Occupy Indianapolis

[SirRealism]

A friend just forwarded information about an upcoming "Occupy Indianapolis". It looks as though it's scheduled for 10/8/11 at 12pm. This should be interesting:

...Or they could actually protest instead of disrupting commerce by getting in the way. I don't get behind the whole "you need a permit to protest" crap that seems to be favored, but I have no problem with clearing people out if they actually prevent access to a building.

What's the point, again?

I love the operate their businesses which have caused the current damage line.
I wonder if they know what the "New Deal" and " Great Society" did and continue to do to our society?

To show 'em the 99% is not going to take it from the 1% ANY LONGER... by making it hard for everyone else in the 99% to do their day-to-day ****.

I guess.

Yeah, I read through some of their Facebook stuff and blog. I don't really understand what it is they are wanting to accomplish except for maybe trying to feel like they are doing something to make a difference. Oh, I guess so they can tell their grandchildren that they were in the great "Occupy Indianapolis" event of 2011...

Cause the cost of goods and services to go up thereby increasing the power of the so-called 1%ers.

Where did they get this magical "99%" statistic, anyway?

Where do they get any of their "statistics"?

 

[henktermaat]

facepalm.

 

[eldirector]

Even after reading the webstuff, I don't see what "we" are protesting? The government? Corporations? Media? Everything? Nothing?

 

[CalebToNowhere]

If they protest everything, then they are ultimately protesting something...

We should all go down and protest "long, single file lines' walking through the city.

 

[SirRealism]

I think they're protesting snooty, star-bellied Sneetches.

Perhaps we should stand in a stationary position in the middle of their walking lines, with a couple of loud yippy dogs?

 

[SirRealism]

In keeping with my theme, I think a counter-protest long the lines of the south-going Zax would work quite well.

I just watched an interview with a couple of the toads from the Occupy Wall Street protesters. Basically they want BHO reelected and fix global warming and take all the money from the rich and give it to the poor. Does local law enforcement have access to a water cannon?

 

[GBuck]

I jsut want to follow them around and plow through their ranks at random places. What are they gonna do? Try to fight me? Sounds fun. lol

I'm going to wear a big long fake beard, smoke a fake cuban and scream government conspiracies at everyone involved. Even better, using completely improper grammar, yell at any newscasters that may be covering the event about how I setup the entire event and that we're all for seal 'clubbin.

well, its a too bad for them that I always walk into downtown business with my very bony elbows widely spread.
