It's a matter of opinion but worthy of the read for sure.

Today is the most discouraged I can remember ever being.
I did not expect that Halliburton/KBR/Blackwater would be the police force in the USA this soon.

I am sure that the "private security firm" hired by the owners of Zucotti Park is a KBR spawn, and if it isn't already, it will be this week.

And campus security? What with all those dangerous students sitting down, I'm sure KBR sees each college campus as a "market". They can point to the successful "business model" they've developed in Iraq to 'quell unrest'.

So it's come to this, quicker than I thought.
Sad irony that this country makes students go deeply into debt to learn a skill, but billions of tax dollars were given to Cheney and Co to learn how to beat and kill defenseless people fighting for self-determination.

I look back at the work I've done against police brutality and the prison industrial complex and it almost looks quaint.
I suppose if I was smarter, I should either get a job with Halliburton/KBR/Blackwater/whatever they are called now-- or buy stock in them.

Anybody want to get a bourbon?

i don't feel sorry for her. she should be outraged and she should be filing complaints with authorities and she should be organizing campus cops to protect the students from that ever happening again.

Yes, agreed. I said almost.

I doubt things went down exactly as she wanted but I don't believe the campus cops acted the way they did without believing that this is what was expected of them. While she's filing complaints she ought to file some against herself.
