    I would have gone, but I really don't want to be there if shit goes down. The last thing I need is a picture of myself getting beat up by cops.

    what about a picture of you beating up a cop? or maybe plank the portlandia statue?

    being there when shit goes down is the only reason I'd go to something so stupid.

    Planking the Portlandia statue would be quite an accomplishment. That shit is way up there.

    It's fantastic when a 20 year-old is organizing such an event. With that kind of rich life experience and deep world view, it makes for a perfect leader to find solutions to the problems of government and life.

    A liberal organizer told the Daily Caller on Thursday afternoon that he paid some Hispanics to attend “Occupy DC” protests happening in the nation’s capital.

    TheDC attended the protest event, an expansion of the “Occupy Wall Street” movement that began in New York City. Some aspects of the protest, it turned out, are more Astroturf than grassroots.

    One group of about ten Hispanic protesters marched behind a Caucasian individual from the DC Tenants Advocacy Coalition, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting rent control in Washington, D.C.

    Asked why they were there, some Hispanic protesters holding up English protest signs could not articulate what their signs said.

    Interviewed in Spanish, the protesters told conflicting stories about how their group was organized. Some said it was organized at their church, and that they were there as volunteers. Others, however, referred to the man from the DC Tenants Advocacy Coalition — the only Caucasian in the group — as their “boss.”

    TheDC asked that organizer whether he was paying the group to attend the protest, and he conceded that some protesters “aren’t” volunteers.

    I'm in favor of people going to protests, and believing what they say..but it wasn't until they started the interview with the guy with the gray jacket that I started to take it somewhat seriously.

    Once his interview ended, I started to feel like I was watching a bunch of hippies basically chanting crap at something, while smoking pot.

    Hell, with videos like this it's no wonder lots of people think they're misguided kids who are too lazy to work.
