Why no TEA arrests? ... sammysings
« on: November 01, 2011, 01:19:11 PM »
Primative asks why there aren't arrests at TEA events.
Some of the answers may surprise you, some of course, will not.

Why aren't there arrests at Tea Party events? 
 With all the turmoil at OWS events, i have to wonder why there aren't arrests or strong police action at Tea Party events. Most of these have guns on display and disgusting vitriol, anger, and border-line racism. Yet there is never any strong arm tactics from the police. 
Umm, no, sammy. Open carry at those events is extremely rare.

2. Teabagger "protests" aren't real events.
 They're staged by the uber rich. Therefore, no arrests.
We can thank Mikey (the land whale) Moore, for his support.

3. One reason is the fact that many do carry guns to TP events

6. For the obvious reasons
 Despite the rhetoric, they support the keeping government just the way it is. They support a police state. They are bankrolled by the people in power. Why would those same people want to shut them down?
In order.  No, no, and no again.
See, DUmmie.  You just don't don't know a thing.

21. Exactly!!! They are the ones that love the new fascist America and are the 'paid'
 tools of the system with the flow of big-money into teabagger events.
Nobody gets paid, DUmbass.

11. Teabaggers don't occupy places for days or weeks.
 It's just a bunch of old haters looking for something to do before they go home and watch O'Reilly.
Sorry, you drugged out hippy freak.
They're older folks tired of paying for you.

It goes on and on.

Agree.  By reading the thread it's easy to see the overall standard answers are the ones their leadership has told them to say.  Liberals are parrots.

No traffic disruptions.
No disruptive behavior.
No public defecation.
No public masturbation.
No thefts.
No assaults.
No rapes.

In short, no crimes committed means no arrests...yet, 0bama might decide to change that by EO.

 Good Lord.  They've had over 2 and a half years to study and know the TP, to learn what they're about.  They still don't know shit.  You would think that something that antagonized them so, would be scrutinized as to its true nature.  Now all they do is babble back to each other the same posts.  Isn't that a little boring, DUmmies?  Why not think for yourselves?  


Suicide watch:  Some people are saying "because it's only 5-15 people."  Upon which GreenStormCloud posts pictures of HUGE TP rallies.   :lmao:

42. Please see the pictures in my posts #35 & #37.
 Both of those are Tea Party rally with tens of thousands attending. It has become popular around he to deny the size of the Tea Party but they kicked our ass in the elections of 2010.

If we deny the truth, then we set ourselves up for further defeats. (:yahoo:)

There isn't trouble with the cops because their rallies are one-day events. The various OWS rallies haven't had trouble until they had been camped out for weeks.

Completely ignored.  It made the DUmmies look certifiably insane.

The only check I got was for $1000.00 signed by the Koch Brothers for attending a Tea Party event here in Dallas. It had a VRWC logo, is this what they're talking about or was their another one?

No, we want a smaller more limited government. You on the other hand want a larger government that can do everything for/to you. You want a police state, but you want to be in charge and make sure they only menace opposing thought. The TEA Party is more self organized than any leftist protest has ever been.  Look around and see which has buses bringing in people. Here's a hint, most of the buses are sponsored by unions.

Lots of projection by the DUmmies.

Well DUmmies, it's like this, if you don't throw bottles and rocks at the police, don't call them fascists pigs if they ask you not to block the street, and generally act like decent civilized human beings, you don't get arrested.

The Tea Party didn't occupy public places , they didn't shit and piss all over the place, they gathered together, said what was on their minds, then went back home to be productive citizens.

We didn't go straight home after the last one. We stayed and had lunch at one of the local restaurants and did a little shopping. We were going to help clean up afterwards but there was nothing to clean up.
