BALTIMORE (WJZ)—The Occupy Wall Street movement causes chaos from Baltimore to the West Coast. In downtown Seattle, police use pepper spray to break up a rowdy protest, injuring an 84-year-old woman and a pregnant woman. It’s one of many violent confrontations around the country as protesters take over public parks and busy streets.
Mike Hellgren explains how some disrupted a high-profile speaking event at Johns Hopkins.
Minutes into his speech at Johns Hopkins University, Occupy movement protesters heckled Karl Rove.
And he fired back.
“If you don’t have the courage to stand here and then ask a question, you’re just showing your moral cowardice,” Rove said.
“Do not be so arrogant and presumptive to think that you’re the only person who has a First Amendment right that needs to be heard,” Rove continued. “Who gave you the right to occupy America? Nobody.”
