#Occupy Goons March on Official’s Home With Pitchfork, Torch US Flag & Sing “F*ck You America” (Video)

#Occupy Oakland goons threatened Oakland city council member Patricia Kernighan after she proposed an ordinance that would outlaw weapons at #Occupy demonstrations. The local #Occupiers didn’t like this. They printed out “Wanted” posters, marched to her house with a pitchfork, torched the US flag in the street and sang “Fu*ck you, America.”
Citizen Journalist reported:
Oakland city council member Patricia Kernighan was concerned about public safety.
She was particularly concerned about the turmoil and disruption that Occupy brought to Oakland. So she proposed an ordinance that would outlaw bringing to demonstrations some of the common “tools of violence” that Occupiers frequently used, such as impact-resistant shields, hammers, aerosol cans, pressurized paint sprayers, paint projectiles, and fire accelerants—all of which have been deployed by Occupy Oakland.
The ordinance came up for a vote on May 22. Occupiers packed the meeting with about 40 people and spent almost 2 hours cursing and yelling at Kernighan and other council members.
Here is video of the #Occupy protest at Kernighan’s home.
on June 11, around 40 people actually marched on Kernighan’s home, at least one person carrying a pitchfork, and rang her bell. Kernighan apparently wasn’t home. This seemed to stymie the Occupiers. So they made speeches to themselves, burned an American flag, sang “fuck you America”, and then walked dejectedly home again.
Much more here.

I thnk all similarities to the tea party can now be put to rest. These anarchists are not mainsteream, clearly do not love America, and are on the path to our destruction, if they can spark enough outrage. Fortunately their tactics are so unattractive, that a thinking person can see this is not a movement that seeks constructive, change and the expanion of freedom.

Dissenters?
No.
Revolutionaries – enemies of the state.
At some point these revolutionaries will decide to act out their dangerous words.
Then our so-called public leaders will have a real decision on their hands.

Yes, but if this was a City Ordinance proposing that any Tea Party Member caught speaking about conservative principles on any street in Oakland be immediately publicly hanged from the nearest lamp post, these same Leftists would be SHOUTING FOR such a new law.
We learned the hard lessonthat free speech only applies to Left speech, and not the other way around.

OT — and in San Diego, Gary Kreep won a judgeship
http://www.utsandiego.com/news/2012/jun/20/tp-advocate-wins-judge-seat-says-law-will-be-his/
Ramona lawyer and conservative legal advocate Gary Kreep, nationally known for challenging the legitimacy of President Barack Obama’s birth certificate, has clinched a seat on the San Diego Superior Court.
Kreep led Deputy District Attorney Garland Peed by 1,569 votes Tuesday, with 1,000 ballots left to count from the June 5 election.
Kreep and his public-interest law firm, U.S. Justice Foundation, have gained national attention for taking on high-profile cases over the past three decades. In addition to what’s become known as the “birther” case involving Obama, he was the lawyer this year for a Camp Pendleton Marine sergeant who was discharged from the corps for criticizing the president on Facebook.

The Union-Tribune speculates that he won because this was a low-profile race.
I have a different take on it. The voters in California have told their legislators over and over that they are not interested in having their taxes raised right now; or in focusing on some minority to pay penalty taxes; or in having the state refer to same-sex civil unions as “marriage.” Thus far, the governor, the legislature, and the unions have shown very little sign of listening.
I don’t think the California voters have “swung to the right” at all. They are as liberal as ever, but they have always expected a lot of bang for their generous buck, and they expect their politicians to act in accord with general principles of fairness, competence, and ethics. They also expect them to pay attention.
If this state’s legislators and governor cannot straighten out their finances, the state still will not swing to the Republicans, mainly because it’s a one-party state. That leaves only one avenue for a genuine protest vote in November — in the race for President. I think California may well flip to Republican in the next Presidential election.

When someone says F U America aren’t they making a public statement of renouncing their citizenship? I mean at some point a person does renounce it right?

Let them have their weapons; the paint sprayers, the hammers, even the bags of urine.
The cops get the 12 pound Napoleon with chain and canister.

When the pushback comes, and it will come, body bags will be at a premium.

Isn’t this the same group that rallied in support of the sexual exploitation of children? Don’t forget, Ali Bama, Nazi Pelosi, and Horses *ss Harry support these anarchists. Of course, the Communist Party USA and Socialist Party USA also endorse Ali Bama. What a friend we have in Ali Bama.
