Occupy Vancouver degenerating into violence and drug use

Contrary to Occupy propaganda, the protesters do not represent 99% of the population, since 99% of the population is comprised of people who work for a living, don’t routinely take or overdose on drugs, don’t physically threaten anyone and, since they are busy earning a living to support themselves and their families, don’t have the time for extended self-indulgent posturing in a tent.

From here:

Tempers flared at the Occupy Vancouver encampment Thursday morning as one person was taken to hospital suffering from a drug overdose.

The unconscious victim was first given medical aid by paramedics with Occupy Vancouver, said Vancouver Fire Chief John McKearney.

Some media covering the overdose were subjected to threats by those living in the tents on the lawns outside Vancouver Art Gallery.

CKNW reporter Charmaine de Silva said she was “physically threatened” while covering the breaking story.

  1. Samizdat was the clandestine copying and distribution of government-suppressed literature or other media in Soviet-bloc countries. Copies were made a few at a time, and those who received a copy would be expected to make more copies. This was often done by handwriting or typing.

    Anglican Samizdat, on the other hand, is a news aggregator site with the odd word of commentary thrown in here and there. Please give us more original content. You seem to be losing interest in your blog.

  2. Then I suggest you relieve yourself of the burden of reading it.

    Unless you are a masochist, a not improbable supposition considering out of the last 15 comments, 8 were made by you.

  3. Actually, I owe you a debt of gratitude – and have been remiss in not expressing my thanks much earlier. Because I can rely on you to take a lopsided approach to all issues (ostensibly for the sake of satire and humour), your posts have stimulated me to investigate issues that I otherwise might have ignored. My knowledge and understanding of these issues have improved as a result. For this I thank you. You’ve made me a better person.

  4. Sorry Warren.
    Now I get it, you were just saying you owed David “a debt of gratitude” for the sake of satire and humour.
