UC Berkeley student assaulted for NOT joining OWS protest

UC Berkeley student assaulted for NOT joining “occupy” protest. The man asked the student if she was going to the protest on Sproul Plaza, and when the victim answered “no,” the suspect yelled at her. “People like you are the reason that California is in debt,” he said, according to the crime alert. We don’t know this fellow, but we suspect people like HIM are the reason that California is in debt.

  • Wow, she's lucky! I was asked if I was going to Occupy Cleveland and when I said no, he stabbed me with a syringe.

  • I can't even open Olivia's posts anymore. That level of nastiness and ignorance combined with an utter disgregard for any logic whatsoever is not possible to stomache any longer. How you guys do it, I don't know...

      What else is new? ;)

      • okay I give...had to open it just to see her response. Not sure when she has ever challenged me so not sure when I had a lapse in logic; can you please point that out Olivia? I have no further dignity to save; after opening your response when I said I wouldn't, you are right...my dignity is gone.

      • No, Olivia, we are all making fun of you. You've been coming here for a while, you say nothing original and yet you think you are flashing brilliance around here. You really are the perfect stereotype of a left wing idiot.

    • " finally "---- You shouldn't make fun of the morally impared folks in the world. It was the way they were born.

      By the way , when I open her responces , I pretend someone is vomiting on me. It makes it easier to take.

    • Like you I don't even read her post anymore, I tried this weekend and it was like having a conversation in an asylum with people who have been off their meds tooooooo long. I have another theory, she was picked up by aliens somewhere in the middle of the night and her brain was sucked out thru her anus as part of some weird medical experiment..:)

          Why do you lie to yourself?

  • Dam right. People like her should have the windows of their stores all smashed in one glorious night. Just before being rounded up and resettled in the East.

      • Krystalnacht?

        Well, at least OWS people aren’t violent, right?
        ********************
        My boy, only an ignorant jackass would try to compare somebody (allegedly) tossing a water bottle at a woman's cheek, with a tragic, government sanctioned attack on human rights like Hitler's Kristallnacht.

        Which is why I'm not surprised to find you trying to do so. Heaven forbid you far righters pass up an opportunity to whine and cry about being mistreated (even though no one's mistreated you), right?

        • DUMBASS! Don't you realize I'm replying to another comment? Nobody said it was happening, but the potential for violence is there with this crowd. Haven't you been paying attention?
          You are really reaching my bitch!

          That said, where is your outrage at some MAN assaulting a WOMAN? Or is that only reserved for leftist women?
          Oh wait! You don't seem to care about them either or you would have expressed outrage at the OWS women being raped, and the organizers urging them to not report it!
          I wonder if there is going to be an OWS baby boom in 9 months, or an OWS abortion boom in 2-8 months?

            Anyone (male or female) found guilty of assault should be penalized according to the law, Poopajoe.

            I find it rather incredible, though, that this hypothetical Hispanic man (allegedly) threw a water bottle at a woman, hard enough to bruise her cheek, without ANYONE witnessing the incident.

            For some odd reason, it brought to mind the story of that woman, back in 2008, who claimed an Obama supporter had carved a backwards B on her cheek, after noticing that her car had a McCain sticker on it.

            That story had some interesting irregularities to it, too----as well as no eyewitnesses. ;)

          • without ANYONE witnessing the incident

            Nobody witnessed Rebecca Schaeffer getting murdered either, but that doesn't make her any less dead.

          • Think, PJ, how much easier a crime would be to solve if liberals passed a law requiring every crime to be witnessed in order for it to have actually occurred.

  • Put a fence around Bezerkely. The whole dam place is full of crazies, left over hippies, dope smokers and others who suck on the government tit. If I have to drive to the bay area, I avoid Bezerkely at all costs and Oakland as well.

      I just love the silly and outmoded stereotypes you people fling around, to excuse your own ignorance and hostility toward those who don't vote as you do. (And, perhaps, in an effort to hide the ugly truth----that there are plenty of far righters, including some right here on this board-----who "suck on the government tit." I know it isn't fashionable for you dittoheads to admit it, but poverty (and, in some cases, indolence) isn't the sole domain of any one political party.

      • Yank your shit infested head out of your ass!
        Every story that comes out of Berkley is yet another confirmation of the radical leftist mentality that is pervasive there.
        The stories just keep writing themselves every day, and if they seem outmoded, maybe it's because the mindset of the people there is outmoded. They are trying to keep the 60's alive with stupidity and harassment of people that want something better.

          • For the umpteenth time asshole, I DON'T LISTEN TO RUSH, I LIVE OUTSIDE THE RANGE OF THE A.M. STATIONS THAT CARRY HIM!!! I also don't read his website. The only time I ever see or hear him is if there is a clip of him in a news story.

            Now, if you had the attention span of a hummingbird, you might have checked out all the news stories coming out of Berkley. There isn't one that doesn't feature some far left loon spouting ridiculous crap! You just might not recognize it because it's the same crap that's in your head.

          • There you go getting all hot and horny over Rush.....I bet you wish for a Rush/Olivia/Glen Beck Sandwich huh?

  • People "like" her? By left wing dimwit standards, in that context, hurling a terms such as "like" is bigoted. Nowhere is the old adage about mouthy pseudo-intellectual pots dubbing kettles noir more apropos than the lairs of elitist higher institutions such as UC Berkeley.

      Wrong. He's referring to the (alleged) fact that she (allegedly) CHOSE not to join the group, which has nothing to do with belittling or stereotyping who or what she IS. Sounds like somebody here is anxious to whine victimhood again....and I'm not talking about either the (alleged) can thrower or the woman who filed the report.

