Radical #Occupy Nashville Criminals Celebrate Breaking the Law
Posted by Jim Hoft on Saturday, October 29, 2011, 10:38 AM
Yup… Just like the tea party.
Only on the left do they celebrate breaking the law with pride and glee.
Occupy Nashville protestors who were arrested overnight at Legislative Plaza in downtown Nashville, hold up their citations after they were released from jail Friday, Oct. 28, 2011 in Nashville.

A liberal judge released the protesters after he found no reason to hold them for breaking curfew.
The AP reported:
Tennessee state troopers for the second straight night arrested Wall Street protesters for defying a new nighttime curfew imposed by Republican Gov. Bill Haslam in an effort to disband an encampment near the state Capitol.
And for a second time, a Nashville night judge dismissed the protesters’ arrest warrants.
The Tennessean newspaper reported early Saturday morning (http://tnne.ws/vE2PXN) that Magistrate Tom Nelson told troopers delivering the protesters to jail that he could “find no authority anywhere for anyone to authorize a curfew anywhere on Legislative Plaza.”
Occupy Nashville protesters — including many of the 29 arrested in a pre-dawn raid on Friday — returned to the Legislative Plaza that evening and remained through the 10 p.m. curfew.
Because on the left, there are no rules that can’t be broken.

A mirror image of the Tea Party.

Well fed, nicely dressed, nicer shoes than I’ve got, and apparently not too concerned about missing work or finding any to begin with. They are so oppressed, man.

ok all you Nashville business owners…remember their faces get their names and never ever hire one of them
Greg commented:
What we have here is “adults”(?) who never really grew up still desperate to be a part of the supposed “In Crowd” and completely clueless as to how they allow themselves to be manipulated by peer group pressure. Silly humans!
Rose commented:
Odd thing about this photo of Occupy protesters – they all look like they have EACH spent HOURS in the shower, and used soap, and combs and brushes.
The oddest of all the Occupy photos.

This sound to me another Wisconsin thing. Gov. enforces a curfew and a magistrate can override the curfew? Say What?
Again, vote all liberal judges out of office. This is the most important thing this nation could do for itself. PERIOD.
Patty commented:
VOTE!!! This is just as dire as Obama leaving the White House.
tnxplant commented:
Most people here in Nashville aren’t even paying attention to the folks down on Legislative Plaza. My impression is that there aren’t many, and they are relatively well behaved in comparison to the ones in other cities. (I think what brought on the new rules and arrests were tourist complaints about private behavior performed in public and offers of drugs for sale.)
Nashville Gal commented:
Sorry to say this is happening in my city. Wish they’d juxtapose a photograph of the first Tea Party gathering on Legislative Plaza that I and 10000 other people attended alongside this merry band of ne’er-do-wells.
@#1AMERICAN: Good idea. I’ll definitely pass it along to my hubby… who IS a Nashville business owner. Thanks for the tip!

Bet the majority of them are state employees, the rest are union reps. Sucks to be you thinking you will dodge what’s coming to everyone else.

Part of the standard “Rules for thee, but not for me.”

Looks like a union teacher’s after school happy hour gathering.
Tom Smith commented:
Mostly women and gays in this picture. Yes I can tell.
exsanguine commented:
Umm. The judge is right. There is no statute or law that they broke. The gov cannot selectively place a curfew on a single location without giving due notice.
Island Girl commented:
Nashville has a high black population – none here?

It too 73 State Troopers to arrest these people?
Shauna Pluskota commented:
I have a job, my grandma gave me that coat, it cost $10, I was arrested, I’m in that photo, my mother works for a university and supports me, including my Republican and Veteran friends (ages ranging from 18-76). If a good republican candidate was up for election, I’d vote for them, Way to go with electing Bush by the way (idiots), that turned out real well. lol I’m straight, I don’t have dreadlocks, it was raining that morning we were released and we spent the evening being drug by police and placed in a holding cell for 6 hours, you’d look like hell too. Yes, I took a shower when I got home. Stay repressed, that’s your choice, oh and continue being judgmental, I in fact support that because judging by your comments I’d have to guess that most of you get off on making shallow, misinformed, and irrelevant remarks about things you only vaguely educate yourself about. Morons. lol
Thanks for giving me something to do by writing this, I was bored with all my childish, whinny, hippie ranting with intelligent people, I forgot how many unaware people are out there. Kisses.
CTN commented:
They didn’t break the law, because they weren’t given proper warning according to the law. Kind of makes your title look stupid.
Shauna Pluskota commented:
There we’re only 10 women, including myself arrested and in that photo.

