Marathon Pundit: More OccupyChicago pics from 10/22 march: Commies and Palestinian activists

After I left Occupy Chicago last night, 130 protesters--publicity seekers really, were arrested for refusing to leave Grant Park. City parks close at 11pm. The leftists will use this as evidence of repression inherent in the system--injustice endorsed by Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel. But the protesters separated themselves in two groups late last night, Fox 32 Chicago reported. Those in the red group didn't want to be arrested, those in green acquiesced to "the man."

I first encountered WorldCan'tWait at the Chicago Marathon of all places in 2006. They were chanting, "The world can't wait, drive out the Bush regime." They've moved on to making outrageous statements about the police. Yes, I know all about rogue Chicago police commander Jon Burge torturing suspects. He's in prison now.

But dontcha love those orange and black Halloween colors?

The police put their lives on the line every day they show up for work.

Atlas Shrugged Part One was released on DVD last month. Now, about Santa Claus and the Great Pumpkin...

Hey, I warned you about Obama.

Not a scientific survey. Warren Buffett, are you reading this?

As I wrote in my morning OccupyChi post, go to internationalsocialist.org to learn more.

Students for Justice in Palestine may have been the most radical group attending last night's march--and the competition was quite stiff. DePaul's SJP played a role in the forcing out of Thomas Klocek from his teaching job in 2005.

Here's what FrontPageMag's DiscoverTheNetwork wrote about the group a few years ago: "SJP chapters are only loosely affiliated with one another, and some are more radical than others, but as a whole, the group will not even condemn terrorism."

Please educate me on what the Palestinian cause has to do with Wall Street bailouts.

Some people are as successful as they want to be.

Indentured servitude no longer exists on the planet.

Revolution is the "Voice of the Revolutionary Communist Party, USA." Real mainstream.

From the Wikipedia entry on the Cuban 5:

The Cuban Five, also known as the Miami Five (Gerardo Hernández, Antonio Guerrero, Ramón Labañino, Fernando González, and René González) are five Cuban intelligence officers convicted in Miami of conspiracy to commit espionage, conspiracy to commit murder, and other illegal activities in the United States. The Five were in the United States to observe and infiltrate the Cuban-American groups Alpha 66, the F4 Commandos, the Cuban American National Foundation, and Brothers to the Rescue, as well as the US Southern Command.

Real mainstream.

Charlie Sheen was in Chicago last night? He wasn't watching the World Series? Winning!

There he is! The Wall Street banker they've been looking for all these weeks! Notice the green arm band--does that mean he was arrested last night? If so, mission accomplished. Go home, then bathe.

You've won.

There's just one problem. Occupy Chicago and Occupy Wall Street are not movements--they are an amalgam of various extreme-left causes.
