LOL @ you. Does speculating make you feel better about being a lapdog?

Lapdog ? Because I can postulate about where you would find more former Marines based on my own experience as a veteran ? And you can insult me and assume you understand my position on this based solely on a statistical query ? Normally I find you somewhat amusing. Lately, not so much.

Good point Devil Dog.

The left loves to honor GI's when the small and I mean small handfull that leans somewhat or full on left show up to the party. Ignoring the fact that most in the service and trigger pullers especially lean pretty right.

They love to repeat about the Marine hurt but only give a shit about one hurt in combat if they can use it to further their childish "War is wrong" agenda. (Usually when it's a Republican admin. Press was kind a mute a few months back when 15 GI's were killed in Iraq where as if 5 got nailed durring Bush II it was all over the place. They also lied rutinly about what was going on over there)

Now these guys who serve yet lean left tend to still get my respect because they did show up for the game. Some found the game full of shit. Some probably were not of a mindset for it in the same place. (Why I think those that want to, as long as not crippled should get a chance at Combat arms. Fighting of all kinds is largly mental and emotional)

Some are true heroes, combat vets and whatnot but a large number the left holds up are REMFs and many are the guys who were bitching that they signed up for the college money and not for war.

Still if the protesters did not ignore a leave now order or go to violence themselves than the cops get an SS ribbon for being out of hand.

(The case in Maryland where the Cops dogpile and beat a kid just standing there comes to mind. Assrapes all around for those pigs.)

If they ignored such and order or started throwing shit than IMO the cops can start smashing skulls, using gas and whatever it takes to uphold some order.

Scott Olsen is the Marine Corps veteran critically injured at Occupy Oakland Tuesday night, during a confrontation between the protesters and the police. The latest news is good: his condition has been upgraded from critical to fair and he is apparently conscious and able to respond to doctors and family members. I sincerely wish him a full recovery, and I also hope that a proper investigation is conducted to determine whether police misconduct is responsible for his injuries.

But I ran across something this evening that may add a new dimension to this story. It has been widely reported that Olsen is a member of Iraq Veterans Against the War. But apparently his opposition to the U.S. military and the Marine Corps in which he served runs a little deeper.

The site is no longer live, but Olsen was the founder of IHateTheMarineCorps.com, a private user forum apparently dedicated to bashing the Marine Corps.

A Scott Olsen is listed as the registered owner of this domain, and I was able to confirm that this is indeed the same Scott Olsen based on a user profile on the fundraising site pledgie.com.

Compare the image above to Olsen’s profile on Facebook – it’s definitely him.

Using this information, I also uncovered a comment from Olsen on the Yahoo Answers site from last year where he is highly critical of the Marine Corps:

The Marine Corps thrives on its image. They convince young men and women that they’re joining a professional military organization. But that’s not the case at all, every Marine knows it, and most have no problem downplaying the bullshit to outsiders so they can protect their “beloved corps”. I noticed some of the other posters have told you not to pay any attention to my site because we’re just a bunch of ********* who couldn’t hack it, right? Maybe not hacking it means we saw through the bullshit and don’t want to take it. Maybe the brainwashing didn’t work on us. I’m not here to tell you if you should join or not. I’m here to advise you to take the people who visit my website just as seriously as anybody who tries to sell you the MC as a good thing.

My site is anonymous, these people don’t have to worry about hiding from the MC, or protecting the MC’s image or anything. It is unfiltered truth.
Source(s):
Former Marine, owner of http://www.ihatethemarinecorps.com

We are still digging to for any other relevant information, so stay tuned.

Update: There are some pictures of interesting foliage and other paraphernalia on his Flickr account. Go figure: the guy being held up as a war hero by OWS is a pot smoker who hates the Marines.

