I accept your point and agree with you very much. I remember reading that the bottom 25% of people in the UK are in the top 3% of the richest people in the world. So they should shut up complaining and Occupying shit!

I must find out where I read that and make sure I didn't make it up. :lol:

That really was something to see this Pike character simply pepper spray a bunch of people just sitting in a line. Quite unusual.

Why is everybody so upset about pepper spraying anyway? It is a pussy weapon compared to what they pulled on students at Kent State....


I've been following the Occupy bullshit on 'Reddit' which appears to be a website entirely full of smug sexless computer programmers, wannabe smug computer programmers, ADHD-riddled teenagers posing as nerds, because they own a few Harry potter DVDs and a games console that was issued before they were born, and angsty psuedo-intellectual teenagers. The common theme is they hate the police and any organised religion because naturally they are enlightened enough to need neither apparently. :?

Anyway, these guys get off on calling police brutality all the time. They openly goad the police into acts of violence. I would call it Rodney King principle, as Rodney King was stumbling around charging police men whilst high as balls but the camera man only filmed him getting a beat down from LAPD's finest.... Much like the ensuing LA riots, there are opportunistic scumbags everywhere.
