I would only add that it would be more appropriate to say that we know there’s something rotten when WHITE 13-year old kids are being arrested for peaceful protest. Brown & Black kids get arrested for peaceful protests, or just for being in public, every day.
this makes me want to break things. america isn’t rotten when a 7 year old black girl is shot in the head by the police who were showing off for a tv show, america isn’t rotten when a 9 year old latina girl is shot by a supremacist vigilante posing as law enforcement, but let a little white girl get put in handcuffs and the whole world is ready to riot.
and yes, i’m fucking bitter. bite me.
reblogging for this. because it’s the truth.
but “we’re all the same”, right?
Sad thing is, for most of these kids, it’s just bragging points. The ability to say they were arrested once in their lives. It’s not going to affect their ability to get a job or get opportunities like it affects the black and brown people targeted everyday. They get to go through the system without having the face any of the same horrors and think its so bad but also that it’s kind of cool and something they secretly always wanted to experience to have some sort of “street” cred since they know nothing about street shit but find it fascinating.
Commentary.
I hate to make historical comparisons, but people have already done it. These teenagers are similar to the anti-war protestors of the 60s and 70s. They will get arrested and think its cool for awhile. They’ll say the what they believe will never change, but chances are they will turn into their parents. They will then think back to the “good old days.”
edit: she is 18.
Seriously!? She’s 18?? Wow. Would not have guessed that. Anyway, I know I’m going to get a lot of shit for this but, am I the only one that wants to smack her in her smug little face? She doesn’t even look like she even knows what the protest is about. Like it’s all just a game to her, “look gaiz! I got arrested! Pff Amerika, amirite?!”. POC are persecuted every fucking day, and usually it doesn’t even gain media attention. But you know how much this little white girl has been on my dash?? A whole fucking lot. Ugh. I am in such a horrible mood right now.
No, she pisses me off as well. You sum up why she pisses me off so nicely.
AHEM—ATTENTION ALL: I’m writing this to bring my friend to justice and end all this sudden and nonsensical hate she’s getting. Before jumping to any farfetched and falsified conclusions such as the above, I want you to first get the right and straight facts, not some bullshitting of a close-minded media. First off, I am a real life friend of this girl. I’ve known her since high school and talked with her about this. Second, yes she is 18 and yes she got “arrested.” Should I even use that term? Because she didn’t commit any criminal act (unless photography is, then correct me if I’m wrong) and was in fact, dragged out by the cops for no reason and she was not participating in the march anyway. She was on a personal photography project for the upcoming National Portfolio Month, as she clarified in her own words, “I wanted to compile a portfolio…So I thought taking pictures would not only help my benefit but expose what went down between cops & protesters.”
Third, this picture that was taken and is currently circulating the web of course proves her to be smiling but the question is, at what? Did anyone brother to ask? Bother to stop and think? No. Everyone suddenly thinks figures out that a smile that she offered out of politeness to the cameraman is that of an attention whore. That is just mind-boggling and ridiculous to think how people came up to this conclusion in the first place. When I asked her out of genuine curiosity, she had this to say: “Yeah, I smiled because I wanted to show that I wasn’t angry. That I smiled because it was polite. There weren’t supposed to be any negative intentions from the smile. It was just to show that even in this situation, I was able to smile…And the cop was mad nice to me.”
However after seeing, photographing and experiencing the treatment of people in this protest, my friend is supporting the march and wouldn’t have a problem marching again, this time not to photograph but to protest together with the 700+ people against Wall Street. The one thing I don’t understand is the way people bend the truth so much that it’s not existent anymore. All that’s left is mindless and unreasonable hate against a girl and her smile, of all the other things that could’ve been discussed about—it was just her polite smile. : | In fact, she hates the way words and meanings got mixed up by the media and wants to wait for it to simmer down and then maybe discuss her experience.
Either way, speaking from a friend POV and seeing all this hate on her on my dash makes me severely disappointed. Good job Internet. Nevertheless, if any of you have something to say (though be polite and have common sense, she won’t discuss anything with an influx of hate-mail), she can be reached at her Tumblr.
Enjoy the rest of your evening everyone.
P.S. I’m just gonna sit her with her and laugh at all these “comments” by just bitter people. Don’t form stupid conclusions without hard evidence first. :|
In other words, “Haters gonna hate.”
^ This.

P.S. I really am open for questions/comments. I really want to get this whole thing sorted out =\ Its really hard to explain something (especially over the internet) when everyone is giving their own side of the story…
KAITLYNJAN’S POV:
People are always going to assume the worst, possible things. And they are going to talk mad shit about a situation and person they don’t even know. Jhonen Vasquez said it best in an interview, that he could be running to the bathroom about to piss his pants and someone would ask for an autograph. He would then probably say “yeah, sure man but can you hold on while I use the bathroom?”
and next thing you know, that fan will be posting all over the interwebs about how much of an ass Jhonen is, and how he thinks he’s better than everyone [[he pretty much is]] and they aren’t worth his time [[75% of them AREN’T, and this type of “fan” proves it.]]
anyway, I give this girl MAD props not only for helping to bring more coverage to the protests, but the way she handled herself maturely, and because she just basically introduced the entire world to Invader Zim, kinda.
think about it, though: if she had been flipping off the camera instead of smiling, and saying ‘FUCK YOU PIGS!” yadda yadda, you would ALL be saying what a horrible, immature bitch she is.
really, since when did SMILING become something bad??

When I first saw this picture I thought “GOOD! It’s about time the law did something about people who wear GIR hats!”, but then quickly realized this was a girl protesting as part of Occupy Wall Street.
Suddenly this girl, in my mind, was the most badass GIR hat wearer I had ever seen, existing in a Mad Max style world where she was simply wandering this fucked over wasteland, wearing whatever she found on corpses (a GIR hat in this case), just struggling to survive.
And yet, despite having to fight and claw a living out of a blasted nothingness, she still finds a spark inside to fight against what she thinks is wrong about the hell she lives in.
I imagine that shortly after that frame of video, she let out a monstrous battle-cry like Lord Humongous and head butted that officer, leaving a GIR-faced bruise on his terrified face.
GIR-hatted protester girl, this can of Dinky-Di’s for you.
