Occupy Oakland Attacked By Tear Gas, Rubber Bullets, and Flash Grenades

President Obama isn't going to put his foot in his mouth and say anything other than "protesting is as American as Apple Pie...." which he's never said, by the way. What excessive police actions? Sayz you. The only people who view UC-Davis' president in an unfavorable light are those way too close to the situation to be objective.
yes EXCESSIVE POLICE ACTIONS sayz me. and the unfavorable light seems to be where she stands according to the prez of the uc colleges in other words her boss. he seems to think students have a right to protest without being beaten or pepper sprayed and i agree with him only US citizens and nationwide.
 
I think the police have shown enough patience for these protesters. They were given numerous chances to police themselves but that notion isn't sinking in. If people wearing the OWS stripes are going to continue being violent and causing trouble, then they should be dealt with as criminals. Sure, an OWS thug who breaks a window doesn't mean the whole OWS is bad, but when you hear so many of these reports, enough is enough already. Take them to jail. If a group of the OWS is being peaceful, then leave it, but if a lot of people of the OWS in a certain area are causing hell, nip it in the bud.
 
You'd think they'd get the hint...maybe a good old water hose would send them packing.

They need to: Go Home and Get A Job

Yes, because the reason we have an 8.6% unemployment rate is because there are jobs just sitting there waiting for everyone :roll:

Agreed. It's become rather difficult to get jobs so telling people to just "get a job" doesn't help much, imo.

Yeah, I don't agree with things some of the crazier OWS folks are doing, such as holding up businesses and graffiti and causing chaos and whatnot, but telling everyone "go home and get a job" is just being rather obtuse.

The unemployment rate is there because they won't go out and get the jobs that are available. It doesn't mean there aren't jobs, just jobs they don't want. Especially since unemployment was extended by The Anointed One from 26 weeks to 36 months. They have no incentive to work.
