Occupy Wall Street–Hit’s New Low

The Occupy mob is pretty much a bunch of loser, but today they took they managed to hit a new low.  The latest target of the Occupy mob is children.

From CBS:

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — They were caught in the middle of madness.

Some grade school students were forced to walk a gauntlet of screaming “Occupy Wall Street” protesters just to get to school on Thursday.

It was a wild day in lower Manhattan for most everyone involved, including elementary school children who had to brave the mayhem just to get to class on the other side of Wall Street.

In the middle of thousands of protestors yelling and chanting — some kicking and screaming – CBS 2’s Emily Smith found little school kids trying to get to class. Nervous parents led them through the barriers on Wall Street. The NYPD helped funnel the children, anything to ease their fears while some protestors chanted “follow those kids!”

“These guys are terrorists, yelling at little kids,” one father said. “For them it’s horrible. They’re afraid of all the crowds. We’re not even able to get through. They’re just, he’s … very afraid now,” a mother added.

Of course, the mob has no respect for anyone else’s rights and generally wants to make life as miserable for everyone who, well, everyone who has a job.

From Yahoo:

Hundreds of anti-Wall Street demonstrators blocked a downtown Los Angeles street on Thursday, snarling traffic on surrounding freeways before police moved in to make arrests and break up the rally.

Protesters first marched through the Los Angeles financial district, chanting "Occupy the Freeways, Occupy the U.S.A.", and then a small group stood in a circle and held hands on a major downtown street, blocking it, before police advanced.

At least 26 protesters were arrested in the city in separate marches and rallies, and arrests appeared to be underway at a Bank of America branch in downtown Los Angeles.

The Los Angeles march came as cities across the country have taken police action in recent days to dismantle protest camps set up as part of the Occupy movement against economic inequality and excesses of the financial system.

The march also coincided with a planned day of action that saw hundreds of people take to the streets of several U.S. cities, including New York where at least 177 people were arrested, in rallies seen as a test of momentum of the Occupy Wall Street movement.

Across America, hundreds of people were arrested today in violent protests.  That is hundreds more than have been arrested at Tea Party rallies.   In New York, at least one police officer was slashed and another suffered an eye injury.

While I am not a Karl Rove fan, occasionally you have to give him a little credit and he nailed it today.  A speech he made today was disrupted by the Occupy mob.  Instead of sitting there and taking it, he fired back.

Rove told the disrupters, “If you don’t have the courage to stand here and then ask a question, you’re just showing your moral cowardice.   Do not be so arrogant and presumptive to think that you’re the only person who has a First Amendment right that needs to be heard. Who gave you the right to occupy America? Nobody.”

For once, good for Karl Rove.
