What the Hell?

Murphy Thank you for reposting.

This is America not a police state! Peaceful protest is a part of America and her freedoms. This is America not Syria!

.

HP– It would be bad enough if it were only Fox, but none of the other ‘news places’ are covering it either. I hope that video goes viral and that police officer is tracked down and prosecuted. He is a criminal and those women should sue him and the NYPD for lots or money!!!

OMG Murphy…that fucking made me sick to my stomach!!

the women screaming.. chilled me to the bone!!

on the website you posted…there is a photo of a police officer..pulling a womans hair out..

https://occupywallst.org/

F#*king D*ck Monsters!!

nothin like a peaceful protest… to unleash some violent hatred on Women..
may they rot in hell!!!

where the fuck are the politicians and news media NOW..they were on LSM 24/7 calling for the governments of Egypt, Libya, Syria ect. not to use violence against peaceful protesters..
this is NYC for crying out loud… what about our citizens???….crickets!!

#3 Headclunker…actually, I may contact Bread not Bombs here in Boston and see if there are any plans to send food down to the protesters from this area…I may be able to help them.

That jack boot cowardly fascist pig boy needs 1) to be fired without retirement benefits or other compensation; 2) placed in a pen with ohh, maybe, 20 women of our choosing.
This pig happened to be taped… so what would your guess be, 10,000 to 1 like incidents that haven’t been, won’t be taped? pricks.

Where did I read: “The media doesn’t tell you what to think, it tells you what to think about.”?

I hope you are all registered on FB and Twitter. People participating in #OccupyWallSt and #OpBart have been sending live feeds in. Mainstream media is corporate media, they have a stake in what we know and what they don’t want us to know.

Here are some of the Tweeters I follow… just in case you don’t know where to start:

You’re welcome!!

I am just curious…. are folks here against police brutality or are they for the same type of “Arab Spring” me too, protest ?
Below taken from CNN.com

“The one thing we all have in common is that We Are The 99% that will no longer tolerate the greed and corruption of the 1%,” said a statement on the website Occupy Wall Street.

According to statements on the website, the movement, an offshoot of online magazine AdBusters, is angered by what it calls the principle of “profit over and above all else,” which it says has dominated not only America’s economic policies, but also the way in which Americans view culture and humanity.

Posts on the website compare the group’s efforts to those used in pro-democracy movements across the Middle East, dubbed the Arab Spring.

“On the 17th of September, we want to see 20,000 people to flood into lower Manhattan, set up beds, kitchens, peaceful barricades and occupy Wall Street for a few months,” one statement says. “Like our brothers and sisters in Egypt, Greece, Spain, and Iceland, we plan to use the revolutionary Arab Spring tactic of mass occupation to restore democracy in America. We also encourage the use of nonviolence to achieve our ends and maximize the safety of all participants.”

As has become the norm of such protests, this movement has been fueled by social media fire, with supporters taking to Twitter under the hash tag #occupywallstreet. The major hacking group Anonymous has also thrown in its support, live streaming the day’s events.

I was aware of the protest but not following closely..
so I don’t know much about their organization or their cause..
a protest against Wall Street..was okay with me.

but the brutality against these peaceful protesters is freakin unbelievable..seeing women being herded into pens and maced and ones hair being torn out by the roots..horrifies me..
and like Dances said..this was caught on tape…what is happening ..that we won’t see!
They have a right to a peaceful protest…without fear of a monster with badge and a can of mace…he should be put in jail! JMHO

good to see you ((freddie)).

Nite (((Pumas))) time for my husbands evening meds..been along day.

Thank you for the post Murphy.

Here is some NYC coverage of the event, along with the comment by councilman Peter Vallone that the protesters should all get a job.

Here is this morning’s coverage of the demonstration on local TV:

http://abclocal.go.com/wabc/story?section=news/business&id=8367385

Not as many arrests yesterday, but the demonstrators were given notices telling them the park is private property, and camping will not be tolerated.

