A piece of good news from the war on stupidity, as a collection of Occutards got a police escort from a coffee shop in Des Moines, Iowa.
DES MOINES, Iowa–On Friday morning before a planned event appearance by Newt Gingrich, some members of “Occupy Iowa” made a stop at Java Joe’s, a coffee shop here that MSNBC has been broadcasting from (MSNBC was not, however, broadcasting the Gingrich appearance).
The protesters didn’t get far before the owner of the shop gave them the boot.
About four or five Occupiers stood chanting in the middle of the crowded coffee shop before they were told to leave.
“I just had to shut it down, I couldn’t stand it,” Amy Brehm, who owns the store, told Yahoo News after police escorted the last demonstrators out. “We all have our rights, but not in my place.”
Personally, I’d like to have hit Occutard Santa, the loudmouth in the video, in the face with a shovel. Just because.
The concept of private property is foreign to these riders of the Short Bus of Life. Private property means the owner of that property can determine who’s allowed and who’s not allowed on or in it. This Occutard movement has gotten out of hand because public officials have not enforced private property limitations from the beginning. These idiots have been permitted to take over other businesses — restaurants, sandwich shops, etc. — and harass and shout at customers, who’ve shown remarkable restraint in not giving one of them a haymaker to the jaw.
It’s time for them to go away permanently, but they won’t. They are only just beginning. The 1960s sit-ins and demonstrations didn’t work. Watch for guerrilla-style flash mobs to disrupt events in the coming months as the America Owes Me crowd clamors for attention like a spoiled child.
By the way, to paraphrase a line from Rodney Dangerfield, these “children” aren’t spoiled; they just smell that way.
