The Occupods and other Socialist losers ran around yesterday telling us all to "strike" today and not work, go to school or shop.
Well even if I supported their cause (which I don't, whatever it is), I fail to see how making myself poorer and dumber for a day would help it. So I did what any good American would do instead: I worked an extra job and put some overtime cash in my pocket, and I spent some of it on a nifty pre-owned Sig P229.Not only did I do the opposite of what the loser-class wanted me to do, I also got something that might well come in handy if they keep getting aggressive and attacking the rest of us, like the five Occupy anarchists in Cleveland just tried to do. Keep it up, Occupiers...you'll all go the way of the Carrier Pigeon and the Dodo Bird if you try to declare war on those of us who love this country.
But back to my new Sig...
I really had to get one of these if for no other reason than to keep a promise.
Several months ago, I found a seller who had some of these for sale at a pretty good price. I immediately called up Aaron at The Shekel and told him about these Sigs. "Come on, Aaron," I enticed. You know that you want one. If you buy one, I'll buy one. What do you say?"
Naturally, in response to my arm-twisting, he bought one. Now I had intended to buy one too (honest!), but as I was going back on line to do so, I found this Trapdoor Springfield being offered by another seller, and...well you know how that sort of thing goes. By the time I went back to get one of the Sigs, they were sold out. Meanwhile, Aaron was inviting me to get with him for some shooting. "And when you come, bring your new Sig!"
Uh, yeah. About that...
I'd always kinda felt like Lucy tricking Charlie Brown into taking a run at the football for talking him into buying his Sig and then not buying one myself. But now I got one like I said that I would, and that's a load off of my conscience, let me tell you!
And come the day, I can probably pacify more rampaging Occupiers with it than I could with the Trapdoor Springfield, too.
Next purchase: a .357 Sig conversion barrel for it, so I can make use of all of the .357 Sig brass that I've scrounged up off of the range!

Advertising fail--Powerade teams up with Occupy DC.
You see them all the time downtown Washington DC and in other cities: promotional trucks that drive around giving out free samples, often with photographers aboard to get promo pictures of "everyday people" enjoying the product.
Well on Sunday, I saw one of these trucks pull up next to McPherson Square in downtown DC as I was going into a nice restaurant adjacent to that park. That park is currently infested with an Occupy DC encampment, which is still there despite the rumors of it's removal by the Park Service. Now it's just a couple dozen "symbolic" tents--many of which are half collapsed or filed with junk--and it's population is a dozen or so homeless bums and suburban white kids who pretend to be homeless as they type on laptops and talk on smartphones that I'm sure were provided by their over-indulgent suburban white parents.
This truck pulled up and the two who were in it popped the back doors and rolled out a big cooler tub, which they pulled into the park. It turned out that they were giving away free samples of Powerade, the Coca-Cola product intended to be a knock-off of Gatorade. Sure enough, the two began handing out bottles to the Occupods and taking their pictures as they drank it.
Well I suppose that's the whole point of these promo trucks--to put their product into the hands of people likely to go out and buy more. Still, had it been my business, I'd want the stuff distributed down on the Mall or the waterfront where real job-having productive people and their families are probably just as thirsty.
But then as I shrugged and began to walk away, I heard the woman who was one of the pair from the truck exclaim: "Powerade supports the Occupy movement!" I then heard her say: "Let's just give them the rest of it and we can call it a day." At this point, as I watched, this woman and her driver went back to their truck with several Occupods in tow and began handing them cases of the beverage. They handed out so many cases that the Occupods were taking the cases into the park, setting them down, and going back for more cases. They had to have handed over a couple of hundred bucks worth of product to this dozen or so slackers before driving off.
If those two in the truck were actual employees of Coca-Cola or Powerade, their support of the Occupods just cost them my business forever. I'll be damned if I ever buy another bottle of that swill. If, by chance, they merely paid another company to promote them, well then they got ripped off when that company's employees just unloaded a large percentage of their promotional load at one spot, giving it all to one small group instead of spending the afternoon passing it out like they were undoubtedly supposed to do. Not knowing which was the actual answer, I sent an e-mail to Powerade Sunday night asking them about this, but they haven't bothered to reply so I'll just post what I saw here and let the public draw their own conclusions. Is Powerade really the supporter and sponsor of losers and layabouts, of drug-users and assorted petty criminals? Because that's the message that they send when their spokespeople do what I saw them do on Sunday night. I mean, Geeze, Powerade, why not just toss the stuff over a prison fence or hand it out to the people at a welfare office or homeless shelter? What's that? That's not your target audience? Well then you might want to steer clear of Occupy camps too then, because the demographic is pretty much the same.
Oh, and sure enough, not an hour later, the Occupods had a table set up on K Street trying to sell the excess Powerade that they'd just been given for free.
Comments, Powerade people? You respond and I'll post.

