Is it possible for OWS and others to hire Black Water/Xe to protect them from the riot police???
Edited on Tue Nov-15-11 11:57 PM by Devil_Fish
Just a thought...
I would love to see a line of Black Water/Xe security forces facing the riot police, and a bunch of peaceful protesters un-molested and safe. Hey, if it's good for the goose....

1. while i love the concept... Updated at 5:49 PM
Blackwater/Xe already *has* a contract WITH the govt...so they are probably already on site.

4. There might be others out there though that would do the job, but who is going to
pay for this protection?

10. Fund drive?
I'd rather give it to OWS than to Obama!

19. What sites.... At least OWS and OOakland. (thats right Oakland, You're ****ed Up!)
Not the bulk of the people in Oakland mind you, just the ass hole Mayor, and her goon squad + the NIMBY ass holes.

11. If it's big enough.
Hell, what if it EMPLOYED former police officers? Then it could go full on vigilante and the police could stand up to Bloomberg. As it is, he rules over them with an iron fist, their families' fortunes resting on his whims.
Still working that delusion that the cops are really on their side.

18. Hey, the 99% has nothing to lose anyway so it is something to think about.

The only problem is the number of sites that would need to be protected. But let me say something else, if the retired vets. were into this, it just might get really hot.
Our coming home vets (from at least vietnam and onward) have been treated like crap. Many of them have nothing to lose either.

26. I gotta rec this just for thinking outside the box.
The mental image alone is awesome.
There's thinking outside the box, and then there's thinking outside the known Universe. Even Charles Manson would say, "That's one crazy sumbitch!"
