Paul Ryan was right: it all comes down to math: A distaff member of Occupy Wall Street (or perhaps Occupy Tampa?) has learned how to count to two.
Update (Bryan): Thank you, Ed, for getting these posted so quickly.
I shot both clips with my iPhone after the conclusion of Mitt Romney’s acceptance speech. Chris Salcedo and I were walking down Ashley Street in Tampa when we encountered the large occupier/anarchist protest that was blocking the streets outside the security perimeter near the convention center. Police lined both sides of the street two or three deep in places, and were making sure that the occupiers only occupied the street and could not get up onto the sidewalks or into the buildings. Mounted police held a very stout security line where the media checkpoint had been all week. The police were diverting conventioneers around the back of the Sheraton that sits on the corner, taking us away from the protest and away from my car, which was parked in a garage down the street.
Chris and I came up onto the scene, and told the police officers that we were media and wished to cover the protest and also get to our transportation. The police obliged and we walked down the sidewalk.
It’s next to impossible to make out, but in the first clip there was a woman and man pair who spotted me and watched me as I walked by. Whether they were mugging for the camera or not I don’t know, but they both directly threatened me. The woman pointed directly at me and said, “We’re coming after you.” The man then followed suit and said the same thing. But for the fact that the police officers were between us, I have little doubt that they would have tried to start something. And all I was doing was walking by and capturing the scene on my camera in my role as media.
Do you think there will be Tea Party protesters held back by police at the Democrat/Socialist Convention next week?
If the Dems get their protesters [FB, read: street thugs] the same place they get attendees for their convention, bars it seems, there is no surprise here.

Should the TP be at the DNC, there wont be a need for the police to “hold” them back.
It is only the “mostly peaceful” protest wing of the Democrat party that needs to have every cop from the nearest 3 counties in riot gear for their “protests.”
One word, Reichstag.
Another word: ObamaJugen.
ObamaJugenD. There is a D on the end of that word.
Bolshevik also fits pretty well.
Cowards hiding behind civil rights attorneys and the belief that being an asshole is a “right.”
Sorry kids, you’re not as cool and edgy as you think you are.
Try that stuff in a bar and they get popped in the face.
lol exactly! those 2 goobers had cops and attorneys right there waiting for something, but you know they wouldnt be as “feisty” by themselves in a bar or in the general street. They cant debate and they sure as hell cant fight. both of them look like they need a real man to bend them over. her 1 finger salute is prob all she has cause you know hil lil lib pecker aint getting the job done
Give the poor girl a break. She was just bragging about her IQ.
That makes sense. After all, an IQ of 11 is quite an achievement for a Democrat. I’ve heard that Obama himself inspires to a high number like that….
I thought that was Roman numerals for 2
no she was bragging on her companions weiner size…”its almost as big as this you racist republicans!”
That’s a threat? I’m no lefty, but man, you need to grow a pair.
Empty heads…. empty threats. I doubt cowards like these two would have the guts to do anything, although, if they do, are they positive people are still willing to “turn the other cheek”? Maybe real Americans are finally getting fed up with “puffy punks” that think they have a right to do whatever they please.
I have to say, I was expecting something a little more threatening in this video of “threateaning” behavior. It just appears the two were being assholes, not really makng threats (and really just her, not him, he just stands there). One skinny chick in hipster-douchbag “smart glasses” waving her middle fingers around doesn’t constitute much of a threat. Now, do I think the OWS types in general would ramp up the violence big time if they could get away with it? Absolutely.
In retaliation, we should send these folks to the Democratic convention.
When the opposition wants to be idiots, don’t stop them.
It’s interesting to me that these types are chock-full and defiant of their ‘right to do and say anything they want, under freedom of speech/expression’ then show up to prevent anybody else having theirs…I guess it’s because they’re so enlightened and all.
After all, taxpayers wouldn’t be nice people if they didn’t fill ALL the hands held out for money, food, shelter, clothing, medical care, cell phones, school and now, thanks to Sandra Fluke’s compassionate plea on behalf of Fornicators Forward! Free contraception.
Next, ‘those who play by the rules’ will be forced to provide 40% of their household income to support all ‘those who don’t play by the rules’…
…we’re doing that already?
Never mind.
the obama and clowns are often described as using Lenin tactics …well some are but in reality he is using Hitler’s tactics. the difference is subtle at times.
i think it’s much ado about nothing
calling these vagrants “protestors” gives them an unearned status
they are lost souls who are probably not aware of what they are doing, why they are doing it and what they are doing next
no need to worry about these fools
Good thing the iPhone doesn’t have the application “iReek” or you could smell their urine soaked clothes.
In Germany prior to WWII there were ongoig streetfights between communists and nazis. In that time they really wanted to hurt one another.
Occupy just wants to instigate a small incident and show the inevitable collapse of capitalism.
Anarchists did attempt to murder a policeman in San Francisco a couple of years ago. The cop was alone with 30 Anarchists and they tried to shove him under a car.
Sharpshooter: “Jungen”, not “Jugen”.
And it distresses me no end to see young people so obviously unhappy and disturbed; those are the years for happiness and for helping others.
As long as the Occupy crowd is known for disagreeing disagreeably, and there are people with their hands on the levers of power who are intimidated by them – I am not the only one outside of the US to downgrade the influence the US has on the 95% of the world’s population that is not American.
Either grow up, or get out of the way of what needs to be done.

Heh, heh;
And what country, pray tell, do you think is going to displace us and take over?
And to think Bryan, these weren’t even Ronulans who harangued you on the flight back from Iowa over the Federal Reserve!