Portrait of an "Occupy" member

Here is a OWS Dude. He's the guy on the street with the nose rings, the dreadlocks and the lice.
He's the guy in Starbucks making coffee because it's the only job he can get with his degree in Art History.He doesn't always have money for rent or food but he always has money for weed. He rents a dingy studio apartment with a window on the sidewalk level. Bums sleep on his steps and pee on his sidewalk window. He doesn't seem to care. He doesn't even notice the smell.
He's the guy that rides a bicycle everywhere he goes because he can't afford a car. He has to keep replacing the bicycle because people like him keep stealing it.
He has no mechanical skills. He has no administrative skills. He has no trade. He is a vegan, too weak from malnutrition to work at any kind of physical labor job; not that he would take one anyway as that kind of work is beneath him.He despises the military and law enforcement. He has an upside down American flag taped to his sidewalk window... right next to his marijuana flag.
He hangs out with other leftwing losers who blame their innumerable failures in life on people they've never met and know nothing about.He's always borrowing money from someone but never pays them back. He gives them some weed instead.
He's never contributed time or money to any civic project yet he constantly criticizes his community.He fully immerses himself in anything leftwing. The more these leftwing organizations bash America, the more rabid he becomes. Despite his leftist fervor, he is always on the outside looking in. He's a loser and even the leftwing losers that tolerate him think he's a loser. He's never been able to become part of their leftist clique, no matter how much he bashes America.
When he gets old and is unable to support himself he will turn to welfare. He is a parasite. When his life is over he will have contributed nothing but hatred and bigotry to the world. He will be buried in a state owned lot at the taxpayers expense. Maybe one or two of his dealers or customers will stop by for the funeral service. So long OWS bum.

