Hmm..., this is new to me, and I go to school there. The people have been sleeping there since Tuesday anyway. In the beginning there were a few hundred, but over the days it started to trickle down. I walked past the MU/Quad area yesterday and only saw about 30 people, but this was in the morning around 11.

They should have beaten them while they were at it. This should be a time for cops across the country to just let loose on these liberal, hippie, tree hugging, spoon fed, handout taking, park masturbating, female raping, drug taking, Obama loving jackasses and flood the courts and internal affairs with so much paper work that not a single police brutality case would ever see the light of day. I want to see the working folks revolt. Either start throwing fists and go Galt on everyone.

I'm sure they were peaceful, but the Americans With Disabilities Act prohibits these sidewalks from being blocked.

I'm still outraged that a cop had the nerve to write me a speeding ticket just because I wasn't following posted signs. Can you imagine?

Fine, but don't be shocked when you get pepper sprayed because you refuse to move when told to do so. They can go be hippies looking for free handouts elsewhere.

You know what the problem? It's the pussification of this country. Remember back in the day when blacks protested? Police attacked them with fire hoses and German shepherds. Nowadays it's all sissy bullshit like pepper spray, rubber bullet and tear gas.

Our government should take Syria's advice and step it up and start shooting live rounds into crowds.

Actually, if you looked closely, it was PB guns, rubber bullets would hurt, much, much more.

The protestors were informed in writing earlier in the day that they had to vacate their tents.

Some chose to follow. Others, did not.

You have these young idiots who will refuse to comply no matter how nicely or legally you ask them to comply for the sole purpose of getting videos and images like this made. They want to provoke a reaction. That's why they do it.

The thing is, what is the Davis administration or government supposed to do? Listen to the demands of these people and then just follow along? That would be the tyranny of the few controlling the majority of citizens. I would bet you that you could get 10,000 Tea Party people to camp out in Washington DC for 2 months in the rain/cold/etc. if it meant Congress would negate Obama's presidency and force him to resign at the end of the 2 months stint. But, that wouldn't be ethical or morally righteous in a law-abiding nation.

Basically, just because a few people want something, doesn't mean a government of laws must comply no more how righteous or peaceful they think they are. That's what's especially annoying about these occupy folks. They think they're above the law and above reproach and that because they exist, we should be legally required to honor their wishes.

The Tea Party could easily generate 10x the crowd these hippies are getting. Except, the Tea Party understands the law and knows that you can't just setup shop wherever you want and camp out until your litany of demands are met.

To make this relevant to Slickdeals, if myself and four other people got together and decided to "Occupy" Bryantq's home until he made us all Admin Mods, who here would support such an idiotic move? No one.

What's up with that bleeding heart crap? Stupid useless farkers got what they deserved.

The only problem I have with using pepper spray is that you can't tell if they are crying because of that or just because they came to the realization that they are nothing but a drain on society and will never have anything to contribute themselves.

The police should have done their job and arrested the people blocking the path for breaking the law. If any of those people then resisted and got aggressive, then they could have been sprayed. Pepper spray is supposed to be used for defense or to subdue an out of hand suspect...which these people were not. Anyone that says anything otherwise is letting their politics get in the way of the facts.
