'Occupy' types

Also, as a side note, the govt. is suing for civil penalties resulting from regulatory violations, they have not yet (and may never) file a criminal indictment.

Back to regularly scheduled program:

Google refuses to remove police-brutality videos, it says — Maine News — Bangor Daily News

In its most recent Transparency Report, Google states that it has received multiple requests from law-enforcement officials to remove videos.

“We received a request from a local law enforcement agency to remove YouTube videos of police brutality, which we did not remove. Separately, we received requests from a different local law enforcement agency for removal of videos allegedly defaming law enforcement officials. We did not comply with those requests, which we have categorized in this Report as defamation requests.”

@ JoeRedskins – thanks very much. I completely agree and feel the same on all points you raised.

@ NCSkins – I have requested that the author of that list add Buddy Roemer to the list, which im almost positive he will. There are a lot of people/groups still not on the list and the author mention that this is just a start. Michael Moore, comes to mind. Also Unions are left off.

I think the intention of the list is to show that there is a lot of extremely questionable and unsavory supporters of the OWS movement. Although its obvious to rational people that OWS leadership (if there is any) would not accept endorsement from some of these groups. However, the reasoning these groups are supportive of OWS is because of the socialist/communist/collective principles that they and OWS share. The same issued plagued the Tea Party’s limited government capitalistic principles, and the attraction unsavory groups had early on to the Tea Party was very well publicize by the media. If anything I would say OWS is being treated far better by the media then the Tea Party ever was.

Ill also add that the majority of Americans and nearly all conservative commentators ive heard are upset and agree with the heart of what OWS is protesting (bailouts, inequality, special interest/corporation influence) (I think that’s what their protesting, right?), but the solutions to those issues are far different then the solutions OWS seem to endorse. I define myself as socially liberal / fiscally conservative and that individual interest is just as important and sometimes even more important than collective interest; in no way am I supportive of Social Justice. So while current fiscal and social issues may be just as upsetting to me and most other Americans as they are to you and OWS protesters, my views on solving the problems are vastly different.

Is this Woodstock thing still going on?

heard balt mayor rawlings-blake talk today about occupy baltimore and the alleged rape.

the concealed identity lady in the balt fox news interview who said she was raped and there is rape evidence at the hospital would lead you to believe there was semen taken from her va jay jay.

Rawlings-blake said she had scratches on her butt and bruises . . which means no semen, im going to assume no penetration. . .

the lady also said she had $1,800 taken from her tent that night and doesnt remember anything that happened.

mayor also said the occupy people are going to have to stop sleeping there overnight at some point/pretty soon.

the new mayor sounds good, she sounds like she is an honest straight up person unlike dixon who just seemed and sounded so so corrupt. idk give stephanie some more time as a politician and lets she is she changes . .

i think its safe to say most of the criminal and vagrant problems associated with the occupy people are from "street" people hitching their wagon to the movement.

the guy who jacks off at an occupy site is the same guy would be doing it under a bridge or behind a dumpster somewhere else. same for people shooting up, etc . . . imo.

That is the occupy group. Have you not looked at the 99% of the people involved with occupy. Its not like they could have a job and protest 24/7 for months at a time.

FD, dont be such a hippy hater.
Dont you know its easier to sit in a park and complain you don't have a job than to actually go look for one.

I don't think that I have refered to them as an organized whole that acts as a single unfied powerful or influential force. If so I'm sorry.
