Just had a brain storm(well,maybe)

Taking a page from the anti-GUN (on topic) playbook, could
someone who was prevented from getting to work sue the
protesters? Heck,the cops arrested something like 1,300
of em in San Francisco alone! Just pick a name from the
list and file away!Could the organizers,ANSWER,in anyway be held accountable?Civil rights violation?

Just a thought.

Sure you can sue them, but you need to suffer damages (harm, economic loss, etc.) and you need names of the individual protestors you're suing plus the ability to tag them with the damages you incurred. They never give their real names nor do they usually carry ID, so you might have trouble "casting" your suit unless you can get them arrested and booked.

Plus, they need to have jobs and property so you can get money for damages.

Why can't you sue the organization responsible?

Why can't you sue the organization responsible?
If you can prove that one or more organizations intentionally planned ahead of time to shut down businesses and keep the police from doing their assigned duties and you personally surfered from their actions, you might have cause to sue.

These organizations are like octopi. They have so many fronts and allied organizations that, could you pin anything on them, their accounts would be emptied to a half dozen other groups.

Might as well sue Red China and N. Korea and skip the middlemen.

Might as well sue Red China and N. Korea and skip the middlemen.Well, no. Make that the DNC. The occupied Democratic Party (by Clinton, Dashel, etc.) is behind the protesters whether the jerks protesting on the street know it or not.

Instead of trying to sue them, how about just a $1000 fine for civil disobedience to help defray some of costs associated w/ arresting them? In SF alone...1300 arrests times $1000 per arrest = $1.3 million. At least it would cover some of the OT from the PD & damages to the city

I'm not sure I agree. I can easily think why the commies in E. Asia would want to fund communist insurgents here.

I think you could make a case that Comintern fifth columnists inhabit the democratic party.

One also needs to bear in mind that these movements (starting with the anti-WTO riots of the past few years - same folks) are international. Leads me to believe that the bucks supporting them aren't just laundered through the DNC.

Anyhow, any excuse to foment trouble and unrest works, be it war, the environment, or free trade..

You're probably right, CZ.
