What is appropriate dance music for protesting a nasty rape and coverup?
Will folks have to bring their own pots and pans to bang on?
People love hearing pots and pans clatter, right?

How opportunistic of OCCUPY...
Any idea if they will be selling t-shirts?

Is that a problem? FailureToCommunicate Jan 2013 #23

Bravo! Fire Walk With Me Jan 2013 #39

A more appropriate name for the protest would be 'Justice For...' Um, whatever her name is. randome Jan 2013 #26

oh, azureblue Jan 2013 #31

Good point. randome Jan 2013 #38

It conveys that the powers that be in Stubenville wanted to sweep a heinous crime under the rug. bettyellen Jan 2013 #55

Which is why I said it was a good point to have pointed that out to me. randome Jan 2013 #61

Maybe you guys should do some research before spouting??? George II Jan 2013 #109

Um. I know all that. Why all the rape apologist spamming here? I'm embarrassed for you. bettyellen Jan 2013 #119

How can I be considered a "rape apologist"??? George II Jan 2013 #122

Maybe you should do some research before telling us to do some research Bjorn Against Jan 2013 #120

Read the post to which I responded, okay? George II Jan 2013 #123

I did read it, maybe you should read it Bjorn Against Jan 2013 #135

LOL. I understood it without any context right away. n/t Downtown Hound Jan 2013 #56

Amazing that anyone thinks an idea they fart out thoughtlessly is smarter than the Occupy movement. bettyellen Jan 2013 #67

You do know what 'IMO' stands for, right? randome Jan 2013 #79

humble opinion = fleeting thought you reject as soon as it's analyzed here? why bother posting? bettyellen Jan 2013 #80

That everybody has an asshole? tama Jan 2013 #84

Oh, a tag team now, huh? randome Jan 2013 #86

i actually think the OP had it wrong because the protest had been scheduled for tomorrow. bettyellen Jan 2013 #87

I'm glad someone answered my question. Thanks for that. randome Jan 2013 #89

It's only because you are obviously wishing the protest ill, that we seem to be at odds. bettyellen Jan 2013 #90

Here's a story link to a local station that also will be covering on-scene tomorrow: pinboy3niner Jan 2013 #91

But.......if you don't praise the sacred "Occupy movement" you're perceived on the opposite side.... George II Jan 2013 #146

What's "tag team"? tama Jan 2013 #88

One newspaper noted 800 - 1,000 protested Saturday suffragette Jan 2013 #171

I have no problem with support growing. Nor for keeping the pressure on the authorities. randome Jan 2013 #172

Occupy chose to support this and go suffragette Jan 2013 #177

And I see people who disagree tend to be those who have walked the walk, participated in protests bettyellen Jan 2013 #184

It's hard to marginalize people/movements when they keep rallying for rights and get noisy suffragette Jan 2013 #208

There IS no "Occupy movement", it's a hit and miss attention-getting stunt George II Jan 2013 #111

Trust me, Steubenville is well known now Tempest Jan 2013 #103

No fortunately. zeemike Jan 2013 #32

Who is 'they'? Anyone can say they are against the financial system. randome Jan 2013 #42

They is anyone who says they support Occupy movement or is in it. zeemike Jan 2013 #64

It's been 4 hours now. Has 'Occupy Steubenville' done anything? randome Jan 2013 #66

They turned my head Bjorn Against Jan 2013 #74

Anonymous leaked the video. Congratulations go out to them. randome Jan 2013 #78

You know that the local officials tried to cover it up, isn't that good reason to protest? Bjorn Against Jan 2013 #81

and the local media has been lax in reporting this also. Another great reason to protest! bettyellen Jan 2013 #83

Totally false - the reports were in the newspapers when they heard about it. George II Jan 2013 #199

How have they tried to cover it up? George II Jan 2013 #162

You know the local police said they have no evidence before a blogger publicized the easy to find bettyellen Jan 2013 #166

Don't know what reports you were reading, but here is a newspaper article.......... George II Jan 2013 #198

you believe people involved in a coverup would say anything else? I doubt it. bettyellen Jan 2013 #201

That is the FOURTH insulting post from you, all just simple-minded one-liners with zero substance... George II Jan 2013 #207

Again the idiotic "rape apologist" insult since I dare to disagree.......... George II Jan 2013 #209

So I take it that................ George II Jan 2013 #173

Those who organize get to take credit for organizing Bjorn Against Jan 2013 #34

I did do something useful. randome Jan 2013 #41

Wow, what commitment you have Bjorn Against Jan 2013 #45

This isn't a contest. randome Jan 2013 #47

Hence your (at best) benign solution. LanternWaste Jan 2013 #72

You are right, there is absolutely no contest Bjorn Against Jan 2013 #73

Like what? George II Jan 2013 #112

All of the people who covered up the crime are still in positions of power Bjorn Against Jan 2013 #115

Covered up the crime? The two principles were arrested 11 days after it occurred.... George II Jan 2013 #154

The police admitted they had the video since the beginning Bjorn Against Jan 2013 #156

Typical...in other words, "my proof is there, now go find it"! George II Jan 2013 #163

No more like I don't have time to answer five essay questions from someone who won't listen Bjorn Against Jan 2013 #178

