At the time of this posting . . . The "media group" from Occupy KC could not be reached for comment . . . We're waiting for a reply to an e-mail.
But this is fact . . .
ACTIVE PARTICIPANTS IN THE OCCUPY KC FACEBOOK GROUP ARE COMPLAINING THAT CASH RAISED FOR THE "MOVEMENT" HAS BEEN SPENT ON MARIJUANA!!!
To protect the innocent, the guilty and the stoners . . . I've blocked out some of the names on this recent facebook post.
However . . . These are folks who are "players" in the local movement, not just outsiders or online people who would attempt a false flag . . . Through the course of the movement these are online folks who claim to be ardent supporters of the group and here's what they're saying.
So . . . THIS IS SORT OF HILARIOUS!!!
Maybe the most fitting end to Occupy KC is that it has sort of become a pot party which sounds a lot more fun than repeating Cable TV News Talking Points.
DEVELOPING . . .
Tony, maybe this happened. Or maybe it didn't.
ReplyDeleteBut your only evidence is chatter on a Facebook page? And you ran with it?
I can't find a better example of the difference between a blogger and a journalist.

ReplyDeleteCertainly is a much different take on it that Tony rushed to publish, Radioman.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, what happened between Tony and the Occupy folks? He is certainly acting like this whole thing is deeply personal to him, and is on a mission to destroy the local movement by any means necessary, including publishing wild rumors without making the least bit of effort to look into them first.
radio spam.
ReplyDeleteFor another view from someone who has actually done some investigating, this was in the last Pitch:

Why hasn't the Mayor cleaned up the trash in the park?
ReplyDeleteDon't be so obvious. This is a minor concern, it's just weed.
ReplyDeleteLooks like overpriced weed at that.
What about the hookers?
ReplyDeleteNever were.
ReplyDeleteThe treasury committee from OccupyKC has members of the committee facing felony charges of Identity Theft, Wire Fraud, other computer crimes, and one individual who is facing Sexual Assault.
ReplyDeleteWay to go, Tony, publishing the false assumptions of a man with Asperger's Syndrome. But... Thanks for blacking out my name in your screen shot!
ReplyDeleteThe hookers are so sweet. They went barefoot when the weather was warmer but now we all get a free snuggle session to help us keep warm.
ReplyDeleteWe are the 99 percent and we're so fucking sexy.
ANd none of them will give you even a second look because you're an overweight dork.
ReplyDeleteAw Tony you got played! U missed out on the weed.
ReplyDeleteWhere ther is smoke there is bound to be fire. Untrained people not keeping receipts? This sounds just like the business they have been protesting against - corrupt!