See now, CNT did their research. Thanks for know what you’re talking about
Shauna Pluskota commented:
You guys are going on my facebook, it’s been decided, this article is just too good not to share!
ant commented:
Shauna, why aren’t you lot protesting the Obama administration, Congress, or even Barney Frank, or others in your State that contributed to this economic malaise? The Democrats have been in power for 3 years now, Congress for 3 years before that. You’ve got nerve calling others ignorant and then blaming Republicans for the current situation. Educate yourself on the real causes of this ‘economic injustice’ instead of relying on what you’ve been told. Go ask Obama and Pelosi why spending over 787 billion dollars has done nothing to improve the citizens’ situations and then ask them why they think they need to do it again. Where were you guys when the TeaParty was protesting bailing out the “too big to fail”? Oh, that’s right, those guys were racists. Open your eyes, you can’t change the world for the better when you’re buying the propaganda. Don’t be a useful idiot.
ant commented:
Shauna, I understand The Won’s new campaign manager (as if the campaign ever stopped) is a Wall Street lobbyist and big money contributer. What do you say? Is that the ‘hope’ part or the ‘change’? Do you think Obamas making thousands of dollars in just this one, latest move to spend taxpayer dollars buying his book is ‘fair’? Do you think that’s gonna help the economy? Is that spreading the wealth? These are all answers us ‘ignorant folk’ and laid-off working class, racist, evil conservatives need to know.

I hope you don’t consider yourself a writer.

I see white people.
Shauna Pluskota commented:
Occupy is an attempt to change those questions you ignorant folk wonder, yes. Do you not have conversations with your friends about the way things in our system suck or maybe how stupid this whole occupy thing is? Well, I’m just talking with people about the problems in world, our economy, Obama, it’s just on a much grander scale then you. Enlighten yourself and come join! Then maybe you can help us figure out how to fix our problems, since collectively we don’t have as much money as the corporations in charge do, but we’d like to figure out a way to change that.
Shauna Pluskota commented:
And no I don’t consider myself a writer. I’m tired from a long day at work and even questioned if it was worth my last bit of energy in responding to this article. You’re luck I’m even putting in commas….
Anyone in Nashville know a good cheap message therapist? My back hurts from working 9 hours a day at my job, then protesting for your rights.
Shauna Pluskota commented:
“The 1% who receive 99% of MSM attention.”
It got your’s.
Better than this countries news and media.
I bet you watch Fox.
I think they claimed we’re associated with over seas terrorist today.
That was a good one. lol
Shauna Pluskota commented:
4 black, 1 Irish, 1 Pollock, and 29 people willing to get arrested to exorcise their american rights, that draw attention but hurt none.
ant commented:
Shauna @ #35, Occupy, by their own admission (I’ve read their list of demands) is a patheticly organized, illogical group of communist idiots, who, while bemoaning the big government/corporate client cronyism call for government to fix the problem. Government IS the problem, Occupy thinks it’s the solution. At least,….. sometimes, ….. it depends what line of the demands you are reading. Their thinking and beliefs are convoluted. And I trust no group that think they are the standard keepers for who is deserving of their/governments’ benevolence or malevolence. We have that particular problem already.
Take the recent homeless being denied food from the Occupiers. Are the homeless noy part of the 99%? Who makes that decision?, and to whine about wasted labor and resources going to the needy that are not part of the precious group. Well…welcome to the party. Isn’t that what the Occupiers are wanting? Take money from those they decide it’s okay to take from and give it to them. Again, a problem we have already, courtesy of government and leftist jack-asses. You say you work, that’s fine. You know the percentage taken out benefits everyone from the congressman who wets his beak, to terrorist nations, to drug-addicted low-lifes that would kill you for the color of your skin and your $10 jacket. If Occupy and their behind-the-scenes supporters had their way, that situation would be magnified. Your right to protest under Communism will be non-existent. How many of these ‘occupiers’ are willing to leave and move to a socialist Country, like North Korea? Ask them, let them know the Government takes care of all problems there, and yet no Americans are flocking to reach it’s shores, why? Excuse the long-winded paragraph, but I feel you’re fooling yourself and you’re being used. You want opportunity and freedom to earn a living wage, while calling out the corruption and cronyism of a government/client corporation love-fest? Join a TeaParty.
Brandon commented:
You all are despicable. As a Conservative, I don’t agree with their message. But the people have a 1st Amendment right to assemble on public property. IT doesn’t matter how they are organized or what they are saying, they have a right to be there, just like you have a right to publish this trash and post your ridiculous remarks. Shame on you all.
alxs commented:
Liberal Judge? Socialist? Sounds like Staunch Tea Party Judge to me. Less regulation, smaller government, defend the constitution.
tnxplant commented:
@ Island Girl – FYI the 2000 census showed 66% white population, 27% black, 3% Asian. Nashville does not have a “high black population”.
I may not agree with all the ideas represented, but I do think the state overreacted here. They do have a right to be there and assemble.
ssi illinois commented:
It is not the celebration of breaking the law but these things happen when you dont get your rights and some is sitting over you all the time.
