Man allegedly throws aluminum water bottle at UC Berkeley student’s face

A man allegedly threw an aluminum water bottle at a UC Berkeley student Thursday evening on campus, causing minor injuries to the victim’s face.

At about 5:09 p.m., the female student was approached by a man at “the northeast exterior of the Haas Pavilion,” according to a UCPD crime alert. The man asked the student if she was going to the protest on Sproul Plaza, and when the victim answered “no,” the suspect yelled at her.

“People like you are the reason that California is in debt,” he said, according to the crime alert.

The suspect then threw a full aluminum water bottle at the victim’s face, the crime alert said. The victim then called UCPD and refused medical treatment for the bruise on her cheek. UCPD officers responded to the scene and checked the area, but could not locate the suspect.

The suspect was described as a white or Hispanic male in his early 20s, wearing a brown and green knit cap with earflaps and strings, a black coat and dark pants.

      ***Updated 11/18/2011– Today we hit incident 286
      One of the secret weapons the corrupt mainstream media uses in their never-ending quest to Palace Guard for the left is context. For example, when it came to the Tea Party, the MSM was notorious for amplifying a single incident (that was usually a lie) and using it to attempt to smear and define an entire movement. This is what you do when you want to quickly take out a political enemy.
      The MSM’s contextual game changes, however, when their desire is to strengthen a movement and give it credibility and room to grow. By dutifully reporting individual incidents but not reporting on the growing scope and size of Occupy Wall Street lawlessness, the MSM is willfully covering up the violence, vandalism, and anti-Semitism that truly does define this movement.

By dutifully reporting individual incidents but not reporting on the growing scope and size of Occupy Wall Street lawlessness, the MSM is willfully covering up the violence, vandalism, and anti-Semitism that truly does define this movement.

      Moreover,  by intentionally keeping the pieces of this story scattered, the MSM is allowed to have their cake and eat it too. No one can accuse them of not reporting these incidents, but by choosing not to bring the pieces together, the MSM ensures the least amount of public relations damage is done to the Occupiers.
      What I’ve collected below is far from comprehensive but still shows over 75 incidents of sexual assault, violence, vandalism, anti-Semitism, extortion, perversion, and lawlessness.
      The MSM could easily tell the story of how this violence-prone movement is becoming an increasing threat to our society. After all, my research below is the result of nothing more than Twitter and Google. Among others, The New York Times, Washington Post, Politico, and the LA Times have willfully chosen not to use the resources at their disposal to give the public an honest look at this growing menace. In their partisan minds, truth doesn’t trump agenda.

      What is true is that on October 18, pollster Doug Schoen (a Democrat!) discovered that a full 31% of Occupiers were willing to commit violence in pursuit of their agenda, whatever that is. From biggovernment.com

          Nationwide there have been hundreds of assaults, sexual assaults, rapes, public defecation and urination, threats of violence, assaults on police officers, destruction of private property, defacing of private and public property, riots and at least one murder at “Occupy” rallies.  

          Explain how linking a political movement to hundreds of crimes committed by hundreds of members of that movement equals believing that “one person can stand for and represent an entire group”.

      I saw a UCPD officer drive up (~5:15), park his car, and run across the front of the plaza. Maybe she made the story up, but then it would be a false report and she is a student so I don’t know what this has to do with what people “are fighting against.” 

      It’s not a particularly crowded spot on campus at that time of day, it’s fairly dark, and there are plenty of places to hide, so maybe it happened. If any proof comes forward, of course, you’ll then say that this person wasn’t a real occupy person, this doesn’t characterize the movement, etc….

      You not believing it is a testament to the amount of privilege you’ve had in your life. Shit like this happens all the time, especially to women. Here’s what a lack of such privilege will get you:

      I actually know what this is like. I was assaulted when I was 18 because I wouldn’t “cooperate” with a dude trying to hit on me. I was hit in the back of the head with a full beer can on a major thorough-fair filled with people. The perps circled the block to come back and hit me in my face. I lost teeth. My only consolation was that I put out my cigarette on his bare chest, because the police did fuck all to charge the man, even though I got his licence plate #. Violence against women is so acceptable in our culture. It’s the number 1 way we keep women pliant and under the thumbs of stupid men like the one in your article.We need more women with guns, period. That would stop a lot of the violence, if a few dickwads were taken out in the process of their violent acts.

          I am a supporter of the second amendment, but threatening use of firearms is rarely a good idea.  Being able to defend one-self should the need arise (with whatever is needed) is a good idea.  And that defense may be against a tyrannical gov’t as desired by the Occupiers (they just want tyrants who want to steal from others and give to them).  So having some firearms and the ability to use them well is a good thing … talking about it openly ahead of its actual need can make you look a bit too much like a dangerous yee-ha than a person intent on legally defending what they’ve worked for.

        The end justifies the means. A little mistaken violence in the name of a greater good is perfectly fine.  They are the typical fans of despots and fascism.

        3. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause – The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial , ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc.

        In identifying “goodness” and “superiority” with “us,” there was a tendency to identify “evil” with “them.” This process involves scapegoating and dehumanization. It was then an easy step to blame all societal problems on “them,” and presuppose a conspiracy of these evildoers which had emasculated and humiliated the idealized core group of the nation. To solve society’s problems one need only unmask the conspirators and eliminate them.

        In Europe, Jews were the handy group to scapegoat as “them.

          Johnnie, quite the opposite, in both instances those who committed acts of violence are wrong. Let me tell you the difference. The officer at Davis is going to lose his job, and he should. This girl, who also, didn’t do anything wrong, will never have justice. The coward ran off to be free to assault someone else soon no doubt. There are plenty of jobs. You just think you are too good for them. When I was in college, I cleaned toilets at one job and was the airline complaint line for my other job. I managed to get my engineering degree in 6 years and am doing well. I earn every penny and don’t feel bad because people who didn’t work as hard as me, have less.

        You’re full of it. I guess those UC Davis students were being very “aggressive” in their act of sitting on the ground with their legs crossed when that cop sprayed them then, huh? BS. Police have been using pepper spray against nonviolent protestors as long as they’ve had it. There’s a video of Humbolt County Sheriffs swabbing liquid pepper spray directly onto the eyeballs of 4 women who were staging a sit-in at a Congressperson’s office in the 90s.

