Don’t know what more needs to be said to the Occupy folks about the 1st Amendment … it does not guarantee immunity from prosecution for tresspass.
I would rather argue to abolish the body of ordinances “malum prohibitum” than waste any more energy on the behaviors of the Occupiers.
Build a barricade around the Occupy encampments, call it Coventry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Send_to_Coventry), and let them wallow in their filth and experience the complete consequences of their lifestyle.
Regarding the storm troopers … HOW many armed thugs are required to rout and subdue a handful of anemic college age kids?
The lines of Centurions beating on shields with batons evokes images of an MGM production of the Roman legions clearing peasant rabble from a barbarian village.
So, both wrong and neither likely to achieve redemption in their current lifetime.
Comic relief: one LEO held his riot shield with POLICE upside down.
I already had the same conversation with my wife. The militarization of the police shown here is the top down, bottom up, inside out policy outlined by Van Jones. If anyone doesn’t think the same thing would not happen to people standing up for the Constitution, think again. I helped organize multiple protests and rallies in Raleigh, NC. I ALWAYS made it a point to talk to the police at these events.
The police would either talk with me or talk down to me: about 50-50. But the bottom line was always the same: they may agree with our message but they would follow orders: Raleigh police and Capitol police. Based on my experience with law enforcement, we are in trouble when the SHTF.

things are bad enough for them to refuse to follow orders; that day is coming, though
Two sides wrong will never make either right.
