Anyone else tired of the media attacking protesters based on one or two signs? Tired of hearing people chastise a movement that they have never interacted with? It happens to both the Occupy movement and the Tea Party movement.

In 1970 a woman cried out in grief over the body of a man killed by the Ohio National Guard. In 1972 a young girl ran down a street naked after being burned by napalm.

A new right-wing movement billing itself the 53% is arising in response to the "I Am The 99%" Occupy Wall Street protesters and accuses the OWS protesters of being "whiners."

(Not too surprising that he could decide WHEN laws are enforced.) The Chief of Police added: "This is a national movement which the City of Los Angeles wanted to accommodate. They have had fifty-six days to put forth messages in a public park, which by the way, no one else has been able to use."

Carnell, a veteran of the Boston PD and the managing editor for Pax Centurion, has penned a scathing op-ed in the latest issue of the official newspaper of the Boston Police Patrolmen’s Association.
