OK, I cut out the irrelevant tripe and I'll focus on the pertinent points.
OK so with NO FACTS other than a story...you assume that the slimeball OWS maggot is innocent based on what? You consistent support for OWS (as evidence by our previous dances on this board).
the only defense you presents is: corrupt cops. You provide no evidence of corruption, you just assume that everyone agrees with you that da police are corrupt.
You do mention that 18-25 cops in NYC are under investigation. thats what 25 out of 150,000 cops?
My point is: You don't know the cops are corrupt in this case. YOU WANT THEM TO BE. Why? because you want the OWS to be innocent.
What you want is NOT news. Its your opinion. You need to set your preconceived opinions to one side. The facts may turn out that these cops are NOT corrupt and the hippie really did set fire to a residential complex.
In otgher words, I'm saying: "Grow up."
Speed of the arrest may be an indicator of many things: like eye witnesses. Video with the OWS perp's face clearly depicted. Or it could be that he was involved in other vandalism and the police were watching him.
again: grow up.
No. You don't. You always seek to justify what they do.
Be honest with yourself.
You immediate response is to scream corruption. In this story or others like it you have never given the police the benefit of the doubt. You're predictable. You will always claim corruption.
--Grow up.
Nope. wrong here too. Onlookers are impartial. Your mind was made up long before the events.
You are an advocate.
In short Vesta, open you mind and grow up.
Revolution has allways interested me as I come from a neck of the woods where we still have homes with their brick chimneys painted white with a stripe of black paint surrounding the top layers of brick.
So what you ask, well these homes that survived the Revolution era until today, the Chimney was a sign to the the Tory's that they were Conservatives and supported England.
Having family here at that time, poor river rats that at that time until the Rum Running days survived eating what ever they could fish out of the river I have interest in how they survived all the upheaval to come down to my grandchildren and our times.
It came close to curtains for the poor liberals in the depression, only Prohibition saved us living on the river. We river rats made so much money running booze that we could now afford inside toilets, electricity, we even could put the nag out to pasture and buy a car for transportation. Old Joe Kennedy and his boys were everywhere back then. The sea coasts Mafia at that time.
I worked at a Nursing home across the river in NH one year that was the original home of the last British Governor, Wentworth who was run out of town. The home down stairs is kept as a Museum, the same well preserved wall paper that caused a riot when the Governors wife bought it with the town footing the bill. damn good buy it still holds up.
The wood floors kept in beautiful condition all these years that today we can see the hoof marks of the horses people rode in on and a real hole mark above the fire place when the rabble fired shot and cap into the wall.
Upper floor of the home is where I worked the grave yard shift, lots of ghost story's about patients seeing strange people at night wearing capes and woman in long garments. The window the Governor and wife jumped out to head to the water front when the rascals invaded, the spot they jumped into a long row boat and headed for the islands off shore to catch a ride back to England.
Yup, I come from a long line of the very poor liberals to myself and end up a Conservative. So I keep an eye out on the present and investigate the past to find human nature does not change.
So, taking a leaf out of history from what has come about from our first rebellions to today is interesting to watch at my age, where will this if anywhere lead us????
I grew up as a child listening to the family discuss politics at the dining table, both sides and watched the food fights and complete closed mindedness of both sides, no one would admit to agreeing with the other on the most trivial points.
Much more today to discuss on all sides of any question regarding past and present history, could something, an idea or law possibly come back to haunt us from the past.
Note, the big problem in NC over the laws not that long ago enforced sterilisation of people with out their knowledge.
Note spell check for typos and missed keys is missing today, bare with me.
