Protesters in Zuccotti Park may be free spirits, but they’ve decided they need some rules all the same.I guess all those sexual assaults are becoming a bit of an image problem, huh? Frankly, why would these people start respecting anyone or anything when they clearly don't even have any self-respect? But look out now: Whatever you do, don't hurt anyone's feelings.
And if you dare break them - you’re out.
The group has formed its own security detail to enforce a code of ethics mapped out during their general assembly meeting Monday.
“If you want to be part of our group, you have to be civilized,” said Paul Isaac, 45, who is part of Occupy Wall Street’s security team. “Unfortunately, some people come to disrupt the peace.”
The list includes rules against stealing, sexual harassment and hurting others - including their feelings. The group also put a ban on fuel, weapons or drugs in the park.
“Basically, we want people to respect one another,” Isaac said.

OWS Institutes Ban on Hurting the Feelings of Others: 'If You Want To Be Part Of Our Group, You Have To Be Civilized'
Um, it's a little late for a call for civility, isn't it? Maybe they should have tried setting up some rules before the "occupiers" started crapping and peeing on the streets six weeks ago. They supposedly have 79 committees set up, or roughly one per protester. Clearly the Civility Committee was never one of them until today.
But if u get raped keep ur mouth shut.

ReplyDelete...That's gonna make things interesting as the temperatures drop further.
THIS COMMENT HAS SURELY BEEN TAKEN OUT OF CONTEXT. I COULD GIVE A RATS ASS ABOUT HURT FEELINGS, ITS THE RAPES AND ASSUALTS I LOOK FOR. IF YOUR FEELINGS GET HURT YOU NEED TO RUN HOME TO MOMMY AND DADDY SO THEY CAN TUCK YOU IN AND SING YOU A LULLABY WITH COOKIES AND MILK.
