3. That's because protesters are only violent when you wake them up at 1 a.m.
:sarcasm:

Just where were the cops when the teabaggers were toting around guns at their demonstrations? The only report I've heard of at an OWS event involving a gun was the guy who committed suicide. Not as dramatic as self-immolation, but I guess he felt he was making a point.

Note: That doesn't count the guy who is accused of firing on the WH (captured in Indiana, PA). He doesn't seem to have anything to do with the protests.

Why bother if most people won't be watching the tv in the daytime.

edit: I recommended too and still at zero?? Why in the world would anyone want to unrec this?

7. Unrec'd
for false insinuation of some form of cover up. Plenty of Police in riot gear publicly standing by on Broadway (I walked through this morning).