          To discuss the fact when you are ordered to disperse or follow directions by authorities you are expected to comply does not make any sense to liberals. Most protesters are misguided with no actual understanding of what they actually want. Protesters generally are trying to express their discontent with a matter but offer no solutions or alternatives. Please try and explain what the expected end result of the “Occupy” movement is? If you can it is just conjecture because these people themselves don’t even know. 

          For you to go back to the phrase “hippies” indicates you are either a dope smoker from the sixties who has not advanced with the times or society as a whole or you are much younger than myself and have no first hand knowledge of what a hippie actually is… hippies we nothing more than “Occupiers” of the 60′s. Generally hippies had no reason for doing anything on their own, they only acted on what they were taught by Morons. Please name for me anything HIPPIES accomplished which benefited this nation and made it stronger and better for its citizens. 

          Since the 60′s American people have been educated to believe the government can do everything for them and make life easier and better. Why are they not taught WE THE PEOPLE are “The Government” and without the hard work of WE THE PEOPLE there is no money to make life easier. In all countries which the “Government” runs everything there are only two classes of people, the have’s and the have not’s. Living in other parts of the world I can assure the have not’s in those countries would give their first born to live in the worst ghetto in this country…

      This article isn’t even about the Occupy movement and it doesn’t sound like it was a liberal thing considering he said “People like you are the reason that California is in debt”.  Sounds more like a protest regarding some kind of overspending so it’s surprising to me to see people in the Tea Party movement talking trash on these protestors.  Do any of you even read these articles or do you just see the headlines and instantly graffiti the comments section?

         Wow, you’re dumb. Did you stop to think that maybe he said “People like you are the reason that California is in debt” because he meant that if she didn’t go to the protest then she supports not taxing “the rich” and doesn’t support his misguided and stupid belief that we should tax, tax, tax and spend, spend, spend to save the economy?

        “protest on Sproul Plaza” … really? it doesn’t sound like a liberal thing? the OWS movement is blaming the looming debt on the 1%ers for not paying more. The debt exists because the gov’t is spending over $1T more annually … its not because the 1%ers are paying $1T less annually. Do you read the articles but not follow the content?

        • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1384363152 Scott Keller

          Actually, the debt is because of neither of the above.  The debt is because the politicians have no clue about what sovereign money is and not a single one of them demonstrates the ability to bring forth an innovative thought.  Income taxes should go away for all “classes”, not be increased.  The debt could be eliminated in 6 months to a year with just a small amount of innovation and a paradigm shift.  Neither Tea Partiers nor OWS protesters seem to have gotten far enough through the manipulative fog to recognize the unlimited options that exist.

            It would be more like a year, but the FairTax would solve the budget deficit problem in about a 12 months.  Ending the National Debt would take till 2020 or so, but would be done without an increase in taxes or drastic reduction in spending.  

            If folks were willing to reduce spending to 2008 levels, it would take a couple years less.  Once you understand the FairTax, you’ll demand it.

            Eliminating the debt by 2020 would require an extra $3 trillion in revenue.  Even more absurd.

            This is true, The Federal Goverenment is spending 40% more than it takes in (1.5 out of 4 trillion), To pay the debt down in eight years is another 2 trillion a year. Taxes must be raised by 3.5 trillion dolars or over 100%. No Flat tax less than 30% or vat of the same magnitude will solve the problem.

            Wrong and wrong!!  Increasing taxes has never solved this type of problem.  Look at all of Europe.  Because of the high taxes, they have had to go totally socialist.  That includes Germany with which I am very familiar.  Increase taxes and our government will just waste more money on useless projects.
            Take a look at California, with it’s high tax rate, and it is broke.  More taxes, more wasted.  Learn to use only what you have like we have to do in our home.

            Obviously that is absurd.  No where in my post did I mention increasing taxes.  I said revenue.
             
            I also prefer spending cuts to invigorate the economy.  I also support replacing the income tax on people under $80k with tarrifs on foreign goods made in countries with no environmental protections.

            In the 80′s tax rates were very high, which isn’t as true now (ever heard of the laffer curve?).  Obviously revenues will increase the US came out of the 1970′s stagflation crisis right about then.  Furthermore, inflation, population growth and increased productivity are also partly to blame for increasing revenue.

            I am more interested in revenue as a percent of GDP as calculated in 1980.  Saying revenue went up is meaningless outside of that frame of reference.

            Correct, he also seems to forget that Republicans had control starting in ’94 and balanced the budget, Reagan had a Democrat controlled congress unwilling to stop spending.  The fact of the matter is that revenues DID rise with the Reagan tax
            cuts just as they did under Clinton AFTER the Cap Gains cut.  If higher tax rates meant more revenue, then the Goverment would have
            been swimming in cash during the Johnson/Nixon/Ford/Carter years.

            I agree 100%.

            Simple, you grow the economy.  The FairTax is based on GDP.  With a GDP right now of about $15 trillion, the FairTax would raise about $3.4 trillion.  Studies have shown that the FairTax, has it been passed on 2010, would have raised more money than the income tax.  So, the FairTax at $3.4 trillion, or the income tax at $2.2 trillion

            And since the FairTax would grow the economy much faster than the income tax, studies show, it would continue to raise substantially more each year.  And the excess could be used to pay down the National Debt.  All, and it is a big all, we have to do is get Congress to control spending at current levels or below.  Otherwise, they can obviously spend faster than we can produce it, and no tax system at all can work.  

          • Wyrdless

            I checked out the website.  Very Interesting.  I have some questions:

            1> How will the tax be applied in states like New Hampshire where they don’t have a state sales tax?

            2> Will the tax be applied to the purchase of financial goods like stocks and options contracts?  What about annuities and insurance?

            3> How are the prebates handled?  Do they send an identical check to every man woman and baby who registers?  What stops people from not working and just collecting the check?

            4> How would eBay, Craigslist, and garage sales be handled?  Is a distinction made between new and used goods?

            Looking forward to your response.

            You are asking several good questions, and I might point you to our website, http://www.ohfairtax.org.  I have several columns I’ve written that address some of your issues.  

            Quickly though, every legal citizen can register for the prebate and get it.  Whether they work or not.  The FairTax does not believe you should pay taxes just to live, so all purchases up to the poverty level are “untaxed” via the prebate.

