Pillars of Geph wrotenoodles wroteSo the protesters deserved to be pepper sprayed because their beliefs are a challenge to authority? wtf dude.Occupy Victoria got kicked out and now there's a skating rink and Christmas lights there haha.
I said that they are challenging the 'authority' of the cops, and this will not end well for them- nowhere in my post did I give moral legitimacy to the police.
Challenging authority means authority can do whatever the fuck it wants to you? They are calling for a change in the political system which on all accounts is pretty fucking vague. The Tea Party, however, used to rant about how Obama was an illegitimate president with the birther bullshit and used to have signs saying shit like "I'd use my gun before the govt took it away". Where were the police then? That shit is blatantly more anti-authority against both the govt and the pres when compared to Occupy who is simply asking for a dialogue and calling for more popular participation in politics, shit that the founding fathers asked for. Oh my god, I just cited the Founding Fathers now nobody can argue against it amirite?
Edit: Oh, shit, that's Steve? I got baited.
