Anti-Occupy "Daylight Disinfectant" Revealed?

Comments

He was a CNN Money "Millionaire in the Making" back in 2002. I'm not sure if he's officially part of the 1% by now or not.

You fault a guy for having a camera at waist-level, but not some guy using his toddler as a human shield?
You didn't say anything to that guy, right?
This whole 'uncovering who is behind the anti-occupy video' thing is really, really weird if you ask me.
Like Junior Nixons out there with a hit list.

frank's off his meds again

randyzpdx on November 23, 2011 at 1:11 PM

Dude, it's creepy.
Instead of planning their next move to combat corporate greed, the 1%, etc etc etc etc, - some guys have been spending alot of time trying to find out who dared to put out unflattering video of them.
Creepy.

frankieb on November 23, 2011 at 1:16 PM

The other guy is Michael Strickland.

"So much for free speech!"

Why are most people so fucking stupid?

Suburban Porn King on November 23, 2011 at 1:21 PM

frankie, don't feel too sorry for Sandini (who wasn't exactly working very hard to hide his identity anyway). He seems to love playing this game of "Who's Who":

Todd Mecklem on November 23, 2011 at 1:24 PM

No, I don't feel sorry for him one bit - except when he got his camera smashed into his face at that Kitzhaber speech.
Sort of...
He and his fellow Tea baggers are part of the problem, if you ask me.
But these tactics by 'occupy' are no less glaring.

frankieb on November 23, 2011 at 1:31 PM

frankieb assumes there was a crack team of investigators working around the clock to figure out who Daylight Disinfectant is.

The value of pulling away their anonymity is they’re now held to a greater standard of accountability. Pseudonymous and secret filming of Occupy Portland has so far resulted in a lot of false rumors with little gained—other than a video of one nutty man screaming at KGW.

reid.parham on November 23, 2011 at 1:34 PM

Actually, frankieb, if you were following my tweets that Thursday, you'd know that I *did* bawl the guy out for bringing a toddler to the riot lines. He sat there and ignored me. It didn't make Blogtown, but it happened. Having got two little ones myself, it still makes me shake a little.

Denis C. Theriault on November 23, 2011 at 1:38 PM

Also! I second what Reid says about transparency and accountability. If you're gonna film, be honest and don't bait people.

Denis C. Theriault on November 23, 2011 at 1:39 PM

I certainly don't don't think of occupy as able to assemble a 'crack team' of any kind.
Just the process needed to assemble one would require meeting upon endless debate meeting.
But someone has spent some time on this, obviously, as it is only now coming to light.

frankieb on November 23, 2011 at 1:40 PM

Here's an anti-Tea-Party version of the event Sandini describes at the pages linked in my comment at #8. (BTW, Chuck, blue links over purple aren't easy to read.)

Todd Mecklem on November 23, 2011 at 1:43 PM

Denis, I'm sorry to push that point about the guy with his kid again. No, I didn't read your tweets. I try to avoid most of them anyway, as pointless.
I'm glad to hear that you did say something to him.
My apologies sir.
But, as far as this 'exposé' thing goes - well, what now?
To me, this seems like a example of a movement not interested in moving forword with goals but rather bent on some sort of revenge.

frankieb on November 23, 2011 at 1:48 PM

oh sweet jeebus

randyzpdx on November 23, 2011 at 2:03 PM

This is just depressing.

Ovidius on November 23, 2011 at 2:03 PM

For someone who believes in the power of "daylight" its ironic he bundles himself up like the unibomber.

I see a guy with too much time on his hands.

And is the other guy wearing a wig?

Blabby on November 23, 2011 at 2:14 PM

Denis,

RIOT lines? so are you admitting that the protests weren't peaceful? so in essence the police DID THE EXACT RIGHT THING TO DISBAND THE(sorry here, I can't seem to double capitalize the next word) RIOT?

C.O. on November 23, 2011 at 2:35 PM

Wow! That's a real "gotcha" C.O.!

Except that's not what Denis is saying.

Blabby on November 23, 2011 at 2:46 PM

Right. It was short for "line of riot police." Duh.

