Occupy San Diego has moment of solidarity with White House shooter.

Wait. What?[*]

(For those without video: it’s a San Diego Occupier calling for a moment of solidarity with the guy who had shot at the White House.  Said guy had been (apparently erroneously) linked to the DC Occupiers.)Via Sister Toldjah.  You know, I have a problem with people firing guns at the White House, no matter which political party’s occupying it. I suspect that, oh, ninety-nine percent of the population of the United States of America has a problem with people firing guns at the White House. But it’s like the Occupiers… it’s like they’re missing key parts of the Western civilization source code, you know what I mean? Forget right and wrong: they don’t seem to have memorized that part of the rules that somebody or other once called Do Not Attempt To Eat That Giraffe.

I sometimes wonder how much collateral damage the Occupiers are going to cause when they finally explode.

*[UPDATE] Heh.  Just noticed the last two words in the Verum Serum title.  Well, it’s a pretty standard reaction to that kind of nonsensical, banal evil.

    A couple of hours ago I had to change venue for a dinner meeting because it was planned for 7pm tonight in the Union Square area of Manhattan, and I heard those mindless, disruptive jack-ss a–holes were blocking stuff or at least trying to block and disrupt as much as possible, including streets and subway stations.

    And they are apparently getting increasingly aggressive (removing police barricades and proceeding unlawfully) and even violent against police.

    I have a feeling if they get in my way at some point I might end up in trouble because if they block me I’ll shove, and if they shove back I’ll punch. It’s my city too, da–it!

    There are exceptional cases in which civil disobedience is at least arguably justified. I think I’d probably consider some of the 1950s/60s civil rights civil disobedience justified. So it’s not an absolute, but it IS a judgment call subject to some reasonableness. These people have no clue as to what the problems are, no clue as to what solutions they want, and insofar as they have even a vague idea of what they want as outcomes and some very vague ideas of policy direction to get there, they have absolutely no practical sense of the likely effects of such a policy direction. They are just a bunch of loud, intrusive, obnoxious idiots who are angry and throwing a tantrum.

    I’m off to my meeting now, probably away from those idiots. But I half want to come across them and for them to get in my way.
