What area are the police blocking the protesters from?

Hopefully from mass transit and trespassing.

 

[Manos: The Hans of Fate]

For people with jobs or who have appointments here are the stations that are being threatened. Guess they were too scared to go near Penn Station.

LUNCH: Occupy The Subways - 3:00 p.m.

We will start by Occupying Our Blocks! Then throughout the five boroughs,we will gather at 16 central subway hubs and take our own stories to the trains,using the "People's Mic".

Hey guys let me try the same tactic that hasn't work again.

You went to a really bad law school, didn't you, Manos? It's kind of weird that you were able to able to pass the bar. You don't even seem entirely literate. Ah well.

You need to stop stealing from Jorma's routine.

 

[slidewinder]

But it's been well-established over the course of your 450+ posts in this topic that the protestors and people who sympathize with them are a bunch of dumb, shiftless, feckless, hippies.

 

[teruterubozu]

I just listen to Hannity and I get Manos verbatim.

Livestreaming http://www.ustream.tv/theother99

The stream has been in the background as I've been reading, why don't the police just lighten up and turn it into a carnival.

There's some poor young cop that keeps being stopped by his senior for being too aggressive.

Yeah, but the law school thing is Jorma's routine.

Im pretty sure manos would agree more the the general idea of OWS than hanity (i could be wrong). I've not been in this thread very much but from what I read his main beef is just with the tactics and messaging. I don't even think he is a Republican.

It depends on his mood. But I swear some days it's like, I just heard that last night on the radio. (And yes I listen to conservative radio - gotta keep up with the talking points of the other side)

Nope I'm a registered Democrat and un this years election out of the ~18 offices up I only voted Republican in one.

Well, perceptions are a hell of a thing.

Quick check out camer 2 on the stream, I think the police are about to arrest a wheel chair bound lady for sitting down on the street.

Edit: They wheeled her off, the police officer looked embarrassed. About 10 arrested for sitting infront of a police barricade, technically they were on the road but man that's gonna be a waste of paperwork.

Would you feel different if it wasn't a wheelchair bound person?

 

[travisbickle]

Would you feel different if it wasn't a wheelchair bound person?

It was the comedy effect of her being pushed away for occupying the road. I didn't mean it to sound like there was some gross injustice to disabled people.

 

[Manos: The Hans of Fate]

Fair enough. She was trying to block the road though. I dunno I just don't find the comedy in a person being removed by their wheelchair being pushed. I means the humor seems to come more from the persons disability than anything else.

 

[eznark]

So, what's the goal today?

 

[cooljeanius]

So, what's the goal today?

Breakfast: Prevent the NYSE bell from ringing for the morning, or at least delay it (the bell normally rings at 9:30 Eastern)
Lunch: Do stuff on the subway
Dinner: Occupy the Brooklyn Bridge

 

[Manos: The Hans of Fate]

So, what's the goal today?

Annoy and piss off New Yorkers who have to commute and get around the city which will help garner New Yorkers support somehow.

No it doesn't. You are such a parody.

 

[Manos: The Hans of Fate]

No it doesn't. You are such a parody.

At least I don't find humor in peoples disabilities.

Cool, thanks! Who is ringing the bell this morning?

 

[Joe]

Oh god manos you are the worst, literal cringe worthy. Stop trying so hard, its embaressing.

 

[Wazzim]

You're so fucked up in your head. I know from all your posts that you actually ARE a smart person, you have the intellect. It's just that rational thinking and connecting facts is very hard for you.

 

[Manos: The Hans of Fate]

Oh God manoeuvre you are the worst, literal cringe worthy. Stop trying so hard, its embaressing.

One should check auto corrections before posting.

 

[cooljeanius]

Phase one of the plans for today failed. The bell rang on time.

 

[Barrett2]

Question, remember those two idiots on Colbert a few weeks ago, Ketchup and some dude. What's the story on them? Was that video edited to make them look like the most annoying college student a-holes in the world, or...?

 

[eznark]

Of course it did. It's an unrealistic goal.

Yeah when I heard that last night I was like "oh crap, I pass through at least two hubs on the way to work" and then I saw the list. Chickens! You don't get any hubbier than Atlantic Ave. in Brooklyn, but thank you for skipping it.

 

[Barrett2]

Of course it did. It's an unrealistic goal.

Yeah, im' not sure how they would honestly expect to prevent that. Delaying the NYSE opening by 5 minutes would cost billions of dollars. Bloomberg would send tanks in before letting that happen.

 

[travisbickle]

At least I don't find humor in peoples disabilities.

You are such a loser, you'll make a great lawyer.

Yeah the list seems pretty anemic. I guess the goal is to get into the easier stations and cause delays to screw up the entire system. Union Square though is pretty large and could easily screw up traffic around the system.

 

[Manos: The Hans of Fate]

You are such a loser, you'll make a great lawyer.

Actually I'm already a lawyer, you though need to treat people with disabilities as more than a source of humor for yourself.

 

[eznark]

Pretty sure it has only ever been delayed by national emergencies.

 

[Wazzim]

Just like I said, you needed to study hard to become a lawyer yet you still support the government and commercial fraud happening in the country. :-/

 

[NervousXtian]

It's awesome up in here that anyone who doesn't agree completely with OWS is labeled as a troll.

Such a classy response guys. You want a circle-jerk free from serious discussion, there's forums for that.

 

[Manos: The Hans of Fate]

You support the UKs banning membership or existence of a non criminal group based on the ruling on one minister.

OWS supporters are quickly becoming the new bronies

As a fellow lawyer, you'd be surprised how conservative a lot of attorneys are.

Go read the original thread, then read this one before making a sweeping generalization like that.

Keith Olbermann on Bloomberg : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoG9PmdGaT8&feature=player_embedded#

Holy crap that was amazing. OBLITERATED Bloomberg and just exemplified why OWS is needed.

 

[eznark]

I have never in my life had the impression that lawyers, in general, are liberals.

 

[NervousXtian]

Don't really want to do that, have enough from the last 20 pages to justify my post.

 

[Manos: The Hans of Fate]

Didn't stop some from being delusional.

Update 9:38 a.m.: Shortly after 9 a.m., there was jubilant cheering from protesters under the impression that the NYSE opening bell had been delayed. But the bell is rung daily at 9:30 a.m., and that just happened, as usual.

 

[Barrett2]

I have never in my life had the impression that lawyers, in general, are liberals.

I think some people equate trial lawyers with lawyers in general, and with that a belief that attorneys broadly favor progressive policies.

Or maybe it's because I grew up in Texas and Utah around too many nutty conservatives.

 

[Joe]

Don't really want to do that, have enough from the last 20 pages to justify my post.

I'd like to see some choice quotes then because I have been following since the beginning and have not seen someone labelled a troll for merely not supporting ows.

 

[Schattenjäger]

Yes because the 1% take the subways smh
This is going to do more harm than good to the OWS movement

 

[Manos: The Hans of Fate]

I'm just hoping that OWS supporters don't start becoming violent and try rioting.