            States like NH could either set up their own agency, or have their state taxes collected via the small part of the IRS that would remain.  It will be up to the states, but I suspect most will have the monies flow through them.

            The FairTax will apply to financial services, so that portion of the stock/bond/annuity/insurance purchases associated with the service will be taxed.  On a 5% loan, for instance, it would increase the loan rate to 5.04%.  (Don’t hold be too tight on that since it depends on a several factors. )

            Insurance, the service portion, is subject to tax, but the benefits are untaxed by including a payment for all taxes to be paid.  

            If you’d like more info, please feel free to  contact me through the website.  I’m running out of space here.

            It doesn’t need to raise “an extra $1.3 trillion” in taxes. It needs to eliminate the extra $1.5 trillion in expenditures. Discriminate between earned (SS, medicare, pensions, etc.) and unearned (Medicaid, food stamps, etc.) entitlements and curtail or eliminate the latter along with both DoEs, DoC, DOL, HUD and funding for Iraq and Afghanistan and you’re there.

            Do you know the difference between taxes and revenue?

            Second, we were talking about the fair tax and the other guy said it would raise revenue by growing the economy

            Although it seems like a good system I don’t think the fair tax system can increase revenue by 3 trillion a year.  Seems a bit of a stretch

            The Balanced Budget Amendment that was voted on did  not have spending caps, or spending cuts. In effect this means that the only way to balance budget is to increase taxes. Congress will not cut spending we’ve seen that.  So all this does is force future Republicans to vote for more taxes because now they are forced to by the Constitution.  I applaud that  Ryan did not vote for the bill. 

          • Grover

            If Congress was required to Tax as much as they wanted to spend, there would be a natural limit on the size of the federal government. The Pain of a tax increase would effect the tax payers at the same time as the Pleasure of a spending increase. There would (should) be a balance. Currently spending does not need to be supported by taxes, only debt. And the Pain of the Debt is incurred by future taxpayers, who do not vote in current elections.

            The Cap on spending in only wanted  as a scapegoat so the BBA can fail.

            So Ryan, by not putting a limit on congress, is voting for the current model of unlimited congression spending power, unfettered by the need to pay back the debt.

            The “secret” to eliminating the National Debt is to increase the economy substantially.  The only proposal out there that will do that is the FairTax.  

            Under the FairTax, the economy would see a 10% increase the first year, and average 5% to 7% for the following decade.  If spending is held constant (a big IF I admit), the budget surpluses generated by the FairTax could pay down the National Debt by 2020.    If we could get Congress to return to 2008 levels, the ND would be paid off a couple of years earlier.All without raising tax rates!!Once you understand the FairTax, you’ll demand it.

            The overspending stops with a balanced buget amendment. It would force spending & revenue to be (nearly) equal.

        Tomx7 is further evenindence of the liberal lefty lemming mind. An “Occupy” protester demonstarates their inherent thuggishness when a girl won’t join their protest, and then this nitwit tries to twist that into a Tea Party issue. 

        When Occupy “goals” are filled with Marxist theft for unattainable economic drivel, the Occupy deserve all the derision they get. They’re a bunch of losers who only base what they “want” based on what other people “have.”

        Occupiers aren’t calling for less gov’t spending when they want a guaranteed wage, wheteher they work or not! With unlimited, unearned spending like that, occupiers and the Tea Party have nothing in common.

          The OWS movement doesn’t want to reduce government, or stop the government payouts; they just want the payouts shifted from the bankers and Wall Street to them.

        Tomx7, you’re the one who doesn’t read the articles.  Don’t you even know the premise of the Occupy movement? The assailant said “People like you are the reason that California is in debt”, because he believes the one percent of the income earners aren’t taxed enough and if they were taxed more, it would relieve the debt.

        • Dbubba

          If you really want to relieve the debt, abolish the Federal Reserve and pay them back in monopoly money, the same thing they lend to us in trade for REAL property.  Put the politicians who back the reserve in prison, and start issuing new greenbacks.  You don’t need gold or silver to back fiat money.  THAT is what causes inflation and deflation… tying the amount printed to a FINITE resource.  Each dollar issued (no matter how many) would be equivalent to the same amount… a dollar is a dollar is a dollar.  There is no reason for inflation and deflation EXCEPT for the feds to CONTROL us.  Stop blaming HONEST rich people for being rich.  I will whole heartedly agree to imprison DISHONEST rich people who obtained their riches through deceit and dishonesty.  The only difference between a petty thief and a rich one is that one thinks BIGGER than the other.  Either one would sell you down the river for profit.

        Can’t speak for anyone else. I just hate the “Occupy movement.” It stands for everything I loathe ideologically. You can call me a Tea Partier if that makes you feel better because then you don’t have to think or deal with the truth about it. I’ve been to a tea party rally. It was very civilized. But that’s the extent of my involvement in the Tea Party.  Personally I like to think of myself as American and I’d bet the same is true of most of the people here.

      • Jekyl

        How you blithely equate a comment about debt to , “It must be a Tea Partier,” is nothing short of a per fect example of Leftist non-thinking blamers.  First you blamed the Vast White Wing Conspiracy, ala Hillary, then it was blame Bush for everything, and now the Tea Party. 

        What colorless thinking.

      • King Ghidora

        Wow you sound like one of the wackies!  Unlike you we know what the 99% crud types think caused the deficit.  And it is not too much liberalism.  It’s too much corporate welfare and too few corporate taxes and taxes on the super rich (any family making more than $125,000 a year).  It’s those who won’t give more money to the education establishment even though that only results in tuition increases (hey they can afford it now ’cause the gubmit is payin’).  They aren’t even poor people.  They’re the children of the rich they despise.  This is just like the 60′s where the wonderful upper class (they’re thinking, not mine) swoops down and saves us all from the evils of capitalism and the war machine it produced.  Not many poor people got to go to Berkley.  Not many poor people get to camp out for 2 months in a park either.  And only the parent haters and parent shockers could live like such cruds that they allow disease, drug overdoses, rapes, assaults, thefts, and all sorts of illegal activity and demand that no one tell the police.  After all anarchy is always best with communism a close second.  They don’t want more money really.  They want to tick off mom and dad and that’s hard considering their parents were worse than they are.

        • Captaincorrect

           let me educate you.  COrporate taxes are passed on to consumers.  We have the second highest corporate tax rates in the Western World.   The “super rich” make $125K per year?  You can’t live in NYC genius on $125K per year.

