Adbusters, the Canadian magazine credited with starting Occupy, is exhorting lefties to break things at the May Chicago G8 summit.
While the Occupiers have dwindled, don’t believe that a lost media narrative eliminated either the number of potentially violent lefties or their desire to riot this moment, or that bad press and law enforcement alone precipitated Occupy’s current failure.
Frankly, I think they’d be looting today if the East Coast was above 50 Fahrenheit.
Springtime violence is the easiest prediction of Campaign 2012. Judging from the generally iron-deficient response to Occupy, I’m not convinced any city government is prepared — or preparing — to crush it before good folks get hurt.
I feel bad for the people who own property around the protest site, and aren’t allowed to defend themselves. I guess that won’t stop them from voting Democrat for the rest of their lives though, I guess I don’t feel THAT sorry for them.
Look at the bright side. This will create jobs. Plate glass repair, street cleaning, vermin control…
This will be good to defeat Obama, let them scare America, let them carry hizb’allah and communist flags.
And let Obama say that he is on their side.
I can’t wait to see how Twinkletoes Rahm deals with this.
Popcorn anyone?
The problem with the response to the OWS thugs isn’t iron deficiency, it’s copper-jacketed lead deficiency.
We can’t do it, Rob, we can’t even say it! The nightly wet dream of the communist organizers behind the OWS idiots is getting their “Kent State Moment” by having some Tea Party associated tubby bearded guys with AKs slung over their shoulders show up and shoot some OWS idiots. So far we’ve kept our crazies under control so much show that my great fear is an astroturfed Kent State Moment. The Left wants violence, they’ve been dreaming of Helter-Skelter since the ’60s and are now poised to get it. If they can’t get some white “1%er” store owner or some bunch of tubby bearded guys to go nuts and kill some punks, they’ll fake it by doing it themselves. Their biggest problem is that the only place they can find enough useless punks is the big Blue cities whose Democrat mayors and unionized police fundamentally sympathize with them and don’t want to kill them.
And if all else fails, they can be sure of the cooperation of Blue State governors that one day the EBT cards won’t recharge as scheduled and the Blacks will have to riot and go steal some plasma TVs in the White ‘burbs because their babies are starving. Ayers et al. are of the cohort that used to get stoned in dorm rooms and fantasize about busting into the Nixon White House with an axe, oh yeah, they wrote about it, so their legs are tingling for violence. We can’t give it to them. We should be investing in precious metals, but we absolutely cannot be provoked into using violence in any situation other than an attack on our homes or person, and we’ll probably be made into the agressor and the criminal for protecting our person.
Hey, Art, don’t let your enemies define the terms under which we will fight for Liberty.
one word:Flamethrower
I worry about both parties conventions this year. Mostly I worry about Tampa and the Republicans, but Charlotte may bring its own violence, but the latter is sowing what you reap.
Lefties screwing up Chicago? Where’s the novelty? Let them butn the whole place down. Burn it, I say. I will miss the German sub at the museum. And I say this as someone who had three generations of family there.
Burn. It. Down. F’n Leftie Idiots – always fouling their nests. Didn’t their parents teach them _anything_?
Let’s stipulate that burning the Field Museum is unacceptable, shall we?
The German sub is at the Museum of Science and Industry in Jackson Park at the eastern end of the Hyde Park neighborhood on the South Side, the one building which remains from the 1893 Columbian Exposition.
The Field Museum (and the Shedd Aquarium), built later but in the same style, are at the southern end of Grant Park, which means they are at risk from an over-the-top display by Occupards, as is the Art Institute.
Forget the guns, forget the flamethrowers. Axe handles are a good old American tradition.
So the OWSers riot in the streets, things get out of control, and just guess what the next step is? Obama declares martial law and cancels the fall elections. I hope I’m wrong, but this is beginning to look like a possible scenario. After all, you can’t let a good crisis go to waste…
Let them burn the urban cores, those vestiges of the early 20th century. Sure, politicians, lawyers and some main stream media types will be displaced. Old businesses and prestige offices hang about downtown but life is elsewhere regardless of how many urban hipster shows are on TV.
Life in America is dispersed in suburbia now. And if the occupiers wish to riot there, well, let’s just say the lawns never looked so green.
They are looting right now. They are collecting food stamps, welfare, unemployment, and every other handout available.
