  • I think the Occupiers will be shocked at how little patience there will be for them if they try to upset the Christmas, oops, I mean, "holiday" business of the big stores.

  • Best possible scenario...Some angry shopping grandma whips the daylights out of an OWS protester and puts the OWSer in the hospital for a lengthy stay.

    • Notso, i respectfully disagree. rather best case scenario an old granny gets pushed about by these fleabaggers and she turns around and unloads her cwc .357 and blows the mf'er away. thus enshrining herself in the republican, American's for America hall of fame. of course ol' holder will want to try her for whatever, but then the nation will rise up in defense of this wonderful person and sack and ruin the current socialist administration.
      Golly, how i wish it were ows season.

  • Not to mention destroying the commissions of all the clerks who make a living that way working in retail, who are very much like the "99%" except they have jobs and clean clothes.

  • I make it a practice to avoid Black Friday. This year I may make an exception.
    My shopping list:

    Dick's Sporting Goods - a new shotgun or maybe a snub nose .357 (I'm thinking of getting a CHL)

    Home Depot - some more light bulbs, before the ban takes effect.

    Amazon.com - a copy of Blazing Saddles on DVD.

    OfficeMax - some pocket notebooks. I'm always losing these.

    Burlington Coat Factory - a new shirt would be nice.

    Neiman Marcus - I'll be in Amarillo that day, so this it out.

    Walmart - no way am I going to fight that crowd.

  • As I stated in another post , when the pro-lifers picket an abortion mill , they can be arrested and charged under the RICO act , as they are interfering with commerce. I am no fan of the RICO act , but just wonder where the DOJ is with their RICO police.

    • BINGO! This is clearly in line for RICO act. This is clearly not a grassroots, bottom-up movement. This is a worldwide movement, & it needs to be purged from polite society.

  • Those Fleabaggers really are crazy if they think they are going to get in the way of those crazed Black Friday shoppers, Can we say Trampled??

  • They best start praying for their lives now if plans are to take them across the path of my mother in law and wife out at 4 am Black Friday. They (occupiers) will be the S**t on the cop car tires if they do...Seattle stores if your lookin you dirt bags

  • I suppose I would part of the 1% on Black Friday. I refuse to venture outside of the relative safety of my man-cave on that day of days.
