This is what democracy looks like.

(KSDK)

Cops issued curfew violation citations to the commie riff-raff camped out at Kiener Plaza yesterday. Most of the young degenerates went home after the cops warned them about their illegal squatting
KSDK reported:

St. Louis Police Officers issued an undisclosed number of curfew violation summons overnight after participants of a protest at Kiener Plaza would not leave.

Several dozen protesters took part in the Occupy St. Louis protest late Tuesday into Wednesday morning in an effort to express their displeasure over a variety of issues including the wilting economy and corporate greed.

No official arrests were reported by police, and the summons issued for the curfew violations are similar to getting a parking ticket and other relatively minor citation.

Bummer. We’re going to miss the insane videos.

  1. That looks incredible. I am seriously impressed right now …

  2. Dear Gate Factory,
    You’re “seriously impressed” with “several dozen protestors” standing around? Wow, I don’t have the words.

  3. It appears that these protestors don’t have a clear message. I somewhat sympathize with those that accuse the government and private companies of corporatism – which is true. Large corporations such as GM, and banks should never have gotten a bailout via the stimulus or TARP. The guy in the photo that targets the Federal Reserve also has a very good point.

    However, I have no love for college kids that whine about having student debt, or having to pay back loans they’ve taken out.

  5. How can YOU report anything COMPLETELY based on a lie I do not know!
    HERE is what really is happening!

    ST. LOUIS (KMOX) – An around-the-clock occupation of Kiener Plaza continues, despite the threat of police intervention.

    For the second night in a row, protesters were told by St. Louis police to pack up their tents and signs and leave the public square by 10 p.m. or face summons and possible arrest.

    They didn’t leave and the police didn’t intervene.

    “We’re technically past curfew now,” activist Kyle Prindiville said. “We’ve been past curfew each night for three consecutive nights in this occupation, and will be continue to be past curfew every single night, indefinitely.”

    He speculated that officers were possibly tied up with security for the Presidential visit or were afraid of making a scene with visitors downtown for the National League Division Series at Busch Stadium.

    Prindiville said it’s also possible that officers might just identify with the group’s message.

    “They live in an economy now where both the husband and the wife and everybody has to work. We used to live in a society where only one person needed to be the wage earner,” Prindiville said.

    The group is modeled after the Occupy Wall Street protests, claiming to represent “the other 99 percent” of American citizens, against corporatism and the nation’s political climate.

    SEARCH for the truths people, Do not believe what this website is trying to sell as truth. This website is very deceiving to the public and is reporting lies as truth.

  6. For those of you outside of St. Louis, Kiener Plaza is a part of a small park in downtown near Busch Stadium, and it’s about a block away from the Old Courthouse, that’s where the Dred Scott case was held. It’s a nice, clean, well kept area.

    It wouldn’t be nice, clean, or well kept if these bums were allowed to free load there with there minor league protest.

  7. These protesters are about as much ‘commies’ as Jim Hoft is a fascist.

  8. Greetings:

    I live in the San Francisco Bay area, a couple of soviets south of what the locals mistakenly refer to as “The City”. Our local constabularies have a very much similar attitude to enforcing our laws against political (mostly lefties out here) demonstrators.

    I have pretty much concluded that the general public’s right to such niceties of civilization such as the right to free travel, or to do commerce, or enjoy some peace and quiet are invariably over-ridden by some minority’s internal need to misbehave.

    When the leaders of our government, and especially our police forces, can delude themselves into thinking that issuing a citation/summons is likely to dissuade these miscreants from future displays of disregard for the rights of their fellow citizens, I think they have pretty much guaranteed repeat performances in the B.F. Skinner tradition of rewarded behavior tends to be repeated.

  9. The cops should have ensured the commies never return.

    Solyndra e-mails: Dept. of Energy was poised to approve $469 million for firm

    The Obama administration’s Department of Energy was poised last summer to give Solyndra a second major taxpayer loan of $469 million, even as the company’s financial situation was growing more dire.

    The Energy Department was actively pushing to provide the second loan guarantee to the troubled solar-panel manufacturer in April and May 2010, when Solyndra’s auditors warned the company was in danger of closing due to its rapidly mounting debts and expenses, according to complete e-mails just released by a House committee investigating the original loan.

