Peaceful female protestors penned in the street and maced!
 

While on a peaceful march near Union Square in downtown Manhattan, multiple female protestors were penned up in the street by orange mesh baricade, then maliciously maced.

The women were peaceful and unarmed. They were secured by barricade with an overwhelming police presence. And they were then sprayed directly in the face with pressurized mace...

Pepper spray and mace are not the same thing.

Not so tough now are they.

one day a mob of people will turn against cops and then you'll see it happening all over. i can't wait for those videos.

Sounds like Toronto During the G7

i was going to say some girls have a bad attitude but that would be wrong most girls have bad attitude

I don't see anything wrong?

In highschool we used mace the bumbs at night. Its actually quite fun. No actual harm really becomes of it. Electric Stunguns and smelling salts on the drunk/passed out ones can be fun as well.

Good times.

Free to be maced as well ...

Mace is a company that make pepper sprays,

They should have been beaten as well.

lock them away forever, they should know already that peaceful assembly is outlawed.

If they were black woman do you think they would have penned and maced them?

Now you're just being ridiculous.

It may well be a brand of pepperspray, but when you say you maced somebody or got maced, you're talking about chemical mace not a brand of pepper spray.

Much in the same way as you shoot somebody, not glock them.

Additionally, you have no idea what brand the police were using. To be specific you would say they got pepper sprayed. Saying it was mace is trying to elevate the level of outrage because real mace is a nasty fucking substance.

Look like lesbos

fucking pigs, this is not right

to "elevate the level of outrage"
hey genius stop mincing lame ass technicalities.
they penned a group of peaceful protestors and sprayed them.
end of fucking story.

sieg heil Gestapo

I can tell by most of your posts that you don't really have any substanial life experience so let me fill you in a little bit. There's a world of difference between pepper spray and mace.

Please just shut the fuck up already you moron. Thanks in advance.

why don't you eat a big bowl of dicks you fascist douchebag.

Just a quick look on Google gives the impression there is more to the story than what the YouTuber wrote. Imagine that.

What wait a second here. You mean just a few minutes of footage might not be representative of the entire incident? No that can't be right!!

i hope a bunch of those bums find you one lonely unarmed night.

good times.

The dykes should have been sprayed with semen that would really teach them.

a quick look on google reveals this-

which all conclude "The protesters were not violent at all, but a number of women were maced in the face with pepper-spray by police despite the peaceful nature of the rally."

so that pretty much tells the story unless you have some specifc articles which say differently.

:thumbsup

:winkwink:

Well, let's take a look at your first link:

The "Occupy Wall Street" protest, which is entering its second week, is a movement against bank bailouts, the mortgage crisis and Georgia's execution of Troy Davis.

Demonstrators are attempting to take over Manhattan's Union Square, emulating what Egyptian protestors did by taking over the main square in Cairo in anti-government protests earlier this year.

About 80 people were arrested as protestors marched through lower Manhattan yesterday. Police said the majority of arrests were made for blocking traffic.

Other charges included disorderly conduct and resisting arrest and one person was charged with assaulting a police officer.


Sorry, but your 40 seconds of video is not telling the entire story. :2 cents:

semantics. right wingers always love to deflect the reality by pointing to, in this case, whether or not it was pepper spray or mace.
not the point. point was peaceful protestors were attacked by the goon squad.
but hey, all that "right to assemble peacefully" doesn't mean squat to real amerikans;)

I guess you think free speech means being able to yell "fire" in a crowded theater as well.

and as i just said "the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances" doesn't mean anything to real amerikans;)

it's just that damn constitution, piece of paper really.

I forgot, that 40 seconds of video was a time lapse of the entire day, right? You do not have ANY idea what went on that required the actions that resulted, do you?

Yep, the goons arrested a woman just for filming them roughing up a protestor. In public.
That is what they call "disorderly conduct."

So if me and a bunch of my friends decided to peacefully assemble in front of your house, blocking you from entering your house then the police should be able to come and ask us to move, but if we won't, too bad for you?

Your rights always end where mine begin. You have the right to assemble and demonstrate, you don't have the right to block my usage of a public street in the process. See how that works?

Of the event in question, all witnesses were saying the women were protesting peacefully and the cops attacked them. Do you think before that video clip the women were attacking the cops and they were just trying to defend themselves? :winkwink:

That will teach them to protest.

The riot squad should have been called

That is amazing. How were you able to talk to all the witnesses in such a short span of time? You have mad skills and should probably become a private detective or investigative reporter.

riot squad? i think it's time for the national guard;)

One of the largest irresponsible cluster fucks in US history, and it goes completely unpunished. However, the people protesting it block traffic, and the majority of them are arrested.

Love it. :thumbsup

Really? Were you there and saw how everything went down especially leading up to that point? Do you make it a point of buying into all the propaganda you view?

What I saw in that video was a protester attacking the cops. Can't tell from the video but from the size of the person etc, I would assume it was a woman. If she was part of that group that had been "penned" up, then it's not exactly a stretch to assume that the cops felt that some of the others could get violent if they were being as belligerent as that one probably had been. Anyone that takes part in a protest has to be prepared for the possible outcome if things get ugly and take responsibility for the fact that they put themselves in that situation knowing full well what could happen.

If you are going to petition the Government for a redress of grievances, wouldn't 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue or somewhere in Washington, DC make more sense than Time Square in NYC?

Oh, and if you are going to protest the bank bailouts and the mortgage crisis, how does an execution in another state fit into the equation. Go to GA if you don't like what they did. WTF did NYC residents do to get caught up in their bullshit?

Protesters who illegally block up traffic deserve everything they get and then some! People have places to go.

To digress a bit, many years ago, there was a protest near a nuclear power plant in which a protester laid across the railroad tracks seeking to block a very slow moving train with nasty consequences - even though the train conductor likely could have stopped in time, they didn't and hence the protester lost their legs...

Moral of the story is protest all one wants, but don't block up traffic.

If you were smarter then you would realize, as the law does, that anything that happened
before this was a separate incident and will be solely judged that way.

You would be the fool that reloads the gun and shoots the already shot robber that is
already flat on the ground 5 more times and gets a murder charge for himself.

They were getting in the way and taking up police time.

Fuck em'...

you're full of shit. no one was attacking the cops in that video and you know it.

Wow, what law school did you attend?

que the clockwork orange music.

I gave up trying to make sense of things a long time ago. I'm sure they have their reasons, even if I don't understand or agree with them. Maybe they didn't get a permit to protest in DC so they took it elsewhere. Who knows?


No idea on that one. That's an odd thing to toss into the mix of a financial crisis protest, and at that location. I'm assuming it was all the same group and not a couple of groups combined?

But regardless of all of that, my point was, the protestors got into more trouble than those who caused the financial crisis they were protesting.

It was 20 years ago. My money says they are all dead. But thanks for your kind words..

Wow.. Now isn't that interesting... Just watched the video again and everything up to that macing is gone.. the part where the guy is yelling police brutality etc. Propaganda at it's best!
