1. What is going on in our country??? I just cannot believe this.. I'm 65 years old, and

all this reminds me of is the Civil Rights movement of the 1960's...... WHERE'S THE PROGRESS HERE ?????

[Fumesucker]

4. Now white kids get pepper sprayed and beaten too?

Oh wait, that happened in 1968..

You got me.. :shrug:

[Blue_In_AK]

5. I know.

It seems like just a continuous loop. We've been going in circles over the past decades instead of moving forward.

[Fire Walk With Me]

22. No. Trust me, we ARE moving forward. We are building something beautiful.

It may seem that things are getting worse, with more and more police violence, more and more defamation tactics and sheer subterfuge on the part of the police and those who control them, with greater and greater revelation of corporate, banking, and general wrong-doing, but I say to you that we are on the right path, we are going in the right direction, and that direction is one of washing our hands of the dirt we have tolerated for so very long. It is not increasing, we are merely awakening to it, and justly, to our desire to change the world to be rid of it in every form. This is right and true. It is for the good. Do not worry about the actions of the unjust for they shall be reviled more and more for their very actions, for their very intent. We are tired of them, we are done with them and their tactics and planning and undermining our voice and our freedom. Pay attention instead to what is right, to what beautiful things are being built among us, and through us. We are gathering to solve our problems because we are the best answer! Together we are unstoppable. We are far more powerful than we allow ourselves to believe. We are far more powerful than we have been told to allow ourselves to consider. Sleep, and submerge your ideas and strength, they tell us. No more! We can no longer ignore our difficulties, and find within ourselves the strength and determination to make things =better=. We see that our brothers and sisters are in need and we say "How can we help you?" We find ourselves in need and our brothers and sisters say "How can we help you?" How can we solve these problems together? It is happening and you are contributing even if you are even wondering about how to better the world. It is happening if you are part of the brilliance which are the #Occupy groups.

It is happening, and it is gorgeous. It is exhilarating.

Look to the posts of those who have attended the #Occupations and revel in their sense of wonder at something new and wonderful in the world, where each voice is heard as equally as any other, where each voice is welcomed and is =needed=. You are needed. You are wonderful. You have something to offer the world, no matter how small, no matter how you may feel about it. You are wanted, you are needed, it is here and it is waiting for you to step into its open arms, and it is Familiar. It is how life should be, it is how life will be, as we work for it. It has awakened and as such, will not return to slumber. We have tasted our voice, we have tasted our power, we have seen true Democracy is possible and the only direction from this point is to more of the same. Do not worry about those who interfere and even cause harm. They show us change is needed, and we naturally intensify our resolve to improve when we encounter such ugliness. It is a springboard and each and every time we have been attacked, whether directly or through witnessing it in print, in photographs, and in video, we move further and further into a better world. We are creating it right now and it is beautiful. It is natural. We want it, and it is happening.

Do we have concrete problems to solve? Yes. Note the Trend already occurring through this movement and know that we have already begun improving the world. Banks are frightened, politicians are frightened, the old structures are beginning to shake and sway under our influence. These problems are not as big as we have imagined them, for they are already responding directly to our group direction, to our will. Double our numbers and they will scream. Multiply us times ten and...it will be wonderful.

We are going in the right direction. Be happy, we are doing it!

24. I hope you're right, Firewalk

Of course, I have great hopes for this movement and have been an enthusiastic participant http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=439x2350793, but having come of age in the '60s, thinking that we were getting somewhere with all our protests and great ideas, it's kind of disheartening sometimes to see the same battles being waged over the same issues again and again.

And, of course, looking back over history, these battles have been going on for centuries. I guess it's just part of the human condition.

[tavalon]

27. You are so correct. Alas,

I'm not as good a person as every one of those UC Davis students. I'm spreading that pig's name all over.

Human mic check is the most awesome thing I've ever encountered. While the beginning of the video was so horrifying, it was the end that just enthralled me.

[piratefish08]

2. some people work so hard for internet fame, and this lucky guy falls right into it!

enjoy your 15 minutes you fucking pig.


the intertubes are unforgiving.

[markpkessinger]

18. That would be internet infamy n/t

[Liberal_in_LA]

15. This mofucka lives in an apt complex and he acts as a gate keeper

for the 1%? Where has his pea brain gone?

[Bluenorthwest]

12. Pike is why the police got dubbed 'the Pigs'

although clearly this cowardly fascist fuck is more of a chicken than a swine. His body language is so casual, he is strolling and enjoying what he is doing, the sick, Un-American twerp deserves international scorn.

[Hutzpa]

13. check.

love the stay classy image. Can you imagine waking up one day and every thing around you seem
to have fallen apart?

[Tom Ripley]

14. PIG

[darth marth]

16. he is just a symptom of some serious systemic problems here

I like this picture because I believe now is the time to convince the rest of the republicans on the fence....are you really going to go with the fascists?

[cyberpj]

25. He looks like he could be singing, "...I was strolling through the park one day..." nt

[DURHAM D]

17. As we used to say back in the 60s when witnessing a Pig behave in that way -

The only thing that would possibly make him happier is if he could wear his penis on the outside.

[Donnachaidh]

19. he'd have to find it first, wouldn't he?

He's not exactly a swimsuit model. And his donut diet seems to have settled in his middle area. :shrug:

[DURHAM D]

20. He would -

but as you know that is not how that dick sees himself.

[JNelson6563]

23. Epic fail.

What an aswipe.

[cyglet]

26. Yes, they really look trapped

Poor, defenseless cops. :eyes:

I'm not sure who's responsible for militarizing the police, but even the military doesn't act this way.

I reckon 9/11 didn't help at all...

28. I'm so facebooking that....
