UC Davis students provoked police in pepper spray incident
ROS sends us a link to a video from the misnamed Democracy Now! in which UC Davis’ Elli Pearson, one of the pepper sprayed students in the famous event admits that they, the students, surrounded the police and refused to allow the police to LEAVE the campus provoking the pepper spray incident.
In short, they were begging for video footage they could use to appear like they were worthy of sympathy from everyone who didn’t see the entire incident unfold.

“UpNorth already tried intimidation with his l337 GeoIP skillz.” What the fuck are you talking about, moron? I’ve never checked anything on you, I’d rather change the air in my tires, or tune my air guitar, than waste that much time on you.
But, do continue living up to your name.
Correction: NHSparky tried to intimidate me with his l337 GeoIP skillz.
Also, NHSparky, the question was “won more than 50.1% of the vote”. The question was “won the popular vote”. But in any case, yes, Barack Obama did win more than 50.1%, as well as Clinton when he ran against Dole. Carter got exactly 50.1% in 1976.
No matter how you look at this one, you’re wrong. But carry on moving the goal post to find some way to salvage yourself. Just send me a grid for it if you have to carry it too far.
And what exactly does that have to do with the topic? It may have a lot to do with your desire to derail any and every topic, but nothing whatever to do with what is occurring at UC Davis.
Ask the person who brought it up.
Yep. This really is like trying to talk with a 3-yr old!
Or a slinky.
“Correction: NHSparky tried to intimidate me with his l337 GeoIP skillz.”. Thanks for living up to your current iteration of your s/n. Wow, if someone can be “intimidated” by “GeoIP” skills, how serious should they be taken.
In this case, not at all. The old adage, “don’t feed the trolls”, or as FO said, ““RCN is of no value, totally insignificant; conserve ammunition and do not engage.” apply equally.
And yet you engage? Interesting. And no, I’m not intimidated by your lame-ass attempt. That’s why I immediately mocked you for it.
Back to the topic. Democracy is easy. The old Soviet Union was democratic to the extent that there was voting and representation. The same can be said for many rotten countries and, for that matter, the Teamsters union, as well. Thus, democracy–pure or representative– is not inherently good. It takes decent, informed and largely selfless citizens to make it work, people who are fair-minded and law abiding. It also takes a special constitution-based structure that creates a healthy tension among its parts. So, why is it that a group of people who demand “Democracy Now” or play occupiers make most of us want to puke? Because they are the antithesis of what sustains American democracy. They are about what they want and if it takes blocking sidewalks, disrupting traffic, lying, cheating, stealing, and resorting to violence for them to try and get it, then that’s what they’ll do. And to hell with everyone else.
well RCN, I see how its easy for you to get off topic. You are all about “democracy” but your version of “Democracy” is actually mob rule, which if you study history didn’t work out well for Athens, France, and now Egypt.
But if you need more examples that you are utterly wrong how about this: You know N. Korea is called the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea (DPRK). South Korea is just the Republic of Korea (ROK).
Now the major differences between DPRK and ROK can be seen in their capitols, Seoul and Pyongyang. Both were utterly destroyed in the course of fighting between 1950-1953. Seoul was brought down to just corner stones in some places. Actually after the third battle of Seoul, it wasn’t a city, so much as a spot on the map with ruins resembling a city. Even Hiroshima didn’t know the devastation of Seoul. Pyongyang was only fought over twice, but just as destroyed. now over 60 years later the differences are clear. N. Koreans are on average 2 In shorter Pyongyang looks like shit, its buildings are falling apart, and despite grand monuments to the Kim Dynasty, would utterly fail without the support of China. Seoul had rebuilt, and rivals Tokyo (something that hasn’t happened in history). The US supports ROK, but ROK would be fine without us, having a strong economy, and actually a pretty good military.
NOW as for the UC Davis subject, These fucksticks wanted a photo op. They wanted to be popular and “brave”. I’m sure the more provocative of the bunch will probably refer to this many years after everyone’s forgotten about it. “I got Pepper sprayed at Davis. . .” to which people will quizzically respond “so?”
Everyone will forget that this was staged. Everyone will forget that this was all about creating a “victim”. Everyone will forget that the crowd was threatening the cops.
