YahooNews is reporting that Friday morning in Des Moines, at a coffee shop named Java Joe’s, from which MSNBC has been broadcasting, a group of Occupiers decided to create a ruckus, with Newt Gingrich expected to arrive, the owner of the establishment decided to give them the boot. Occupiers have gotten themselves in a good deal of trouble because so many of them don’t seem to understand the difference between private property and public spaces. This businesswoman had no problem noting the difference, informing them that they were trespassing, and tossing them out. The Occupiers don’t seem to respect private property, but that’s to be expected from a group of leftist-driven protesters. You can watch the video here:

From the YahooNews article:
“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.”
Amen! This is an important principle on which our nation was founded. You can have your free speech, but only on your expense. There’s no room for this sort of hijacking of private property for the “free speech” usages that these dimwits employ. The owner had it right: She informed them that they were trespassing, and that they were not welcome to return, ever. The policeman, termed a “big bully” by the occu-pest, informed them that they were now indeed trespassing, and with that, escorted them out.
The Occupiers have more clearly morphed into the more open form of what they have been all along: The agitprop front for the Obama Campaign. If the Occupiers were even remotely sincere about their stated complaints, they’d show up wherever Obama’s schedule takes him, first, last and always. Instead, they show up at Republican candidates’ events and interviews to raise hell and this is one more example of their mischief on Obama’s behalf.
I suspect these incidents are going to be more frequent and violent. the "core" instigators of OWS are being paid to incite chaos.
Jim, I suspect you're right. The fact is that these are nothing but Obama agitators, but the funny part is at least a few of them don't know it.
The owners of Java Joes had the right to kick out anyone. But that makes them much more EVIL than the occupiers. They have been meeting at Java Joes for months every tuesday spending money. Now because some eliteist idiot, with our hard earned dollars in his pocket, is showing up they get kicked out. Politicains are paid to work for the people. Not to cause them to get kicked out.
The only persons who caused these occupiers to get kicked out were themselves. Period.
When I see a person with white hair who is behaving like such an immature idiot, I can't help but be reminded of this quote: "One who thinks at 50 like he did at 20 has wasted 30 years."
This was a personal attack against a group for no good reason. The owners had only evil selfish reasons to kick out anyone.
There was no attack. They were asked to leave the premises due to their own conduct. Period. The owners are supposed to act for their own self-interest. That's why you have a business: To improve your own position in life. There is nothing evil about it, and the fact that you find business evil means you have no business on this site.
