A felon carrying a rifle and ammo was arrested by police at the Obama-endorsed Occupy Seattle rally today.
KIRO reported, via Orbusmax:

Seattle police arrested a convicted felon who was carrying a rifle in Westlake Park on Monday night, the Seattle Police Department said.

Bicycle patrol officers who were assigned to the Occupy Seattle protest overheard the man who was carrying a rifle case over his shoulder tell someone he was carrying a Ruger, in reference to the gun manufacturer, police said. The officers stopped the man, looked in the case and found a short-barreled rifle with a pistol grip. When they asked the man if he had any ammunition, he showed them an ammunition box that contained about 16 rounds.

A computer check revealed that the man was a convicted felon and police arrested him on a felony weapons violation, police said.

A serial exposer was also arrested at the rally on Monday.

    Lets apply it to a group of more-likely miscreants. Have plenty of paddy wagons on the ready.

    Everything that’s happening at these OWS are just so bizarre. What these people were claiming happened or would happen at the Tea Party events (racism, anti-Semitism, violence, public defecating, mass arrests, gun-toting, etc.) is actually happening at the OWS events, but no one in the media is actually saying these things are happening now. And yet the media people such as Gloria Vanderbilt’s little boy, Howitzer Explosionguy, and Brian Williams were saying such nasty things about the Tea Partiers that they wouldn’t even think about saying about these dirty fecal hipsters. The world is turned upside down.

    I wonder if Contessa on MSNBC will crop out a picture to hide the all-important lefty required ‘skin-tone’correctness of the armed person and then pontificate on the likelihood of Obama being assassinated by one of these ‘flea-baggers’, like she did with the TeaParty. Nah, I’d guess not.

    These OWS are imploding on their own, fights stealing etc.I think we need to use our own Alinsky tactic and hold these people to their own standards. It’s not stealing! It’s wealth redistribution! Beside Commies do’nt believe in private property anyway unless of course it’s their stuff.
    On a bright note-There is a nor’easter planning to blow through tommorrow and last all day in NYC. I hear they are predicting 3 inches of rain.

    OWS is a disaster like all of Obama’s plans. The destruction of the Mary Mother of God statue in Rome is the defining barbaric event of this revolution crushing all moral justifications. The bad press for the OWS is the only thing getting stronger …. Will we ever hear a genuine MEA CULPA from those in legion with the Devil….?… http://youtu.be/y7M9CKLw9Wg

    Hmmph. I’m not impressed with THE WON’s SA (Sturmtruppen). They’ll crap their pants if they try to redistribute my wealth. At least that’s what Mr. Mossberg and Mr. Colt tell me.

    And what is Sturmbahnfuhrer Obama uses his TSA. FBI. ATF storm troopers to r4edistribute your wealth. How about if he uses the military to seize your weapons? Do you believe there is a private in the army who has been instructed to know what an illegal order is? A captain? A general?

    Wouldn’t it be weird if the felon’s gun was one of those Gunwalker/Fast ‘n Furious ones??? Would also like to know where all that Solyndra money went—maybe to fund OWS?

    If someone has paid their debt to society, why should they be deprived of their Second Amendment rights? This guy was dumb for telling people he had the gun and consenting to the police search. I guarantee that there are many more protesters legally carrying. All it takes is one violent right-winger ventilated and you fascists will beg for gun confiscation (but not for “Real Americans”.)

    I don’t know about Seattle, but in Louisiana it’s a felony in and of itself to go heavy to a political rally.
