Dozens arrested as 'Occupy Wall Street' marks 6 months - CNN.com (http://edition.cnn.com/2012/03/18/us/new-york-occupy-arrests/index.html?hpt=hp_t3)
Apparently, winter over, the occupy mob is back in business attempting once again to occupy Wall Street. This time their efforts were greeted with a united front along the lines of not again, not on my turf. I wonder if we will see a similar resurgence in other places after all there is nothing like a nice bivouac in the park, nights around the camp fire singing byyah

They caused over 10,000 dollar damage to our local park here, not to add the extra money for police and other issues during their stay. But our politically correct government will not sue the leaders of the group for damages. If my doggie dug up the grass in that same park I would get a citation from the police, they >>>> on the ground, damage trees, kill the grass,and nothing is done. A wonder if this was a mob of Christians demanding something moral to be done, if they would still be so loving to the damages caused

Ah Chuck, you know Christians are an endangered species, dispised from the earliest times, and usually less likely to damage public property, whereas the occupy mob are just a group of misguided youth who have never been taught not to deface public property, perhaps this time around some lessons might be handed out

They slinked out of their hyberation holes. I would've thought that they would've used the Obama recovery to get themselves some meaningful employment.
I suggest going to North Dakota where the unemployment rate is very low... why ? Because they drill drill drill.

It's just because we're having amazing weather here in the northeast. It's sunny and 70º right now, and we're expecting 80's later this week.
I'd like to leave my job early just to join them today, it's so nice out.

So you think none of the occupy people are christians?

I'm sure some are Christians but all it took to get the riot gear out in Quincy, IL was for a bunch of grandmotherly Tea Partiers (http://www.wnd.com/2010/04/147417/) to show up (https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/current-events/video-tea-party-tax-day-protest-466344-4.html#post2334514). God knows what might have happened had they littered or drove their electric scooters too fast.

Well Karma Christians are probably represented among them just as they are in any other group, but I would have thought Christians might have had other things to do, no Chuck was comparing the light touch with which these people have been handled with the way Christians who protested would be handled, that is, if Christians protested.

Hello, clete:
Let me see...
We got a HEATED presidential campaign... We got angry OWS'ers.. We got angry right wingers, who are supported by angry cops with pepper spray. And, we got some conventions.
It's going to be a fun summer.

So your brother's bound and gagged
And they've chained him to a chair
Won't you please come to chicago just to sing
In a land that's known as freedom how can such a thing be fair
Won't you please come to chicago for the help that we can bring
We can change the world rearrange the world
It's dying - to get better
Politicians sit yourselves down, there's nothing for you here
Won't you please come to chicago for a ride
Don't ask jack to help you 'cause he'll turn the other ear
Won't you please come to chicago or else join the other side
We can change the world rearrange the world
It's dying - if you believe in justice
Dying - and if you believe in freedom
Dying - let a man live his own life
Dying - rules and regulations, who needs them open up the door
Somehow people must be free I hope the day comes soon
Won't you please come to chicago show your face
From the bottom of the ocean to the mountains of the moon
Won't you please come to chicago no one else can take your place
We can change the world rearrange the world
It's dying - if you believe in justice
Dying - and if you believe in freedom
Dying - let a man live his own life
Dying - rules and regulations, who needs them open up the door

And your point is?
There is a difference between freedom and anarchy, the occupy mob are anarchists and unfortunately anarchy cannot be tolerated in a democracy which is dependent upon good order
