You think the cops’ pepper spray was bad
Wait until these idiots encounter a soccer mom hopped up on Starbuck’s at 5 in the morning looking for a good deal on a Lalaloopsy Silly Hair Doll:
Some demonstrators are planning to occupy retailers on Black Friday to protest “the business that are in the pockets of Wall Street.”

I predict instead of chanting f… the police, they will be screaming “HELP, police.
And forget the MSM, the story about #OWS will spread across the nation one text message at a time.

It’s gonna hurt when the soccer mom rips your dreadlocks out by the roots!
November 23rd, 2011 at 12:53 pm
I suspect they won’t be doing this in front of the Bass Pro Shops.
November 23rd, 2011 at 12:54 pm
I talked about this earlier today – protests lose their edge when you move from your intended target to ‘the general public’.
Suzy Soccer Mom might be sympathetic to their vague notions of… whatever they are protesting, but get in the way of her picking up the last American Girls Beauty Kit and she’s going to turn on you faster than Obama on an old pastor.

I see they’re planning on blocking Wal-Mart on Black Friday. That’s like standing between a wounded gazelle and a pride of hungry lions.
November 23rd, 2011 at 1:24 pm
I can almost see the logic in listing Wal Mart since they are the biggest retailer in the world, but Dollar Tree? They seem the opposite of the face of Wall Street.
I predict that the police will be called at one of these locations before the store opens this Friday, provided the Occupy protesters can drag their oppressed asses out of bed early enough to get there that early.

“to either occupy or boycott retailers that are publicly traded” – WTF? WHO ISN’T? Maybe they should to either occupy or boycott MEDIA retailers that are publicly traded, like CNBC. BASTARDS.
I’m getting really fed up with the Media’s use of these idiot-tools as their proxy-army that allows them to continue the unrelenting spewage of Marxist hogwash.

Those black Friday shoppers are a fan of the old fashion trampling.
That hurts a LOT more than pepper spray and the effects last a LOT longer!

Go to YouTube and search for WalMart Black Friday.
People regularly go to the hospital because of riots over Crock Pots and pillow cases. These are the kinds of people who videotape each other climbing the counters at McDonald’s and beating the cashiers with improvised weapons.
Whether or not the protesters have a point, they’re going to wish they’d stayed home.

If Apple Stores had been on the list of the Top 100 Retailers, whould they have protested there?
November 23rd, 2011 at 1:50 pm
Starbucks is on the list. I will be somewhat impressed if they protest at their own trough.
November 23rd, 2011 at 1:52 pm
And I missed it! Apple Stores is on the list! :Popcorn:

The Occupy XYZ crowd moves into suicide missions.
November 23rd, 2011 at 2:59 pm
The thing is, Robb, the general public is the intended target. They just don’t want to announce that.
November 23rd, 2011 at 3:43 pm
Sounds like an excuse to shoplift to me. “I wasn’t shoplifting, I was just taking this merchandise as part of my protest against capitalism.” In solidarity with the rash of flashmob 7-11 robberies in Silver Spring, Maryland.

“And the Winner of this year’s Darwin Award for Best Imitation of a Kamikaze goes to…”

Yeah I think its gonna be ugly.I did the whole “Black Friday” thing couple years back with my girlfriend and I swore I will never do it again.It was madness I did however talk her into swinging by Lowes and got a good deal on a air compressor.I heard rumors of them messing with the “Thanks Giving Day Parade” Man I hope they don’t mess it up for the Kids.

Screw ridiculously low prices on consumer electronics. If I could be promised a ringside seat for The Great #OWS vs. SoccerMom Throwdown of 2011, I’d happily be camped out in the local Wallyworld parking lot with a bottle of Scotch and a video camera.
November 23rd, 2011 at 4:56 pm
Blocking Wal-Mart and Dollar Tree on the biggest shopping day of the year? Try that in the south and learn the definition of the word “trample”.
November 23rd, 2011 at 9:23 pm
I just went to Kroger, on the day before Thanksgiving. The thought of Wally world on friday makes my pinky-toes twitch in terror. Even the parking lot sucked.
November 24th, 2011 at 12:03 pm
Mess with Black Friday? Bitch gonna get cut…
November 25th, 2011 at 8:12 pm
I went to the range and celebrated “Black Rifle Friday” instead.
