Dumbass Occupy Protester Pushes Over Police Bike, Gets His Ass Handed To Him

Wow these Occupy Wallstreet protesters are even dumber that we thought. Take your average hippie, subtract 30 IQ points and add a layer of grease - you'll get a occupier. At first we here at People Liking People somewhat supported their cause because there really are a lot of economic problems these days and people are frustrated. Plus we're flat broke here at People Liking People so we can definitely relate to not having any money and having trouble paying the bills. But these asshats are the ones standing up for the cause? We couldn't do any better than this guys?

Exhibit [A] below is the latest example of the lack of brain cells these clowns have:






A biker cop is trying to get through the area and you got these Occupy shmucks standing in front of him trying to block his path. The cop tries to get through and it appears that one of the morons gets his foot ran over. He then shoves the bike to show how big of a tough guy he is before taking off like a little pussy when the cop comes after him. The best part is all the fake outrage that follows from the mass of retards "OMG OMG WHAT ARE U GUYS DOING! POLICE BRUTALITY RODNEY KING OMG" No really, some douche on a bullhorn actually shouts "You guys are fucking NAZIS!". Yeah, the police are nazis because they went after the guy who shoved a police motorcycle.

We're a bit torn right now, on the one hand these idiots should really be shipped off to some deserted island somewhere so we don't all have to smell their stench but I gotta admit they do provide great amusement at their expense. As long as they keep a good distance I say keep it up, it beats watching reruns of Jackass.

Korn goes dubstep for their latest album "The Path of Totality"


From nme.com:

Korn have announced that they will release their new studio album 'The Path Of Totality'.

The band will release the album on December 5 and have confirmed that the album will be comprised entirely of songs made with dubstep producers.
We here at People Liking People were never huge fans of Korn, however their first 2 albums are worth checking out. They helped created the dreaded genre of Nu-Metal that we mostly despise but they were able to pull it off in a way that didn't suck because they had fresh ideas and a unique sound. Now it's years later in their career - at the stage where they'd usually be pretty much over the hill and yesterday's news. But we just checked out a track from the upcoming album and it ain't too bad, check it out:



I think this is going to be very successful actually. There is an area between metal and dubstep that has yet to be discovered and this seems to be a step in the right direction for them. Korn is a type of band that does need to change over time to stay current and I think they chose the right direction here.

From the outrage department: Iraqi war veteran gets severely injured during Occupy Oakland Protest

We've had these Occupy Wallstreet protests going on for quite some time now and it's catching on around the country where we're having everything from Occupy St. Louis to Occupy Dallas to Occupy Miami. It took them a bit of time to figure out exactly why they were protesting but it appears they've agreed on a list of grievances ranging from banks having too much power and greedy capitalism increasing the divide between the haves and the have-nots.

We have our first "casualty" in the fight against the man, and it's Iraqi war veteran Scott Olsen.

From mediabistro.com:

Marines have been flocking to the social networking/aggregator site Reddit to voice their anger at the life-threatening injury inflicted on 24-year-old Iraqi war veteran Scott Olsen by Oakland police during the recent Occupy protests. Video showed Olsen go down after taking a tear gas canister to the head. As fellow protesters tried to assist him, police lobbed a flash grenade into their midst–right next to Olsen’s already fractured skull.

So now everyone is in an uproar about this, and it's working to give the protesters another excuse to be out there protesting. But in a way it distracts from the initial issue, it's a cause within a cause now. And this is very common for a protest of this type, where the protesters aren't so quick to obey police and they're willing to be arrested to take one for the team and for the cause. Things escalate bit by bit day by day, and before you know it someone's injured or arrested and that becomes the new cause "OMG LOOK WHAT THEY DID TO BILLY THOSE EVIL MONSTERS...OK YOU'VE REALLY FUCKED UP THIS TIME".

