Anti NATO Occupiers lie, claiming CPD hit and run
Occupy is spreading a picture of Chicago police supposedly hitting and running over an Occupier during a Occupy march last evening.
This picture was apparently spread by Libor von Schonau, who identifies himself on his twitter as:
LiborVonSchönau:#OWS orgnzr+cofounder»ArtAndStruggle(artist&activist collective)+fmrVChair»MiddleEastCrisisCommittee+Passenger on @USBOATTOGAZA #FreedomFlotilla
Libor says on the twitpic:
BREAKING! Chicago Police just hit & run a man!!!@aclu@nyclu @DemocracyNow @asteris @MMflint#noNATO
“MMflint” is Michael Moore.
They are rejoicing that the pic now has over 20,000 hits.
Only one problem with this of course is that it is a complete and utter lie as Libor, if he took the picture, should know. Citizen Journalist does not intend to link to the pic so as not to increase the hits to the propaganda.
Through the good work of SooperMexican, we can now see videos of the “hit and run” which show clearly man was not run over, not hit, not hurt, but trying to block the van along with others. The van apparently also had its tires slashed, according to other reports.
