Remember when people were freaking out over the Patriot Act and Homeland Security and all this other conveniently ready-to-go post-9/11 police state stuff, because it would obviously be just a matter of time before the whole apparatus was turned against non-Muslim Americans when they started getting complain-y about the social injustice and economic injustice and income inequality and endless recession and permanent unemployment? That day is now, and has been for some time. But it’s also now confirmed that it’s now, as some Justice Department official screwed up and admitted that the Department of Homeland Security coordinated the riot-cop raids on a dozen major #Occupy Wall Street demonstration camps nationwide yesterday and today. (Oh, and tonight, too: Seattle is being busted up by the riot cops right now, so be careful out there.)

ReplyDeleteSo are you saying that prior to 9/11, the FBI couldn't call local police and say, "hey guys, a bunch of you show up at the crack of dawn in your riot gear and look real scary and tell them they are breaking laws that are already publicly on the books"? Wow this is crazy man!
ReplyDeleteTheir time just ran out....Thanksgiving, Black Friday and the Xmas shopping season starts next week. No one wants to see, hear or smell them while enjoying the holiday season.