Todd Mecklem on November 23, 2011 at 2:52 PM

Denis getting accosted by that guy for not saying the pledge is also pretty revealing.
Even as a vet, I abhor dogmatic patriotism.
Oh, yeah - what Todd and Blabby said.

frankieb on November 23, 2011 at 2:58 PM

I hope his whole family dies.

on November 23, 2011 at 3:06 PM

Wiley Wiggins is Michael Strickland (MichaelStrick9) He's a Ron paul supporter and in a metal band Midnight Winter currently riding high at 185th on the Portland Metal Charts.

on November 23, 2011 at 3:37 PM

Thanks, Dev. Under its old name his band got mentioned on Blogtown five years ago.

Todd Mecklem on November 23, 2011 at 4:08 PM

Denis -- nice try on the reporting... but do you have ANY examples of videos being taken out of context? ANY? As far as I can tell they let the people at OP ramble as long as they want. It's far more entertaining.

Which makes me curious, are there things you don't want exposed from the occupy people? Are there things that have to be covered up?

khbeavers on November 23, 2011 at 5:59 PM

You sound like you had to really work to find out who Daylight Disinfectant really is! It was never a secret... All you had to do was listen to the radio where he has frequently and freely shared his commentary along with a link to his You Tube Channel which he spells the name D-A-Y-L-I-G-H-T-D-I-S-I-N-F-E-C-T-A-N-T to all who cares to listen. Awesome sleuth job.

on November 23, 2011 at 6:09 PM

You guys are fucking GENIUSES! You figured it out, ONLY ONE WEEK after the camp got razed!

I stand in awe of your intellectual horsepower. Look out teabaggers, Mike Wallace is coming for you!

on November 23, 2011 at 6:18 PM

That name, it doesn't make good sense. The saying is "Daylight makes the best disinfectant" meaning that when wrongdoing is exposed to the light of day, shown to be immoral or illegal, it is either curtailed or punished. This could be read by those unfamiliar with that saying (and lets face it, we are getting dumber and dumberer) that there is disinfectant for daylight. Why would you want to disinfect daylight?

Mungen Cakes on November 23, 2011 at 6:23 PM

It only took 23 posts until the typical leftist message of peace, "I hope his whole family dies." How soon before you post his address? Good thing that Dan carries, in case any of you get the idea to carry out your threats.

Andy from Beaverton on November 23, 2011 at 6:25 PM

That's pretty funny. The Michael Moore heckling video has one dozen views on youtube. My Potter Puppet Pals video featuring naked Snape has 820. BWAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!1!!!

Mungen Cakes on November 23, 2011 at 6:29 PM

Wait, I missed that. This pissed off guy is packing heat? What a self important gas bag. 12 views. BWAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Mungen Cakes on November 23, 2011 at 6:31 PM

My Potter Puppet Pals video. Enjoy:

Mungen Cakes on November 23, 2011 at 6:41 PM

Hah, as soon as I read long hair and Lennon glasses I didn't even have to scroll down to know who that guy was! I met him the very first day of the occupation; he introduced himself to me as "Jason" I believe and was quite chatty... Struck me as very odd and out of place. He said he was a Ron Paul supporter and was giving me info on his campaign, then asked me for my name so he could "find me on facebook". Had a feeling something was off..

on November 23, 2011 at 6:54 PM

Aaahahahaha!!! Oh, some people are so slow! No wonder they are not in the top 1%.

on November 23, 2011 at 10:23 PM

Denis:
#12 is precious. Can we remember that one when Amy J. Ruiz comes back to work for the Merc?

stukasoverpdx on November 24, 2011 at 1:10 AM

@blabby,

you can't have it both ways. It was either a riot, or a peaceful protest. If it was the former as you claim, then a kids' presence should be of no concern.

@Todd,

Thank you for your clarification on what Stephan meant. While we are all here, is there any other statements from third parties you'd like to clear up for us?

C.O. on November 25, 2011 at 10:59 AM

Heh... I am the guy at the end who was holding Livestream yelling at this douchebag "Who's paying you?!"

I am also the guy this douchebag caught on the street and accused me of pushing him. Yes... I let out a barrage of "You're a douchebag" and... frankly... I am OK with it. I mean, the guy IS a douchebag...
