Speaker John Boehner said Monday that he understood the “frustrations” driving the Occupy Wall Street movement – but urged protesters to be peaceful to prevent demonstrations from blowing out of control excoriated those protesters who have become violent and destructive.
“I understand people’s frustrations,” Boehner said during an appearance at the McConnell Center at the University of Louisville. “The economy is job-killing policies of this radical administration are not producing jobs like they want and there’s lot of erosion of confidence in our government this president and his far-Left administration, and frankly, under the First Amendment, people have the right to speak out … but that doesn’t mean they have the permission to violate the law.”
“Beyond that, I lived through the riots of the Vietnam War … and you can see how some of those activities got out of control. A lot of people lived through the race riots of 1968 that was clearly out of control, and I’m hopeful that it's discouraging to see these demonstrations will continue to be peaceful turning violent and destructive.”
Earlier this month, remarks on the movement by House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) that the protesters were “mobs” caused an uproar and led the Virginia Republican to ultimately back away from his comments.
See how easy that is, you stupid PoS Boehner? Your enemies are playing Rollerball to the death, and you're playing dollies with children. You're not even on the same field.

"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."
