   I’m glad to see that some cities enforce their laws.

     Ahh, fascism is alive and well in America, who knew? Police suppressing free speech and the right of the people to peacefully assemble … hmm. Nothing new at all, really!

       No, they aren’t violating free speech, simply enforcing no camping laws, and public space use permits, etc. Do you people really think you’re above the law? You are the ones acting like fascists – trying to force your views on others by violating laws, trying to intimidate/occupy/storm banks, etc. Also, you have no right to damage public property.

   The redistributionist Marxist policies that Occupy desires have been tried in many countries and they fail. Zimbabwe is a perfect example. Check out Wikipedia to see how redistributionist President Robert Mugabe’s policies have turned out. Here are some excerpts:

   “Since 2000, the Mugabe-led government embarked on a controversial fast-track land reform program intended to correct the inequitable land distribution created by colonial rule.[6] The period has been marked by the deterioration of the Zimbabwean economic situation.”

   “Since 2000, GDP has declined by roughly 40% in part due to land reform and hyperinflation.”

   “According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), life expectancy at birth for Zimbabwean men has since become 37 years and is 34 years for women, the lowest such figures for any nation.”

   “When the United Kingdom once condemned Mugabe’s authoritarian policies and alleged racist attitudes as being comparable to those of German Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler, Mugabe responded with an extremely controversial remark, mocking the UK’s claims by saying about himself and his policies that ‘I am still the Hitler of the time. This Hitler has only one objective, justice for his own people, sovereignty for his people, recognition of the independence of his people, and their right to their resources. If that is Hitler, then let me be a Hitler tenfold.’”

   “Robert Guest, the Africa editor for The Economist for seven years, argues that Mugabe is to blame for Zimbabwe’s economic freefall. “In 1980, the average annual income in Zimbabwe was US$950, and a Zimbabwean dollar was worth more than an American one. By 2003, the average income was less than US$400, and the Zimbabwean economy was in freefall.[108] ‘Mugabe has ruled Zimbabwe for nearly three decades and has led it, in that time, from impressive success to the most dramatic peacetime collapse of any country since Weimar Germany’.”

   All you bashers need to post somewhere else. I’ve had enough of you abusive men. Are you all billionaires or millionaires? Their enablers? This forum should be used to provide moral support to those giving up the comforts you take for granted in exchange for possible harm during police riots.
