WTF!? Protestors lying in street have large tent placed over them and gassed(?)
Last edited Mon Dec 12, 2011, 06:10 PM USA/ET - Edit history (3)

#OccupyHouston: Watch this video from about 1:20 mark. Protestors are lieing in street arms linked and unmoving when a large tent is placed over them and gas canisters are placed in where the ground meets the tent wall. A fireman then comes over and opens the gas canister and after a few seconds removes it.

From the video it appears the protestors were gassed followed by police entering the tent and arresting them...

5. I've seen a couple of ppl on twitter say that the tanks were to inflate the tent...

I call BS. The tent was sturdy enough to be carried by firemen over their heads and placed on the ground.

Not to mention, WTF is the tent for anyway (i.e. what are they hiding?). Obviously something they didn't want the protest crowd to see.

Accomplices! All of them!

They shall be the next ones up against the wall!

10. Those people are liars. n/t

Yes, but I'm paid $0.50/post to do it.

All of a sudden, someone IDs the tank:

16. The tank was carried over attached to the tent

the firefighter removed it, It's a compressed air tank from a Scott SCBA Air-pak, more commonly seen on the back of a firefighter.

Don't ruin this for me!

20. But why would you need to inflate the tent?

The tent doesn't look particularly air tight, so would lose inflation pretty quickly.

But if one were to pump a noxious gas in there, well that's another story.

And why use the tent at all unless you are trying to hide something?

They even say "it's an inflatable structure, which is what that was for".

11. There's an article in LBN that says the protesters used pipes to chain themselves together -

the pipes were being cut with saws and the tent was put up to contain any sparks. 

What?

23. Yes, Houston (and Texas) is in the middle of an awful drought

Considering the wildfires that have already devastated areas of the state, preventing sparks from flying into the dry grass would be very important.

occupytheport WC Port Shut Down

Tent placed over prone protesters at #occupyhouston and then they were gassed. The blockade is hereby extended.

How's that going anyway?

14. Althought the tents seemed designed to frighten

and intimidate people,which is bad enough, it doesn't do the movement any good to exaggerate. It's pretty obvious from watching the video that nobody was gassed.

tents = frightening intimidation

Boy Scout jamborees must be 5 days of unadulterated hell.

And then...

...suddenly...

#d12 no gassing in Houston. We deeply apologize.

Does this mean the port blockade won't be extended?

25. At best they were hiding the actual arrest

At worst they were sedating the protestors?

How do you hide an arrest? Do the police carry the tent all the way down to the police station?

Just dreaming here but an O2 enriched environment and sparks sounds like a creative solution to the problem of chained together hippies. My opinion.

I was thinking more along the lines of the tent being used to delouse them before loading them in the paddy wagon.

One unintended result.
The tent deprived the loons of the one thing they cherish and crave the most.
Personal recognition and attention.

If I can get an address for tex-wyo-dem, I'd like to send him/her a jump to conclusions mat so the next time they fly off half cocked, they might reach a more reasonable conclusion to their paranoid delusions.

It can't be called a delusion is they want it to be true.

Liberals want to be persecuted to make excuses for their pointless lives. If they aren't oppressed they have no excuse for acting-out, but they want to act-out so they fabricate excuses.

Not 1940 take it back to 1932-34---- Had the Jews been armed then history  could have changed drastically.

Yes the sight of that tent to gas people did raise my hair and wonder why the police had such a thing.

This is not good, the people unless they are insane will begin to arm themselves.   Cannot blame them, when they protest peacefully and are met with force, pepper sprayed and gassed in tents, some of them are going to become very angry and the non violent will head to the other extreme.

We seem to be pushing the nonviolent into becoming the violent, for self preservation.   WTF  those who may become a pain in our ass but are peaceful can be become converted into what some call freedom fighters.

So protesters take a block or 2 of city property to damage and destroy for a few months, as long as they are nonviolent this is just a small page in history.  Sooner or later they will go away.

However when force is enacted against them, hard force then some will react in a violent way and gather like minds to protest in violent ways.   Excuse, we tried the non violent way only to be met with force', our own government attacked us, now we are armed and dangerous.

The government needs to tread carefully, people take over a park, allow them to stay, when it gets so filthy and horrid they will leave, even the homeless will not stay there.

Better to just leave these folk alone then turn them into urban terrorists.  They will leave when they get cold and hungry.

It is not lawful or peaceful to block public roads. The police aren't driving the OWieS to become violent, they're protecting the OWieS from the righteous ass-beatings honest working people ought to be giving them.

At times like this, I always think of the dumbshit hippie out west back in the 80s who decided to blockade a Diesel switcher moving cars in and out of a port engine.  Locomotives don't stop on a dime, and his legs were cut off.

Then I smile.

The idiot's name was Brian Willson and it was in 1987:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concord_Naval_Weapons_Station (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concord_Naval_Weapons_Station)

It was in California, of course, so the law enforcement response to the over-the-top actions of the protestors and the DOJ was ridiculously milquetoast.  According to Wiki, no criminal charges (It does note his protest was unlawful itself, which would have barred him from even suing at all in a more civilized state) but he did sue, however not to a decision, there was an out-of-court settlement.

I have a friend from Ghana who laughs at the law in the United States.  He says the law is more interested in protecting the criminal than it is in prosecuting the criminal.

Aha, so that is one of the reasons the world wants to move to America.  Seems to me this was the original reason in the 1600's that the world started to move here.  A fair shake from the law, no more presumed guilty, no taxaction without representation, the right to defend oneself with or without a lawyer.

Vagabond, your friend comes here and laughs at our laws, our Constitution and Bill of Rights----Sounds like he has the mind set of a Mexican drug dealer.

Curious now about why your friend left Ghana to come here, why not stay at home in Ghana if they feel more comfortable with the laws in their home country???

Please tell your friend our laws were set up to protect the innocent not to protect the criminal.   We presume all people are innocent of any charges, insure they have their day in court, we even supply the accused with free lawyers and give them the benefit of the doubt.

Get a backbone Vagabond, when non-Americans criticize and laugh at our laws, ask them where they would want to live if they had to leave America.   Spend some money and take them to Arlington Cemetery, if they laugh, cold cock the bastard.
