That’s not a joke headline. It’s a simple statement of fact. No matter how stupid and violent the Occupiers get, they’re still capable of surprising me with their stupidity and violence.
Occupy San Francisco’s “Day of Action” turned violent Friday night when protesters occupied an abandoned hotel and began throwing objects at police officers from the roof, police said.
“Once they gained access [to the hotel], some of them made it to the top of the roof and they then began to throw bibles down at the officers,” San Francisco Police Department spokesman Carlos Manfredi said.
“One of officers was struck with a brick to the chest and one of our lieutenants was struck in the hand with an object and may have damaged or even broken his hand,” he said.
How many police officers have Tea Partiers assaulted? How many bones have they broken? It’s probably a lot, considering they’re such awful terrorists and hostage-takers and whatnot. Could somebody get a number on that for me?
Just imagine if the Occupiers threw Korans at the cops. Then it’d be big news. Why, just the threat of burning a Koran was the top national story for days. The fate of the entire nation was hanging in the balance or something. But there’s none of that this time. It’s just a bunch of dumb Bibles.
It’s a moot point anyway. The Occupiers wouldn’t dare blaspheme against people who might actually retaliate.

P.S. Meanwhile, back where it all began:
There’s no longer room at the inn at a Manhattan church that’s sheltering Occupy Wall Streeters after a holy vessel disappeared from the altar last week.
When the Rev. Bob Brashear prepared for Sunday services at West Park Presbyterian Church on West 86th Street, he noticed parts of the bronze baptismal font were gone…
In Brooklyn, at another church housing OWS protesters, an occupier urinated on a cross, according to Rabbi Chaim Gruber, who has angrily abandoned the OWS movement.
Brashear has given the Occupiers two weeks to clear out. Gee, is that enough time?
