Watch in amazement as a woman is arrested for drawing “GOOD MORNING, NYPD” on a sidewalk… in chalk.

My friend Ryan’s amazing, creative, wonderful, kind little sister Rachel attended the Occupy Wall Street protests in NYC, choosing to use chalk as her method of communicating her unhappiness with the current state of affairs. She was arrested, as you can see in this video, and was never read her Miranda Rights despite being questioned.  She was also ticketed for “damage to sidewalk”. All for using washable sidewalk chalk. This is getting pretty silly, guys.

Anyone care to tell me how this doesn’t look a bit “police-state-esque?”

She was drawing the sidewalk in chalk.

All this protesting must be hitting ‘em pretty close to the mark to get ‘em all riled up like that, huh?

The idea is that all of human society is based on a power structure that enslaves the trusting/ignorant and rewards the greedy and the dishonest. From government, to business to our individual lives, all of our actions are tailored to further support a system that exploits all of us and wastes our lives in the process. Website666.com endeavors to explain how. Shape-shifting lizards aren't running the world, but they might as well be. Only a sociopath would think they deserve to run things.
