Against Protestors By David Lawrence
I am not against protestors so much. There are some that protest peacefully a day or two then go home. The protestors I am against are ones like occupy, who don’t know when to go home, they think they have the right to disrupt others lives, vandalize property, murder, rape, etc. I don’t like what occupy stands for, social justice.
I hate protestors. Call me un-American. But I consider it ill-mannered to disrupt other people’s lives in order to promote the protestors’ clichéd utopian visions. Breaking windows or blocking people on their way to work does not further the spread of wealth.
Protests interfere with the economy and enhance the OCW’s own dread of the disparity between the rich and the poor. They want to be rich, they just don’t want to work or certainly work their way up. They are children in high chairs who don’t want to grow up and get their own food but cry and scream, “Feed me.”
When it comes to the anti-war marches, like the recent moronic NATO protests in Chicago, the angry do-gooders were using violence to protest violence which is, after all, violence.
They are angry criminals hiding behind the skirts of a cause. They believe that bogus philosophy makes mob behavior legitimate.
Look at the OWS crowd who protest labels like Wall Street and wealth but don’t know the dynamics of business or how enhanced-wealth trickles down to improve their lives. Protesting wealth is as useless as protesting talented people because they unfairly have more gifts than the pedestrian demonstrators. Maybe I should protest an Olympic pole vaulter because he was given more skill at jumping than me or Shack O’Neill because he was born tall and made millions at basketball. Maybe I should protest God because I wasn’t born his brightest angel—Lucifer.
Do we want the OWS protestors as our new leaders? They can’t even control themselves. There have been stabbings, shootings, rapes and public defecations at their gatherings. Bloomberg had to put up anti-rape tents at Zuccotti Park. These anarchists can’t even monitor a park more or less run a country and an economy.
Nowadays I see bearded old men, my age, in their sixties, demonstrating against Wall Street. These are the same disgruntled malcontents who protested against Vietnam back in the day. I was with them then but I’m not with them now. I protested against Vietnam not because I cared about killing Vietcong or creating a pacifistic new world but because I was afraid of getting shot or losing a leg. I was a coward. So are the cowards who protest with OWS because they are afraid to compete in the business world. They are not organized or bright enough to be successful businessmen. They only have the meager brain power to protest against what they cannot achieve.
I’ve seen protestors on television saying, “I wouldn’t take a job” or “Why work when
Obama’s taking care of us.” Of course he is, how else does he buy their votes?