More Occupy DC
I happened to have business downtown Washington DC again today and that business took me near Freedom Plaza, home (temporary, I hope) of one of the two Occupy camps in the city. I talked to some of the Occupods and found out that the group is actually run by two leaders, and they are Margaret Flowers, a pediatrician who quit her practice to lobby for Obamacare prior to landing this gig, and Kevin Zeese, an attorney who also quit his practice to be a full-time leftist activist. (Google either of them and you'll get a ton of hits linking to stories about them doing this and other stuff. They aren't amateurs by any stretch.)
Now I'm not sure what it pays to be the front people and leaders for an Occupy camp, but if it can draw an MD and a lawyer away from their practices, it's gotta be paying pretty good. Question is, who is paying them, and what are they being paid to accomplish?And isn't this the definition of an astro-turf movement? (That means that it's a fake grass-roots movement, for any liberals who happen by this blog.)
Anyway, there wasn't too much going on other than this fat bastard walking around wearing my country's flag as a scarf.
I could be persuaded that flag-burning is a good thing in this case, so long as Bubba here is still wearing it when we apply the gasoline and a match. Take a good look at him, folks...he's the face of the Occupy movement.
They were also singing a song, accompanied by a guitar player. I couldn't hear it all, but it was about how much better the country would be without the 1% that they all hate so much. Now I would have loved to ask them who is supposed to pay all the taxes if the 1% ever went away, seeing as how that top one percent paid 36.7% of federal taxes in 2009. I doubt that anyone here would be willing or able to pick up the slack since they were all sitting around aimlessly during the middle of a business day. IN fact, when I was first walking by, I saw and heard one of their number going from tent to tent, loudly shouting that they had to wake up and report to General Assembly. I looked at my watch and it was 9AM. The sun had been up for almost three hours and most of the eastern time zone is already at work yet these alleged grown men and women need someone to come by and tell them to get out of bed. It's no wonder that they're all unemployed. These folks would still be unemployed if the unemployment rate was cut to 0.05%, and for the simple reason that they don't want to put the effort in to find and hold a job! That's why I don't understand them claiming to be upset about so much of our tax money being "given to corporations by congress". (Not by Obama though. He's still their guy.)
How can they be upset about any distribution of tax dollars when they don't work or pay taxes? It's not even their money that's supposedly being given away, just like its not their money that's paying for the extra police to watch them and to repair the damage that they've done to our public parks. You and I pay for all that stuff while these fools sit in their own filth and curse us for not forking over even more of our money to their pet causes-causes that even they don't work to support!
Screw these losers. I want an airstrike on these parks and I want them yesterday. Hit them with napalm, hit them with soap, hit them with job applications...whatever it takes to drive them off our land and out of our country since they seem to find so much fault with it.

My visit to Occupy DC
I had today off, and as luck would have it, personal business took me downtown Washington DC close to Freedom Plaza where one of the two Occupy Wall Street / Occupy DC groups is infesting a park. So I wandered around a bit and took a few pictures, just so that everyone could see how these animals really live.
Notice how empty it is? Very few occupods around. Interestingly enough, the ones that were there told me that most of the rest of them move into hotel rooms when the weather gets cold like it did last night. There aren't any cheap hotels near here. Wonder who pays for these, eh?
And they obviously aren't over-spending on trash removal. Just look what they've done to this formerly beautiful park.
All the bare ground you see used to be nice, neat grass. It's ruined.
I did see one young girl walking around here and she was pretty cute, but every time I got within ten feet of her, the smell of her B.O. was a real turn-off.
Oh, and rats. I saw three of them scurrying around just during my brief visit. They're apparently thriving in this unsanitary mess.

What a disgusting mess.
As I was coming back, I saw the most amazing thing. A truck pulled up and guys in matching jackets opened up the trailer and began handing food and cases of water to the Occupods. I wandered close and saw that it was a trailer from the United Mine Workers. Obviously this labor union is subsidizing these bums big time. One of the occupods standing with me told me that they come by "every day or two" to hand out supplies. What's that all about, and why?
I heard one of the guys in the UMW jackets yell out "Merry Christmas from Cecil Roberts!" as he was taking CAKES from the pick-up truck and handing those to the occupods, including stinky girl. If I was a miner, I'd be pissed as hell to see my dues going to support a bunch of non-working maggots, especially ones working to carry the water for Barack Obama, a President who said that bankrupting the coal industry was one of his priorities.
Here's the truck that was pulling the trailer. And it's license plate.

Residents of Washington, DC should be pissed at the United Mine Workers, too. This used to be such a nice park. Look at it now.
That grass and those shrubs won't just grow back when these cockroaches roll out.
Maybe the unions will pay for the damage?
Oh--and the worst part is that the other bunch in McPherson Square is much, much messier and more disgusting. I'll try to get those pictures in the near future.

