This is Brent.Brent is an aspiring comic who recently lost his dayjob.He thought the message of Occupy Wall Street was a worthy cause.So he supported it by visiting and attending meetings.He even started a Podcast where he interviewed comedians at Zucotti.Last night, the NYPD struck Brent in the head because he (correctly) asserted that what they were doing was a travesty of justice and done in complete disregard of the United States’ Constitution.  Brent is making the same face I’d be making in that situation, but I’d be sweatier, since I’d have been running away while churlishly shrieking for several blocks.

I know Brent, he’s a good dude. This should not be happening in America or anywhere else. Shame on the Police. Shame on Bloomberg. I will definitely be visiting OWS this week.

It’s easy to write off the protestors as weirdos. I actually know Brent and he is the nicest guy. Guy wouldn’t hurt a fly.
