Thread: Rape just another reason the Occupy groupe are not like the Tea Party.

You could re-word the OP to say 'Just another rape at OWS protest' and it would convey the same idea.

Probably because the teabaggers would have broken a hip trying

But seriously, what do you want people to say? I'm seriously asking that question, what do you want people to say? When you get tens of thousands of people in the same place someone is going to do something stupid?

Especially when they're there for a prolonged period of time, with several overnight stays, etc, as opposed to just some one-day rally, where everyone goes home at the end of the day. Yes, bad shit is eventually going to happen. Hold a month-long 24/7 Tea Party "occupation", then we can compare apples to apples.

Yeah, it's just the way people are. C'mon, wouldn't we all go shitting on cars, spreading piss and blood around, and raping people if we had to gather like that? C'mon.

The stupidest thing I've done after occupying the same residence for 11 years is post on the internet.

Yeah, because that kind of stuff is happening at every Occupy location, every day, all the time.

And if you think there would be no problems at a month-long Tea Party event, you're kidding yourself.

Yeah, it's not like it's happening every minute. It's not a big deal. Like I said, you'd do it too. It's normal.

I wouldn't say it's normal, but it's not surprising. The Occupy movement is obviously attracting a lot of bad elements, and that's a shame. It's highly regretable that there have been rapes.. but realisitically, how many have there been? 4 or 5 reported cases, and I'm guessing another dozen unreported? You do realize that someone is raped about every 45 seconds in this counrty, right? Bragging that there have been no reported rapes at one day Tea Party events, in broad daylight, with no tents involved and no cover of night.. well, that's not really saying much. Like I said, hold a month-long Tea Party event, and see what shakes out.

I don't remember Rapes being in the tea party Protests.

Yeah these kind of things are happening everyday with this bunch. Never once did you hear anything bad happening at the tea party rallies. It's always these liberal protest events where all the violence occurs. Could it be the entitlement mentality of liberals?

Hard to have bad things happen when there are so few people that show up for a day.

Yeh, now the teapartiers wait until the demonstation is over, then they send out a "lone nut" to shoot a congresswoman.

Although I don't live in an area where criminal misfits gather in the streets for long periods of time, I frequent a place where there are idiots willing to defend them.

The "law and order" approach": Vilify hundreds of thousands based on the criminal acts of a few people. That is, unless they are other "law and order" types.