I didn’t know that Zuccotti Park was private. I don’t know where the protesters will go from there. They will probably try to occupy the streets, which we know will bring more trouble – especially since today is a work day and commuters have to get through.

Maathai: World mourns passing of ‘true African heroine’
World leaders have paid tribute to Nobel Laureate Wangari

Maathai who passed away while having treatment for ovarian cancer on Monday.

Archbishop Desmond Tutu praised Maathai as a true “visionary African woman” and called her a “leading voice on the continent.”

He said: “Professor Maathai introduced the idea of women planting trees in Kenya to reduce poverty and conserve the environment,” in a statement released via his office.

“At last count, the Green Belt Movement she helped to found had assisted women to plant more than 40 million trees. She understood and acted on the inextricable links between poverty, rights and environmental sustainability. One can but marvel at her foresight and the scope of her success. She was a true African heroine,” the statement continued.

Just in time for obama’s motorcade.

President Obama: ” Take off your bedroom slippers, put on your marching shoes. Shake it off. Stop complaining, stop grumbling, stop crying. “

Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., said this morning that she found President Obama’s comments to the Congressional Black Caucus that they should “stop complaining” to be “a bit curious” and suggested that he would never use such language with other communities.

“I’m not sure exactly who the president was talking to,” the former chair of the CBC said on CBS’ Early Show.

This may be the officer who used the pepper spray:

I’m not sure I agree with putting his name out there, unless they are absolutely sure that it was him.

This is not the America I learned about when I was in 4th grade.

OMG – he is raffling himself off.

A chance to win dinner with obama is down to a $3.00 donation! So, anybody have a $3 bill?

This is embarrassing!

Delle #36
They’re also hawking discounted tickets to one of Oblow’s dinners due to low sales (turn out). A commenter at HillaryIs44 mentioned the event was a $1000. per plate dinner and was being hawked for $250. Maybe his legion of follows should hold out for the .99 cent happy meal.

Give him another few months of fail and he’ll be discounted.

OBAMA’S 99 cENT HAPPY MEAL – DOES IT COME WITH A BARF BAG ??

Hiya Murphy and Pumas!

I watched Sarah Palins “Undefeated” today on comcast pay4view..
I liked it a lot.

she kicked some ‘good ole boys’ ass all over Juno..ha ha
I don’t know how in the hell anyone can call this Woman stupid!!

night (((Pumas)))

Zee
Check in, please.

Also have been reading up on all the Occupy stuff…..am steaming right about now because I just read a comment that Zerobama is trying to horn in on the movement/uprising.

Just like last year’s union protest in DC…..grrrr…

You have to have a conscience to attract karmic consequences / corrections. Plus, karma doesn’t come with a little gift tag (“this is for when you lied”, etc.

Whoever sets up the messages on the teleprompter doesn’t know how to spell Michelle. Okay, but you would think that by now obama would know what his wife’s name is.

http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2011/10/obama_refers_to_his_wife_as_michael.html

He just mindlessly reads what’s in front of him. Quite disturbing actually.

Headclunker, 43 is ready.

honora — not surprised….thanks for that link. Delle, too. I’ll have to check them both later.

Good thing I ate a big breakfast because I’m just now sitting down to have a snack since then! Haha…don’t worry, I’ll make up for it tonight.

I’m not protesting, dances et al. It would be too physically grueling for me these days. Especially an occupation. But I am heading down there either tonight or tomorrow morning with food, umbrellas and tarps and whatever else I can think of.

The girls who left my home left behind bagels and bread so I thought, bagels and cream cheese and PBJ sandwiches. I had no cream cheese, so after house was clean and new guy all tucked in I headed to the store. Naturally, while there I also bought more loaves of bread, water, fruit, granola, more sandwich fillings, etc!

