What Occupy protests are you f'n going to where you are "swept" all along, are hurt or, better yet, have miscarriages? My family and I been to a few Occupy marches in NY/Boston and NONE have "swept" any of us to the point where we can't simply walk towards a side of the street and move away from them. Our kid isn't even in the stroller half the time and she has absolutely no problem walking right next to us. It's not the running of the bulls in Pamplona ffs. Gain some mother****ing perspective and actually attend one instead of talking as if you're some sort of authority on marches you watch on television.
One of our posters posted a while ago that he was going to take his two daughters to OWS....three and 18-months, if I remember correctly. Being the calm, rational person I am, I was adamant that he was an idiot. He was (unlike some posters) politely adamant in the other direction. "What could go wrong." Well, I heard from that poster. He was honest enough to tell me afterwards that he decided
not to bring his kids....and if he had'of, he would have had to turn around and go home.
My best friend took her three-year-old to Navy Pier on the 4th of July. Thousands and thousands of people. The rush of the crowd was so overwhelming, that they became very concerned that they were in the midst of a mob mentality (albeit a very peaceful one). He put his daughter on his shoulders, and they left.
I was at a convention in San Diego. Jay Leno was entertaining at the keynote event. The sound system failed. 3,000 people were asked to walk down a wide staircase to the floor below to enter a new room. Someone fell at the bottom of the stairs causing an immediate and serious pile-up. Several people were taken to the hospital.
I was at Disneyland in Los Angeles. There's a huge 3-story escalator. A little girl, going down the escalator, got her shoelace caught at the bottom of the escalator. Her parents panicked....couldn't find the emergency-off. Fortunately, another visitor jumped over her and pressed the button to stop the staircase.
I'm not an authority on marches, I'm a commonsense lady who understands the dangers of mere
crowds. Add the incendiary nature of a protest to the crowd, and one has a recipe for disaster.
The
fact that you take your young child to a protest tells me everything I need to know about Hatuey.
The
fact that you can't post to me without expletives deleted tells me everything I need to know about Hatuey. ('Course it's Hatuey 201 for me....)
I suggest you gain some perspective on how to post on a public forum and make yourself heard....instead of sounding like a raving lunatic.
