I would have gone for the reel big fish tune instead. But i’d have been wrong, tracy chapman is lovely.
I was thinking that surely I wasn’t the only one to make the Kent State-UC pepper spray connection…
Yeah, I don’t remember any cops with tear-gas showing up when the teatards deliberately disrupted peaceful town-hall meetings either.
Raging Bee’s (not Raging Bees) comparison to the non-tear-gassing of Tea Party protests is more appropriate than the contrast with the Westboro Baptist Church protests.
For two reasons:
a) Although loud and obnoxious WBC make a point of generally not getting in anyones way or actually preventing people from getting around. Because that would be illegal and would therefore prevent them from earning a living.
b) Which they do by suing those people and municipalities who step over the line. Tear gassing Fred Phelps would make his year*.
WBC is not a protest group. They’re a legal practice.
Mike.
* Of course the lesson here is if you were tear-gassed or pepper-sprayed at an Occupy protest now is the time to ‘lawyer-up’.
You weren’t. See item six in this link, which I got from a PZ post. http://blogs.sfweekly.com/exhibitionist/2011/11/seven_awful_things_ann_coulter.php
