Democratic congressional candidate Ray Lutz was arrested for registering voters in San Diego's public Freedom Plaza (AKA Civic Center Plaza), where the local Occupy protest has taken place. The San Diego police arrested Mr Lutz for trespassing and confiscated his voter registration forms.
Whew, thank god that nightmare is over. Thanks, men in blue!Originally Posted by Eric T Cheng
In these turbulent times, we simply cannot have a motivated youth vote. Those people are far too young and inexperienced to understand the complexities involved in the machinations of government.

What's next for the Occupy groups? The 2012 Conventions.
Ann fucking Coulter, everyone.

"So at the moment anyway, I mean I don't know what's going to happen in New York today, but at the moment I'm not really worried of a movement like SDS which really swept a lot of the college campuses... taking over. Of course if it does, just remember the lesson from my book: it just took a few shootings at Kent State to shut that down for good."
"This is the first time they got bullets back... and that put an end to the protests pretty quickly."
Not sure if this was mentioned here, but this is such clear police idiocy that I can't help but pass it on.
As mentioned in the description, this resulted in a disturbance that ended with 8 arrests. The police originally tried to say it was that guy's fault.
I could be wrong but nothing about Kent State ended SDS or prevented groups like the Weathermen from popping up. She is such an ass anyway.
They finally pulled Ann Coulter out of that mine eh? (I assume that's where she's been)
If Ann Coulter didn't say stupid shit she wouldn't have a job.
Besides being a professional twat, what does she actually do, anyway? Is she employed anywhere, or does saying stupid shit on Fox really pay that well?
I actually saw a clip of her appearing on MSNBC the other day. She kept getting bleeped for saying "douchebag". Why would they bother having her on?
She writes books full of stupid shit.
Never underestimate the profit you can achieve by selling stupid to idiots.
Oh, yeah. I forgot she writes books. I imagine actually reading one would require a SAN check.

This article claims to have a list of hard requests by "occupiers". Why it didn't identify who/what/were I have no idea. From the SF Chronicle.
Or the guy who set up voter registration did so in a private area, and refused to leave when asked. Oh, and his letters after the arrest showed that he did it intentionally, knowing it was private property, to prove some sort of point. But no, that can't be why he was arrested; it must be because the police don't want OWS members to vote.
As mentioned in the comments, the guy was a security guard, not a police officer.
Right, a security guard wouldn't know anything about police stuf-WHAAAAAAAAAA!!!???
It's almost as if he was correcting Jibble and not whatever it is you're responding to.
As mentioned in the comments, the guy was a security guard, not a police officer.The video shows a Dallas Police Officer, who was working off-duty for Bank of America
Herp, I say unto thee, thy name is derp.
The video shows a Dallas Police Officer, who was working off-duty for Bank of America, push a demonstrator off a planter in front of the building. Chief David Brown has ordered the officer placed on restricted duty and initiated a formal investigation into the officer's actions. The restricted duty assignment will also prohibit the officer from working off-duty employment until the departmental investigation is complete.Andy didn't check far enough before responding.
Someone in this thread order some crow?
Just sign here, please. I just deliver 'em.
It's almost like you didn't click any links whatsoever!
Yes, I clicked on the links, and the guy was an off-duty police officer working as a security guard. But I guess saying, "This is such clear police idiocy" sounds more inflammatory than "This is such clear idiocy by an off-duty police officer working as a security guard who was immediately put on suspension by the police department." No, much better to imply that "the police" were behind the action.

Hey that's good! Just make sure the police officer is off duty and then he can do what he likes! You are a genius Andy!
Jesus are you serious?
No, he can't do what he likes...which is why he is on restricted duty and under investigation by his department. But again, saying "police department responds quickly and decisively to actions by off-duty police officer" isn't nearly as exciting as talking about "clear police idiocy."
Jesus you are serious.
They didn't exactly respond quickly and decisively. They blamed the kid for the incident until the video came out. They acted rashly and defensively, protective of their own, until such time that they clearly couldn't.
He wasn't, actually, and they tried to cover it up until videos started pouring out. Also, he gets back-pay for time on suspension after the investigation clears him of any wrongdoing.
So in other words, you have even the most basic facts wrong and still you continue to emit bullshit. Who's surprised? Nobody.