  12. Now, let me ask you this. This is in New York City, right? Don’t they have to have a license to assemble, like a parade permit? Didn’t the people who organized this mess, probably the Communist Party USA have to go down to city hall and take out a permit to assemble in order for people to gather on private property and hold marches and whatnot’s? So how did they answer to question as to how long did they expect to be on the street, area they planned on assembling at, etc? What did they put down on the permit papers, “however long it takes to make the rich give up and give us all their money?”, or “whenever we decide to leave.”? You can’t just show up on the street with this many people who have signs and banners, and marching up and down, yelling with bull horns, disturbing the peace, making noise, dropping trash on the ground. Didn’t the permit office ask them to please pick up their trash, or provide some means to collect trash from as many people as they expect to show up? Or what? And what about when people need to go to the restroom, what then? How did the organizers expect the marcher’s, protesters, or whatever they are calling themselves, to be able to go to the restroom if they were going to be there longer than a couple of days? Are the protesters going home every night and then returns in the morning, or what? If they have been there for two weeks now, and I hear they are in need of sleeping bags, and the cops have finally gotten tired of them being there messing up traffic in the stock market streets if delivery trucks need to make stops in front or whatnot, blocking traffic on the streets getting people to complain about the cops removing the protesters, and whatnot, how much longer are they going to be there?

    I just can’t believe that the cops of New York City, a place where everyone knows about the tough cops dealing with tough situations, and these guys have gone for over two weeks putting up with this crap? I would have told them after the second day to clear the streets in however you have to get that done, just do it!

    These unemployed, college types, Communists, Nazi Jew haters, leftist wannabe’s have made their point. But I’ll tell you this, I’ll bet the cops would have never put up with a bunch of conservatives this big, Republican’s, Tea Party activists, or any of the kinds of people who showed up for the Washington ralley’s and anti-Obama government protest marches and demonstrations that were put on last year when the ObamaCare bill was about to be passed. That crowd wasn’t there in Washington for more than a day and after that they were gone, and so was every speck of trash.

    These pigs are so filthy, that may be the reason why the protesters are finally being run off, and that is because the trash is getting to be out of control because these pigs won’t clean up after themselves because they are nothing but irresponsible.

  13. WillofLa,

    It’s a production of Van Jones, Frances Fox Piven, and the SEIU/Stephan Lerner. It’s being funded by a group like the Tides Foundation, they’re one of George Soros’ political brothels.

  14. From #6 YourSiteSucks: “. . . an economy now where both the husband and the wife and everybody has to work. We used to live in a society where only one person needed to be the wage earner.“

    We used to be able to buy a loaf of bread for 20 cents. What’s your point?
    Economies evolve along with standards of living, production costs (and improvements), local/regional/global business processes and Government regulations of all types. The list goes on.

    It’s the decision of both husband and wife work.
    There are all sorts of reasons why they make that decision – not just the one you are floating.

    T-shirts, torn jeans and beards coupled with the latest I-Phones, I-Pods and tennis shoes tell more about this “movement” than is palatable to most of us.

    It’s also a wake-up call for working moms and dads: Perhaps they are spoiling their children into a state of perpetual dependency and an impatience in personal advancement.

    Carry on with your crap, if you must. The rest of us have to work (and that includes the wife and kids).

  15. Mother Jones rats out Occupy Wall Street:

    http://motherjones.com/politics/2011/10/occupy-wall-street-labor-unions

    I wonder if the members of the New York Teacher’s union knew in advance that they would be paying for this nonsense?

  16. Somebody needs to show that picture to Meshall-Mabell. Those two cops are so busted for being fatties.

  17. I always enjoy it when an economically illiterate kook (like the one at post #6) tells the rest of us to seek out the truth, as if he were the enlightened font of all knowledge, and yet fails to make even one coherent point.

  18. open season on the commie bastards….see ya later liberals and take your POS mooslime with you

  19. Dear Kyle (vidiot),

    this is your own fault you dumba&&…. YOU went to college and YOU are responsible to pay back YOUR loans. YOU obtained a mortgage to purchase YOUR OWN house… You could have rented for a few years to pay OFF your college loans and THEN bought a home when YOU could afford us. That is what ADULTS DO … we PAY OFF OUR own debts.

    sit down, work hard and if you can’t pay off YOUR LOANS, then sell your HOUSE to pay them off and RENT FOR A FEW YEARS

    FOR PETE’S SAKE

    signed,

    a responsible American who pays off ALL HER OWN DEBT

    (this is how its done a&&hole)

  21. On behalf of the financially responsible,……I would like to apologize for putting you in this position………….jackass!

  22. After watching the video I still have no idea what Kyle is talking about or what he wants. Something about being upset about having to pay back student loans and a mortgage. But didn’t he sign up for that? Didn’t he agred to pay for that stuff by signing his name to contracts? And what is this about living near poverty when both he and his fiance have jobs? Seriously, this is what these protests are all about?

