Time to wrap up the show, lads


The Occupation isn't doing too well now.  They've been pushed out of Oakland by riot police, not to mention Portland where 50 of them were arrested (three for possession of explosives) and the Seattle branch scored a beautiful own-goal by attacking their own supporters.  Though, I think that the prize must go to Occupy Harvard where no one actually showed up except two policemen and a pair of photographers.

To cap it all, comic book artist Frank Miller has a message for the Occupiers:
Occupy’ is nothing but a pack of louts, thieves, and rapists, an unruly mob, fed by Woodstock-era nostalgia and putrid false righteousness. These clowns can do nothing but harm America. 
Wake up, pond scum. America is at war against a ruthless enemy. Maybe, between bouts of self-pity and all the other tasty tidbits of narcissism you’ve been served up in your sheltered, comfy little worlds, you’ve heard terms like al-Qaeda and Islamicism. And this enemy of mine — not of yours, apparently – must be getting a dark chuckle, if not an outright horselaugh – out of your vain, childish, self-destructive spectacle.
That would be a Down Twinkles.

Update:  Not just explosives, but explosives made into weapons banned by the Hague and Geneva conventions, which makes the Portland Three terrorists.

There are very few problems in the world which cannot be solved with a couple of marine corps divisions.

Just send in tanks and machine guns and there is no problem with the spoiled hippies anymore.

Oh, my. That-there's not Down-Twinklies. That-there's full-on Confrontational Jazz Hands, as seen in Zardoz. You know, where that one dude was declared a Renegade and wore wrinkly makeup on half his face for the rest of the movie. (Watching that movie drunk must not be anywhere close to watching it on something harder.)

I would note that not all cities tolerated these Occupists. New Haven, there was some kind of gathering, and then the police must have come out and informed the neckbeards to please disperse. The places where these Occupations were allowed to take place must have been the ones where the local governments were sympathetic. At least initially.

Down-Twinklies indeed.

Frank Miller goes around looking like a cross between Solomon Kane and Liver-Eatin' Johnson. The thing is, in his case appearances aren't deceiving. The guy really is in their class in the "tough" department. As opposed to other comic "celebrities" who are mainly legends in their own minds (COUGHToddHACCKMcFarlaneAHEMM).

However, the crux of the issue is that Miller is basically a libertarian (small "l" persuasion). If the OWSies had something to say that was worth listening to, he'd probably be telling them to go for it- as long as they kept it legal, were reasonably well-behaved, and remembered to bathe. You know, like the Tea Parties.

The fact that he's telling them to stop with the tantrums and go home tells you all you need to know about the OWSies. Who, as children, were very likely constantly told how "special" they were by parents who had a horror of actually spanking their precious little darlings. No matter what they did, or to whom.

Why not just machine-gun those bastards down and then execute summarily every tenth of the survivors. That'd do the bill.

Sergej said...

Anonymous. Enough with the shooting and the maiming. The Marines are busy killing bad people in other countries. What the Occupiers need is for their parents to come and administer a long overdue spanking. Or if they can't be bothered, maybe Singapore can send some of their police. I'd chip in for airfare.

Or are you merely a troll, and an Occupist yourself? In that case, maybe the Singaporean police should stop by your place along the way.

Sergej, aren't those hoodlums exactly the bad people who threaten the decent citizens and their property in US?

Most likely the parents of those lazybums are hippies and liberals themselves and they only encourage them to riot. What they need is seeing some of their companions brains spreading around as pink mist and their limbs blown to smithereens. Only then they'd understand that there is no freeriding in this life.

Why cannot they simply be rounded up and put to forced labour to understand the value of honest work?

Singapore is a good state. They know how to keep discipline. Not only caning, but also hanging.

In Singapore you get hung if they find drugs on your possession. One ounce of marijuana is enough to get you to noose.

I just wonder how many of those OWS white trash would be hung in Singapore?

I am seriously considering banning anonymous posts on these comments. if these foul trollings continue, I shall do so.

Submissions on this idea are welcome.

David;

Works for me.

There haven't been problems before, have there? If this troll goes away, I'd leave it open.
