Just How Low Will Occupy Go?
2011-11-18
They were caught in the middle of madness.

Some grade school students were forced to walk a gauntlet of screaming "Occupy Wall Street" protesters just to get to school on Thursday.
So this is "Peaceful"?
It was a wild day in lower Manhattan for most everyone involved, including elementary school children who had to brave the mayhem just to get to class on the other side of Wall Street.

In the middle of thousands of protestors yelling and chanting -- some kicking and screaming -- CBS 2's Emily Smith found little school kids trying to get to class. Nervous parents led them through the barriers on Wall Street. The NYPD helped funnel the children, anything to ease their fears while some protestors chanted "follow those kids!"

"These guys are terrorists, yelling at little kids," one father said.
Not exactly terrorists, but acting like childre throwing a tantrum. They can't have everything just given to them. Despicable.
These children will grow up to trust the police and distrust protesters -- future conservatives in the making. Well done, OWS-ers!
"For them it's horrible. They're afraid of all the crowds. We're not even able to get through. They're just, he's ... very afraid now," a mother added.

One protester followed a father and his little daughter all the way down the block. As the school day ended just after 3 p.m. children trickled out of Leman Manhattan Prep on Broad Street. Smith heard a 4-year-old boy telling his mom he was scared. He told Smith it looked like a parade.
That's no longer a protester, it's called harrasment. Should be prosecuted.
"There was a parade. It was scary -- crowded with school," the boy said.

"After a while it got so bad some parents couldn't get their children through and they had to go late," said Gary Goldenstein of Tribeca.
And Nancy Pelosi and the rest of the Far Left Democrats approve.

#14  "Just How Low Will Occupy Go?"

Don't even bother to ask that question.

The Dems clowns backing them have a fleet of backhoes on retainer. >:-(

#11  re #8 ...an excuse to cancel the 2012 elections.

There is no provision anywhere in the Constitution for canceling elections. Since military officers take an oath to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution, Obama would be risking inward-pointing tanks surrounding the White House. I really doubt he would ever attempt it.

Far more likely is simply stealing the election through blatant fraud, which the MFM will happily ignore.

#8  I keep wondering if OWS "civil unrest" will be used as an excuse to cancel the 2012 elections. Paranoia or not?

#7  Donks, home of the new Klan/Red Guard. Night riders out to terrorize. "These guys are terrorists, yelling at little kids," one father said. Yes we can - OWS/OB.

#6  The last gasp of liberalism and Socialism. Everyone sees what they are really about. The question is can we survive the death throes.

#5  As long as funding is provided in this country and outside. Same thing with King. Anyone who wishes this country harm will send in the money. With so many out of work and the numbers look to increase this will not go away. Here till elections. This is the only way the media, Democrats and Unions can hope to win for themselves. The difference today is we have so many in power who think like occupy.

#2  I think that maybe the parents should exercise their 2nd amendment rights and begin Open Carry on the school escorts. or maybe even some super soakers now that it is getting a bit nippy out....
