What the hell was she doing there to begin with? If you are carrying a baby you shouldn't be in the middle of something or someplace that is going to put you and your baby in any kind of harms' way. Granted there are situations where it's unintentional and it's a matter of 'wrong place, wrong time' but she was there on purpose.

That link was just terrible news all the way around. Idiots deserve each other I guess, and someone else loses.

Maybe I am overly sentimental to pregnant women at first glance, but damn, she was stupid. What a Greek tragedy.

It was supposed to be a peaceful protest, where people just sit around and do nothing. it wasn't supposed to be a violent place.

still, she should had probably thought about the fact that it could be possible for it to get out of control. sometimes with a baby on the way, you have to account for all possibilities out there in order to ensure the safety of your baby.

espeically when you got police using excessive force on college students just sitting around to start with.

Peaceful schmeasful. She had no business being there while pregnant. Anything can happen. All you need is on idiot to open his/her mouth, throw something, start a rumor, anything and the shit hits the fan.

The story says no one knows the full / final outcome of the story. They don't even know if she truly miscarried. I'll bet she's full of shit about being pregnant and did this for attention to make the cops look bad. Wouldn't be the first time.

Taking things at face value, she is an idiot. If it's all part of some nefarious scheme, she is an idiot and she sucks. I'm leaning with the former till otherwise. People do dumb shit like that as if it were normal.

After watching the full version of the incident I have to side with the cops. The original release of the video blocked out alot of info and twisted it in favor of the protestors.Things missing from the first release is the cops went around to all the "squatting" protesters and asked if they understood what law they were breaking numerous times, and also did so over a megaphone. The real deal of this whole story is, the cops wanted to clear the protestors from a specific area on the campus, not trying to stop them from protesting. A few resisted and were arrested, the cops tried to leave with the few people that resisted and were being taken into custody. At that point the protestors surrounded them and said the cops could not leave until they let the people go. That is when they sat down on sidewalk not allowing the cops to pass by forming a circle around them. At this point they were putting the cops in danger, thats why a squad car from outside the protest came in and sprayed the protestors the cops in the circle never touched, sprayed anyone. They were in riot formation just holding their position since they were surrounded. I have to side with the cops on this one as far as proper procedure was taken, and they just wanted to leave with the people arrested for actually breaking the law.Protestors pushed the limits, the only wrong doing on police side and this is if its true , the police used the wrong pepper spray supposedly military grade. They should have used a less potent form but then again how often do they deal with stuff like this I guess.

Got a link to the whole video?

Imagine that.

OK so why did the news go on and on that this was a peaceful protest about tuition hikes and not OWS bullshit?

These kids are assholes. I'm now with Havoc saying the cops were 100% right.

If all I had to go on was the news and the videos in those links I provided, I'd still stand by my feeling the spray was excessive. But since more than one news source LIED and then made it impossible to find a proper video at the time I posted (when the story was hot), I had no choice but to go by what I saw and read.

OWS idiots are now dying from exposure in Denver because they are too stupid to get out of the cold.
