Default Occupy Oakland protests in FAVOR of child sex trafficking

Every once in awhile some people do something that's actually shocking...That's pretty tough to do in this day and age, but Occupy found a way...

Occupy Oakland protests in FAVOR of child sex trafficking




Quote:
On Wednesday, June 13, members of the Occupy movement protested against a conference dedicated to combatting child sex trafficking — thus, the Occupiers in essence were coming out in favor of one of society’s most loathsome moral crimes.

The protesters mostly were members of Occupy Oakland Patriarchy, a group within the overall Occupy movement tasked with overthrowing our civilization’s “patriarchy.”

The conference which so infuriated them was called HEAT Watch, short for the National Human Exploitation And Trafficking Watch Conference.

If there’s one issue that unites Americans of all political stripes, it’s the sexual enslavement of children. Whatever our opinions on other issues, we all agree that sex trafficking and the prostituting of children is an outrage and a tragedy. Thus, conference attendees included liberal, moderate and conservative politicians; progressive nonprofit organizations; law enforcement groups; religious leaders; and (according to the conference Web site) “social services, medical providers, mental health, education, probation, and community-based organizations.” In short: Everybody.

Everybody, that is, except Occupy Wall Street, who somehow found a way to oppose the abolition of child sexual slavery.
In order to justify this seemingly incomprehensible and repugnant position, the Occupiers performed some of the most amazing moral gymnastics you’ll ever encounter. I’ll give them a lot of room to explain themselves in a moment, but first let’s get a glimpse of the conference, the protest, a small counter-protest, and the completely bizarre behavior of the Occupiers.

The Occupy narrative was very convoluted and can’t be coherently summarized in just a few images — in fact, they remained pretty incoherent even with all the space in the world to explain themselves — but we’ll get started with a few of their signs. This one said “End Police Terror Against Minor + Adult Sex Workers.” This is based on the Prime Directive of Occupy Oakland’s worldview: The police are mankind’s #1 enemy. Cops are invariably malevolent, and their actions always rank as “terror.”

Hell, why am I even bothering with this? When you act as the Occupiers did at this protest, your violent aggressive behavior trumps any message you may have had. After protesting on the sidewalk for a while, the Occupiers went berserk and staged a full-frontal assault on the conference. The security guards somehow managed to repel the invasion, as the Occupiers then hurled paint-bombs, bottles of unknown liquid, eggs and other projectiles at the hotel. Amazingly, they were so proud of all this that they uploaded their own video of the assault:

I guess you're right. I guess the crazy vandals above beat the Westboro Baptist family who are just plain crazy.

On the other hand you know how the left have lately been trying to sell the idea Occupiers are like the Tea party? Really, who are the above occupiers more like? The tea party, or the Westboro Bapitists?

I completely agree with their message about prostitution in general, but I fail to make the connection between that and child trafficking.

It doesn't look like very many people "in favor" of this. Like what - 5 or 6?

Ya, they're freaks like the Westboro Baptist Crowd.

Kinda. The Westboro Baptists are actually a very small group. Most of them come from a single family. It's fair to say these occupier nutcakes pushing for child sex abuse are a small group. However, they are not the only splinter group of nutbars, or radicals (eg. Black Block) and it happens enough with the occupy movement to consider painting the movement itself with a broad brush.

I think, if you want to draw a good analogy, it would be like this:

The Westboro Baptists are a small group out of the large group of Christians.
These Oakland protestors are a small group out of the large group of OWS.

There are a lot of other religious nutbar groups....but we don't paint the main part of the group with their colors.
