Real eviction for fake Occupy Denver
You can tell that when Occupy Denver was finally evicted, it was a real eviction (not a pretend eviction to be immediately followed by them being allowed back in as happened with Occupy Oakland) because this time, no Kent State Moment, no highly dramatic confrontation footage, no gigantic hordes of police dressed in maximum menace gear. Seems that when you actually evict the Occupiers, you don’t need nearly as many police as when you pretend to evict them.  Two hundred …
Herman Cain charged with making a woman feel bad about herself
And if a woman says whatever it is that she is saying (not that anyone is telling us what she is saying) the man must be guilty, right?
épater la bourgeoisie
Occupy Wall Street is the rage of a privileged elite. Here are some images of the digs of some of those arrested.

He hurls it onto the ground, not at them, but right in front of himself. There is a huge spectacular whoosh as burning petrol sprays everywhere. They react only slightly. He runs away.