Then there is this:

I was talking to my 1stsgt regarding a pending adsep since i had been accused of using cocaine. Anyway, when we were done talking, he used as a parting greeting “stay marine”. He clearly didn’t think that one through. It was no secret that I couldn’t wait to get out and on top of that, the MC was trying to kick me out. I was going to bust his balls over it, but I went and took a nap instead

See your post above re: "Look up implication"

Fat Cat · Post by **Fat Cat** » Fri Oct 28, 2011 9:06 pm

Implications are for weaklings, I will give it to you straight sweetness. You tried to imply that because there are Marines on the OPD that is somehow is alright for them to shoot a Marine in the face, which does not follow. Then you tried to get all indignant about it, which I satirized because you are behaving like a pompous clown. Now you, draff, and dux are trying to imply that because he was some kind of objector that maybe it's okay that the cops shot him in the face but you can all fuck off with that noise.

All I asked was where were you likely to find more former Marines, on the OPD or in the Occupy crowd. Simple. Never implied that it was OK to shoot anyone in the face. YOU are so used to trying to read between the lines that you can't accept anything at face value. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. Imagine that.
And I got indignant about the insult in your response, which I guess can be forgiven considering your obtuse interpretation of the original post.

I think there's video of the incident.
There is, from several angles.

The cops have yet to adjust to the fact that every single person in America pretty much has a video camera on them at all times now.
Too true.

However, it would help if there was adequate coverage of the falsehoods put forward by the police, such as the consistent denial that any flashbangs or sandbag/rubber pellets used, despite heavy video evidence and hospital admittance that says otherwise.

Damn that "liberal media" ...

You almost made it through without showing your vagina.

*i pretty much agree though

I have also, by hard work, unshakable determination and high goal setting worked to a point where I no longer need a higher income and can focus on creating good and fair relationships with my 12 employees, which I experience as way more pleasant than forcing every drop of money out of their backs. We have been working on something new for years and today must have been close to the 1000th time we tried it and it was one hell of a shitty day and people suggested that we give up already. I told them that I have never, ever in my life given up on something I know that can be done and we are not anywhere near the amount of testing Edison did before the light bulb worked, so we are definitely not going to stop.

And I wholeheartedly support everyone protesting against the bailouts of banks and greedy investors, even if they were all lazy pieces of shit. I don't have time to protest myself and I'm happy if they can do this for me, even if that's all they will ever amount to.

It's gonna get weirder.

It's a Mad Max future, either learn to kill over a half gallon of gas and eat Dinky Dog from the can or end up chained to the grill of Bat Boy's Fat Cat's or my car.

(Or shit will go on as it allways has. The normal fucked up looks not to bad sometimes.)

I have no problem with people being different and do not expect anyone to be like me. If someone wants to be lazy and go through their life as a vegetable (I know I enjoy that state of being from time to time myself), it will be their own (non)reward and nothing really away from me.

BTW, I don't think most of the people protesting about this are lazy at all.

Let me ask you a question: do you think that the current economic situation and it's causes are acceptable?

Let me ask you a question: do you think that the current economic situation and it's causes are acceptable?

What? That's crazy talk. The people you describe are people who are looking for handouts. People like you who make money and work hard pay for that entitlement spend. They take plenty away from you. Hard work is treating you just fine. It's treating me pretty well, too as it is my coworkers. In fact, in a few weeks, the ever-dwindling numbers of OWS'ers will be pretty chilly while my team is treated to three nights in Vegas in style for high performance. I'll be thinking of them while eating Kobe steak and drinking $20 bourbons, but I won't feel sorry for most of them.

Fatty points out speculation is for weaklings but this entire OWS thread is speculation since the purpose of the protest is a moving target. We don't know enough about the protesters, but if they're protesting during business hours and they don't have jobs, they should be out looking for jobs, so to that end, I'd speculate that there are plenty of lazy protesters out there.

There is a long time IGx'er whose profession was all but obliterated when the housing and construction markets crashed. Instead of bitterly sitting on his ass and waiting for the world to create a job for him, he got busy and went to work. Construction, sheet rock, cabling. He went out and took care of his family and in doing so, is doing his part to make the world a better place. Many more would be well served to adopt his mentality instead of bitching for handouts.

Of course the current economic condition is bad. The OWS thing is a waste of time, though, as above the age old arguments that lenders and money are the root of all evil, there is no real coherent message and there are certainly no solutions coming out of this. There is plenty of blame to assign and most of these protesters should look in the mirror when they're mad at the world.