Another military poser emerges as police finally take action against Washington DC Occupods
Well the police finally did something about the dirtbags infesting Washington DC as part of the so-called Occupy DC movement when these so-called "protesters" suddenly slapped together a building on the public park grass and refused to take it down despite numerous police orders to do just that. 31 of these scumbags were arrested and hauled off, although most of them apparently returned to the park as soon as they were released from processing.
But the notable part of the story is that they really did construct and build this in just a few hours because they didn't want to be out in the cold of the coming winter. It's amazing how industrious these spoiled white kids can be when they want comfort, isn't it? Just imagine if they'd put that same energy into getting a job or doing some work for any one of a number of charitable organizations.
But another aspect of this story is worthy of note, too. They keep referring to the one "protester", Michael Patterson, age 21, as a veteran and holding him up as their icon and the face of their group. Now we all know that the goal there is to use his alleged status as a veteran to give the group as a whole some credibility, ("Hey look! We got VETERANS here! Everybody loves veterans and puppies, right?") but the truth is that Patterson is not an honorably discharged vet. A bit of research shows that he was a failure who could not hack the military even in a real echelon slot, and he was booted from the Army for smoking pot after unsuccessfully attempting to get an early discharge. So he didn't honorably do his duty and earn our respect like his unwashed peers would claim. And his Other Than Honorable Discharge is probably why he's claiming to be homeless (while jetting to Washington DC from his home in Alaska) instead of using the GI benefits that every honorably discharged vet is entitled to and finding a job or going to school.
Like Scott Olson, the Occupod injured in Oakland by something hurled by one of his fellow protesters as they threw rocks and bottles at police, this guy was nothing but a loser who could not hack it in the service and probably couldn't even have done so in the peacetime military. But now he and his group want him to have the honors due those who did serve and who continue to serve, and they want to apply those honors to the "Occupy" movement by extension. This cannot be allowed so the truth has to be told about them when they try this.

Obama identifies (again) with OWS brats
Awwww, isn't that cute? Obama tries to speak in New Hampshire and a few of the spoiled brats comprising the Occupy Wall Street movement begin to heckle him. So what does he do? He kisses their asses and claims that they are the reason that he ran for office in the first place.
(As if we all don't already know that "to gain the power necessary to ruin this country's capitalistic system, destroy any semblance of freedom for the individual and impose a socialist form of government with me and my cronies in charge forever" isn't really what he would have said if he was being honest.)
So Obama still loves these deliberately-unemployed, totally non-hygenic and absolutely useless people who currently comprise the largest criminal enterprise in America. No surprise there. My only hope is that the voters remember this next year and we give him his apparent wish by making sure that come January 13th, 2013, he has nothing better to do than sit around in some park all day.

Opining on OWS
I think that one of the issues here is one of perception. The "Occupy" crowd sees themselves as reincarnations of our Founding Fathers, only with Che and Mao T-shirts on, but most of the rest of us see them as the cast of "Lord of the Flies", especially after reading daily about reports of how their camps have degenerated into feces-covered open-air drug dens where female "Occupyees" have to band together in guarded tents lest they be raped by their male comrades. For decades, these marxist wanna-be's have told us all about how their ideas would create a utopia for all, and now in about a month, they've proven that left to themselves, all that they can create is chaos, crime, dependency and disorder.
Now I think that they've proved our point and it's time for the adults to take control of these parks again by sending in the police and the heavy-duty sanitation teams. Let's seriously crack the heads of any who insist of continuing to defy law and order and seize the bank accounts and any other assets of these groups and involved individuals to pay back the taxpayers for all of the monies spent on babysitting these overgrown kids and cleaning up after them....and if that doesn't cover the tab, let's start identifying their parents and putting them in collection. Maybe the next time, they'll think twice about raising such pathetic kids and turning them loose on the rest of us.
Your thoughts?

