LOS ANGELES, CA - NOVEMBER 19: A police officer orders a Bible Believers, Los Angeles evangelical demonstrator out of the Occupy Los Angeles encampment as a scuffle breaks out when evangelical demonstrators rally in the camp on November 19, 2011 in Los Angeles, California. Though Occupy camps have been broken up by police in most big cities across the nation, the Occupy L.A. camp has persevered with the blessings of Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and city officials who say that they have not had any serious problems by the campers so far. Concern is rising though among the Occupiers since the office of the Mayor announced that they will not be able to camp on city property indefinitely.

1. And look, they have their very own Hulk Hogan impersonator

Isn't that special?

[gkhouston]

2. I'm thinking it's a Bible Believer impersonator.

That's quite a few pics with that guy looking confrontational. I'm wondering if he's really there to "start something" and doesn't worship anything except money.

6. I see what you're suspecting

Provocateurs. Ex-Military or merc types, not high on the pay scale. But there may be a program to incite conflicts and confrontations.

10. That's what I thought too.

Layers of lies. Testimony this week also revealed that a Catholic priest who once told Congress that Sandinistas had dressed up as contras to commit atrocities was himself a fake priest. And who arranged for his Congressional appearance, in costume? None other than Colonel North.

That isn't the link I was looking for, they also had fake priests out at demonstrations making the same false claims.

12. there is a breed of street preachers that is often confrontational

I've seen them plenty of times on college campuses. Cheap entertainment for the students :)

3. Did they expect the Welcome Wagon to roll out the welcome mat?

With signage like that, they were there for one reason and one reason only: instigation.

4. Those police are nothing but pigs and class traitors...

or so I've read.

Aren't Bible Believers part of the 99%?

5. Who's ass would Jesus kick?

that is the question.

I see they have the "official" designation, I guess Jesus would have been cool with that then.:puke:

[rpannier]

7. So they're the official street preachers

as opposed to the unofficial one's

I wonder if they have documentation to prove they're official

8. Good

9. I wonder how that evolved? n/t

[Remember Me]

11. The nerve!

I'm outraged. Go get your own group, you party-crashers, you.

13. L.A. has been letting the protesters stay because there have

been no problems with the protesters. So I guess some people decided to make a problem. Typical fascist thinking too. Send in the God Warriors.
