Maria remember the violent "teabaggers" who threw rock and bricks, broke windows and ran from the police.
ReplyDeleteKeep supporting the people who do the above.
Just a note of mild caution: the Merton Center march is duly permitted, but not necessarily all of the feeder marches intending to join up with it. And it's only *intended* to be peaceful, who knows for 100%.
ReplyDeletei support non-violent protests.
ReplyDeleteprotesters that have no clear message and who act like fools and bratty kids made others look bad AND get most of the attention.
to me, they don't care about righting wrongs. they just like playing games.
there are far too many good reasons for protests to let a group of fools ruin the chance to show the world that there are serious people trying to make things better.
HTTT remember the tea party protesters were protesting to stop existing and future assistance to the poor. The G-20 protesters are protesting for assistance to the poor. Also, the tea party protest had their own network covering their demonstration.
ReplyDeleteThat said and while I understand the perceived need to make a dramatic statement, the G-20 protesters are breaking windows while people are working inside retail establishments. Some, possibly all the windows they break could belong to franchise owners of national chains, who will receive no assistance from the corporate office. So the G-20 protesters are hurting the very type of people they say they want to help. I hope police can catch the window breakers, and fine them enough to put that right.
From what I've seen, most--if not all--of the violent acts are being committed by self-proclaimed "anarchists" who are essentially libertarians without jobs IMO.
ReplyDeleteDave, all Libertarians have jobs. For starters, holding up the weight of the banner of liberty is hard work, and takes everyone.
ReplyDeleteSo, it is impossible to be a libertarian without a job.
Do feel free to slander some other group with pin-headed bigoted assumptions.
Think again, essentially....
The anarkiddies are NOT libertarians and I refuse to grant them that label if they desire it. Real anarchists respect the Principle of Nonaggression.
ReplyDeleteJust for the record (and I am taking no sides in this discussion otherwise) I am NOT the "Dave" that commented above.
ReplyDeleteJust for the record.
Ok - I'll take ONE position regarding the window-breaking anarchists: They're complete weenies.
When I read what Dave wrote at 1:16pm, I though "he has pissed off two groups". And it appears ...
ReplyDeleteGood to know Dave is not that Dave above. :)
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend all.