The future of America
Again, we're back to the "we are the future" claims from today's youth...and I fear for my country if it's really so.
Today's example: Molly Katchpole, a girl living in Washington DC who used student loans to get as useless degree and who now wonders why she can't find work and frets that she has to actually pay that money back with interest.
Now if Molly were some sort of aberration, that might be ok. We could shrug her off as an example of social darwinism in action and leave her to a future that consists mainly of working in some food co-op or thrift store and going home at night to an apartment full of cats. But there are a lot of other Mollys out there today (see "Occupy Wall Street") and most of them expect that they should be forgiven their debts, given free houses just because they want them, and otherwise coddled by a society that takes the money required to support them all from you and I, by force if necessary. One of the biggest problems today is that we've raised a generation of Free Riders and given each one the power of the vote, allowing them to choose a government model which will perpetuate and support their own willful dependency while sticking the rest of us with the bill. So where does it stop? Do we become Italy or Greece? Or do the Productive Ones all walk off one day ala Ayn Rand and just let the Mollys all fend for themselves for a winter or two, after which, there'll likely be precious few Mollys left because that kind lacks the skills and the motivation to survive on their own.
And what happened in America that we went from being a nation of achievers, a country run by the people who built bridges, skyscrapers and transnational businesses, to a nation of Mollys who sit around with their mouths open and their hands out, demanding that you and I just pay all of their bills? Frankly, I doubt that the men and women who made America into the only real world power in the 1950's and 60's would have tolerated all of these OWS brats that infest many of our cities today. I'm thinking that they or the police would have been in there with sticks and hoses and even buckets of soap, wire brushes and shears, and every single dirty hippie that they could catch would leave clean and groomed with instructions to have a job by the end of the week or else. They damned sure wouldn't have offered them all free rides at the college of their choice for as many years as it takes to get a degree in a field that's not hiring or doesn't even exist, the way that we do today.
Maybe we need to return to those good old days, those "pre-Molly" days. And if Molly and her peers don't want to apply themselves and become doctors and engineers, they can pick fruit or process fish or ride on the back of a garbage truck if they have to, because the rest of us shouldn't have to pay their bills or ignore their debts until they land their non-existent dream jobs.
Today's example: Molly Katchpole, a girl living in Washington DC who used student loans to get as useless degree and who now wonders why she can't find work and frets that she has to actually pay that money back with interest.
Starting in December, the art and architectural history major has to figure out a way to start paying off her student loans, which she says will require payments of at least $200 a month.I guess the whole concept of a loan went right over her head when she was filling out all of those application forms. But t be fair, maybe lenders should stop loaning out money for degrees like "art and architectural history", "philosophy", "ethnic culture" or "women's studies". Maybe if lenders weren't throwing money out to pay for degrees that will never put anyone into a real job with a salary that allows them to repay it, loans would be cheaper for serious students and colleges would not offer so many classes taught by useless but highly-paid "academics" who really do nothing but indoctrinate students into stupid ways of thinking. Case in point: Here's Molly. Her dad, Jim Katchpole, is a machinist and her mother, Kathy Katchpole, is a physical therapist’s assistant. So she apparently came from decent stock. Yet after a few years in college, she now sits around in a basement apartment with some shack-up guy, "surrounded by labor history and anarchy books" and is apparently only considering employment with left-wing "social change" groups. And she seems to honestly believe that she should not have to pay the loans that financed her tuition and paid her rent and grocery bills during those years she spent goofing around at school, at least not if it means forsaking her dream of working for SEIU or Planned Parenthood and having to get a real job. But even SEIU doesn't want a no-talent-having, non-skilled drone on their payroll...and that says a lot for a union that makes it's money organizing and representing no-talent-having, non-skilled drones.
“I don’t know what I am going to do!” said Katchpole, a freelance account manager at a political consulting firm called Winning Over Washington. (Its main client is the progressive group MoveOn.org.) “I am going to have to defer my loans. I have no idea. Why should I be expected to pay them off now? Why are colleges charging interest on that stuff? Give us a break. Really.”
Now if Molly were some sort of aberration, that might be ok. We could shrug her off as an example of social darwinism in action and leave her to a future that consists mainly of working in some food co-op or thrift store and going home at night to an apartment full of cats. But there are a lot of other Mollys out there today (see "Occupy Wall Street") and most of them expect that they should be forgiven their debts, given free houses just because they want them, and otherwise coddled by a society that takes the money required to support them all from you and I, by force if necessary. One of the biggest problems today is that we've raised a generation of Free Riders and given each one the power of the vote, allowing them to choose a government model which will perpetuate and support their own willful dependency while sticking the rest of us with the bill. So where does it stop? Do we become Italy or Greece? Or do the Productive Ones all walk off one day ala Ayn Rand and just let the Mollys all fend for themselves for a winter or two, after which, there'll likely be precious few Mollys left because that kind lacks the skills and the motivation to survive on their own.
And what happened in America that we went from being a nation of achievers, a country run by the people who built bridges, skyscrapers and transnational businesses, to a nation of Mollys who sit around with their mouths open and their hands out, demanding that you and I just pay all of their bills? Frankly, I doubt that the men and women who made America into the only real world power in the 1950's and 60's would have tolerated all of these OWS brats that infest many of our cities today. I'm thinking that they or the police would have been in there with sticks and hoses and even buckets of soap, wire brushes and shears, and every single dirty hippie that they could catch would leave clean and groomed with instructions to have a job by the end of the week or else. They damned sure wouldn't have offered them all free rides at the college of their choice for as many years as it takes to get a degree in a field that's not hiring or doesn't even exist, the way that we do today.
Maybe we need to return to those good old days, those "pre-Molly" days. And if Molly and her peers don't want to apply themselves and become doctors and engineers, they can pick fruit or process fish or ride on the back of a garbage truck if they have to, because the rest of us shouldn't have to pay their bills or ignore their debts until they land their non-existent dream jobs.

