Coast Guard member assaulted by Occupy Boston crowd
Yeah, the Occupy Boston clowns are denying that it was one of their members who spat upon, verbally abused and tossed a water bottle at a female member of the Coast Guard as she passed their encampment. the Coast Guard has warned their troops to avoid the ruckus.

That’s OK, because twenty years from now, they’ll deny it ever happened like they’ve done for their actions during the Vietnam protests.
Whether it was members of the Occupy Boston crowd or not, they have to admit that they’ve fostered an environment that encouraged this type of behavior.
Thanks to Old Trooper for the link.

Jonathan–and to you, big boy, I’d tell you to go eat a fat bag of dicks, but something tells me you do on a regular basis, and enjoy it.
Jonathan, they’re more courageous than me? how do you figure? Why because they did something they KNEW would gain them notoriety in certain circles, with little to no adverse consequences. I mean AT MOST they get pepper sprayed and a bullshit charge and spend MAYBE a day in jail, all to the cheering of a bunch of douches that hold them up so they can get a stamp of legitimacy?
No that’s not bravery. That is, at best, Narcissism. At worst it is a form of Nihilism. Either way what they have done is no way shape or form “brave”. Bravery implies some form of sacrifice.
Now if they had done the same thing to prevent a “race riot” from getting out of hand, or to prevent rioters from harming someone, THAT is brave.
Johnnie boy, you’re asking us to take you at your word that “I didn’t watch it on the media. I watched it taking place. YOU watch what is happening on the media. The videos I’m talking about were taken on cell phones and by local media that does not reach people outside of Boston, except on the internet”. Really? If this was a story, you don’t think that Brian Williams at NBC wouldn’t run with it, you don’t think that Fat Eddie Schultz, or Rachel Madcow from PMSNBC wouldn’t be frothing at the mouth to get it on the air?
That tells me that even their editors may have seen this bullshit, and decided that it was just that, edited bullshit.
UpNorth, It is probably one of those situtions where the police where acting appropriately, but to a bunch of hippies they were beating up everyone. I remember a friend had a link to the “extreme violence of the nypd” which ammounted to the nypd exercising positive control with as little force as necessary. No tazers, no nightsticks, no hoses, no dogs, no tear gas… in fact I was a little disappointed…:D
Jason, more than likely, but I think that little Johnnie was referring to the video taken by “local media”, which translates to video shot by Flea Baggers, who only turn their cameras on when the police do something, then all the hippies fall down, scream, cry and rend their garments for the cameras.
I’d just like to see the NYPD, Boston PD and a few others use Clear Out.
Memo to all the OWS and other members of the great unwashed:
If anyone had any doubt that this so-called “protest” was nothing but theater, Sen Chuck-U Schumer says that they have a point, other than the one on top of their heads. I watched his little spiel, but I have yet to figure out what that point might be. As soon as I can decipher whatever it was that Chuck-U might have said, I’ll report back.
In the meantime, Takei was, and is right.
King in #96: “As for your whole bullshit notion about personal responsibility and abortion. I didn’t realize a baby was supposed to be a punishment for having sex drunk, having sex with a broken condom, or having sex in the heat of the moment without one. “Oh look at the filthy slut, she fucked that dude and now she doesn’t want to live with the consequences. Fucking whore.” You act like someone choosing to terminate a pregnancy that they do not want is acting like someone who flees the scene of an accident that they caused. Lesson learned though, don’t have sex because that could lead to a baby and it’s wrong to want to delay that until you’re older, have more money to raise a child, and are married to someone who’s going to stick around and help raise the tyke. But it’s ok to do it in the context of a rape, even though the life being destroyed is not the one who caused the rape and is just an innocent as the fetus of the loose slut. I thought we didn’t judge the son by the sins of the father? If innocence is your grounds for opposing abortion, then why is it ok to kill a rape fetus? Shouldn’t the mother carry the child to term and send it off for adoption?” Wow, re-read your first statement and I’ll answer your question with a question; do you think that unborn child should be punished for a drunken night of debauchery? (see, I can use as much hyperbole as you). Should abortion be used as a convenient method of birth control? Did I call anyone a slut? No, I didn’t, but thanks for putting words in my meaning that weren’t there. To be perfectly clear, so you don’t have anymore brain fart questions; listen up, scooter: I don’t approve of abortion, I think that there is already too much senseless death in this world and I find it incredibly hypocritical of those that would mourn the death of an innocent in war (which we should) and turn around… Read more »
I served in the Coast Guard and I do not believe this for one second. Perhaps this has something to do with the Coast Guard working to protect the 1%. This is what my shipmate (out of Coast Guard Boston) wrote:
http://panayiotabertzikis.wordpress.com/2011/10/17/coast-guard-claims-abuse-by-activists-at-occupy-boston/
I do not agree with her in that she is supporting the victim just because they are serving together but the so-called victim has been said to not be the most creditable.
Kate: How is the Coast Guard working to protect the 1%?
The Coast Guard has publicly stated that they are working for and following the rules made out by corporate America. I didn’t enlist in the COast Guard to serve the 1%. I enlisted in the Coast Guard to serve ALL Americans and follow the orders put out by the Commander in Chief (regardless of what I think of him personally).
Ok, I was just wondering. Can you tell me what rules the Coast Guard are following that were made by corporate America? This is not meant to be a smartass question, I’m just interested in your opinion and where it is derived from.
This is just one of many times that the Coast Guard says that they are working by following the rules of Corporate America: http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=6496749n
I served during Katrina and we had our own issues there as well.
Thanks for the link, Kate, I wasn’t aware of that story. I would have to agree with you that it seems there are instances where the CG is forgetting their mission and who they work for.
