This ought to brighten up your morning.
#Occupy Olympia goons tried to force their way into the Washington State capitol building yesterday. Unfortunately for them, the police met them at the door with tasers.
King 5 reported:
The Washington State Patrol began removing and arresting some of the hundreds of protesters who planted themselves inside the state Capitol building Monday night.
Protesters occupied the building’s rotunda most of the day, venting their frustration with proposed state budget cuts.
By night, protesters clashed with troopers trying to vacate the Capitol, resulting in a handful of arrests. Protesters who refused to leave were forcibly escorted and/or carried out. Several people were also given trespass warnings. If they return to the Capitol grounds within 30 days, they could be arrested.
In addition, three protesters were tased trying to push their way back into the building. The doors to the Capitol were locked earlier in the evening. In one scuffle, a trooper was bitten in the arm by a protester. A Department of Enterprise Services employee was also injured in a seperate incident.
As the Washington State Patrol locked doors to the Capitol, protesters inside chanted, “Let them in!”

Absolutely no respect for law enforcement. That’s what annoys me. Who do you think these Occupests would call should they have an emergency? The same people they disrespect.
Shameful.

Don’t have time to watch or read other than the headlie but you’re right Jim Hoft.
Knowing some occu-squatters were tased made my day.
Joe College commented:
At no point anywhere in the story is the unlimited occupation of the statehouse described as either legal or illegal. We are simply not told whether laws are broken.
But the reporter makes a point of describing the protestors as “peaceful.”

Taze away, brothers. Then put them to hard labor shoveling their own monster poop piles and doing sanitization.
The Underground Conservative commented:
It’s funny until an Occutard is pepper-sprayed, tear-gassed or tasered. Then it’s freakin’ hilarious.
gus commented:
Exactly like the TEA PARTY!!! Bring it LIBTARDS. Electrifiying!!!
LibertyAtStake commented:
I love how she concludes with “both sides plan to come back tomorrow.” Both sides? In this corner we have the civil society. Coming back tomorrow we have the Leftist lunatics who seem unable to live with the civil society. How do you say no to a lunatic that won’t take no for an answer. Historically, incarceration has been the preferred solution.

Democrat Gov & Democrat Mayor herding Democrat/Union approved Occupy thugs with tasers… and Obama hits 30% with Independents, WINNING!
zaugg commented:
The double standards of the press is Orwellian. “Mostly peaceful”, is that like hardly dangerous? If the Tea Party had a single event like any one of the hundreds now for the Occupiers, it would have been front page daily.
2012 is going to be a turning point in our country’s survival and we will deserve the leadership we get.

Arrest the ones blocking the street, and charge them. Add actual court and law enforcement costs to the bill. If it costs an additional $1Mill in police overtime, and you arrest 100 people, divide it up among the idiots.
“Excuse me sir, please move out of the street or you will be arrested, and your court costs will include your percentage of the additional expenses the city is incurring for your actions. Currently that is about $10,000 an arestee. Oooo, look at him move. Ok, next!”

They should have done that here in LA, but the mayor chickened out. Now the Occupiers are celebrating. Here’s some video I got.

Oh, and be sure to chase it with this article from Breitbart, which is a follow-up to the Richmond story that was posted by Jim last Thursday.

This is how it’s done: 1) Behave well, and according to the ordinances, as well as the ordinary rules of courtesy, so that when you demonstrate your interest in an issue, you also provide a friendly venue for useful discussion;
2) Come away from your demonstrations with contact information, and with any luck, better-refined ideas of how you and others like you can get what you want;
3) Observe and record.
4) Insist that your government and other entities abide by the same ordinances as you: this is the essence of equal protection under the law.
This is how the Democrats’ Ku Klux Klan was defeated, and it’s how the Democrats’ OWS can be embarrassed.
I would add that, in my opinion, the OWS debacle is well worth close study, both for its participants and its tactics. The cumulative story shows how dustbin-of-history revolutionary tactics can be blunted by mere exposure.
We are Americans. We confuse people who think like old-style Russians.

Dunce commented:
Do not get in a democrat governors face. Dissent is only patriotic when the office holder is a republican. Just one of the many double standard rules, too bad these public school products never learned to follow directions.
BarbaraS commented:
They ought to tase them all.
Buffalobob commented:
The reporter-ett states that the protests were mostly peaceful…..Except for the occasional resisting of arrest, assaulting a police officer (severely bitten) blocking a public thoroughfare, occupying a public building after closing, refusing lawful orders from law enforcement. Yes my dear in the eyes of a prog reporter they were mostly peaceful except for the ones that were not. Dimwit.
ReelCan commented:
The violence perpetuated and bred on this site is appalling as we saw with the WalMart story where commentators recommended violence with bats. Our forefathers would be ashamed of you. If you don’t like what someone says, back it up with fact. Not the encouragement of crimes against humanity or junk journalism. And I have no political affiliation before you think about throwing useless labels for human life around.
Reverend Egg Plant commented:
Wow. I sure do miss the days of impartial reporting, where news was just the facts and not slanted opinion. Just toss those people’s 1st Amendment rights on the floor. I thought the Constitution was the law of the land.
Bob Stevens commented:
OWS is a cult and these people are worthless to society.
Incarcerate them for vagrancy, jaywalking, and other trivial law they break until they go home and make productive members of society.
It isn’t free speech to lay in a road blocking traffic, morons!
colemanimal commented:
lower middle class and the poor are unable to be productive for themselves in our society. the fruits of their labor goes to business owners who have a vested interest in keeping them poor. laws have little meaning because they are written by the rich in defense of the rich and their “property” and enforced by hired hands. police have to carry out orders whether they agree with it or not, because they too are the working poor and losing their job might mean losing their home, so what is the point in “respecting” the law? tasing unarmed people is thuggish and shameful and taking pleasure in it is foolish. if violence escalates its not unheard of for mistreated citizens to arm themselves with pipe bombs and molotov cocktails and the police to switch sides. after all, desperate people, desperate deeds.