  23. I´m once again shocked of how stupid or ignorant people can be… Dammit guys, cold war is over, this protest movement has nothing to do with communism nor are they hippies nor just college kids. Get informed, try to forget your prejudices. You migth be a bit luckier rigth now, or you dont care about anything and prefer keeping life and thinking simple, nevertheless, if you like it or not, YOU are part of the 99% too!
    Get the courage to stand up for your rigths you cowards!

  24. I dont know what your job is and how you found it, but having a job does NOT automatically mean having enough for a living…

  25. It is difficult to comprehend a 21st century movement from the perspective of the 20th century politics, media, and economics in which we are still steeped.

    In fact, we are witnessing America’s first true Internet-era movement, which — unlike civil rights protests, labor marches, or even the Obama campaign — does not take its cue from a charismatic leader, express itself in bumper-sticker-length goals and understand itself as having a particular endpoint.

    Yes, there are a wide array of complaints, demands, and goals from the Wall Street protesters: the collapsing environment, labor standards, housing policy, government corruption, World Bank lending practices, unemployment, increasing wealth disparity and so on. Different people have been affected by different aspects of the same system — and they believe they are symptoms of the same core problem.
    Are they ready to articulate exactly what that problem is and how to address it? No, not yet. But neither are Congress or the president who, in thrall to corporate America and Wall Street, respectively, have consistently failed to engage in anything resembling a conversation as cogent as the many I witnessed as I strolled by Occupy Wall Street’s many teach-ins this morning.Anyone who says he has no idea what these folks are protesting is not being truthful. Whether we agree with them or not, we all know what they are upset about, and we all know that there are investment bankers working on Wall Street getting richer while things for most of the rest of us are getting tougher.What upsets banking’s defenders and politicians alike is the refusal of this movement to state its terms or set its goals in the traditional language of campaigns.

  26. Oh, brother. The more the “occupation” doofusses talk, the less sense they make. The only message seems to be this: “We’re mad at… someone (we’re not sure who), and we want… something (but we don’t know what), and if we don’t get our way (which we can’t articulate at all) we’re gonna keep on trashing up public property in order to… well… er… never mind.”

    What a noble agenda.

  28. Kyle, if you are an example of a college educated person, then I suggest everyone pull their kids out of college.

    And take responsibility for the DEBT you’ve incurred, boy. It was all YOUR CHOICE.

    New asswipe? Welcome.

  30. This whole “hang the rich and confiscate their stuff” agenda has been done before. Oddly enough, it never seems to produce the utopia that the useful idiots thought it would.

  31. These commie and anarchist protestors must come from wealthy families. The guy in the video said he has debt and lives pay check to pay check. NEWS FLASH — SO DID the rest of us middle class people. We had to work for YEARS to get where we are today. They want instant gratification NOW. We never expected anyone to spread their wealth for US. We were taught to work hard and live within our means and not grip about it 24/7. There is nothing wrong with being young and poor OR old and poor. These people protesting are the greedy ones they are looking for. They better be careful or they may get what they asked for….. Socialism works until you run out of other peoples money. Then their is complete and total misery for all.

  32. Stupid little twerp, we all started with nothing, we had minimum paying jobs, we scrounged and ate Ramen. Then as we got better at our jobs, better opportunities arose, and we advanced in life.
    Problem is these whiny brats were raised with a golden spoon in their mouth and they wanted all the luxuries mommy and daddy gave them without going through that rough period their parents did. I’ve subsidized your education, don’t ask me to subsidize a lifestlye that I didn’t achieve until my late 40s.

  33. I want my FREE STUFF, and I want it RIGHT NOW!!!!

  34. #25

    You must like drugs a great deal to sound as delusional and demented as you do. Can you put a coherent thought together?

  35. Molon, if these layabouts could put together a coherent thought, they might have actual jobs, and be contributing something to society.