A tale of two stupid women (plus a boy and a Lexus).
Regarding the three pinheads hit by the car in Washington, DC yesterday, it turns out that they were, in fact, deliberately blocking traffic as part of their "protest", essentially claiming the right to deny everyone else the right to drive on the public roads. When a driver tried to pass through a break in their human-chain line, three protesters--two lesbians from Vandalia, Ohio named Brandy and Heidi Sippel and the thirteen-year old son of one of the women--ran and jumped in front of that car, according to witnesses. (Note that Brandy, a self-avowed "married" lesbian is also six months pregnant. How does that even happen? But yes, they're just like us, folks!) The car, which had the green light, was unable to stop and knocked Heidi and the boy down while merely brushing Brady with it's mirror. Naturally, all three demanded to be taken by ambulance to a local hospital (almost certainly at taxpayer expense) and they'll no doubt try to file a lawsuit and get some cash before this is over. Of course they were each also cited by the police for being in the roadway, so that should make their attempt to use the court to redistribute the driver's wealth to themselves a little harder.
As for me, I think that the DC prosecutors need to look seriously at bringing child endangerment charges against these women for hurling that 13-year old boy in front of a moving vehicle the way that they did. But then again, I guess that any of us would have done the same thing because these OWS losers are often described by their spokespeople to the media as being "just like the rest of us".
I think not.
Oh, and in case you were wondering if these women have any regrets, Bandy apparently posted a comment under the name "wow" on WJLA's news site where she said:
Frankly, if I thought that her kid was really the future, I'd be selling my bonds tomorrow.

