Hey! Time to celebrate people having their Constitutional rights stomped on! If we're lucky they'll ban guns next!

Yea?

I'm not sure the 1st applies to living in parks or the town square, chitting in public and on the public, but they do have the right to be heard.

I don't hate what these (some/most) folks are trying to accomplish. I understand their frustrations but they really gotta' get their chit together if they wanna' be takin' serious.

Freedom to assemble. Constitutional right not to be falsely arressted for peacefully assembling. One could argue that it's a person's duty to resist arrest if that right is being comprimised.

Chuck S.,

Perhaps you could enlighten us with the list of rules for legally protesting and demonstrating in the "right manner," in case some of us are a bit uncertain now with the court ruling and all.

Step one, hang tea bags off your hat.

Step two, bring your firearm and wear it on your hip.

Step three, make an unintelligible sign with very poor spelling.

Step four, yell out "No Government Health Care!" while holding a sign that says "Hands off my Medicare!"...(I spelled that correctly for clarity, it would more than likely say "Hans off my Medocare!" or something like that.)

That...is how you protest in the "right manner".

Let me first admit that I havent been following this all that much (except the threads on here which can be dangerous) and I dont proclaim to know all the in's/out's of the 1st Amendment or much about the Laws.
So with that being said, if a public park or other gathering places is were the protesters sent up then to me it seems like it is ok (legal) but if those places have laws/rules (no camping, closing hours, ect) and the protesters violate those then are they not breaking the law? Also if in downtown Seattle they are blocking traffic doesn't the SPD have the responsibility and duty to act to keep the seen/area safe for all citizens?

An 84-year-old woman in Seattle has quickly become a face of the national Occupy Wall Street movement after Tuesday's photo went viral.

Yeah this is truly something to be proud of, NOT!

UH OH, those TEA BAGGERS are not getting the message so these millionaires are bringing it to them.
Seems everybody gets it but the densest of us!



Millionaires ask Congress to raise their taxes

They planned to take their message to members of the super committee, Tea Party Republicans including Rep. Louie Gohmert of Texas and Rep. Tom Price of Georgia, and even anti-tax champion Grover Norquist.

Protesters gathered in the intersection of 5th Avenue and Pine Street after marching from their camp at Seattle Central Community College in support of Occupy Wall Street. Many refused to move from the intersection after being ordered by police.

OK. Fine. Protest all you want. ON THE [censored] SIDEWALK! What right do you have to block a major thoroghfare and keep hundreds if not thousands of people from getting home. [censored] YOU!

"Millionaires ask Congress to raise their taxes'

Think through this notion for just a second. Bill Gates and Warren Buffet have both publically said this. However both have the opportunity to give their excess weath to the government but they do not. Warren gave his to Bill to invest and manage through PRIVATE enterprise. Then they went on a world wide blits to convince others to do the same. Why do they not give their money to the govenment to redistribute if they trust them so much to do the right thing with tax dollars?
truth is they will not pay anymore in taxes even if the govt raised their rates. But you will.

You mean it's not a problem with government spending to much money, but rather rich people not paying their fare share?
Oh like when we had a budget surplus?
How about we roll back the tax cuts and see what happens?

You miss the point completely. Why would Gates and almost all millionaires go to all of the trouble of setting up private charities if govt was either efficient or dealt with their money better than they could? Why would we need private charities at all if the govt was efficient at redistributing wealth? Roll back the tax incentives for private charities at the same time you tax the rich then let’s see what Gates ET all have to say. Force owners /operators of corporations to take income instead of deferring it in combination with above and then let’s hear what they have to say. It’s all a ruse , you pay more and they pay less.

I like to talk crap about those who give billions to charity.

That's what I like to do.

They only do it because they are selfish sneaky bastiges who secretly want you to pay more tax. That's why they offer to pay more taxes. Did you see that white rabbit? Which pill makes you smaller?

No smack just facts. If Bill and Warren were honest about wanting to pay more tax all they have to do is stop deferring income and stop taking write downs for charitable contributions on their private income and quit with the shennanigans on the corp side as well.

Agreed.

They should only give billions to charity the way I want them to do it.

Their dishonesty is appalling.

It's retards like you who have turned this country into the dump that it is. Why do you hate America so much?

DV, now your just toying with their minds.

AM, not that hard to understand here either!

It is not completely a spending problem, it is also a lack of REVENUE! It only takes a little research to see how the tax breaks have bankrupted this country and that needs to change. The hardest part for some will be admitting they were wrong.

Fishy

They never will admit it...and even if they are dragged kicking and screaming into the light, and things improve, they'll still find some way to take credit for it.

Fish on...
