'Occupy' Protesters Seek to Shut Down Ports

They will find that the line starts behind the California Air Resources Board, and the rest of the Ca. gov't. The Mexican super port will soon take care of those jobs Americans are no longer ALLOWED to do.

And so they wish to make themselves poorer by interfering with the international division of labor.

Good luck to them, the union thugs will beat them way worse than any of the cops did.

Yeah, now there's a strategy that really has a chance of working.  When those longshormen start losing their paychecks, there will be some quick and painful economic lessons for the occupiers.

Let's see....deprive drivers and dock workers of their pay.   So those people have less to take care of their family, will spend less at local stores.  Those stores will have to lay off some of their workers.  So even less money for the local economy. 

Yeah, makes a lot of sense.  Get even more people who are struggling even deeper in debt.

The local tv editor had a darn good editorial opinion on this. He said that they have crossed the line and are no longer protester but criminals and thugs who are interfering with people who actually WORK for a living, good for him. POWDERMAN.  ;D ;D

At some point, even sympathetic liberals will have to realize that the occupiers are primarily bums, idiots and leeches and the whole movement is destined to end up in the sewer it crawled out of.

The only people that will be hurt by this action are members of the "99%" when the lose pay due to the disruption.  The Occupy movement is driven by a bunch of hypocrites.