          Also genius do you understand the difference between “wealth” and “income”? I don’t think you do.  In  fact I know you don’t.  Most of the “rich” are elderly or didn’t you know that either?

          Most rich people make a lot more money from investments then from in…Let me guess we need to raise more taxes on their investments so they make fewer investments nd then we will all be happy….What a moron.

      • Captaincorrect

        so the law abiding tea party should applaud the felonious assault of an innocent woman by a man because the guy was talking about California’s debt?  Let me help you jerkoff-whether people agree or disagree with a point-law abiding citizens (meaning not liberals) do not say, “oh, yea, I know he just assaulted someone but what he said I agree with”..

    She should thank her lucky stars that all it was was a water bottle. The fact is that this “99% moron” crew isn’t fit to work in a car wash. You can bet that as an employer, if I have an applicant, I will outsource to see whether I can find that person in a video as a member of the OWS. If so, I will not hire said “person.” You say you have a 1st Am right to occupy? I say I have a 1st Am right to associate with whom I want, and so far, OWS is not a protected class. Thus, if I were you, I’d make sure I was wearing  mask so you could disavow being associated with OWS when you come asking for a job – if I’m hiring. To make this clear, pair up people who are black, Irish, Jewish, white, asian, muslim, etc. etc. One of the pair is a Tea Party member; the other is a member of the OWS. The Tea Party member gets the job – every time.

        I agree that this works to some extent; but there are young people out there who are, perhaps, diamonds in the rough, and who don’t yet understand the power of social media to both enhance and ruin your life. Before the internet, college students could do all kinds of crazy stuff and their employers would never know about it. Now – if you’re not careful, such knowledge is a click away. Additionally, the fact is that knowing this people are often savvy enough to know the game and to play it better by creating personas or by making sure that their public face in social media is “employment friendly.” But a video, showing the faces of the urchins who Occupy – that would be very helpful to me as a potential employer. Again – Occupy is not a protected class. And if I see you in an Occupy video, you can bet your last welfare or begged-for dollar that I won’t be employing you.

    Typical leftist dirtbag.   I nearly got killed twenty years ago for the high crime of walking by “People’s” Park while dressed in professional clothes on my way to an appointment.   A ten lbs. chunk of concrete with rebar flew inches past my head.  If it had hit me, I could’ve been killed or permanently disabled.    I turned around and a crowd of dirtbags was just milling about as if nothing happened.   I don’t care for the World the left wants to make for all of us, because I’ve dealt with far too many of the leftists who want to force that reality on everybody else.  They are totalitarian thugs bent on building a hell on Earth.   They cover up their goals with a load of happy egalitarian BS, but what is so egalitarian about assaulting people who don’t do as you command?

            You need to face reality.  Communists are very real people. The beloved van Jones is a self declared communist.  Today in Red China aka Mainland China is home to more communists than there were during Stalin’s purges in the 1930s.

            And you need to live in the present. Never heard of Van Jones. China has wholeheartedly embraced capitalism. Go there: McDonalds, KFC and Walmart stores are everywhere.  If you truly have a beef with China, take it up with the free trading politicians and American corporations. They’re the ones propping up the economy and the political system there.

            Yes, because it is the truth. More than 45% of Tea Party adherents don’t work, and many of those are on various forms of government assistance. You may not want it to be true, but it is. Name calling can’t change the facts.

            I don’t necessarily begrudge them their benefits, it’s the hypocrisy from them and from people like yourself that is annoying.

            Not clear on your points Podognrey.  The Communists are real (correct, not in China) and they are backing Occupy.  This is a known fact.  The Unions and the Nazis are also proudly marching with Occupiers and Occupiers have said nothing negative about it (seems like there is redundancy when you say Occupier, Communist, Nazi, and Union … but that is another story).  Occupiers are chanting Communist and Fascist songs by the hundreds (in a speaker says it and crowd echoes it style).  Communism is alive, as is Nazi-ism, and Unionism.  All overlap greatly, but they are all alive and they are all behind Occupy.  What I don’t get is why the Occupiers are going into churches that suppor them AND let them use their facilities, and they still defacate all over the inside of the church.  Forgetting for a moment that most of them hate Christianity … it’s still wrong to do that to any organization that is helping you and letting you use their services freely.

People such as Steve Jobs are the solution, not the problem. Capitalists create millions of jobs, affordable products, art, and convenience for everyone. If the protestors really wanted to improve the world, they would learn to shop responsibly, researching the companies/countries they wish to boycott, and then work at improving themselves.

    Some student simply minding her own business – I thought “choice”, tolerance and all that was a big thing among these types – gets a bottle to the face from some hopped-up neo-hippie who, most likely, doesn’t know the first thing about anything he hasn’t heard/learned in a classroom (at Berkeley, no less…I’m sure he’s not getting a warped, tilted view of “how the world works” there).

      The reason that CA, like many other states, is in debt,  is because of the union (organized crime) contracts they signed that requires them to pay for health care and big pensions to union (organized crime) workers for doing little work.  The states can’t afford it and are going broke because of it.

    So…. let me see if I’ve got this straight.

    “A man threw an aluminum water bottle at a UC Berkeley student…..”

    A)  No notice of whether or not the ‘man’ was also a student; although the chances are doubtful at best.

    B). No mention of whether he was leveled with an assault charge. 

    C). Author mentions that he container is made of aluminum and that the vessel was intended for water.

    D).  Assaulted student declines medical attention–no states evidence for a civil suit?

    E).  Female student at Berkley refuses to attend a protest, who also declines free medical coverage which turns state’s evidence that would provider he a full ride for the rest of her time in college……?

