"People in this Country are being pepper-sprayed, beaten with batons, and arrested for doing nothing but exercising their First Amendment rights."
Actually, no. The Occupy freaks are being pepper- sprayed, beaten and arrested for illegal assembly, trespassing, vandalism of public and private property, theft, drug use, drug dealing, public urination, public defecation, public masturbation, indecent exposure, lewd conduct, disorderly conduct, assaulting police officers, assaulting each other, assaulting random civilians, raping women, pimping out underaged children, and a whole laundry list of other quite valid charges.
You see one of these stupid, pretentious threads every day or so on DU, you can pretty much predict exactly what's going to be said on it.