  36. #37 Molon Labe

    Spot on re: #25… but he/she doesn’t understand, after all he/she is “entitled” to stuff

    I hope the police get some good use out of their billy clubs at these infantile protests

    kick their wee little a&&e& all the way back to mommy’s basement

    No.More.Tolerance.For.Idiocy

  37. This writer is a tool of the neocon fascist establishment. While the US intervenes in sovereign nations, encouraging riots to overthrow these nations legitimate governments. Our government is crushing any protest (protected under the first amendment) against the bankster owned corporate military industrial complex. Any individual who dares to not pay homage to the global elite is dealt with harshly. Imprisoned or even murdered under the” protection” afforded by the tool known as the patriot act. End the Fed.. Restore the tariffs.. Ron Paul.. 2012

  38. I don’t know about you guys, but when I was 20 years old, I wasn’t looking at a country that had a 25% unemployment rate for youth under 25 (12% for college grad youth under 25).

    I didn’t see a country where banks owned more private real estate in the US than all other US real estate owners combined.

    I didn’t know a country where Goldman Sachs could move the price of oil, or where almost 50% of the citizens paid no federal income taxes because they didn’t make enough annual income to do so.

    Corporate raiders have moved from raiding companies to raiding the middle class. Notice that Walmart had NINE recent consecutive quarters where domestic sales were down. Nordstrom’s hasn’t suffered the same fate.

    Without a strong middle class and good opportunities for our youth to succeed, this country will fail as a democracy and those sweet beige houses out in the ‘burbs will be unattainable to most or in such disrepair as rentals as to make them untenable.

    These kids have a good message, and one that’s been a long time coming.

  39. These kids don’t have a good message at all. I guess they don’t care about free speech since the “occupy wall street” website is asking them not to make demands. Your handlers will make them for you. Does that tell you anything?
    The kids from Egypt and Libya thought they were going to get democracy too. Now they will have the Muslim Brotherhood and Shariah law telling them what to do. Be careful who you are associating with.

  40. Oooo, those eveeeeeel bankers, foreclosing on people for no reason, other than the fact that the people voluntarily borrowed a ton of money, promised to pay it back, signed a legal contract to do so, and then did not do so.

    When was it that banks were supposed to turn into welfare agencies?

    When was it that spendthrifts and deadbeats turned into noble victims?

    Oh, that’s right – it all began with Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society agenda, under which personal responsibility went into the toilet, to be replaced with a government nanny state.

  41. Thanks so much for all your great information. Congratulations on a fabulous website! It’s …

  42. A lot of people got mortgages and then lost their jobs because the economy tanked in 2007. It’s pretty difficult to pay your mortgage with no job, or with some part time gig at McDonalds.

    The banks got a trillion dollar bailout, but the middle class got lectures on personal responsibility. I find your “handler” comment pretty ironic in light of that, Sandy.

  43. Hey, i would seriously love to know one thing:

    Why are you hating those protesters so much? As far as I understand, they´re not protesting against you guys… I dont think they wanna take away anything from YOU.

    So what is it that disturbs you so much?

  44. I’m one of those “commies” that was at the protest. It’s a small group of people that are passionate about the disproportionate influence lobbyist and large corporations have on Washington. After Citizens United being passed by the Supreme Court now more then ever is the time to stand up for Democracy. Citizens United declared that corporate entities can donate unlimited funds without disclosing who they are to any political campaign they wish. It doesnt take a genius to see that this is legalized bribery and whoever gets a main party ticket, be it democrat or republican, they will have been bought and paid for. By who? This is the first presidential election that will have this unprecedented Big Business intrests COMPLETELY saturating it. Me and my friends came from SE Missouri to do our own political puppet theatre….we didn’t differentiate between Obama or Bush. They’re two sides of the same coin. When the voice of money is louder then the voice of the people it is no longer a democracy. The people that are there, be it a small group, are dedicated and pissed off. And rightfully so. I hope they keep it up and that those who mock them will see these aren’t just a rag tag group of riff raff. They are old. They are young. They are in college. They are single parents. They are families. They are liberal. They are conservative. They are veterans. They are anti-war. They are the 99%. They might not all be the same but they see the overwhelming greed in our politics and are trying to stand for what a TRUE democracy should be. I’m proud of all of them and hope even more come and exercise their right to assemble peacefully. Don’t discount a group of people just because you think your politics might not be the same.

  45. Also these ‘kids’ as they’re being painted are keeping their stuff picked up and making an effort to NOT trash the premises. They are even putting their ciggerette butts in the trash. Beyond the protest signs that they have displayed they are keeping a very tidy occupation. Maybe those that are hating so profusely should go see what’s going on for themselves and have a talk. There’s lots of good minds and patient souls that way. Go check it out for yourself.

  46. Incredible post…Congratulations on a fabulous website.