    THIS IS A COPY OF A FLYER DROPPED FROM THE ROOF OF THE CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE BUILDING
    We are Wall Street. It’s our job to make money. Whether it’s a commodity, stock, bond, or some hypothetical piece of fake paper, it doesn’t matter. We would trade baseball cards if it were profitable.
    I didn’t hear America complaining when the market was roaring to 14,000 and everyone’s 401k doubled every 3 years. Just like gambling, it’s (sic) not a problem until you lose. I’ve never heard of anyone going to Gamblers Anonymous because they won too much in Vegas.
    Well, now the market crapped out, & even though it has come back somewhat, the government and the average Joes are still looking for a scapegoat. God knows there has to be one for everything. Well, here we are.
    Go ahead and continue to take us down, but you’re only going to hurt yourselves. What’s going to happen when we can’t find jobs on the Street anymore? Guess what: We’re going to take yours.
    We get up at 5am & work till 10pm or later. We’re used to not getting up to pee when we have a position. We don’t take an hour or more for a lunch break. We don’t demand a union. We don’t retire at 50 with a pension. We eat what we kill, and when the only thing left to eat is on your dinner plates, we’ll eat that.
    For years teachers and other unionized labor have had us fooled. We were too busy working to notice. Do you really think that we are incapable of teaching 3rd graders and doing landscaping? We’re going to take your cushy jobs with tenure and 4 months off a year and whine just like you that we are so-o-o-o underpaid for building the youth of America. Say goodbye to your overtime and double time and a half. I’ll be hitting grounders to the high school baseball team for $5k extra a summer, thank you very much.
    So now that we’re going to be making $85k a year without upside, Joe Mainstreet is going to have his revenge, right? Wrong! Guess what: we’re going to stop buying the new 80k car, we aren’t going to leave the 35 percent tip at our business dinners anymore. No more free rides on our backs. We’re going to landscape our own back yards, wash our cars with a garden hose in our driveways. Our money was your money. You spent it. When our money dries up, so does yours.
    The difference is, you lived off of it, we rejoiced in it. The Obama administration and the Democratic National Committee might get their way and knock us off the top of the pyramid, but it’s really going to hurt like hell for them when our fat a**es land directly on the middle class of America and knock them to the bottom.
    We aren’t dinosaurs. We are smarter and more vicious than that, and we are going to survive. The question is, now that Obama & his administration are making Joe Mainstreet our food supply…will he? And will they?

    This reminds me of the ChiComm Cultural Revolution, where the Marxists would go into a University and duck-walk the professors out into a mob then stand them up for public Denunciations waving their little red books around like Bibles.
     
    As POTUS says, “If you’re not with us, you’re against us”, and…  “We’ll reward our friends, and punish our enemies”….
     
    Essentially, the same mindset except THIS TIME…  it’s the Leftist who own the University and their minions are now animated into throwing out anyone that disagrees with them an training for further public “service”, ONLY THOSE THAT AGREE…

    The diseased OWS camp was right down the street from me. Scum of the earth! In a way I’m sorry NYPD got rid of it, it was degenerating quickly. A kind of Manson Family scenario was brewing under those tarps, a truly delightful mix of stupid white hippies, homeless, mentally ill, drug addicted and petty criminals were about 10 days away from hacking each other to death. That’s probably why OWS organizer Brad Spitzer was staying the W Hotel downtown for $700/night — did you read that? 100% true story! And so typical. But who can blame for not wanting to get near this degenerate communist rabble?

        So, NewMann, now we judge what is right by comparing it to the actions of others in unrelated events and circumstances?

        So if a cop does something bad to me in Atlanta, that makes it right to go to Minneapolis and hit a random girl in the face? 

        What is that, a moral sliding scale?

        That is the mentality of a thug, who excuses a random beating he gives someone in a subway because “he was going through some tough problems”.

          What a stupid post.

          I point out that being hosed down with military grade pepper spray, where the directions say not to use at distances closer than 12 feet is worse than having some frustrated kid throw a water bottle at a woman and not injure her, and then according to you, that makes me a thug.

          You have no brains at all.  The thugs in the OWS movement have been the cops who have been brutalizing the protesters from the beginning.

          Most of the violent acts attributed to the OWS movement have either never been confirmed, or have occurred outside the OWS camps.  

          I do not think we should excuse any assault, but in my mind we need to be addressing the violent ones that are landing people in the hospital first and the ones that cause a little discomfort last.

          All the people who were pepper sprayed at UC Davis are in the hospital now, many of them suffering serious burns.

      • Anonymous

        How would you prevent bad people from showing up in a crowd? I’m not excusing, just observing the obvious. 

        • Hammer

          StevelImages, your answer implies that crowds are totally random and their actions are not related to the purpose that brought them together. But the movement and the people it gathers are completely related.

          A crowd has a personality and character just as individuals, cities, cultures, and organizations do. They are different from one another according to who they are, what they believe, and what they value. In the same way, the OWS movement and ideology attracts a certain type of people that are now becoming known by what they say and do.

          The odious actions of those in the OWS movement are continually added to daily, in spades, all across the nation. This reveals the character of those who are attracted to this ideology.

          On the other hand (since the Tea Party has been brought up so often in these threads, although I do not belong to their group) what do you see coming from the news reports from the Tea Party crowds? Perhaps a few altercations at most. But you also see order, respect for property, respect for the safety of others,  and respect for our nation, our police, our culture, and our Constitution. That speaks of character, since they too cannot regulate who joins their “crowds”.

          • Anonymous

            I’m not one who puts the Tea party in opposition to OWS. I see them as the two extreme wings of a broad-based American disgust and opposition to the corrupt oligarchy running our country. But since you ask: First, I haven’t heard ANYTHING from the Tea party since they let themselves get co-opted by the GOP. Secondly, you will remember that the worst of the Tea partiers are outright racists. There were many news reports of such incidents. Racism “comes with the territory” in any movement of extreme conservatives.

            I’ve closely followed OccupyOakland. I was sometimes hassled in their camp simply for taking photos. There were news stories of much worse incidents. But thugginess comes with the territory in Oakland.

            If you read the news reports of Occupy with any sense of objectivity, you have to conclude that the most violent elements involved are the cops. This has certainly been the case at UC Berkeley and UC Davis, both of which exhibited shocking incidents of police overreaction and violence. Would you tar all law enforcement with that broad brush? Some do. Not me. Overreaction and gratuitous violence come with the territory of law enforcement. You punish the individual violators, not the entire organization.

            If you label an entire movement by its worst elements, you can sell newspapers that way, so that’s what the media outlets do. But if you seek understanding, you have to try to put extremist behavior in perspective. Not to condone it; but simply to avoid the logical fallacy of judging the whole by the worst of its parts.

          • Roger Wedel

            StevelImages,your response is a wonderful example of the art of legerdemain, where you give the illusion of having responded to an argument by creating a substitute issue, then stating an assumption as fact that contradicts the premise of your opponents argument without addressing it, then supporting your assumption by introducing an element non-germain to the logical model of the argument.

