Not so good news from Atlanta and Oakland where popo busted up the occupation with tear gas and swinging clubs. This in spite of the fact that no violent acts or threats of violence had come from the occupiers.
I’ll preface this next statement, because some on the MightMakesRight Wing don’t have very good reading skills, Tear Gas is sometimes lethal just as Nerve Gas(es) are not universally lethal, many people have died from tear gas and many people have survived being gassed with The Other.
It’s not a question of whether Tear Gas is lethal but a mere question of relative lethality. Much like the difference between being shot with a .38 special and being shot with a 12 gauge shotgun and that relative to being shot several times with a belt fed machine gun.
The Oakland PIGS, famous for hiring a white supremacist from the former Rhodesia who subsequently MURDERED an American Black Man, Oscar Grant, by shooting Mr Grant in the back while he was laying on the concrete…. Then let him get away with that murder through a deliberately botched investigation (Blue Wall)…
Stated that the Oakland Occupation was “a danger to the public” so they used poison gas on the CITIZENS involved in constitutionally protected free speech and freedom peaceably to assemble. And arrested 140 of the citizens for daring to criticize their Wall Street whoremasters.
Thus making sure that the only medical statements about the injuries suffered by the Citizens would come from the Jail Doctors, in other words: Their Fellow Pigs who can Always be counted on to join them in the Blue Wall.
“gassing their own citizens” is Officially the reason for which Saddam Hussein was hanged, with the full blessings and unofficially at the command of the American Corporate Government who had supplied the gas in the first place.
Unofficially his “crime” was not being Pinocchio to the Wall Street Government’s Gepetto.
The same reason Occupy is being attacked with lethal gas across America and in every country over which Wall Street claims ownership.
How DARE the puppets tear off their strings and declare themselves to be Real People!
