If someone was armed, would you smash out the window of their car?

Sound bright to you?
It wasn't too bright of them to refuse to follow police order, as evidenced by the casualties. :roll:

It also wasn't too bright for the US to be engaged in a war they did not attempt to win; they just wanted to repel the North Vietnamese/Vietcong. Add 58,220 U.S. service members killed, a draft that forced young men to go into combat, and you can figure the rest. A good reason for those young draft-aged men to protest? I think so. Anyhow, I am not going to debate that war. It was beaten to a pulp in the late 1960's and most of the 1970's.

I do notice an alarming trend on your part; that you feel LEO using deadly force is a good thing almost every time it happens. We will not agree on that.

Please save the veiled insults for other posters. Thanks.
 
My mistake then. I didn't live through Vietnam or segregation. I was taught that a lot of peaceful protests turned violent during segregation.

In the case of the Occupy protests, there was nothing peaceful about it. They trashed Woodruff Park. The mayor asked them to leave at a specific deadline, and they wouldn't.

How do you feel about the Marine that served 2 terms in Iraq laying in a hospital on a respirator because police hit him in the head with a tear gas cansiter? He was standing quietly inside the barricade. When people tried to come to his assistance, another tear gas canister was fired into them. How do you feel about all of that?

Peaceful? According to the video I saw on the news, the protesters were very peaceful until they were assaulted.

Here's the video: [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqNOPZLw03Q[/ame]

Absolutely disturbing. The cops actually fired a flashbang into the small crowd that was gathering to help him. That was absolutely criminal behavior, and the officer(s) responsible for that should be debagded and prosecuted for assault. I don't care what he did. I don't care what happened before this. I don't care one fucking iota about anything other than this moment, where an already-wounded man is attacked by the police. What is shown on this video is completely unacceptable, cowardly, and criminal behavior by a United States law enforcement agency.

I'd like to see what Tex has to say about this war veteran protester being treated in such a respectful manner by the police.

They are still investigating the cause of the "wound" But, even Vets have to follow police orders. Don't do the crime if you can't do the time.....

Suspect the protestor of wrongdoing on principle. The cops are innocent until proven guilty (even when the video is right in front of your eyes).

Nothing less than I would have expected from you. Sickening.

I've seen tons of video of the incident. They were asked to leave twice and then warned. They had their chance to do as told. This doesn't happen when you obey the law

I'm glad the founding fathers didn't listen to people like you.
 
I was 19, so I remember.

I had a draft card, and watched the lottery with a group of my buddies. Needless to say, we were glued to the TV. My age gave me the break I wanted. Missed the chance to be drafted by about 15 months. They were still debating the shape of the table for the cease-fire negotiations when my lottery was held, so there was the air of uncertainty. My number was somewhere in the mid 200's. :ty:

Sounds like you are the same age as my Dad. He barely missed too.

Hubby was #65, and he got picked. Lucky me. :)
 
TXgolfer, you're saying that the vet is not really wounded? The poor guy is sedated pending possible neurosurgery. Your compassion is underwhelming. Stay classy!

Where did I say that? There are just differing reports on what hit him. But no I don't have alot of compassion for people who don't obey police orders.
 
TXGolfer, did you ever watch Inside Job, finally? I started this thread to talk about how events in the past few years generated a now worldwide movement and you've done nothing but post about the few who've deviated from what the movement was supposed to be about. It's too bad that you just flat out refused to talk about the issues that started the whole movement and resort to calling people like that Iraq vet campers and flea-ridden hippies who have no lives.

This is the last time I will acknowledge any of your posts on this thread or elsewhere on AD.

Sorry you feel that way but...

A) It's way more than a few and I think it's relevant to consider where the argument is coming from and how it is being made.

B) I disagree We have discussed the issues throughout the thread. Banks, foreclosures and student loans and so on
 
TXgolfer, you're pathetic. I'm going to use my ignore feature.
