From OWS to O anything.
So the OWS was going to O a empty building.
OK... they were also planning on O the airport, O city hall and O the port.
My question - at what point is the use of tear gas, pepper spray, tasers, and batons justified?

Unless the get unruly and start destroying property none of the above is justified, unless they have repealed the First Amendment

That's just it, Rob. In some parts of the country it has turned very ugly. You have to follow it on the internet. The cable news networks are slanting it like crazy. Some white-washing, some making it out to be much worse. But no one is telling the truth.
Here in Va. We've had no problem with them. They're here, but relatively very mild. Cali........Not so good.

Yes but when the police turn up in riot gear everything looks like a riot. We really need to send many of our police forces to an anger management class.

Every cop I ever met at a TEA Party event just smiled at me. Maybe it's a Kansas thing, or maybe it's a not breaking the law or threatening them thing, who knows?

Interesting, just like Cali or San Fran nobody here is using OWS for the punks hitting downtown.
Not the local online East Bay Express:
1. Occupy Oakland protesters used a crowbar to break into City Hall on Saturday night and then vandalized the historic building after a demonstration turned into chaos, the Chron and Trib report.
Not the Oakland Tribune:
OAKLAND -- City leaders are preparing new strategies to strike back against Occupy Oakland, but law enforcement experts say there is little authorities can do to keep the movement from continuing with costly demonstrations.
Not even the San Francisco Chronicle:
[I][Occupy Oakland protesters split over violence/I]

http://www.eastbayexpress.com/92510/...ing-the-senate

Yep, they are not even from Oakland, they just show up to trash the place. I say trash them.

Oakland (aka the peoples republic of Oakland) is but a tiny part of the Occupy movement in California but gets a lot of press (Fox, CNN)
Why is it that I keep seeing Ca. as Cali? Cali is a bordertown in Mexico run by the Cartels. I think that I'll start calling Va.- Vagina and so on. Don't get me started on the eastern shore of Maryland either.

I'm not sure where I picked that up. Probably television. I know when I lived in San Diego nobody called it that. Hmmmmmmm.......
As far as the Va = Vagina thing, I have heard that. Actually, what i've heard is Virginia Beach called Vagina Beach, Vagina Bitch or even Vaginal Itch.
