You Can't Fix Stupid

[Matilda]

The police thought they would end the Occupy movement by force in Oakland, take out the hippies. All they did was enrage EVERYONE and maybe someday the police of Oakland will realise that these kids were also fighting for them.

The police are the 99%. They have suffered draconian budget and personnel cuts and are asked to do far more with less resources. In Boston, the garbage collectors returned all of the protestors’ belongings they were ordered to haul away in trucks after police dismantled their camp saying, “hey, we’re also the 99%.”

Now, as in Egypt, the Oakland Police have awakened the people. Just as in Egypt, fear died last night and one can only hope this young man is not the Occupy movement’s first real martyr.

Now though it first gets very ugly because you truly can’t fix stupid.

1. "enrage EVERYONE" ... you forget ...

despite all the RWers appearing in the "liberally-biased media" and the MSM falling over themselves getting RWers on, the "media is liberally biased" ...

funny, since we don't control the "media" ...

and the media will end up focusing on the screwups from "the left" ...

Oh, and another point ...

The TEA Party claimed that Lib disrupters infiltrated the TEA Party events ... the big "disruption"? The TPers claim that the libs made the misspelled signs ...

I would NOT be surprised if the "trashed parks" and "violence" were done/started by RWers "infiltrating" the OWS movement ...

2. I can usually out-think stupid

but batshit crazy takes a little longer.

On the other hand, I'm not bullet-proof, and most people aren't.
