Pepper Spray, Protesting and OWS

Over the past few weeks, the Occupy Wall Street (OWS) movement has spread across the country from one metropolitan city to another. The protestors are upset about the current state of our economy and have placed the blame incorrectly on the highest income earners in our country…the 1 percent.  

As a result they carry signs proclaiming to fight for the other 99 percent (usually without the benefit of appropriate hygiene). These Obamaville's have been problems for the cities involved because they have been trying to balance the right to speech against existing law and other people's right to use public spaces.

The movement itself is disorganized with no real message but apathy and entitlement. OWS and the students who subscribe to this philosophy want success given to them.  

Their argument is weak and America would have never survived with this moronic communal mentality.

Officials from across the country are finally kicking these parasites out of the public spaces but the costs are mounting. The figure is about $13 million nationwide so far and around $650,000 in Atlanta alone.  

Some protestors went peacefully and others got arrested as they were kicked out of their tent cities. Here are some thoughts and suggestions for the people of OWS:

1. 47 percent of Americans pay no income taxes...please change your signs.
2. Calling for boycotts on Black Friday will not help your job prospects.
3. The 1 percent hire people...think about it.
4. Take a bath.
5. If you decide to protest, the police tell you to leave and you don't...please be prepared to get pepper sprayed or hit with a baton. Don't whine about it.
6. It's not the cops' fault you got the pepper spray...you could have left. (Reinstate the UC-Davis officers and fire the Chancellor for throwing them under the bus.)
7. Don't be interviewed on TV/radio if you can't speak intelligently.
8. America is about the OPPORTUNITY for SUCCESS…not a GUARANTEE of success.
9. Thank someone in the military…they fight so you can occupy public places and spout nonsense.
10. Find your God-ordained purpose and participate in society with no expectation in return. 

America is great because we live in a society where failure is possible and actually healthy for our economy. Some of the most successful people in the 1 percent are products of multiple business and personal failures. You sit in the parks screaming about the end result of someone's achievement without any knowledge about their sacrifice along the way. 

Get up, get busy and see No. 4….America is an exceptional place for those who are willing to fight, fail and earn their success.