Perhaps the saddest commentary on all this would be what the ancestors of these clowns would say about it all. Most of the idiots have kin who suffered great hardship to get to these shores for the opportunity offered here to any who accepted the challenge. Their dream, most likely, was that the generations following their sacrifices would enjoy it. Instead, these few are working very hard to destroy what was given them.
Good and timely point, OWB.
I see that reading comprehension isn’t moron’s strong suit. Neither are facts. Clinton never got over 50 percent of the popular vote either time. But nice try, dipshit. Guess that CalPoly education just isn’t paying off for ya, now is it?
@#62 NHSparky:
But you are not using “their” rules.
If they think it is so, then it is so. Sheesh!
Citation needed. Man you guys are a new level of dumb. I mean that sincerely. A lot of jabs get traded back and forth here that are meant figuratively, but I sincerely think you are some of the dumbest, unknowledgeable, yet heavily opinionated human beings I have ever come across.
Good work, Jonn.
Well moron, that’s your problem. You think you’re smarter than everyone else, while you’ve clearly proven otherwise.
LOL, right, I’ve proven otherwise in a thread of cascading factual inaccuracies on your side. LOL, good one.
There’s no more telling laughter than the nervous kind. 😉
Isn’t it interesting, how you can throw out all sorts of grandiose statements, about how right you are and how utterly wrong we are, then snidely insinuate that we are all a bunch of half (or all in our Naval friend’s case) mad vets. You love to paint the picture that we sit there waiting for “Charlies” to pop out of the trees or hajis to blow up sidewalks or some shit, and use this as some sort of absolute proof that we are totally out of touch with reality. In reality, most Veterans know for a fact that its most of America that is out of touch. that this bubble of saftey and security is a very fragile thing. That anywhere lese in the world and these cops wouldn’t have hesitated to open fire. You tend to be more alive when sprayed with OC than with bullets. The world is slowly slipping into chaos. We know it. You fail to see than in fact you want to egg it on. You fail again and again to realize that your lofty statements not only DO NOT WIN YOUR ARGUMENT but also show how much of an idiot you are. When we back up our statements you demand proof, then when we prove it you simply tell us we’re wrong. Its like talking to a Truther. Doesn’t matter how many people saw it or how much evidence is amounted you simply refuse to believe the truth Now as for your oh so affectionate terms of endearment for us. . . I’m sure at some point you’re going to scoff about how we all have PTSD, and how funny it is that a bunch of idiots get all remorseful about having to go to an illegal war or something along those lines (that’s usually how it goes). I’m sure if we were all black you’d had thrown out racial epitaphs at some point. And before you even start to declare that you are not in fact a racist, your attitude towards us has made it abundantly clear that you are, in virtue… Read more »
Redacted, this is what passes for proving otherwise, “UpNorth already tried intimidation with his l337 GeoIP skillz”. “Correction: NHSparky tried to intimidate me with his l337 GeoIP skillz”. “And no, I’m not intimidated by your lame-ass attempt”.
Doc Bailey, why do you type such gigantically long-winded posts that could easily be whittled down to a few sentences? I’m not going to spend the time to read all of that hot air, particularly when you don’t know the difference between democratic activities, pure democratic political systems, and the Democratic Party.
I think the most interesting social phenomenon around here is that no matter how fucked up you guys are on the facts, you’ll always cover eachothers’ asses when a dissenter arrives. Go team.
Moron You want it short and sweet? Fine
Fuck off and die.
Feel better now?
actually I do make those distinctions. Democratic activities, town hall meetings. Democratic Government: Municipalities (the ONLY place laws are directly voted on) Democratic Party: once great group of thinkers, reduced to drooling ideological idiots (with a VERY few exceptions)
Why so long? because I want to make it very clear how wrong you are. Really once I get on a roll its hard to stop. There’s just so much error to point out.
If you understand the distinctions, why did you insist on ignoring them?
And I’m being veerrry generous with your definitions, but I think I’m going to have to give a little to get a little on this one.
The leaders of the DNC are all ideologues. Debby WS? Raving lunatic. Dame Pelosi: Botox Queen is terrifying, in that she might actually believe what she says. Prince Harry: Defeatist at heart. Loves to see us lose.
