Yesterday, I pointed out that Mayor Slay's office said one of the reasons they decided to arrest protesters was because of feedback from "talk radio." Apparently, they think it's good city policy to try to appease the furthest right-wing fringe that carries coffins to local congressperson's yards, calls USDA officials "racist" based on doctored videos, and regularly attacks St. Louis institutions like UMSL and SEIU.
And thanks to a helpful tip from a commenter, it sounds like Mayor Slay was so eager to appease the right-wing fringe in St. Louis, he sent Loesch a personal message on Friday to let her know that he was going to be arresting protesters. She couldn't just wait to read about it on the news like all of the other rubes; nope, she's gets a special message so that she could cheer about those darn hippies getting their due.
Here's the clip of Loesch telling her rabid audience that Slay sent her a personal message on Friday:
Throughout the occupy protests, protesters have often chanted the following to the police: "Who do you protect? Who do you serve?" I think it might be more appropriate to ask the Mayor these questions.

this is again, the "norm" that we should expect from the bought and paid for media. Reporting exactly what they are told to and continuing to be the robots they are so well without thinking about anything at all.
ReplyDeleteGod forbid that they should question why the "leaders" are doing what they are doing.
Stay strong, occupy EVERYWHERE!!