            In other words, bait and switch, then misdirection, then apples-to-oranges. And you did it quite smoothly; I commend you for your prestidigious acumen, it was breathtaking.

            WHEN the Tea-Party was in the news is irrelevant; they and the OWS group are within the same administration, same economic downturn, and same election cycle.

            Nothing in my response had anything to do with YOU comparing the two groups.

            The point of the exercise was to do a comparative analysis of two groups with similar structural elements against the same criterion. The police force is not a similar group to either OWS or Tea-Party. However, it can be used as an additional factor to measure the two groups against, since the police were present at the demonstrations and meetings of both groups being discussed.

            Your OPINION of racist or fringe factors of either groups are premature and without support, since no comparative data was cited in your response.

            The comparative results are determined by viewing the actions of the two crowds against the same criterion: personal property; law enforcement; rule of law; respect of the safety of others, orderliness, public behavior, cleanliness, speech, etc.

            The OWS news reports of rape, violence, racist remarks, multiple arrests, clashes with police en masse, violent infighting, public masturbation and defication, destruction of property, drug abuse, prostitution, public obstruction, sexual exposure to minors, ad nauseum, reveals the character and value system of that group. And the sheer number of not only news reports, but singular occurances of the afformentioned behavior, belies the number of those within this movement capable and culpable of these acts. We are not describing a fringe. We are describing the lawless heart of the movement.

            Most of these behaviors never occured at all within the Tea-Party movement, and when they did, they were very isolated cases that were reported multiple times by the various news media.

            By the way, in answer to your posture that there is a large element of racism in the Tea-Party; it is established fact that the Tea-Party is primarily middle class. I have travelled the world, have been exposed to many cultures and people groups, and from my own knowledge and experience can say unequivocally that the American middle class (in fact, America as a nation) are the most tolerant, non-racist people in the world. If you disagree with that, you don’t get out much.

          • Anonymous

            When bad things happen at the Tea party events, they’re isolated incidents. When they happen at Occupy, they represent the group. You expect me to respond to that? Your list of “horrors” at the Occupy events sound like the FOX News talking points. Clashes with police? Yes, after the police attacked. Good grief. 

            Re your last paragraph: The Tea party are mostly middle class and the middle class are mostly non-racist, hence there was no racism at Tea party events. You just failed logic. 

          • Hammer

            “Isolated” means “occurances few in number”. ”Representative”  means “occurances many in number”. Think about it. That is the purpose of comparitive analysis. It’s what VARIABLES are for; to benchmark behavior. Try to keep up, Stevel. 

             Also, when the news accounts describe those ATTENDING a Tea Party rally being physically attacked by those demonstrating AGAINST the Tea Party, and the victim is a BLACK MAN, it tends to take the wind out of your argument’s sails.

    • Hammer

    Now what are the odds Gloria Allred would take this case and sue Obama, Pelosi, SEIU, AFL/CIO, Michael Moore to name but a few, for inciting this assault? Was it not Obama that said “If they bring a knife to the fight, We bring a gun.”? Was it not Obama that said, “…I want you to argue with them and get in their face.” Was it not Obama that said to Latinos, “…we’re gonna punish our enemies…’? Was it not union boss Hoffa that said, “TAKE THE SONS OF B–CHES OUT!” when referring to people who don’t support them? The assailant said people like her caused the debt, i.e. The Rich – Did Michael Moore not call for violent uprising against the Rich? Everyone I mentioned above has put their support behind these protesters publicly. I say any lawyer worth their salt could make a case for this….Remember we are the country that successfully sued McDonalds for not having a warning label about hot coffee being, well…..Hot.

    When I look at the Occupy Wall Street folks, many look like the same dead beats that signed those liar loans and then said they were suckered into signing a promise to pay when they never had the intent to pay.  The other folks look like union employees claiming they are the 99% when, really, they are as greedy as those corporate mongers; they hide behind a union to extract excessive wages for their low value labor.  For those public union employees, you guys served yourself before you served the public who hired you.   The government breast is dry so try suckling elsewhere.

    And aren’t all glad that Pelosi is happy that these spontaneous protests just arouse and are demonstrating, and Obozo likes them, and they aren’t quite so spontaneous if sources citing the Tides Foundation, George Soros, SEIU and others are assisting them.

    And aren’t we really glad that they are so like the Tea Party.  

    But it is really strange that while the Tea Party was called racists and terrorists because of allegations that couldn’t be proven, the record of the these pond scum is filled with racist comments, and violence.

    Strange how the “lame stream” media also can’t make out the difference between the two.  But then that is what expected by a media that is no longer a watch dog, but a lap dog, actively promoting the agenda of Obozo and his thugs

    In my opinion, this incident makes William A. Brandt, Jr. (not Berkeley’s VP and CCO, the other one that’s the IGS National Advisory Council’s Development Committee Chair) and Patrice Bugelas-Brandt very happy.  In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if the Brandts donate an additional $50,000 a year for the next five years, earmarking much of the money to help students in conducting research on American politics.  Hence, more grants will be available to defray research or living expenses for “Occupiers.”

    been allowed to stay up past their bedtime by pathetically weak,

     The real reason they don’t want to abandon Afghanistan is, because of the Exxon Mobile’s pipeline pumping oil from Afghanistan. George Bush Jr. brags he went to Iraq for the oil, to show off to his affluent friends. So instead of half the national deficit, we have it double, they want to build permanent bases in Iraq and Afghanistan, so big oil, and the Republican’s can get rich. So why do they want to make Afghanistan a permanent duty station so they can protect the interest’s of big oil and the pipeline, before they started drilling and pumping oil out of Afghanistan, the country was considered the largest untapped oil resource in the world. They don’t talk much about the pipeline now because the Billionaire’s and corporations have silence everyone. I don’t vote and support neither party, nor will I be a registered voter, ever, because I never register to vote. George Bush Jr and the Republican party wanted to control the oil infrastructure of Iraq, and Afghanistan to enrich themselves, Billions traded for the corporations, while America accumulated Trillions in national debt, not such a good trade off, but it was for 1% of the population. The people of Afghanistan live simple lives as farmers and ranchers, living off of mountain goats, and sheep’s, and simple crops, too stupid to realize what they have an abundant source of natural resources that they do not benefit from, while Hamid Karzai hordes over 100 Billion in secret accounts for himself. The people of Afghanistan use horses and donkeys, and pick up trucks, as their main weapons, while military contractor’s keep building new weapon system’s for themselves and get richer, America goes down hill in debt. China owns 11% of the national debt, and Japan owns 10% and they are over 200% over GDP in national debt. So who owns most of the national debt Private Security Firms profiting off the national debt of the U.S.  They want to go to war with Iran that will cost the U.S. 90 Billion a year, instead of executing precision strikes.  Like Iraq, they always have known, since they have too much oil, no economic sanction will work, and only by declaring a full scale war can they actually bring about change.The real reason they don’t want to abandon Afghanistan is, because of the Exxon Mobile’s pipeline pumping oil from Afghanistan.