According to their site they most need materials to keep the protesters dry and more comfortable. People have been posting that they’re donating pizzas and boxes of hot coffee. I will be able to get them free pizzas, too…and I will also be asking my nearby bakeries for times to pick up muffins, etc before they’re discarded. I’m thinking long-term, because they are camped so close to me…less than 15 minutes during off hours.

I will also be bringing them sign materials….posterboard, markers, etc. I can also print and post fliers. I also heard they need chairs!! So I am keeping an eye peeled for discarded summer folding chairs.

I think that is the best I can do at this time, help in these kinds of ways. I can’t really stay there. If anyone has any ideas as this goes on, please post them.

Thank you for this story, Honora!!
I Agee wholeheartedly, she is a hero!

Large leaf / garden plastic bags work well as rain ponchos and are non threatening as umbrellas may be perceived to be for anyone looking for an excuse to abuse, ie the police.

This is not very important in the big scheme of things but I just heard this song and it just touched a nerve – it is not just the words but the raw earnestness of it. It is not often that I take much interest in music… PLEASE… if you know what it is – I will check back and Thank You.
If you don’t hear it. Click on the left where it says “accessories AW11″ and wait a second. I’ve only played it 10 times.

Here’s your song, freddiebrown

http://www.lyricsfreak.com/r/roger+daltrey/its+a+hard+life_20475938.html

I know what you mean about songs just hitting you…I loved one I heard on a tv commercial for one of those electronic book readers. Sadly, when I looked it up it was made for the ad only! I was so going to check out the song-writer/artist —-oh well!

Continuing my rant re disappointment :
Why would a keyboard warrior listen to, believe, and join in belittling the #occupywallstreet protesters by laughing at them and repeating this type of bs reported by oreilly: (paraphrasing) as I left I was aware of the wafts of pachoulie and marijuana….
??
Why are these protesters referred to as “hippies”. I mean, come on, gimme a break, “hippies”?? lollol can we be any more dated? Or sexist : the women wearing sleeveless t-shirts look like sluts.

Actually I like the majority of commenters over there, including TDO (who I rarely agree with, but she doesn’t tend to roll around on the crap puddles one or two over there seem to try to drag her through. These two seem to be so obsessed with TDO that it’d probably be a good idea to feature a post dedicated to trashing TDO, since, apparently they haven’t anything better to do with their lives. The obsession is so extreme that I’ve come to believe these two are trolls. Have I noted that I rarely agree with TDO? Tia true, but the obsession of the two trashers is worse than anything TDO has to say, and taints the Hill44 blog to the negative.

Ah, done. Sorry. Sometimes I just need to liberate my negative feelings.

Does this sound ominous to anyone?

“On Nov. 9, 2011, at 2 PM Eastern Standard Time (EST), the FCC and FEMA will conduct the first-ever, nationwide test of the Emergency Alert System (EAS). The purpose of the Nov. 9 test is to assess the reliability and effectiveness of the system as a way to alert the public during nationwide emergencies.”

http://www.fcc.gov/encyclopedia/emergency-alert-system-nationwide-test

I hate being such a skeptic and I don’t want to become a conspiracy nut. But it’s obama’s fault. I find everything and anything he does to be suspicious.

Anyway, mark your calenders for November 9th and get ready for the test.

I really don’t know how that happened.(above) Sorry.

Hi. {{{ PUMAS }}}

It’s morning on the West Coast. Here are some links to NYC coverage I found last night (and posted at h44 at hillaryis44.org/2011/09/28/chris-christie-or-willard-mitt-romney-the-michael-vick-of-dog-transportation/ ). Some of them may be clickable over there.

We are getting kicked out of our homes. We are forced to choose between groceries and rent. We are denied quality medical care. We are suffering from environmental pollution. We are working long hours for little pay and no rights, if we’re working at all. We are getting nothing while the other 1 percent is getting everything.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/financialcrisis/8802223/Occupy-Wall-Street-protests-spread-across-U.S.html

As police arrested hundreds of protesters on the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City, more demonstrations began to spring up across the U.S.

