    I saw a video of the cops beating up some of the OWS protesters. Oops.
    Then I saw this posted on another board:

    http://www.economicvoice.com/marine...ds-up-to-shameful-nypd/50024716#axzz1b5wjZlz2

    So much for OWS being a bunch of spoiled sissies etc... He doesn't look like a sissy to me.
    I can't say I'm behind OWS as a whole because frankly, they still look like a bunch of whackjobs and I only KNOW one part of their message (that ONE part, I'm totally behind) but there's so much misinformation out there, I still don't know what they're all about. Outlawing greed? $20 minimum wage? Nah, I don't want to pay $14 for a Big Mac, thanks. But from what I understand, those are from a "list of demands" floating around that wasn't actually put out by them. So who knows what they want? Not me.
    But I like this sergeant!

    Cops do whatever they want and get away with it, well, at least in NY. So it's no surprise that they'd abuse authority by whooping some innocent protesters asses and get away with it. I mean, if you can kill someone and only need to worry about a paid suspension or desk job, what the hell is assault in comparison?

    How very un-American, I could care less if you are a vet. To advocate violence on peaceful protests IS communist. You are a disgrace to the military.

    You would be the first US military person I ever knew that incites violence on their own citizens, a felony crime BTW, and if discovered, could be removed from the military based on those charges. If all is true of course.

    I don't mean to take away from the guys sacrifice or service, but I think he was being quite dramatic. Probably suffering from PTSD.

    Ah. So you fought for a Totalitarian State where the government can beat and abuse anyone whose politics differ from your own. Got it.

    When I served, we had very different ideals. But that was under that liberal president.
    Reagan.

    Tell them to leave or face arrest, then force them to move or go to jail. It's not rocket science, but it takes will. Progressive bureaucrat scumbags like Bloomberg lack will and courage.

    Does protests include camping, blocking traffic, ect? These aren't civilized adults like Tea Party members.

    How many of the protesters are veterans?

    Why are a large amount of the homeless in this country veterans?

    Are you a veteran?

    "I , BestViewedWithCable do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God. "

    I believe someone has forgotten the above I "bolded" the most relevant part. Now do I need to point to the relevant sections of the US Constitution that covers "OWS" right to protest their government, or can these be located without my help?

    It would seem some of my fellow veterans have forgotten what it means to wear the uniform, what it stands for and more importantly what we fight and die for. This man is a hero and had I been present I would have been proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with my brother.

    Freedom of speech is not only guaranteed when it is something you agree with, it's a right given to all regardless of their beliefs so long as they are not inciting to riot or being violent. These people are fully within in their rights to peacefully protest the government; in fact is our responsibility and duty to protest our government when the will of the people is being ignored.

    Veterans, I know we are getting a raw deal now that we are home. But lets not forget what we fought, bled and died for, America.

    Good night Chesty, wherever you are.

    It's insane to not want to incite violence against peaceful protesters, and fellow Americans, who are exercising their constitutional rights?

    I say let them keep banding together to reveal their true nature as authoritarian tools.

    So far we have Bestviewedwithcable, DonGlock, and Texmaster.

    Anybody else wanna join the list? Authoritarianism is cool when practiced against those you don't like!!

    You mean those Tea Party members walking around with assault rifles? Okay, having a little fun there.

    Where in the video were people camping, blocking traffic etc... ?

    I doubt very many are. Vets learned to be responsible.

    Says who?

    Yes. You?

    How about we sit in the street in front of your dwelling and block your access to your driveway for months?

    How many homeless veterans are there?
    Although flawless counts are impossible to come by – the transient nature of homeless populations presents a major difficulty – VA estimates that 107,000 veterans are homeless on any given night. Over the course of a year, approximately twice that many experience homelessness. Only eight percent of the general population can claim veteran status, but nearly one-fifth of the homeless population are veterans.

    Thats 20% Don.

    I believe open carry was legal in those areas. Did the authorities tell them that they were breaking the law and to desist?

    Which video? There are tons of OWS videos.