    This is just one incident, this is going to continue to happen until someone gets killed, and then the whole country is going to explode.

    We don’t need this kind of social unrest, we have way too many clueless people in this country that want something for nothing. They have no idea on what it means to work for what you get in life.

    Just what happened to working for a living, yes there are fewer jobs as of right now, but they need to get off their butts, and get a job, no matter how long it takes to find one.

    They would all be better off looking for a job instead of protesting and crying about how unfair life is. Life was not meant to be easy, it’s hard and you have to be willing to be a participating member of society.

    I think we are all getting a little tired of their crying, and them doing nothing for themselves to enhance their lot in life.

    The tea party seemed to be an extension of protestant Calvinism directed at government fiscal policies. The OWS crowds seem to shaping up to be a a tool (macro) for the administration. I dislike the term useful idiots. The power of propaganda in the digital age cannot be underestimated. The powers of persuasion exerted by President Obama are his best asset. Most of it is great salesmanship. The nebulous angsts expressed by OWS does correlate with remarks by the President in the political blame game. The anti social and some of the criminal behavior remind me of what incitement can cause. The shooting of Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords was the result of incitement received and processed by an unstable mind. The lack of any cohesive resolution by the OWS movement tells me that the hardcore OWS is incited and motivated. Without a clear rational (fairness?) , the only consensus is to attack any person or idea that is on the blame list. This is a dangerous game the politicians are playing. Motivation, propaganda, incitement can lead a peoples to the moon, or into a darkness reminiscent of Europe in the mid twentieth century.

     That “will work for food” is a gimick.  Several studies have been done where people stopped by and offered food for work.  The number who actually will work for food ranges from 0% in some studies to as high as 5% in other studies, but the bottom line is, most will NOT work for food, but look to pull your heart-strings with that statement.

    I have an idea I saw at a comment at Big Government site by Breitbart. 

    “Protest
    and Riot or blackmail cities into paying you to not protest and riot”  -
    this is a real instruction for what I thought was impossible.  A
    Conservative anti-Obama app and game on facebook called City
    Federation.  

    I’m sure the left will be upset in a big way about
    this.  They said it is in Beta but there now and anything that upsets
    communists and liberals is something that I will tell everyone about. 
    Especially a few friends that play that Cityville which is politically
    correct and even removed a ‘wedding chapel’ due to it being Christian.  

    Someone should write a story about this.  http://apps.facebook.com/cityfederation/

    I always found that so weird how the supposed liberals are the people with the speech codes and the violence.  Until you realize that our liberals are not liberals in the sense that is still defined in the dictionary. 

    Liberal once meant someone for small government and self reliance  like Franklin and Washington and Adams.  These were real liberals but since then the definition has changed.

    Just like the word Gay just 40 years ago meant ‘Happy’  no longer.  Now it means Homosexual. 

    Liberal now means Fascist and with this new more accurate definition then all of the violence and anti-American attitudes of these creatures is easily defined.

    I love this OWS thing. I guess since we can’t blame everything on Bush anymore we need a new target to randomly blame everything on? Nobody is all that big of a fan of some of the things some the various entities on wall street do. But they aren’t really the reason California is in debt. You can place that blame squarely on the liberal politics of the state and the mass exodus of business and money due to those politics. I know it sucks but Margaret Thatcher was correct when she said the only problem with socialism is eventually you run out of other people’s money. It all sounds great until you realize that eventually you just end up with Detroit. Once a global landmark for business and industry that is now bulldozing houses because all the companies who wanted to continue to operate inside of their margins were run out of town.

    This was written by a 21 yr old female who gets it. It’s her future she’s worried about and this is how she feels about the social welfare big government state that she’s being forced to live in! These solutions are just common sense in her opinion. This was in the Waco Tribune Herald, Waco , TX Nov 18, 2010Put me in charge . . . Put me in charge of food stamps. I’d get rid of Lone Star cards; no cash for Ding Dongs or Ho Ho’s, just money for 50-pound bags of rice and beans, blocks of cheese and all the powdered milk you can haul away. If you want steak and frozen pizza, then get a job. Put me in charge of Medicaid. The first thing I’d do is to get women Norplant birth control implants or tubal ligations. Then, we’ll test recipients for drugs, alcohol, and nicotine and document all tattoos and piercings. If you want to reproduce or use drugs, alcohol, smoke or get tats and piercings, then get a job. Put me in charge of government housing. Ever live in a military barracks? You will maintain our property in a clean and good state of repair. Your “home” will be subject to inspections anytime and possessions willbe inventoried. If you want a plasma TV or Xbox 360, then get a job and your own place.  In addition, you will either present a check stub from a job each week or you will report to a “government” job. It may be cleaning the roadways of trash, painting and repairing public housing, whatever we find for you. We will sell your 22 inch rims and low profile tires and your blasting stereo and speakers and put that money toward the common good. Before you write that I’ve violated someone’s rights, realize that all of the above is voluntary. If you want our money, accept our rules.. Before you say that this would be “demeaning” and ruin their ”self esteem,” consider that it wasn’t that long ago that taking someone else’s money for doing absolutely nothing was demeaning and lowered self esteem.  If we are expected to pay for other people’s mistakes we should at least attempt to make them learn from their bad choices. The current system rewards them for continuing to make bad choices   AND While you are on Government subsistence, you no longer can VOTE! Yes that is correct. For you to vote would be a conflict of interest. You will voluntarily remove yourself from voting while you are receiving a Government welfare check. If you want to vote, then get a job.  Now,  PASS IT ON…

    As a CAL alumni, I am not surprised at all that the campus is still populated by homeless, unemployed, drug dealers, rapists, beggars, and the mentally ill. The California Berkeley campus, like all California public colleges and Universities is in decline, is over priced, and its undergraduate education is sub-par. My daughter goes to the University of Cincinnati Pharmacy school and pays LESS in tuition and fees as an OUT of STATE student than she would have at UC Irvine.  California is crumbling, the infrastructure is dangerously decomposing, the society is at best “un-safe”, yet the campus police make over $100,000 in salary as do most public sector union employes employed by the UC system. They “serve and protect” the students by pepper spraying them. Go figure. How is that Brown, Pelosi, Boxer, corrupt tri-fecta working out for you? Aren’t you glad you supported the liberal democrat “solution”? Don’t you feel safe and secure in your daily lives, and in your futures? You people will never learn.

