If you think Occupy folks should be beaten and locked up...


You have a model.  It’s been done before.

By this sandal-wearing hippie, according to what a lot of anti-occupiers believe -
He said such radical, anti-government things like:

"Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life." - Timothy 6:17-19

Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not. Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.  -Matthew 25:41-45

Jesus said to him, “If you wish to be complete, go and sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.” -Matthew 19:21

"Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them." -Matthew 7:12
Imagine that.  Advocating redistribution of wealth and equal treatment.  Good thing they killed that radical, eh?

Maybe we can bring in the death penalty for rabble rousers.  If it was good enough for Jesus...