The thing that makes this a seemingly perfect situation for the protesters is the fact that he's an Iraqi war veteran. If it was just some regular shmuck, they know that story wouldn't really go anywhere. People would shrug and say "eh what do you expect". But an Iraqi war veteran? Apparently we're all supposed to go "OMG WTF SHIT JUST GOT SRIOUS" and get out our pitchforks.

But we're having trouble understanding how the fact that he is an Iraqi war veteran is relevant at all. Sure, it makes for a good headline and it makes for good fodder to fuel the outrage of the cause. But why would anything any of us have done in our past excuse us from anything that happens to us in the future? The guy was clearly in an area with a group of people where police had told them not to be. They refused to leave, so the police escalated the situation and started throwing tear gas. If you stick around at that point, I'm sorry but that's kind of on you now. It's like jumping in a cage with a lion and then getting outraged when he takes a bite out of you. You knew going in what you were getting yourself into. Sure, it's unfortunate that he got injured but again, what does his past have to do with any of this? Did the police single him out and say "ok let's throw the canister right at the head of that veteran over there"?

The only reason it's relevant is because it elicits emotion. That's it. It has nothing to do with the protests, it has nothing to do with the protesters sticking around in an area after they're told to leave. And it has nothing to do with the reasons they're protesting. It's only to stir up outrage, in an attempt to wake up those who could care less about the whole thing and recharge the "troops on the ground".



We can tell this guy is serious because he underlined "brother".

Are we going to have to do this with everyone that's injured in a protest now? If someone who gets hurt happens to be a floor sweeper, are janitors going to come out in solidarity? Actually that would be pretty awesome.

Ohio Gym Teacher Jailed for Sex With Students

From abcnews.com:

A popular Ohio high school gym teacher has been sentenced to four years in jail after a judge rejected her insanity defense and convicted her on 16 counts of sexual battery for sleeping with several of her former students.
This happens like every other day now doesn't it? You gotta wonder who these guys are that keep turning their hot female teachers in. They gave you the time of your life, a moment you'll never forget. And you fucked it up.

Our favorite quote from the story:

One of the victim's fathers testified at the trial of how his son was negatively affected by Schuler's actions.

"He suffered from depression, loss of motivation … almost didn't go to college -- he was angry at home and he didn't want to be around family or anyone -- my son was not who he used to be," the father said.

Hmmm loss of motivation, didn't want to go to college, didn't want to be around family....Isn't this normal for a guy in his late teens? What 17 year old kid do you know loves hanging out with the folks and has motivation?

Herman Cain's Campaign Ads: WTF?

Well we here at People Liking People really thought it was starting to look like Herman Cain was going to become the Republican nominee. He's the most likable candidate, he offers clear solutions, and he isn't a career politician. We were really rooting for the guy. But we've checked out a couple of the ads he's recently put out and it's got us scratching our heads. Check this out:



Can anybody make sense of this? I think they had a point somewhere in there but I'm not sure what it has to do with Herman Cain. I think what makes it so bad is how poorly produced and acted it is. They're definitely going to need to do better than this if they're going to go against Obama in the general election. This is second rate material. Did the Herman Cain camp just hire the people who worked on Ron Paul's ads last campaign?



"He's catchin' on, I'm tellin ya"

Wow...I forgot how bad that was.

Anyways...Mr Cain we suggest you remove this ad as soon as possible and hopefully everyone will just forget it ever happened.

Showoff Bicyclist Gets Owned

Douchebag tries to show off but wasn't quite as skilled as he thought he was. You know, bikes have 2 wheels for a reason...

Middle-Easterner stuffs camel into the back of his car

Our WTF video of the day....this is both disturbing and amusing at the same time. The camel's resistance in the beginning seems to indicate that he's been through this before. I would think putting him in the backseat would be a more humane way to do it - the camel wouldn't be as scared and there would be plenty of breathing room, he could just poke his head out the window. One thing is for sure: this camel would make a great death metal vocalist.
