WaterMan Posted October 11, 2011 Author Share Posted October 11, 2011 (edited) Police arrest veterans and threw their USA flags to the ground in Boston last night. Very American! http://thinkprogress.org/special/2011/10/1...rom-99-percent/ Cops all around America have a thing for arresting 20 yr old girls. http://www.flickr.com/photos/safesounds/se...57627743790407/ Seems they were arrested because the police were protecting $150,000 worth of flowers.

Ditkaless Wonders Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Police arrest veterans and threw their USA flags to the ground in Boston last night. Very American! http://thinkprogress.org/special/2011/10/1...rom-99-percent/ Cops all around America have a thing for arresting 20 yr old girls. http://www.flickr.com/photos/safesounds/se...57627743790407/ Seems they were arrested because the police were protecting $150,000 worth of flowers. Police are subject to the control and direction of civilian authority. They do not act on their own. The civilian authority, the democratically elected authority, in Boston is a Mayor who is a Democrat. The Mayor directed the Chief of Police to clear the public space. The Police gave several warnings to those in the space that it was to be cleared. They requested cooperation. They did not storm in but moved slowly and peaceably in. The citizenry who had determined they would not cooperate with lawful requests, who choose instead confrontation, were taken peaceably into custody. That means they were cuffed , zip tied actually. Cuffing requires arrestees empty their hands of sticks and poles. That those sticks and poles happen to hold flags is not necessarily relevant. Many getting upset about the sanctity of the flag in this instance are happy to see it burn at protests or to be used to wipe up feces while calling it art. The faux outrage is therefore laughable. BTW, I fully support anyone's right to burn the flag or to use it for toilet paper. It is laughable that there could be any outrage over the photo ops of controled street theatre, the intended outcome of which was flags on the ground and vets being cuffed. they might as well have cuffed themselves and thrown the flags on the ground themselves. Their status as vets and their holding of flags is not some magic talisman that protects them from the consequences of their own decisions.

This is drama at it's finest. The Academy surely will take notice come awards time, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ditkaless Wonders Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 (edited) I believe I will make and market Bill of Rights toilet paper. I will sell them packaged by the amendment. First amendment rolls will have the text of the amendment printed on each square. The same for the second, the fourth, you name it. Then I will wait for orders. Each side of the political spectrum can order up some for their hated adversaries. They will make wonderful gifts to be shared and great items to send to pols, pundits, and judges. imagine the fun in the accompanying cards when one receives this thoughtful gift. "Here, you wipe for ass with the _____ (fill in your favorite amendment) amendment figuratively, now you can do it literally." I'm going to be rich. People love outrage and hyperbole, and I have just figured out how to market to those desires.

Deathpig Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 I'll take the 15th - 19th package and the 24th, please. Technically, the Bill of Rights only encompasses the first ten Amendments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEC=UGA Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Technically, the Bill of Rights only encompasses the first ten Amendments. You are correct... I skipped over that part somehow (or it escaped my cognition) and attributed his idea to all of the amendments. Soooo, if I could only choose from the first ten... How bout the 8th. And maybe the third and fourth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I see, these kids are part of the opressed masses in the US worried about how they're going to pay for their masters in contemporary dance from SUNY. They are very concerned that things have gotten out of control with 9% unemployment (meanwhile in Egypt the unemployment rate was at 20%+ and poverty was rampant). These kids have no concern for when they will get their next meal, though many of those in the Arab Spring would have to stand in line for hours to get bread, meats, vegetables and dairy products. To even compare the tribulations of these two groups is insane and does a disservice to the struggles that those active in the Arab Spring faced.

CowboyGal2011 Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Occupy L.A. Speaker: “One of the speakers said the solution is nonviolent movement. No, my friend. I’ll give you two examples: French Revolution, and Indian so-called Revolution. Gandhi, Gandhi today is, with respect to all of you, Gandhi today is a tumor that the ruling class is using constantly to mislead us. French Revolution made fundamental transformation. But it was bloody. India, the result of Gandhi, is 600 million people living in maximum poverty. So, ultimately, the bourgeoisie won’t go without violent means. Revolution! Yes, revolution that is led by the working class. Long live revolution! Long live socialism!” Here comes the truth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