OWS is all nice and Democratic… you notice how as time goes on, places like Oakland, and pretty much every other city that allows them. . .they’re becoming worse and worse. True Democracy is Mob Rule. Mob Rule you might remember gave us Soviet Russia and Nazi Germany and also the horror of the French Revolution
Democratic activities: ONLY WORKS on the small scale (max a few hundred). Anything larger and it would be very quickly an oppressive regime.
“Civilization is the progress toward a society of privacy. The savage’s whole existence is public, ruled by the laws of his tribe. Civilization is the process of setting man free from men.”
tell me son can you place that quote?
this is a statement most of the folks on here would agree with this statement
“…[Y]ou’ll always cover each others’ asses when a dissenter arrives. Go team.”
Finally, something from Master Moron with which I agree, at least partly. If someone wants to engage an idiot at length, he–at least temporarily– removes himself from the available backup. However, if the idiot fails to mind his manners and attacks, backup appears.
Moron. Teh Google…it is your friend. Billy Jeff got 49.2 percent of the popular vote in 1996. Before that, Carter went from a 30-point lead in the polls immediately after the conventions to winning by barely a point…and had the campaign lasted another week he may have well lost. You have to go back to 1964 to see a resounding Dem victory. Look at all 3 cases…1964, 1976, and 2008. It was more a referendum on the predecessor than the GOP candidate.
Carter and Obama are both SCOAMFs who proved ANYONE could beat the GOP candidate after Nixon and Bush. LBJ was basically, “Vote for me…it’s what Kennedy would have wanted.” And look at the everlasting goatfucks Johnson, Carter, and Obama have created or are creating.
The facts don’t matter to Moron, he is above such mundane considerations Sparky.
Thank you NHSparky.
Now, Doc Bailey, observe. I have stated something factually inaccurate: that Bill Clinton’s popular vote poll numbers exceeded 50% of the vote. Now, I can either just pretend that didn’t happen, or I can acknowledge it.
I acknowledge that Bill Clinton did not garner more than 50% of the vote, NHSparky. I was wrong.
There, see, Doc Bailey? Now, can you either offer up evidence that “NOT ONE DEMOCRAT HAS WON THE POPULAR VOTE”, or openly admit that you are wrong, son?
Come on, boy, do the right thing.
electoral college is a wonderful thing eh?
Come on now kiddo, let’s not be coy.
Bottom line, moron is that while the STATES, not the people, elect the president, liberalism, as defined by who votes for whom in a given election, is NOT what the American people as a whole want.
In just over a year, when Obama is a lame duck and filling out his schedule for his Rubber Chicken 2013 Tour, maybe you’ll get that.
No, that’s not the bottom line, that’s some bizarre non-sequitur you keep trying to merge the conversation on to.
Come on now Doc Bailey. Live up to those Core Values. You gents love to bloviate about your service credentials as somehow supportive of your political opinions, but when you’re wrong you won’t honorably admit it as one would expect from sone so “honorable”.
Hell, according to Redacted1775, we’re all still in the military. After all, he wasn’t wrong before either, right?
Wait, I forgot to throw in a few more diminutives. Son, dawg, kid, bucko, bud, champ…
There we go, now we’re talking like a regular TAH’er.
Eh moron, the only one mentioning anything about military credentials in here is you,and more often than any regular at that. I see you still don’t understand DoD directive 1344.10 or 10 USC 772. Guess book learnin ain’t your thing either. Seems like you have a problem admitting when you’re wrong.
It’s OK Redacted1775, keep trotting it out like you didn’t make an ass of yourself.
ARoberts found the appropriate regulation, you however put the English language into a yoga pretzel to try to connect the dots by saying that everyone who ever has been in the military is still in the military.
You still standing by that? Are we all still service members?
So offended, yet still you remain. Yup, looks like the old adage of the asshole being compelled to get the last word in rings true.
What you’ve failed to comprehend in your tenure here is that you’re not the smartest guy in the room, nor the most informed, and not the most rounded. You may like to think you’re in an edgy group and seek approval from all your little douchey hipster coffee klatch buds (I’ve been to SLO a few times and have family on the Central Coast, so spare me the denial unless you’re moonlighting with the migrants down by Santa Ynez) but all you’ve succeeded in doing is throwing into chaos all that bullshit you’ve been fed, and not only can you not deal, you don’t even want to admit you have a problem.
