A shooting buddy of mine posted this on our Indiana gun forum. I'm posting it here for your enjoyment.

Enjoy the photos.


Today we were hanging at home and Mrs. says, lets go see the OWS Bloomington site at Peoples Park. When the Mrs. says she is well enough to do something, that makes everyone's day and off we went.

The park is 155 by 125 feet in Bloomington just west of the Sample Gate. It is smack in the middle of the retail district just west of IU and in downtown liberal Bloomington.

20 people were active at the site but I counted 40 tents, some of which had not been touched in days. The group members were preaching to the Chior and they tried to convert Mrs. Longbow. I listened and she was safe. For some reason they didn't talk to me other than ask why I was taking pictures. Guess I look like the problem to them.:D

They had a kitchen that is a health hazard and numerous fire hazards were seen. They were getting water from the drinking fountain for many uses and it did not look sanitary Not a toilet was around so I guess they are using the local merchant sites. ( lucky them)


This was an image that ticked me off. It was in the main event and membership tent. My wife pointed it out to me just as we where leaving.

These are some general pictures of the people at the site. Several were handing out flyers to the public walking by. I heard at least two people tell them to get a life or invest some time to get a job.

I was told by one of the merchants that yesterday they were burning constitutions to keep warm and smoked up the area. What a nice group they are!

The peaceful idiots have no problem with being thieves. Here they are stealing power from a local business. Nice job of hiding it!

These demonstrations are getting more and more violent. They are now marching into affluent neighborhoods where people's homes are defining them as the enemy to these clowns.

These actions scare the residents and at some point this will degenerate into these clowns burning homes down and in turn getting themselves shot by the residents. It will just get worse.

In Calif they took over the shipyard and did millions of dollars of damage last week. This is a cancer of Obama's making by his supporting and openly instigating this class warfare months ago, which has now come to Fruition

Basically if you're a bleeding heart supporting these people, and you make a good income, you are still going to be a target! This insanity is now spreading to other countries as well.

This next year is going to be a rough one for all involved.!

I was in Lima today with my son.
Didn't look like anyone was occupying the town square as they had been.
Then again, they were all probably at the Mall now doing Christmas shopping!

I asked what they were 'demanding' and he said that his wife reported the following:
They wanted her to join and were telling how greedy corporations are. She told them her husband works for a great corporation that gives back to its employees and local community. They did not know what to say.

They tried something else and she said the company her husband works for paid for and built 10 habitat homes this year.




Hope you can read this........they better not pull this crap at my place...................

Turns out a man drank himself to death in the park.



One dead already today!

Don Swank passed away in People's Park early this morning. From what we understand, the cause was most likely alcohol related. Don was good man, and many are mourning his passing. I have posted a statement below, and I would like feedback on it, as this tragic incident will probably draw attention.

Don was not a good man as they said, but rather, he was a drunk and/or an idiot who could not control his drinking. He would have killed himself eventually, but now is considered a martyr for the cause of socialism running amuck. There are no shortage of fools in these crowds.

Well everything I have said to date has pretty much been on the mark, the violence is starting which is the next phase of Marx's teachings... Seems Obama was a good student!
