Occupy D.C. Protester Threw Soda Bottle, Not Brick, Police Say

Ah, man. Disappointing. If it had been a brick, the uncertified DC Medical Examiner could have ruled the PO's injury was caused by a non-specific pre-existing condition unrelated to whether Occupy's kitchen would have a mysterious "fire".

Or so says, Joe Englert.

wait, they hate major corporations yet drink (slash pee in) bottles of *coca-cola*?

Oh, I hope Shangry goes on tour with Too $hort.

I am assuming the bottle was plastic? 

The Park Police's public information officer is looking into whether that bottle was glass or plastic.

Now, about that helicopter: The officer who was struck by the Coke bottle was bleeding quite a bit in addition to the damage to his eye. The scene commander made the determination to call in the helicopter rather than an ambulance based on the apparent urgency of the injury. The injured officer was taken to Washington Hospital Center, the spokesman said.

Unsure. The report doesn't specify, WaPo reported today it was glass. We're trying to confirm.

Which, I think, would mean it was either an 8 oz or a 10 oz bottle. I don't think they make the glass ones larger than that.

 The glass bottles are also tre expensive. Very 1% of him.

Uh, if it was glass it was probably the Cokes bottled in mexico that use the real sugar. All the rage, and the glass ones will definitely maintain better for frequent use as a urinal.

I can never get my dick in that little hole.

I've been wondering where the guy got a brick as their dwellings are made of straw and sticks.  

I'll bet you are dreaming about huffing and puffing again aren't you.

So now we're giving cute pet names to those hippies?

Apparently to be filed under "questions we aren't supposed to ask," I do find it curious that the officer was flown to the hospital. Of course "Medstar" could mean any number of hospitals, but the likely candidate would be the Washington Hospital Center, which is 2.7 miles from McPherson Square. GW Hospital, not Medstar, is only a mile from McPherson.

Guess if you have a helicopter, why not use it. Though airlifts are very expensive.

Officers injured in the line of duty receive royal treatment.  Nothing is going to change that, and honestly, nothing should.

I just have a hard time believing it's faster to drive down to the Washington Monument, load into a helicopter, fly to the Hospital Center, ride in an ambulance from the helipad to the ER than to just drive to GW in the first place.

I have a hard time believing that the Ofc would have even been injured if your Shangry buddy hadn't thrown that bottle at him.

Maybe not, but it sure is more fun! Especially when you don't have life-threatening injuries.

+1 I can't fault them giving him a ride in their helicopter.  Especially if he was saying he couldn't see out of that eye.  

They should have used Metro. A couple of stops, a walk up a couple of escalators, bingo Trauma Center. 

Yeah, I'd say that if your injuries are of the "treated and released" variety, you probably can go to the hospital via ambulance like the rest of us plain ol' citizens.

Ah, and here I thought we were going to have a good day based on the lack of Dread Pirate Roberts' nonsense in the Morning Roundup.

Be careful, Ben. DPR gets Shangry really quickly if antagonized.

DPR isn't that short. He just has poor posture. And he smells a little off.

Well, you would too after spending a week trapped in OTR's basement. Daily bathing for the coeds, my ass!

One time I didn't have enough hot water for you to shower and I am cursed for life. That's what happens when you ride your bicycle on Virginia's county roads on the hottest day of the summer.

Nope.  That rebuttal doesn't seem thin-skinned at all.

Wait until you see Ben's 4,000 tweets about it.

Act now! This offer only good for 24 hours.

Again, I think you miss the general humor and snarky back-and-forths between DPR and us.

Yeah right. And that also doesn't seem at all thin skinned.

I see what you did there.

Girls, girls - Stop it. You're both pretty... 

Well, let's say cute. Yeah, cute... 

Ok, marginally f*ckable after a few drinks, and that's my final offer.

I'm just an outside observer.  The editors weren't being snippy with me this time, although the "I know you are but what am I" editorial rebuttals are becoming redundant.

I am going to have to agree with you on this one. And we never agree. Also, no one gives a shit what I think. Cheers!

Me too!  See!?

I'm getting shangry!

You two get a room.

We agree so much more than you're willing to admit.

HAH! You two agree all the time! I'm beginning to think Guesty recently moved to Denver.

Are you threatening us? Because we're One Step Closer to That Jar of Urine and Virginia has eliminated the one-jar-a-month restriction.

Ah, and here I thought we were going to have a good day based on the lack of Occupy nonsense in the Morning Roundup. 

awesome name! i was thinking about indigo montoya myself.

(It's Inigo Montoya)

thanks for the spell check. my irish ass always thought it was indigo. i guess its the way andre the giant said it.

Don't these protesters know that the police are their friends?

Correct, the only thing protecting these protesters are the police.  Otherwise, I'd be the first one down delivering a beat down to a couple of trustfund hippies. 

The Occupy movement has been Rule 34rd. It is now mainstream

With adblock, the site was no great shakes. WITHOUT adblock, it is indeed a total sausage fest. Kind of like a redwood forest of P

http://www.southparkstudios.co...

Just out of curiosity, do you run AdBlock or something similar? 

I didn't click, but I have a feeling that a site with that URL is going to have a cock or two floating around on the side panels.

Lol. You are right. I turned off the adblock and there they were!

So rarely do we stop to appreciate that we are so often just a few lines of clever scripting away from a raging cockstorm. 

If you like them, you should check out the lead singer's acoustic project - Rivers of Santorum. 

Raging Cockstorm was awesome at the Black Cat last week.

Agreed. If you're guilty of anything it's impassioned vituperation. Also eating asparagus and not flushing.

Don't make him Shangry. You wouldn't like him when he's Shangry. He might throw his bottle of urine.

Gorecki, whom other demonstrators have nicknamed "Shangry"—a portmanteau of short and angry for his small frame and impassioned vituperation

I would have gone with "Dwarf**khead" but I wouldn't want to make him upset. He might bite my kneecaps.

Or throw a soda bottle full of urine at your head.

What was the soda bottle full of?  Urine?

Okay, first of all, they store their urine in jars, not bottles. And second, the bottles were used as ashtrays for American Spirits. I'm getting tired of having to clarify this. It's really making me Shangry.

Pro Tip: Tinkle a couple drops of urine into the bottom of the ashtray bottle before use to dowse future smoldering butts.

Now you're just making me randy.

Better to be Shrandy than Shangry.

@slim_pickens:disqus Thanks Again!

Buttercup!

Better the bottle was diet Coke vs. regular Coke in case one police horse is diabetic. 

If you've seen as much midget porn as "Fully Loaded" Hot Brown, you'd be inclined to agree.

What do they call it when Shangry has an orgasm in an Occupy themed gay porno flick?  Shangry-la!  Duh.

He tried some "impassioned vituperation" on his girlfriend, but unfortunately he drank too much Shangria and couldn't "rise to the occasion." Then he got all Shangry and threw a bottle of urine at her head. It's a love story for the ages, like Romeo & Juliet except with more pee and shanger.