12 steps and all that, dontcha know.
I still don’t understand why you think that saying negative things about SLO is somehow offensive to me. Is that supposed to get under my skin in lieu of anything related to the things we’re discussing?
To me all it tells me is that you have run out of anything of substance to talk about, but you just feel so gosh darn angry that you’re wrong that you have to fire back with something. I mean, calling out the town I live in? What are our teams playing eachother next week or something?
NHSparky:
You still kickin’ that slinky down the stairs? LOL
Simple asnwer is: for anyone to STILL be something, one must have originally BEEN that something.
So, to answer the question, “Are we all still service members?” one would need to know your definiton of several words in the question. What sort of service would that be? Service like “in service” as a butler might say? A housemaid? Or do you refer to some other sort of service?
It’s unfortunate that your diminished capacity doesn’t allow you to understand simple words, threfore allowing yourself to draw the conclusion I was actually trying to imply that everyone that was ever on active duty is still on active duty. That is a problem entirely your own. It’s right there in black in white in BOTH publications. So if the language is unclear to you, you should lodge a complaint with the Secretary of Defense, although I doubt he would release it in pop up picture book format just for you. You must be straight out of your fucking mind, And since you negelcted a certain diminutive befitting your personality, i’m just gonna go ahead and call you peckerlips from now on, mmk,peckerlips? Don’t jump on the field if you can’t hang with the big league.
Frankly…it’s true. I do get a bit of a smile pushing him/it down the stairs.
Oh, and moron, the fact you feel the need to retort to means I’m pretty much dead fucking on in my assessment. Someone shook your little belief cage and you just can’t deal, thereby explaining your continued presence as you screech and fling your shit at the bars.
In the words of Val Kilmer/Doc Holliday, “Oh, are you still here? You may go now.”
Careful now, you’re about to define what “is” is.
So, by your own rationale, the fact that you retort to me means that I’m pretty much “dead fucking on” in my assessments of you…. interesting paradox.
Luckily those aren’t my criteria, so I don’t have to suss out those details. Get back to me when you figure your way out of that one. Unless your next move is to declare yourself to be “rubber” and everyone else “glue”.
Meanwhile, why oh why won’t the great honorable vet’ren known as Doc Bailey live up to those core values by admitting civilly that he is wrong? I suppose it’s the company he keeps around here.
Something tells me moron’s getting angry. It’s ok, peckerlips, it’s just the internet. If your delicate sensibilites are so offended on this blog, then don’t come here anymore. Now, go eat your milk and cookies son.
Not quite how the game is played, scooter. Ya see, I’ve been around for a while. I’ve posted here in one name, and one name only. My bona fides are well established. I’ve even exchaned e-mails, conversed, and met a couple of the folks who post or comment here.
You, OTOH? You throw bullshit and bullshit claims out there expecting us to simply buy what you’re selling. You’re a fucking Internet version of Joe Isuzu (look it up.) Yet we’re the fucking trolls?
Back to the topic at hand, that of the little douches who are by now milking their new found hippie cred into the occasional add shot in their latte or a handjob (with condom of course) from that sorta chubby frosh who in reality just wants your marked up text so she can use it next seester? What exactly did they accomplish aside from pissing away about $30-plus K a year of mommy and daddy’s money or take out loans they’ll never be able to repay working in an indie music store instead of being, well, you know, MARKETABLE?
I dunno, I’d say you’re projecting. Why else would you feel the need to whip out such scorchers as “peckerlips” and more diminutives like “son”? Did you guys have abusive fathers or something? You’re really big on the diminutives.
LOL, I’m not going to read all of that. But the fact that you felt the need to reply, and with such enthusiasm, tells me by your own criteria, NHSparky, that my assessments of you are right.
Hey, I didn’t make up the criteria. You did.
Oh wait…there is ONE thing they got that’ll go real well on those resumes after they graduate in 5-6 years, assuming they do…A CRIMINAL RECORD!!!!
YAY dipshits!
