    The Title says it all. The penalties for this (*)(*)(*)(*) needs to be increased. They need to spend at least 30 days in jail each for this (*)(*)(*)(*). They are purposely hurting our economy.

    How will we tell them apart from the people who normally camp the line all night?

    If I were a retailer, I'd just put all the stuff that people *really* want near them, mark those items down considerably, and watch as the occupiers get trampled.

    I'm fine with hitting the banking cartel. It is entirely in bed with government and the central economic planning bureaucracy that is the Federal Reserve. Retailers, on the other hand, are serving communities by providing access to goods that people otherwise could not get or could not afford. They rarely have much say in government, or much reason to lobby for protections. Why not go after the big food producers who are hellbent on destroying the smaller food - organics, raw milk, etc. - and pushing their chemical laden meats and vegetables on your holiday dinner table?

    If they want to get between several hundred people and the sales offered on Black Friday, be my guest. Personally, i'm not into being trampled.

    if they get in the way of those shoppers and get their asses handed to them thats their own fault for pissing off those people. also those retailers have every single right to protect their shoppers and have the police get rid of the OWS beggars from their vicinity.

    um nobody gets hurt for insulting the president, plus as we have this thing call freedom of speech. also we do not punish people for not following a certain religion, this is the United States and not an Islamic state.

    wanna try again?

    From the article in the OP:

    LOL - Remember, they're not a bunch of anti-Capitalist idiots. :lol:

    I guess it never occurred to the OccuTards that these publicly traded businesses are in the pockets of investors - many of whom are middle-classed working men and women that the OWSniks are pretending to support and defend - not "Wall Street".

    Oops, they're showing their true colors again...

    Heh. I'll keep in mind that the OccuTards are clueless idiots who are "occupying" the businesses that hardworking people have invested in. :roll:

    If they try to get in the way of shoppers, they'll be trampled for sure.

    So you don't have a problem with taking the goat meat and whatever else islamoites are allowed to eat from the mouths of your kids - assuming that yo're among the few men that are allowed to marry over there in musland?

    The economy builds homes and feeds our people. Only a fool anarchist would try to hurt the economy and the penalties for knowingly doing it should be higher.

    once again you are either failing to comprehend that what these OWS idiots do is against the law, or you just flat out ignore that fact to suit your agenda. you see what they are planning to do is harassment and civil disobedience.

    just like we dont allow the "God Htes (*)(*)(*)(*)" morons to be right next to a funeral home because its causing civil unrest, its the same thing the OWS crowd wants to do to shoppers and stores.

    so yeah i have a problem with your post, you are wrong.

    Protest Amazon?

    Their warehouse locations are hiring seasonal workers...
    something like 50,000 temporary workers paid about $13.00 an hour.

    Same for UPS and FedEx typically hires seasonal workers also.

    Granted this is just temporary work, but isn't it better to get some kind of paycheck
    versus just sitting around holding a sign in protest? or blocking patrons from going into a store?

    Work is available!

    Isn't that the main issue of why they are protesting, no work can be found?

    Temporary jobs often lead to full-time.