OWS stoners. Not exactly physics majors, are they?
Famous last words: "Dude! Hold my bong while I jump in front of this moving car!"
Three DC Occu-tards injured while jumping in front of moving cars.
Some days, it just doesn't pay to crawl out of your Soros-donated Obamaville tent, does it, kiddies?
Heh.
Three DC Occu-tards injured while jumping in front of moving cars.
WASHINGTON (AP) - District of Columbia police said early Saturday that a driver will not be charged for striking three people taking part in an Occupy DC protest in downtown Washington.
Lt. Christopher Micciche of the D.C. police said the driver was not cited because he had a green light when his vehicle struck the three on Friday night.
He said witnesses told police that the three pedestrians "either ran toward or jumped in front of the moving vehicle." He said one pedestrian jumped on the hood of the car. One of them was cited for being in the roadway.
"The protesters were apparently trying to block the roadway," Micciche said. "It was essentially an accident where three individuals were injured but they were in violation by being in the roadway."
D.C. fire department spokesman Lon Walls said Saturday morning that the three were transported to two area hospitals with non-life-threatening injuries.
One protester, 29-year-old Jesse Folks of Riverdale, Md., told The Washington Post that he was standing in the street with other demonstrators near the convention center when the car "just gassed it into a bunch of people."
"We were in the street, but this guy didn't even give us a chance to get out of the way," Folks said.
Micciche said witnesses provided a different account.
"They probably thought the driver would either stop or be able to stop, but it didn't appear that was the case."
Some days, it just doesn't pay to crawl out of your Soros-donated Obamaville tent, does it, kiddies?
Heh.

The Left's new hero: Scott Olsen.
The leftist blogosphere and left-wing media is now all atwitter over Scott Olsen, a former Marine who served in Iraq before coming home, getting a good corporate job with a software firm, and--inexplicably--joining the unwashed hippie masses in the Oakland Obamaville tent city set up to "Occupy Oakland".
You see, the police were sent in to clear the park because these hippies were urinating and defecating all over it and the hippies decided that it would be way cool to resist, because laying around in your own or someone else's waste sends a message that you're angry because no one will give you a high-paying job. (Maybe it's just me, but would YOU hire some scumbag who came in reeking of BO and human waste to work in your office? I'm telling ya, there's a reason that these dirtbags are unemployed while the majority of the rest of us have decent jobs even in this Obama economy.)
Anyway, the hippies fought back with violence, as leftists always do. They pushed over barricades, they broke windows, they threw things...finally the police were forced to deploy gas and use a bit of muscle to get these cretins out of the park so that it could be cleaned and made sanitary for the rest of the citizens, especially the ones who actually do work and pay taxes. Somehow, in the melee that followed, Scott Olsen was hit in the head by something. The hippies claim that it was a tear gas canister that was fired "right at him", but I personally suspect that he caught a rock or other projectile hurled by one of his own confederates. In any event, scott Olsen is down for the count and the left now has a hero that they are wasting no time exploiting in media stories all around the globe. Ignoring the fact that Olsen was just another well-off white kid who worked for one of those "evil corporations", they seize on his service record as if to somehow make the claim that he's some sort of noble guy, and by extension, imply that they're all noble, too.
Nothing could be farther from the truth.
Firts off, while I applaud Scott's service to the country, it in no way cloaks him with any special status. He served his hitch and he got out, just as many others have done and will continue to do for as long as we have a military. If anything is noteworthy, it's the fact that his service makes him an almost unquantifiable minority among the suburban savages who are now dancing in his blood. Very, very few of these "Occupy" twits have served or ever will serve, because they're just not that kind of people. They're too lazy, pampered and self-obsessed to ever sign on the dotted line and become part of our military machine. (and then there's that whole haircut and bathing thing that the military insists on...) So he's a novelty to them, not a representative of their demographic. If anything, Olsen would have been more at home on the side of the decent American police officers who were there to deal with the mess that his friends were creating. Many police officers are former military because they, unlike Scott Olsen, wanted to continue to serve and protect their fellow Americans.
But Scott, like many others before him, made some bad decisions. He decided to go hang out among the great unwashed masses, he chose to become a law-enforcement problem instead of being part of the solution, and then he put his melon in the way of something heavy that was moving fast.
So cott got laid out, and the left is ecstatic now. They have a bona-fide "martyr" that they can put on display. Scott the person has no value to them and never did, but Scott the former Marine has plenty, and he will continue to have value right up until the media stops caring about him, at which time they'll abandon him, too.
Granted, if it had not been Scott, it would have been someone else. The left is all about creating sympathetic "victims" among their ranks for public consumptioin. This is why if you look at footage of their events, you will see the crowds peppered with people in wheelchairs and even little children. Those human beings were brought out specifically to gain public attention and sympathy, and if one gets hurt--like Scott Olsen did--so much the better! It's an old ploy that the left routinely engages in, and they'll keep doing it until everyone wises up and starts castigating them and punishing them for bringing their children to these events and placing them in front of trucks or between themselves and lines of police officers.
Scott, thanks for your service and sorry that you got hurt, but honestly, I'm surprised that your service time didn't teach you that stupid is supposed to hurt.
*************************************************************************************
UPDATE: I retract my thanks and any residual sympathy that I might have had for this loser. Ed Rasimus tipped me to the article on Gateway Pundit (Great job, Jim!) that shows that this loser runs an anti-military website and that he was obviously one of those loser malcontents who couldn't hack serving and lacked the class to just walk away gracefully when his obligation had been fulfilled. I have less respect for this punk than I do for a rat. If a rat ran out in front of my truck I would probably try to avoid crushing it. Scott Olsen...well I'd have to think about that for a few minutes but it would probably come down to expected sheet metal damage and the number of witnesses.
Olsen's clearly a cockroach and I hope that whatever hit him leaves some serious marks. If a police officer did inflict that injury to Olsen and they can identify that officer, I'm sending him a gift card for a nice dinner.

