Occupy Protests’ Ironic Legacy: More Restrictions on Protesters

By Frank Shyong, Los Angeles Times

December 6, 2012

Life was upended briefly in affluent San Marino last year when a hundred or so Occupy-style protesters staged a demonstration on the lawn of a resident Wells Fargo executive.

The police chief declared the city’s 28-member force “overwhelmed.” So city leaders passed an ordinance that required protesters to stay 75 feet from the curb of targeted residences. Then they tightened parade permit requirements and added a measure to allow police to move obstructing protesters off sidewalks.

By the time they were finished, the only place left in San Marino where protesters could demonstrate without a permit was the median of Huntington Drive, a 60-foot-wide grassy space that runs through the center of the city.

So you can only protest if you are unassuming and docile? What the fuck?

If you're nasty and hostile to the cops, you can expect the hammer to come down on you.

When does the 2nd amend solution kick in?

Destro, that was needlessly antagonistic. If you think I'm wrong make a case as to why, don't just lob a grenade:

Grenade isn't actually a Warrior, per se, but it's an ordnance so widely employed that no Flame Warriors guide would be complete without mentioning it. When lobbed into a discussion forum Grenade instantly blasts civil discourse into smoking rubble. Grenade's explosive content can be adjusted to the forum's interests. Typical detonating materials can be Bill Clinton, George Bush, gun control, homosexuality, Reagan, abortion, taxes, conspiracy theory, the NEA, welfare reform, etc. When facing certain defeat a Warrior can stall even the most determined attack with a diversionary explosion. Grenade can bea particularly destructive weapon in the hands of Evil Clown, Issues, Troglodyte or even Weenie, but almost any Warrior can use it to gain a temporary strategic advantage. Eagle Scout has been known to throw himself upon Grenade to save the forum.

re: #6 Dark_Falcon

It is you right wingers that claim that when the govt becomes opressive the 2nd amend solutions come out - but when the cops crack down on left wing protests - you seem to defend govt crack downs.

So you right wingers let me know what triggers the 2nd amend solutions...