    Occupy Wall Street protesters should become Wall Street PARTICIPANTS rather than critics.  I made that choice about 20 years ago and have never regretted it.  I’m certainly no one special, and if I can do it, anyone can.  All it takes is a period of sacrifice (for me it was about 18-months), focus, and adherence to a program.  If you are lucky enough to be working now, I advise it.
     
    Find a company that has a strong balance sheet (lots of cash with respect to assets), current profitability and that has been profitable for many years, and a board of directors that is nice to shareholders.  That last is especially important.  What I mean by that is that they pay CURRENT DIVIDENDS.  Look for one that has a long history of increasing dividends over many years, that pays between 2-5% annually, that is not paying out more than 50-60% of its current income, and has a reasonably strong cash position (cash to total assets).  As a check on yourself, make sure the company has one of the top three financial ratings (A++, A+, or A).  You will start increasing your own current revenue stream within 3-months max.  I really started noticing it after about three years, and I started by investing only $2,000 every three months.
     
    It takes initial sacrifice.  You have to believe that it will work (it will) and don’t worry about the day-to-day, even month-to-month swings in the market.  The reason is that you are working on a different level, the dividends that have a long history of increasing, orchestrated by a company that has a long history of increasing their profits to get to that point.  It works.  Why not JOIN them?

    Occupy protesters, attacking one of the 99%… again.

    Has the Occupy movement done anything to help the 99%, or to target their actions at the 1% and not the 99%?

    So far what I’ve seen are strikes, work shutdowns, harassment, assaults, and other criminal activities all targetting the 99% and none that have any impact on the 1% they claim to be targeting.

    Either their aim is amazingly bad, or they’ve been lying and their goal from the start has been to do what they’re doing, attack the 9(%, and leave the 1% untouched.

    They’re either lying jerks; or unbelievably incompetent at everything they’ve done.  Any guesses which it is?

As soon as we get you get you scum fighting between yourselves over our tax dollars and as to how they are to be apportioned for your handouts the sooner we win. You lose, victims of your greed.

          OWS is calling for more government control over basic industries like finance and energy.  IMNHO, that’s not a conservative position.

    MENTALLY UNBALANCED LEFTISTS

    We are going to see a lot more of this sort of thing. The OWS, a wholly contrived effort planned for nearly a year by the extreme Marxist left and the public employee unions, is a bust, fizzle, failure. It was somehow to be the Democrat-socialist “answer to the Tea Party. Try again. The Tea Party is the American middle class. The OWC is largely a band of wierdos.

    It attracted the economically illiterate pig ignorant populist left, anarchists, professional self hating malcontents, and a large contingent of the mentally unbalanced. As the “movement” circles the bowl, expect more violence as despair sets in. Keep it up guys. You are helping us Tea Party folks convince the brain dead “independents” to toss out the Obamanistas next year!

    Apparently the left wing brainwashing doesn’t work with everyone…If I was in her shoes I would worry about disppearing in the near future

    Isn’t the ideology of the Occutards the actual reason places like California are in debt?

    I’m sorry, I was led to believe that the Tea Party was evil and full of hate.  What did I miss?

      Maybe you should attend a rally and not believe everything you hear on MSNBC (LSD).

    I’ve heard that Obama is going to use the OWS chaos to ‘suspend’ the presidential elections in 2012, that way he will be president by default…I’ve heard this from several VERY reliable resources…research it for yourselves…it angers me at what these ows trouble makers are getting away with…they are blantantly breaking the laws of this land, and are STILL being glamorized on the evening commie news…

    Oh yeah!  I remember that at the tea party gatherings.   Uhhh, maybe not.

    Sorry,
    Should have said: I believe Lenin called these folks: Useful Idiots.  Sooooooo right.

    It’s ironic that those (i.e., liberals)
    who demand tolerance and respect for diversity of opinion
    the most from others
    rarely exhibit the traits themselves.

    the reason California is in debt and about to go bankrupt is the unsustainable pay, benefits and pensions given to government workers at every level.. insane… promises made by elected officials to get Union support for their election…. just like Brown… but guess what…. the bills are coming due and even California cannot continue to raise taxes every year.

    nurses making 270K, school administrators making 500K, firemen making 150K a year for life in pensions after 25 yrs service by working unecessary and crazy overtime their last year….

    keep voting for Democrats …. you get the government you desrve

     Sproul Plaza has been the heart of the Occupy movement at UC and in fact it iwas an Occupy Movement protest.  Nice try in attempting to deflect, but wrong.  This “movement” has become diseased and is losing the heart and minds of America on a daily basis.  The reason is simple.  There is no clear reason for it.  All the things that it may believe in that the true silent majority of this Country belive in has been stated already by the Tea Party, minus the commies, radicals, crime and general disrespect for the Country.  Hence…there will be no grand shift or movement related Occupy.  History will note the Occupiers and it will not be pretty or flatering.

    OWS is not an Obama re-elect ploy.  Have you been to OWS?  There are people of all political affiliations there.  I support OWS.  I could care less if Obama is re-elected or not.

    The protest at UC is about the skyrocketing tuition.  It has nothing to do with OWS.  Just because someone is walking around with a sign does not mean it has anything to do with OWS.  If someone thinks that someone being violent toward someone else because they are not an activist is just behaving how any other activist would, you’re sadly mistaken.

    The actions and behaviors of these people mirror those of the ‘freedom rioters’ of the 60s. In time, these jackasses will be lauded as heroes as well.
