Hmm, well, I didn't see any of that in the video, but even assuming that happened, how does it make sense to act demon possesed and crazy? I just don't get it. Oh, well man, I wasn't there so maybe it would have made sense "in context." *shrug*
Oh no..please dont take it as me trying to put you down. Context explains this video.
the occupy movement on wallstreet had already been infiltrated several times by the police when this video was recorded, many of them were pissed and talking smack to the cops for it. Midnight raids on an unarmed group to steal their supplies? You carry guns?! I have no weapons! I have my fists, which makes me a beast, and makes you a pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy.
do you understand it now?
Acting demon possessed, or insane is a tactic to instill fear in those who are more powerful than you. Talking nonsense can throw people off, make them hesitate, make them think twice.
I hope this helps explain.
The man in this video...he KNOWS he is alive.
I wish I had half the guts this man showed unarmed in front of armed tyranny.
I don't think you are putting me down.
This isn't about my failure to understand. I think I understand completely enough, I just dissagree with you. I don't think his actions were anything but an act of lunacy and I'm pretty sure they accomplish nothing. I have seen the data and understand that wealth is unevenly distributed, I just don't see how taking out my frustration on civil servents is going to right any wrongs or make any significant changes. Your claim that the cops have done bad things does nothing to support the claim that acting like a looney is warranted.
What I'm doing to bring about change in the nation is pulling my assets out of BofA and USbank and moving them into my local credit union. Not as sexy and punk-rock as calling people pussy and nigger, but at least my actions will send the appropriate message.