All the protests were inspired by the Occupy Wall Street movement which has seen hundreds of people camping out near the financial district in New York City and conducting marches calling for an end to home foreclosures and high unemployment.

……or hide under your desk

Ah yes – duck and cover. I am old enough to remember those days very well. Probably most of you just heard about them.

I think there was even a song called Duck & Cover. Helped the kids stay calm as they were sitting under their desks waiting.

Those were the days alright.

Ozero is fried chicken, he is a bucket of deep fried fat, death! on the backs, legs, breast and thighs of America!
Seems the GOP is wanting him to stay saturated in the WH. I can see all the crispy critters running on the GOP ticket are a bucket of, no thank you, can not vote for any one of those batter fried creeps. No wonder Obie thinks he is a shoe in…the die is cast.

SO maybe NYPD behavior is kind of relevant, after all….

As for OWS, here’s what they’re actually saying about Obama. Not very nice!

This article posted at the OWS website is very sceptical of Obama (though saying there is some common ground in O’s claims for his tax plan and urging a letterwriting campaign TO Obama).

The article comments are full of negative statements about Obama. I haven’t seen any positives.

https://occupywallst.org/forum/president-obama-and-the-occupy-wall-st-protesters-/

This is NOT about SUPPORTING Obama> This is about USING an opportunity and a common goal to achieve forward movement> IE> Bring corporations down to size

[....]
I mentioned posting on Obama’s Facebook page to tell him that he has proven to NOT be for the people by not responding/helping with this protest.
[....]
Obama’s tax-talk is just talk. Just trying to look like the ‘lesser evil’ but the two-party system is a false paradigm. Ignore the talk, watch what they do, very carefully. I do. Obama appointed about 40 CEO’s/lobbyists to top gov positions, including JP Morgan’s man as his Chief of Staff, Monsanto man to head up USDA, another Monsanto man to head up Food Safety at USDA and despite the fact GE shipped out 200,000 US jobs, Obama appointed GE’s CEO for JobCzar. Obama appointed Feinberg to handle claims for the victims of the Gulf oil disaster but Feinberg’s usual clients include EXXON, DOW, DuPont, Raytheon, Citibank and dozens of other corporations, all just a greedy. It’s no wonder some fishermen have not seen a penny; now they’re broke and sick from the poisonous dispersant.
Obama did not speak up for, or walk, with the workers in Wisconsin like he promised he would, because he doesn’t stand up for regular People at all. Obama went out of his way to protect BP
[....]
Just remember the corporate appointments by this ‘Let them eat poison’ POTUS and I hope you realize it’s best not to waste a minute counting on Obama
[....]
What you fail to realize is Obama is a front man for Wall Street despite his rhetoric. Do your research and you will find that they were the largest contributors to his campaign.
[....]
Obama’s administration is full of Wall Street figures.
WALL STREET OWNS OBAMA. HE’S COMPROMISED.
[....]

Is Wall Street is the answer to all this country’s woes ?

I was posting on a CNN (daily) write up on the protest and one guy said that he was sick of working for all these rich folks ? Really ? Let me see how he likes working for the poor folk. Is there a name for such a thing? Like oxymoron or just moron ?

I don’t want to belittle the folks there, but really, wall street cannot be the answer to what I am not happy about this country. Lets lay the blame squarely where it belongs.

Of course Obama is not my president. He should never be anyone’s president.

OK, if anyone needs to get their blood boiling today, read what an Islamic hell hole part of Russia has turned into:

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2011/09/30/terror-attacks-escalate-against-women-in-bikinis-in-russia-s-dagestan.html

They are bombing women who show up in bikinis at the beach, shooting women with paint guns who wear sleeveless shirts, draping them head to toe….and this is mandated from the top: women are forbidden to enter state buildings, etc.
