Occupy Burlington protesters attacked police tonight after a protester was shot dead at their squatters camp.
The police were trying to clear the park after the shooting.
The Burlington Free Press reported:
Occupiers have clashed with police in City Hall Park this evening after police tried to close down the encampment following a fatal shooting.
Mayor Bob Kiss talked police into releasing a detained woman. The situation intensified after a meeting between occupiers and police at 6 p.m. in City Hall.
Police said rules for the encampment may change and that police would need to take control of the park for at least 24 hours to investigate the death.

Bachmann Speech Interrupted by Occupy Wall Street Protesters
[A Michele Bachmann speech was interrupted earlier today by a group of protesters, who are apparently part of the Occupy Wall Street movement. The incident took place aboard a decommissioned aircraft carrier near Charleston, South Carolina, where Bachmann was set to deliver a speech on U.S. foreign policy. The USS Yorktown was the latest battleground for the Occupy movement, as several protesters abruptly approached the stage and began to chant in unison.[..]
any & all Republcian cnafdidates are going to be attacked by the Combine.

Typical Scum Bagger, make sure the camera’s are in position to film, be a volunteer with your group to get arrested. Provoke the police, get arrested, act like a victim, then have other members of your group attack the police.
Did you notice the only thing she says is the line she’s been told to repeat over and over, “I didn’t cross the line.”
Classic 60′s radical tactics.

It’s the beginning of the end for the wilding Progressive infants being able to cover all of their illegal act-outs by crying “free speech”. But at least they’ve progressed onward from crying “Haliburton..Haliburtion..Haliburton” like a flock of crazed Parrots, I guess?

Burlington where? Why did Mayor Bob Kiss intervene? Who wrote this newsless piece?
Blacque Jacques Shellacque commented:
Wow, what a coincidence. Someone got whacked earlier this afternoon near the Oakland, CA squatter crapfest.
JPeden commented:
“I didn’t cross the line.” Yeah, but “I was holding a ‘Peace’ sign,” which one moron used to try to prove he was unjustly rousted and ? arrested.

Let’s see if these squatter like the Vt winter while living in a tent. The high temp for that area of vermont will probably not get over 30 degree for January or February. It is a very very cold place. They routinely have single degree days and go below zero too. Tent’s don’t help much when it’s -5 F out.

Another prog mayor caves, you cannot appease irrational liberals. He’ll learn, tomorrow or the net day when these fools run rampant in his streets.

What a bunch of spoiled immature obscene petulant children.
“We were just having a dialogue.”
What inane babble. Semantically, she could mean practically anything. In other words, what is her definition of “having a dialogue”? Passing a joint…conducting a illicit transaction…insulting and or provoking police officers…flinging feces and urine…crapping on a police car?
How long is the nation going to endure this anti-social and illegal behavior? I am all for the redress of grievances, but the illegal and violent behavior must stop.
How much is all the policing, security, clean-up, property damage, local businesses’ lost sales, etc costing our society?
Just Like The Tea Party…yeah right.

I hate this stuff. Why have the mayors of big cities decided to support these hippies and criminals instead of looking out for the welfare of the cities’ residents, the taxpaying citizens?
They ought to all be run out of town on a rail!

Jim, aren’t you leaving out the fact that the burlington shooting is thought to be self inflicted?
Molon Labe commented:
The barbarians are at the gates and they are eating each other. Keep it up progressives its fun to see how civilized you are.
DaMav commented:
The cowardly liberals too frightened to enforce their city laws are in large part responsible for the resulting mob violence and injuries. What a disgrace.

Parenting 101… when the kid whines for it, you NEVER give them what they want. Then they think the way to get their candy is with a tantrum. And trust me, the tantrums only get worse…

These mobs are dangerously out of control. Treat those violent bliss-ninnies to generous quantities of pepper spray, tear gas and rubber bullets, then prosecute offenders instead of trying to “engage” them.

one spring/summer the city i lived in decided to let the homeless set up tents. the place became a pit and moving them out was a battle. their complaint was naturally homelessness
but as apartments were found they were rejected because the people wouldn’t move unless they were given subsidized apartments. no good turn ever goes unpunished.
RedBeard commented:
City officials who appease the “Occupy” scum’s illegal activities are guilty of gross malfeasance. In other words, they’re liberals. Surprise, surprise.
squeaky commented:
“..who appease the “Occupy” scum’s illegal..” at the expense of the other citizens. when services have to be denied due to shortfalls created by the cost of managing this clusterfandangle.
Maria commented:
This is not about your stupid movement. This is about someone dying of a gunshot wound in your camp and the fact that the police needs to investigate. Fools!!
Adirondack Patriot commented:
The Burlington Free Press is reporting that there were THREE OTHER PEOPLE in the tent when the dead Occupier was shot. THREE OTHER PEOPLE IN A 6X9 FOOT TENT.
They were the ones who claim it was a suicide. So far, there is no suicide note, or evidence of suicidal behavior.
Gee. I believe them. Why would they lie?