It would take about 60 seconds to post the links to the answers, just as I posted........ George II Jan 2013 #200

This link would answer many of your questions Bjorn Against Jan 2013 #203

Your nasty comment notwithstanding, I've seen that before and I have read through some of it.... George II Jan 2013 #204

There was nothing nasty about my comment Bjorn Against Jan 2013 #205

"Somehow I doubt you will take the time to study it though"? George II Jan 2013 #206

If nothing else, secondvariety Jan 2013 #133

Because it seems more like a celebration of 'Occupy' than anything else. randome Jan 2013 #134

You have a point... bvar22 Jan 2013 #49

A rape in Steubenville, as horrible as that is, has nothing to do with an 'oligarchy'. randome Jan 2013 #57

Oligarchy: powers that be in Stubenville were allowing this to happen because they are entrenched in bettyellen Jan 2013 #63

THEY DIDN'T "ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN"! The trial of the perpetrators is beginning in a few weeks...... George II Jan 2013 #114

you haven't read shit about this case, have you. LOL bettyellen Jan 2013 #116

When does the trial for the people who filmed the rape begin? Bjorn Against Jan 2013 #117

Most likely shortly after they're identified. George II Jan 2013 #126

They already have been identified, they are on video. Bjorn Against Jan 2013 #136

Nah...actually, we just want to expose and annoy the phony progressive Third Way corporate ass Zorra Jan 2013 #51

So Occupy get's royalty payments for this? goodness. Eleanors38 Jan 2013 #94

Here's how "sincere" these organizers are.... George II Jan 2013 #127

Wow. randome Jan 2013 #132

Wow? you seriously think this is a valid criticism of Occupy? Bjorn Against Jan 2013 #140

I suppose that's the point, isn't it? randome Jan 2013 #142

Only if you believe nearly all political organizing is an opportunistic social event. Bjorn Against Jan 2013 #148

I see your point but the Democratic Party is not out to protest a cover-up. randome Jan 2013 #149

The protest is front and center, do you honestly think they are promoting this as a big pizza party? Bjorn Against Jan 2013 #150

You're right. No one suggested that until the Tweet was printed here. randome Jan 2013 #165

Yes, that is nit-picking. And pretty pitiful, too. Comrade Grumpy Jan 2013 #157

'Criticizing' equals 'despise'. Your own objectivity is sorely lacking. randome Jan 2013 #164

No, Occupy has made it all about them instead.... George II Jan 2013 #179

So you think it's proper to say.................... George II Jan 2013 #158

No that is not what they are saying at all, and you criticized me for lack of objectivity Bjorn Against Jan 2013 #160

So where is it then? George II Jan 2013 #161

Try Google Bjorn Against Jan 2013 #176

Maybe you should investigate whether Martin Luther King ever attended a barbecue Bjorn Against Jan 2013 #139

MLK never advertised free food and music to get people to the march, and......... George II Jan 2013 #141

I would be absolutely shocked if he never did that Bjorn Against Jan 2013 #145

So now you're comparing Obama's campaign events to this demonstration today? George II Jan 2013 #151

Yes I am, they are different organizations but they both involve organizing the community Bjorn Against Jan 2013 #152

Most advocacy groups offer refreshments at their organizing meetings loyalsister Jan 2013 #181

Exactly- DU had some serious parties in NYC and DC before and after protests, and they were GREAT. bettyellen Jan 2013 #192

Better than saying "Tea Party" if you ask me Taverner Jan 2013 #29

yes, not getting it either- what does this have to do with holding the banksters accountable? No Compromise Jan 2013 #35

Occupy is more than just holding the banksters accountable. SammyWinstonJack Jan 2013 #54

"Occupy" has no coordinated objective or strategy, just hit and miss tactics George II Jan 2013 #107

Occupy is about justice for the oppressed, and the Stubenville powers that be allow those jocks bettyellen Jan 2013 #58

You mean the jocks that have been arrested and charged, with more to possibly be arrested? George II Jan 2013 #108

feel sorry for the rapists? bettyellen Jan 2013 #113

WHO SAID THAT?? George II Jan 2013 #137

Yeah, just in the US. SammyWinstonJack Jan 2013 #53

It is if it gathers Occupy folks! Are you participating? nt Sarah Ibarruri Jan 2013 #69

Sorry, I can't make it today.......... George II Jan 2013 #110

So now you are comparing rape to getting a parking ticket? Bjorn Against Jan 2013 #118

It has nothing to do with "rape", it has to do with self-serving public displays by "Occupy".... George II Jan 2013 #125

This case is about rape, the fact that you put quote marks around the word is very telling Bjorn Against Jan 2013 #138

I was pointing out the lunacy of all these ad hoc "Occupy" demonstrations, I never commented........ George II Jan 2013 #143

I will read your posts objectively when you write objective posts Bjorn Against Jan 2013 #147

yeah.... loyalsister Jan 2013 #144

wrong. the case would have gone nowhere without the activists. and not a relevant agenda? bettyellen Jan 2013 #174

'Occupy' had nothing to do with the video being released. randome Jan 2013 #175

Occupy activists? loyalsister Jan 2013 #180

you think activist groups shld " be supportive of situations without being so noisy"? HILARIOUS. bettyellen Jan 2013 #182
