Occupy occtrocities: Topless women and chaos in Oakland

Monsanto plant, Constantine, Michigan

Saturday was a busy day for the Occupy movement. In addition to a flag burning, there was a flag burning, as well as assaults on police and of course, vandalism.

Cold weather hasn't ended female topless dancers within the movement.

And Occupy Monsanto was a flop.

Video: Occupiers invade restaurant in Santa Fe, guest of legislator's eye injured

Those rude occupiers invaded a restaurant inside the Eldorado Hotel in Santa Fe, New Mexico four days ago. A group of legislators from both parties were dinner guests of American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), a small-government organization.

The agitators threw 5 x 8 cards in the restaurant--phony invitations--the New Mexico Watchdog is reporting. One of those cards hit the eye of a guest of a Republican legislator, possibly injuring her.

And there is video of the rudeness.



As she's being hauled away, one occupier shrieks, "ALEC killed indigenous people!"

We are not dealing with rational people.

Roadhouse Roundup has more.

Occupy Oakland: 300 arrests, US flag burned, cops assaulted, art vandalized

Those peaceful folks with Occupy Oakland held a roving rally yesterday. Among the lowlights were 300 arrests, a burning of an American flag, broke into City Hall and stole some more flags, assaulted police officers with rocks and bottles, vandalized art, damaged fencing and construction equipment, and generally created havoc.

Oakland's hapless mayor, Jean Quan, who initially fawned over the radical leftists, still doesn't get it. She is blaming the mayhem on a tiny "very radical, violent" segment within the Occupy movement.

Three weeks ago Occupy Oakland held a "F*ck OPD" rally.

Video: Chicago Teachers Union organizer welcomes Occupy Chicago to new home

In the new documentary A Tale of Two Missions, Juan Williams said, "If the Chicago Teachers Union would put as much effort into improving as they do into protesting, then perhaps Chicago wouldn't be so burdened by violence, crime, and lack of economic mobility all borne of bad schools."

Yesterday afternoon one of those protesters, CTU organizing coordinator Norine Gutekanst, gave a hearty welcome to Occupy Chicago at their new headquarters at a loft on the city's South Side. Over 300 Occupy Chicago members have been arrested since they started protesting in September; nationally, over 6,000 occupiers have been busted. In my opinion it's a group of lawbreakers.



In my video, Gutekanst selectively read from the Chicago Teachers Union endorsement of Occupy Chicago.

She left this part out:

Whereas, Chicago Teachers Union represents teachers, paraprofessional and school related staff and school clinicians who work with and are members of the other 99% of Americans who have experienced cuts in their pay through the Board's reneging of 4% contractual raises...

Hmm...why did Gutekanst omit that passage?

But she did declare, "We look forward to continued partnership with the Occupy movement."

I agree with what Gutekanst said next. "Our students, their families, and our communities deserve the resources necessary to enable them to get a world-class education."

But I have to return to what Williams asserted in the documentary: "If the Chicago Teachers Union would put as much effort into improving as they do into protesting, then perhaps Chicago wouldn't be so burdened by violence, crime, and lack of economic mobility all borne of bad schools."

This is the last day of National School Choice Week. And oh, does Chicago ever need choice.
