Very little has changed in the past 20 years!

 

I wonder if the GOP is thinking about this as they work on the legislation. That's about 3 moves ahead in a chess game for them. Good thinking.

 

well this might come as a shock troy, but I loath the homeless, rude filthy beggars who chose, for the most part, that lifestyle. Sure some of them are mentally disadvantaged, but I can think of a few people around here that are as well and they have jobs or did at one point or another. What bakes my noodle is that helping them isn't helping, they don't want to work. OK but don't blame anyone else for your choices. But and here's the rub, if someone chooses to feed them or set up a shelter or whatever, they have a right to do so. Just like that bum has a right to chose to live in the street. All they need to do is set up a time limit and then actually enforce it for people using the park. Say 6 hours max. Then you gotta leave for say 24 hours min. Who knows but there's solutions out there, that don't infringe on peoples rights. They could replace the financial penalty with a transport penalty, kinda like they do with the parks problem bears. Set up a few of those cylindrical traps, hey I think I'm onto something here. ;-)

Oh and not sure where you go fishing, when I go there's no chance of finding a bum within a hundred miles. Course I'm fly fishing which is kidna a whole different animal but still. Might drive a little further, just sayin.

 

oh and no Cat I don't thing the GOP is thinking at all, neither is the Democraps for that mater. Neither party seems to be in touch enough to realize the errors of there ways. The whole thing is a boiling cauldron of pissed off and all they need do is keep stoking the fire and its sure to boil over eventually.

the corporate economy isn't working out to well and eventually they're going to be forced one way or another to realize it.

 

and it only gets better ;-)
