Treating the symptom instead of the problem is parallel to what baarack and the goricle do to draw attention to themselves and their revenuing. Wake up and spend time smelling the real stink/atrocity.
Posted by Makes sense]]> Mon, 16 Feb 2009 09:07:00 -0800 Portland Mercury thank you for this comment.
likely one of or the best comment
I've read on this specific topic so far.
There's many... many many many.
But you did bring it to home, and I
think it's safe to say it needed to be
said.

And, in the telling, it also speaks of the modern day thugs that no longer exist to protect the public, but are used instead, to protect questionable businesses that support inhumane practices, like the pet stores, that traffic in animal misery, and the puppy mills, where animals are bred to to the point of ill-health, for one more litter of puppies and profits.

The information on puppy mills is out there. Look it up and decide for yourself. Dogs (and cats) languish and suffer, and are often euthanized in shelters around the country, because there are not enough informed people ready to give them all a home and a life.

We should be thanking those people willing to speak up about this side of our inhumanity - where the creatures that share the world with us are treated with abuse and indifference.

Getreal, what's a public mall? This is a serious question. You seem to think it means something. I can only imagine that you think that this means something legally. Do you? What makes the mall "public"? What rights should this guarantee people in the space? When (and how) did we establish these rights? I'm very serious. Other readers, feel free to chip in and argue for this mysterious "public space". Teach me.

People who care about animals should support this pending legislation, which cracks down on puppy mills in the state of Oregon.

Improving the law is far more effective than staging protests at the mall.

gcsickboy: "A Cat,
only the most overweening and fastidious keyboard-warriors would ever be offended by hyperbole."

Sorry I misunderstood, gcsickboy. The fact that people like DamonA will compare an abusive asshole mall-cop with the fact that my grandma had both of her parents murdered as part of a systematic genocide pisses me off. A lot.

Now that we're on the same page, I must say that I don't find anything "overweening and fastidious" about finding overtly manipulative "reporting" to be insultingly lazy. YMMV, obvs.
Posted by A cat........]]> Thu, 12 Feb 2009 20:35:04 -0800 Portland Mercury the mall cop originated the tackling of Matt to the ground.
cop cop arrived on scene right as the tackle took place,
which is why the event seemed simultaneous.
either way, the mall cop still went against the policies... well beyond.
it won't be hard to win this case against the mall.
Posted by HM]]> Thu, 12 Feb 2009 18:53:13 -0800 Portland Mercury why shield children from knowing what's right or wrong?
is the only reason a kid will eat meat in the first place.
think about it.
take your kid to a slaughter house and they'll never eat meat again. they still have a conscious.
either way, I respect Matt as a parent.
I see he and his partner and their way of parenting little Felix and I think to myself, of all the people out there having baby after baby after baby, here's a couple who are raising a kid with true moral ethics and values in life.

After I saw the YouTube of this I called the mall to say I would no longer be shopping there, between the support of puppy mills and the overzealous mall cops, and they told me the arresting officer was a POLICE OFFICER, not a mall cop.

Doesn't make it any better, just interesting that they're lying to the shoppers.

I wouldn't even buy food or toys at Scamps... what a shady operation that place is.

On your godwin-ing of this discussion five posts in, fuck you. Three of my great-grandparents were killed in the camps; to call Mark Hanson "gestapo" is to spit in the face of millions. Fuck you.

The fact that Mark Hanson, current LC Security Gestapo/former Clackamas Co. pig, has been over-seeing an [informal] policy of brutalising & "arresting" patrons in clear violation of ORS policy is not at all surprising, being the punk-ass n00b that i'm sure he is.
And the fact the Mr. Hanson was too damned cowardly to give comment for this article is also very telling.

Why do you give soo much a damn about the content of the 1st paragraph?! I'm faaar more concerned about the fact that an individual was bum-rushed & ASSAULTED by mall security brutes, IN DIRECT VIOLATION OF THEIR OWN POLICY!

If the people of the United States refused to buy a puppy in a pet store, the misery of puppy mills would end. Please tell everyone you know about the puppymill and petstore connection.
