Federal Employees attack protesters and climb fences all in the name of getting to work

by and they could have had a 4 day weekend too
Lines of federal workers formed as antiwar protesters blockaded teh SF federal building. Most waited peacefully but a few ran at protesters and hit them. Other managed to sneak over the fence while the protesters were not watching.

Unlike most US workers, these federal employees get Monday off as a holliday. Its hard to believe how desperate many of them were to get to their jobs.

These well-dressed parasites are not members of the workingclass at all. They are the well-paid lawyers, government functionaries, officials and administrators. They get all kinds of time off and are not impressed by a measley 4-day weekend. They also get good pay and benefits, courtesy us taxpayers. They are proud promoters of the warfare, capitalist state.
by Sam B.
Did you not realize that your anti-democratic ideology has already been swept into the dust bin of history, socialist?

You might do better on an unpopulated island where you can practice your totalitarinism, don't you think?

I think 'Socialist" optimistic outlook on life is the drawing card for me.

Better off on an island? BS the USA doesn't leave anyone alone on this world. If there is a market then you bet US troops will open it for their bosses.

These are FEDERAL emplyoyes in the pictures... The form of State Socialism one saw in the USSR (as opposed to less authoritarian forms of Socialism most people now support) looks like a country where everyone is a FEDERAL employee.

of course the USSR was a nondemocratic State Socialist country and even the people who support State Socialism these days would want some form of democracy. BUT the US isnt really a democracy with that last stolen election so....

Glad you're all having fun with your delusions.

I noticed how sad those federal employees all feel for you. It's hard for them to understand why you all don't get an educational and grow up.

As the great social and political satirist Barry Crimmons once said after receiving the spit-filled vitriol of someone who didn’t agree with his jaundiced view of America and asked Barry, “Oh yeah? If you don’t like America so much, why don’t you move to another country?”: “Because, I don’t want to be victimized by its foreign policy.” As quoted in Vice magazine: http://www.viceland.com/issues/v9n7/htdocs/my_america.php

These 'fed inside' are sure earning their payola today as evidenced by their attention to their work. The only reason these other folks are 'desparate to get to work' is that they won't get paid for Monday if they don't clock in on Friday. Notice the fear in their faces. Who do you suppose law enforcement are paid to protect and serve? And some body please tell me how it is that the States swear in 'peace officers' and then the feds are allowed to turn them into 'law enforcement' Who IS being served?
by Sam B.
Take this blantantly ignorant post by one McD who asks increduously, "Who do you suppose law enforcement are paid to protect and serve?"

Why obviously, to McD., it should be all those anti-democratic children who are determined to break the law by preventing employees from going to work.

Gosh, and the more the Children of the Street break the law, the more law enforcement should let them.

Don't you love the Left's logic, Sheepy?

Sheesh!

There never have been that many street kids at SF protests, but if there were Im sure they would be alot more militant.

Sam B, since you obviously dont have a job or a life, why dont you try real human interaction and go outside and try to argue your crazed views with some of the street kids in Boston. You seem to be on here every day and all day, why dont you stop spewing bullshit and get a job like the rest of us. You might find that working for a living changes your politics.

That this IS his job?

by look at his post times
If you do a search on Sam B, you swill see he posted his first comment today at 1:54PM Boston time and his last post last night was at 7 PM Boston time. Ok its a weekend and he has no life so... but then look at the post times during the week. They are all in the afternoon too during normal work hours.

Sam B seems to have appeared on this site following that Bump of Truth post and probably found the site through the WSJ's link. His name was taken from a couple left wing posts at the time so its not something he would use on any other sites.

But he does have a way of talking you could probably identify from other sites and from that one could probably figure out his name, phone etc.. .

Assuming he found this site when he was angry over that bumper sticker thing I would look for people who sound like him on the sites that complain about sf indymedia.

Anyway, hes not that bad of a troll since all he does really is whine, but unlike some of the previous rightwingers he also rarely really argues so its kinda annoying having his rants fill up every comment section. Perhaps if he gets annoying enough someone could email the editorial staff and tell them to block him?

Thanks for confirming my points for me.

No point in being democratic when you can be anti-democratic and "militant", is there?

BTW, you missed the point that the Children of the Street are adults behaving like children. Their pictures have been posted in this forum quite frequently, the ones being arrested for violating the individual rights of others, breaking the law, beating drums, dancing, etc.

The ones who actually don't work for a living.

Seems I have a post four minutes after you.

What does that make you?

I guess you don't like the fact that I point out unpleasant facts to the Left that they don't want to face, that you can't stand that I point out the undying hypocrisy of the Left, nor do you like the fact that I point out that union members making threats to kill people on Indymedia is sick.

No, I can see how you might not like any of that, because free speech to the Left is, after all, only that which it wants to hear.

A good example is the fact that rather than ignore me or rebut me, you would rather find out my address and phone number - we'll let you explain what you would do with that information; maybe you'd send a union goon my way - and shut me up. But to let me exercise my free speech, no matter how it irritates you, no way, right?

What better example of the nature of what I am pointing out about the Left here than your post, hmmm?

Considering I post far less than you, you must be making a lot more than me. Also, I'm not a union guy.

hi sam...its sad to see you froth...the war machine is munch, munch, munching away..our court appointed and army deserting president (http://www.gwawol.com) and his
"democratic" advisors are frothing just like you..the hunt for oil is on...the coup has past ...and all you can think about is these good natured people obstructing govt. employees non violently? I am a PROUD govt. employee.. I perform in emergency situtions..put my life in harms way for the people of this country..I like to be reminded that there are dark decisions made by my employer...coporate lords need to know their dominance is not supported by the mojority (thats right MOJO)..I support non violent obstruction tactics...I watched it work in seattle at the wto....until of course the sheriffs dept.. opened fire with rubber bullets..total lack of profesionalism. SO peacful obstructers...employed and unemployed..thats what your all bent out of shape about?
what about the economic/social/enviornmental obstruction performed at all ends by our current administartion? what about the violent and unilateral view that we the good nation of america are transmitting to the world? and what about the obstruction of the truth to you and I about the true reasons the bush crime family will wage war?