Dirty hippies are now "just like us"? I don't think so!
Well it’s starting.
Thehippies, dirtbags “protestors” who claim to be just like the rest of us (other than the fact that they don’t have and won’t take jobs and sit around for days in their own filth and feces, smoking dope and having sex with each other under tarps) are now showing us how they respect the laws “just like the rest of us do.”
In Boston, over 100 have been arrested for trying to set up a camp in a prohibited area and refusing to vacate it.
In New York City, hundreds more are defying the city and refusing to vacate a privately-owned park so that it can be cleaned of their own refuse and offal.
In Denver, hundreds more are refusing to leave a city park that closes at 11PM, and localscumbags “activists” who weren’t even part of the protest group are flocking into the park just to be part of any fight with the police that breaks out.
Yeah, just like you and me.
One unifying factor that defines theseshitbirds citizens no matter which liberal city that they are currently infesting is that they have no real message or agenda other than causing mayhem for it’s own sake. This it what the core of these groups are all about, in stark contrast to TEA party groups comprised of ordinary people who have jobs, mortgages and an actual message (stop spending our money). These losers have no real point or focus, which is why the powers-that-be, the puppeteers steering them (Soros and Obama, among others) have to supplement their ranks with paid union organizers, at least during daylight hours when people are paying attention to them. These loser kids can’t even be trusted to run their own protests by the people who are benefitting from their actions. (That would be Obama and every Democrat who worries about their failings being on the front page of the papers every day.)
So unless you are a drug-addled, no-job-having hippie who reeks of B.O. and just shows up places because other smelly hippies are already in those places smoking dope and defecating in public, these people are not like you at all. I know for sure that they’re not like me. You and I, we obey the rules and respect lawful authority. We also provide for ourselves instead of sitting around demanding that others be taxed to pay for their rent, student loans, health care and basic sustenance and that the municipal government agencies and local businesses give them toilets, food, shelter, and pretty much everything else that they want for free. As much as they like to paint themselves as being just like our nation's founders and the civil rights heroes, they're just the opposite. Those people fought for their freedom and independence and these kids are demanding to be more dependent, insisting on a bigger nanny state to run their lives at the expense of other people. Frankly I’m thinking that we’d do better as a nation if we simply rounded them up and shipped the whole lot of them off to North Korea in trade for a few hundred North Koreans who just want to come here and be free and productive.
