This morning I asked our mayor if I needed a permit to occupy Nakusp. She said there wasn't a place small enough to hold the protest.
Sounds like you could fit an army. But why even ask for a permit? You're Occupy Nakusp! Only law abiding people need permits.
Be interesting to see how you post once more of your 'brothers' start getting purposely hurt.

#OccupyWallStreet - 'The Marines are Coming to PROTECT the Protestors' | in5d Alternative News | in5d.com |
October 1, 2011 - TAMPA, FL - The Occupy Wall Street movement may have just received an unexpected surprise – United States Army and Marine troops are reportedly on their way to various protest locations to support the movement and to protect the protesters. Army serviceman Ward Reilly posted the following on Facebook:
“I'm heading up there tonight in my dress blues. So far, 15 of my fellow marine buddies are meeting me there, also in Uniform.
I want to send the following message to Wall St and Congress:
I didn't fight for Wall St. I fought for America. Now it's Congress' turn.
Better would be if everyone earning more than $75,000 return the extra so it can be distributed to those in the world who are making less. How many in in the 1% do you think are going to agree with that? lol
In the poorer countries $10/day would just about equal what the $75k/yr in America would provide
When a company loses money it's stock should be the ones that get hit, that didn't happen because the market would crash harder than in did in '29. The ones jumping off bridges and high buildings would be the ones we call the 1% those making more than $500k/yr. What's wrong with that 'solution'?

So because they are Marines means I have to agree with them or keep my mouth shut? Screw that. Just because we're Marines doesn't mean we all get along or think the same. Or MUST think the same.
My best friends were/are Marines... and some of the biggest azzholes I ever met were... guess what... Marines! I bet some of the boys in the NYPD are Marines too.
That guy that strolls in here from time to time... Highball... says he was a Marine. Our views are night and day.

The reason I posted these videos is that some on here keep posting "information" that focuses on the assholes, fruit loops and dingle berries that are at these events. It is one sided nonsense.
Also, the last clip makes a lot of sense about first amendment rights being violated. It would be good idea for people who are arm chair quarter backs on here to go down there and mingle, talk to people and find out what their beef is instead of relying on the media, which is owned by the one percent, to feed you such one sided crap. Instead of being confrontational, try to understand their point of view.

Cliffy, I went to the event in Miami (by accident) the so called ding a lings I saw we college age kids having a party. There were a lot of unemployed veterans. What I do know is that troops are coming home to no jobs, not even a hope. These are people with far more technical experience (in the use of high tech equipment) we will need to move forward in the civilian realm. I am all in favor of them doing what ever it takes to get jobs. As for everyone else, they can just take a back seat for the moment.
And that's why many readers were puzzled by the Washington Post's selection of a photo showing an Oakland police officer petting a kitten to illustrate a story on the protests. The photo, shot by the Associated Press' Ben Margot, ran in Wednesday's print edition on page A3 above a story entitled, "Protesters Wearing Out Their Welcome Nationwide." The AP identified the Oakland police member as "Officer Ruten."
"It's amazing that Oakland PD managed to disperse the Occupy Oakland crowd solely by petting kittens," ThinkProgress.com's Matt Yglesias wrote on Twitter.

Oh it gets worse than that. You have low-life scum-bags like David Duke supporting The Flea Party:
Occupy Zionist Wall Street by David Duke - YouTube
Their point of view is skewed and deluded. They have an irrational "oppressor/victim" mentality and delusions of a Jewish controlled world. Plus, they're hashing out no new ideas, just the same old socialism that has been rejected time and time again.
Prove it.
Unions are behind The Flea Party:

In other words. you would rather ingest the media propaganda than go down there and actually find out for yourself.
Now do one where they are pepper-spraying one (with straight water) and see how fast the propaganda changes. They don't bring kittens to these events, With Halloween coming I expect to see many 'kitten costumes, at these events, I also expect to see many shot or arrested for wearing a disguise in public. If they want a real reaction post the faces of the ones who are pepper-spraying and the one who shot the canister and the flash grenade then they can have an accurate feedback rather than what people think about kittens. (which is what they were reacting to rather than a policeman being all warm and cuddly)
What the Police actually bring.
Palestine in Oakland
(in part)
arms firm that claims to "specialize in less lethal technology" and other "crowd management products." Defense Tech sells everything from rubber-coated teargas rounds that bounce in order to maximize gas dispersal to 40 millimeter "direct impact" sponge rounds to "specialty impact" 12 gauge rubber bullets.
So you only protect the 6's of the Marines you like, figures. So did Pat Tillman deserve to be executed by this own 'brothers'?
Did you know the Hell's Angels were also coming to these protests now, most of them are also x-forces and they do watch the backs of all their members, even the ones they don't actually call 'best friends'.
Reports are currently coming out of Occupy Oakland that 80 members of the Hell’s Angels MC have joined the occupation.. more as it becomes available

Be nice if they could do crowd control by finding the Agent Provocateurs that surely must be also attending these events.
Didn't the Israeli Police train Okland PD in 'crowd control'? When Egypt was in the early stages of revolt Israel was promoting the Police to shoot to kill and that is just what Israel did to protesters that were still on the Syrian side of the border. Are those the Jews you are referencing/defending?
Can you show that no Jews belong to the 1% as they are a religious movement and money has nothing to do with being close to their God.
Really, so you've talked to them all, and they're all believer in a Jewish conspiracy?
You're pretty fukin amazing, you are.
Somehow, I believe you get your info from tv.
Portion of the videos are also misleading. The Marines aren't heading down to the Occupy protests to protect the protestors from the police. Perhaps some Marine veterans are. Active duty military are not allowed to participate in anything like this, INCLUDING Tea Party protests. The Marine in his Dress Blues was in need of a haircut so that tells me at one time he was in the Marines but I assure you he's not any longer.
Protesting is one thing, squatting, vandalizing, fighting police is another.
Who said this man was purposely hurt? (other than your innuendo)
I think it's unlikely that a police officer aimed directly at the guys' head. Maybe tone down the hyperbole son and consider it an errant canister until the investigation has concluded. There's more likelihood that amidst the darkness, smoke and chaos, it was an unfortunate ricochet or maybe even a careless buckaroo firing into the dark haze. Either way, to say it was intentional is a reckless big stretch.
Protesters and/or their 'spokemen' say this or that about eggs while the cops do the same insisting rocks and bottles were thrown.
It is tragic he got hurt but thankfully he seems to be doing better today.

Which of the 3 things you list was Scott Olsen guilty of? Being as close as he was I hope you aren't going to claim it was accidental.
Nobody I have read about is claiming active duty Marines are attending, that doesn't mean some active duty ones don't have opinions (that are quite different than yours) about the 'incident'. Every successful revolution by the 'people' has ended up getting Military support, that is where their loyalties are when push comes to shove. The tipping point comes when they refuse to open fire on civilians.
I heard a comment on Global news the other night.
When asked about protestors having to leave a square in time for Rememberence Day, a Vet commented "I don't think the Vets will mind if they are still here. This is what we fought for".
