1.) Occupy DC brings social justice through knocking down old ladies — On Friday night, a howling mob of Occupy DC geniuses stormed the Washington Convention Center, blocked traffic, hurt some elderly people, and kept parents with small children and a woman in a wheelchair from leaving. All because there was somebody inside they didn’t like. So where were the cops? TheDC’s Matthew Boyle reports: “Americans For Prosperity staffers told The Daily Caller that Washington, D.C. 911 operators hung up on them four times when they asked for extra police to help them deal with the Occupy DC protesters who stormed their ‘Defending the American Dream Summit’ Friday evening and some attendees suggested that the lack of police resources may have been politically motivated. AFP foundation’s director of programs Katie Engdahl said she called 911 to ask for more help in order to protect event attendees from the growing group of protesters outside the Washington Convention Center. Engdahl was the AFP staffer in charge of running the event, which the Occupy protesters swarmed on Friday night, most likely because billionaire investor David Koch was in attendance. Left-wing media have vilified Koch and his brother, Charles, for their donations to libertarian and free market causes… Engdahl said she called 911 in the middle of the show and told them the protesters appeared organized with a plan of attack as they had all the convention center exits blocked… ‘I said that I didn’t want it to rise to where we had a confrontation or other problems – and they hung up on me,’ Engdahl said, adding that she and other AFP staffers and volunteers had made at least four 911 calls from inside the convention center asking for help.” They were all hung up on. Meanwhile: “Dolores Brodersen, a 78-year-old woman who came to Washington for the summit with her Detroit AFP group, suffered severe injuries to her wrist, both legs and ankle as a result of the havoc raised by the protesters.” Well, they had a really good chant going and didn’t want to stop for some old lady writhing in pain on the ground. If Brodersen didn’t want to get pushed down the stairs, she should’ve thought about that before she attended an event that wasn’t Occupy DC-approved, right? Another elderly woman was also injured on the same set of stairs, and the peaceful, compassionate Occupy DC protesters helped out by… yelling at her. P.S. Was the inadequate police presence politically motivated? P.P.S. Oh yeah, and Occupy DC also used their own children as human shields. Nice. (more)