      There's nothing that amuses me more than watching a far righter parrot a term like "elitist," in reference to an institution of higher learning. My boy, didn't you realize that such talk is commie talk? Here in the good old capitalist U.S. of A., we're supposed to CELEBRATE those who, through their own hard work (and ability to afford the tuition) manage to get to college, or to graduate school, or even to become university professors if they choose.

      Evidence once again that the far right, which claims to love the idea of unlimited self-actualization for those who work hard enough, isn't as respecting as they pretend to be, of Americans who choose professional goals that THEY (the far righters) don't like or value. ;)

      • Olivia, you've become Charlie Brown's teacher, "Wuh-wah-wah, wah-wah-wuh, wuh-wah-wah, wuh."

        I hear your disrespect calling me your "boy" just in case you thought I didn't. Another pot calling kettles black. Just sayin'.

    • The individual always dies in the collective.
      *********************
      Nice attempt at histrionics, but, according to the report, the woman declined medical treatment and went on her way after filing the report.

      What amuses me about this hysterical right wing push to demonize OWS participants is the way you search for reports of possible bad behavior.....but totally ignore WHY the people are staging these rallies to begin with.

      I think it's also amusing that you ignore the fact that these rallies have "gone international." Apparently you're not comfortable admitting that these people might have some honest gripes----which is why you cover by making a lot of silly remarks about them needing deodorant, refusing to work, abusing IV drugs (surely the silliest accusation of all in a highly public place surrounded by police), and now abusing nonparticipants. ;)

      • Do you want to try again Ollie? Find me one example of a death of any kind at a Tea Party Rally. Find me proof of even one arrest. You can't. That is the difference between Tea Partiers and OWS children. We act in an adult manner and get our point across. Politicians are paying attention and scrambling to keep their jobs.

        What are the OWS kiddies getting? Nothing because nobody takes children having a temper tantrum seriously.

        "A woman at the Occupy Vancouver camp died Saturday after being discovered in an “unresponsive” condition, police say. A Canadian protest organizer said it appeared to be due to a drug overdose."

        "SALT LAKE CITY - Police have confirmed that a dead body of a man has been found inside a tent at the Occupy Salt Lake protest at Pioneer Park.

        Police say they received a call at 10:10 a.m. and immediately went to the park to begin an investigation.

        Chief Burbank of the Salt Lake City Police Department says the cause of death could be carbon monoxide poisoning from a propane tank and a drug overdose.

      • In the 90's , before South Africa fell to the neo-com's , there were folks that were using the issue of aparteid , to hide behind their cause. Swapo or the ANC would call for a work boycott , then the workers would be expected to participate or get " NECKLACED ".

        Necklacing was when they would bind someone's hands behind their backs , put a tire around their necks , fill it with gas , then light it. There was NO PUTTING the flame out , once the rubber began to burn.

        Somehow waterboarding is evil , while in the eyes of Oblvious and her kind , necklacing was exceptable , because "we are totally ignoring WHY the people are staging these rallies to begin with ." The end justifies the means , to your kind , DOESN'T it . Actually , ITS ONLY EVIL IF CONSERVATIVES DO IT .

        I remember all the reports of how Racist the Teaparty rallies were because of a sign that was planted or BECAUSE of the lack of black representation in the crowds. Oblivious , my eyes must be REAL bad , because WOW I don't see too many blacls at these rallies AT ALL. Oh , I forgot , ITS ONLY EVIL IF CONSERVATIVES DO IT.

        If Pro-life protesters picket a slaughter house ( Abortion mill ) , the RICO law sends them to prison , because commerce is being disrupted . Where are the RICO police at , during these work disruptions ? Oh , I forgot , ITS ONLY EVIL WHEN CONSERVATIVES DO IT !!!

        Oliva , how's that homosexual rape up at Penn State , got you and Keith O ( zero) feeling ? If you CANNOT condemn the rapes by your kind , as I previously brought to your attention , you must have a tingle up your leg. OH I FORGOT , ITS ONLY EVIL WHEN CONSERVATIVES DO IT .

          When did I ever make any statement here in reference to "necklacing"?

          When did I specifically refer to waterboarding as "evil"?

          Sounds like somebody's been hallucinating up a storm-----or, more likely, is just flinging a bunch of lies, and hoping that some of them might stick.

          Guess what? They don't. If you don't want to look like a total idiot, I suggest that you start responding to what I'm actually saying here, rather than some vague, pie-in-the-sky imaginings of what you WISH I would say. :D

          (By the way, what, exactly, is an "abortion mill"? Is "mill" Teabaggerese for a clinic? Do you refer to pediatric clinics as "pediatric mills"? Or eye, ear, nose and throat clinics as "EENT mills"? It's very bizarre, the way you people try so hard to spin people's perceptions with such bizarre doublespeak......)

          • Olivia:"what, exactly, is an 'abortion mill'?"

            An abortion mill is a building set up for abortionists to kill babies in a quick heartless assembly line fashion. I'm guessing pediatric clinics aren't called mills because the effort there is to improve the health of children, not scald them to death or dismember them. What's truly "bizarre" is how you compare an abortion clinic to a pediatric clinic.

      • If they were serious, then why aren't they protesting at the White House? That is where the guy that has been giving Wall Street a free pass, and showering companies with billions of dollars that they will never pay back resides!
        You don't seriously think Obama is going to risk pissing off his biggest donors now that he's in full finance mode, do you?
        Plus, why hasn't the MSM done more to investigate the source of payments to OWS people? They aren't working, and haven't left the site to go get their unemployment checks, yet they all seem to be flush with cash! The stories of Soros and SEIU paying protesters never surfaced on NBC, CBS, ABC, etc.
