OWS Protester Murdered by Police in Seattle

[UnrepentantLiberal]

Since the Republican base considers a fetus a person, doesn't it follow that if sadistic cops are responsible for a female protester having a miscarriage that those cops are guilty of murder? Wouldn't you love to ask that question at the next Republican debate and watch them stumble over their Bullshit?

1. Nope. More than likely these nuts would blame the

mother to be for "endangering" the fetus by going to a protest.

4. That is precisely what they would do

6. someone on this list already has.

10. People on this board already have.

After all, why blame out of control authority figures when there's a woman handy right there?

[roguevalley]

11. exactly. :(

2. Remember they are hypocrites. If it was a Teabagger baby

can you imagine the outrage? They would lynch somebody.

They'll blame this woman. Heck, they may want to lynch her.

3. of course,' blame the woman'

is the bottom line

5. Do you really think they'd be that blunt about it?

I guess it's next to impossible to underestimate them.

7. The mother will almost certainly be arrested.

Law enforcement does this all the time in hopes of intimidating someone out of filing suit against them.

If I was her I would sue the city and the PD till they can't see straight any more.

8. There are a few people, even here, that blame the mother and

protect the cop with lame excuses. I never thought I would see a liberal site support PIGS! :eyes:

9. How loud will the sound be, of however million Republicans

simultaneously backpedaling on the concept of fetus as person?

12. Was she even pregnant?

When asked by KIRO FM about the police report, she denied remembering the incident. Then, Fox changed her story and said that the "police report must have been wrong,"

Fox's former foster mother, Lark Stebbins, told the Seattle Times Fox is a "compulsive liar" and a "wannabe drama queen."

13. Not to be questioned. "Cops bad". Remember that. It's the only proper

opinion here at DU.

If she said cops murdered her baby, then they obviously did. What about that is so hard to understand?

14. doesn't look like it - I thought her story was odd

Too many things that didn't make sense or were inconsistent.

I can't really be angry with her though... she seems like a really messed up kid. At this point I don't think she was a protester at all but a homeless person taking advantage of the living situation and food. Can't blame her for that either... if I were homeless I'd take advantage of the convenient living circumstances of the protests as well.

As for the pregnancy/miscarriage stories it seems like that's what she does to get out of trouble, gain sympathy to improve her circumstances, etc. It's rather sad that it seems like the whole pregnancy story and family going to take care of her and the nonexistent baby is what she'd like her life to be rather than what it is. Maybe even the whole pregnancy thing and keeping the nonexistent baby is how she would have liked things to have been for herself instead of in foster homes. Pretty much everything about her and all this is just sad.

15. And if she was never really pregnant? Then what?...nt
