Really merc? You think that's something worth quoting?

Where do you think they should protest? I'm assuming you still believe that the people have the right to protest. You know, free speech and all that...

The Chancellor of Univ Calif at Davis has opened an investigation of
the incident where a (university ?) police officer used pepper spray
on a group of seated N17-demonstrators.

This is one video of the incident, as reported by Fox News:

Well there's the mystery, and the drama of Travis Bickle - is he a hero, or is he reprehensible? Is he sane or insane? Is he us or he is never us?

"And you MUST change your views because it is NOT POSSIBLE that I am wrong."

I'm posting this because the initial remarks by PDX Chief of Police Reese
were a big deal in his justification for ordering officers to disband
the Occupy Portland protesters on Thursday (11/17/11).

He was responding to a question from a reporter asking if the PDX police
were able to respond normally to 911 calls for help from the public.
Chief Reese made something of an emotional reply about
taking 3 hours to respond to a report of "rape".

Portland police chief sorry for saying Occupy Portland
slowed police response to rape call

Quote:

PORTLAND, Ore. — Portland Police Chief Mike Reese has apologized
for saying Thursday it took police three hours to respond to a sexual assault call
because officers were tied up with Occupy Portland.

In a statement Saturday night, Reese said a variety of factors affected
police resources the day of the call, including a shooting, a serious traffic crash
and Occupy Portland events. Reese's statement said he
didn't intend to mislead people during TV interviews Thursday
and should have gathered all information before discussing it publicly.

A 15-year-old girl called Nov. 6 to report she had been the victim
of a sexual assault two days earlier. Police said it took three hours
before an officer showed up at her location because only two police cars
were available to respond to calls in that precinct.

FWIW: Chief Reese is reportedly going to run for Mayor in the next election.

Un-Occupy Portland introduces itself to Occupy Portland

Quote:

Armed with snarky signs and at least one false mustache,
a group of about 10 anti-Occupy Portland protestors,
who called themselves Un-Occupy Portland, stood near Ankeny Plaza
to deliver a message to the Occupy movement:
"We're seriously annoyed, and we want you to stop."

As members of Occupy Portland gathered for a rally on the plaza,
the Un-Occupy protestors held signs with sayings such as
"We are the 98.999%. We are seriously annoyed with the 0.001%,"
"I'm bored and easily influenced," and "Un-Occupy Portland:
The 98.999% for Portland Police, Taxpayers and the City's Budget."

"Here's the problem: There is no consistent message,"
said Un-Occupy's self-described "actual, consistent spokesman,"
a construction worker who chose not to be identified.
"Their message is whatever the person standing beside you thinks their message is."

Why does the word "hobgoblin" keep coming to mind ?

Clearly, it is an evil moustache, meant for twirling and demanding the rent.

Bloody filthy landlords!
