Great....I can see it now. A bunch of vague demands that simply result in Chimpie swinging the ban stick with no ground gained. Lovely....have fun with that. :ph34r:
 
We're gonna make directions cool at OEMTLife.

I'm not the one arguing about doing away with protests because they cost the police department too much money.

Never argued this, I simply pointed out how the fact that they were costing the police departments money. I'm not stupid, so don't be condescending.


I'm not the one arguing with shutting down environments that create an increased probability of violence.

Never said this either, again just pointed out what was happening and why I believe the police are stepping up responses to these OWS protests.


Running a successful business isn't a right. Furthermore, the government does plenty to interfere with businesses, including regulations that decrease the possibility of violence (e.g. making it illegal to serve alcohol to drunk customers). The difference is that getting a drink or making money isn't a constitutional right. The right to assemble and petition for redress, however, is.

Last time I checked your allowed to own a business in this country, maybe I'm wrong though. You have that right, provided you follow local, state and federal laws governing your business.



Never said that action couldn't be taken. However the police do not have carte blanche to do as they please, especially against people who are not being aggressive, violent, or really even agitated (agitation doesn't warrant increased use of force anyways). Walking down a line of people sitting on the ground and spraying them with pepper spray is, at best, right on the line for what should be considered appropriate force, and most likely what most citizens would be considered excessive. Governments of free people are based on the consent of the people. If the people consider it excess force, than it is excess force.

They are making an example out of these kids. I'm with USAF on this one, put a couple of them 6 feet down and see how that works out but we all know this isn't an option. That video is very short, and edited to cater to the OWS protests, in my opinion. No one knows what was happening prior to what we see on youtube. Someone else pointed out the fact obstructing access to a public building is against the law. Break the law, deal with the consequences.

Is running a successful business simply a right not listed in the constitution? Furthermore, it's much harder to regulate a right than it is to place regulations on business.

Make an example, like Kent State?
 
Leaving OEMTLife to grab my phone charger. Left it in the ambulance. I'll be back OEMTLife! Nobody allowed in my tent!

I weep for my generation. :'(

Oh, and this pretty much sums up OWS, in my opinion:

No not like Kent State, they didn't shoot anyone. If you want to open up that can of worms all the soldier indicted had every criminal charge against them dropped if I'm not mistaken.

Blah...this is ruining this thread for me.

I GOT THANKSGIVING OFF WORK! Yay!

Me too, I'm excited to home and see my family. I got an email from my boss at the ambulance company asking for help filling shifts over Wednesday to Sunday, but I'm not flying across the country for four days and spending one of them at work.

Besides, if I work I won't have time to make this!

Remove the periods.
 
Well once again I spent 40 minutes here instead of writing a paper about popular opinion on Saudi Arabian domestic terrorism.

If I am furthering my delivery of medical care because I am spending time here I am being productive, right?

Someone please say yes. :wacko:
