It's like some film about a future dystopia, except the future is now, and it isn't a movie.

(14,656 posts)seen at the Repub convention in St. Paul, the Occupy protests etc, I want to
know: What in the hell are these protectors of the public so fearful of that
they have to don the end of times gear? In this case, a small child with a
doll?

Can anyone see any name tags on the uniforms? If there are none present then they are in violation of the law and people need to speak to that issue. We need to start to hold them accountable.

(13,620 posts)focused on the ATF agents raiding the compound, during the first arrest attempt wearing the "Darth Vader" helemts? This while serving a legitimate arrest warrent involving a well armed and dangerous group. You see these cops in full riot gear against peaceful protestors, armed to the teeth and in some cases violently assauting them. Where is the outrage from the media?

(20,219 posts)this is what sets my hair on fire.
I noticed, logging on, stupid ass Yahoo's pro-rethug spin. Emphasizing the anal-cyst's apology, and all words minimizing the damage to women. Also, disinformationally wording Sandra Fluke's demand that insurance cover birth control as, "wanting free birth control".

(32,139 posts)I don't recognize this country anymore. This is not a red versus blue issue anymore. We are being assaulted and our liberties stripped from us by the one percent via both parties.
Occupy now, because they are putting structures into place to prevent occupation later. It has never been more important.

I think it's time we 'outed' those obvious 'terrorists' and 'anti-american' protesters such as the little girl in the picture. /sad sarcasm

(113,552 posts)these woman-hating fools have finally figured out that the women they are screwing are REALLLLLLLY angry--and these fools know how THEY would behave in such circumstances. so yes, they are AFRAID--AFRAID of what they have sown, and what they are about to reap.

But against those with criminal histories like that, not to mention the imposing physical stature of roughly 3 feet tall and 60 pounds large, I know that I'd sure feel better with 3 inches of body armor and a tactical helmet on to protect me.
