If your opponent is easily angered-Provoke him!

He has shown you what he fears most. The fence around the park , The bible walk , The use of military on peaceful protesters.
He fears a occupation of D.C. . It is all about optics for his sake that is why he fears this.
If the occupation stays long enough he will break I see this as a certainty.
And by keeping the protest concentrated in one city that removes the cover that arsonists & looters are using. They need to be stopped by legal methods but diverting Police resources is allowing them too much havoc. And it also reflects very poorly on the real protesters.This has a precedence when "Bonus Army" forces went unpaid they camped there for months.

It takes away a huge problem-Looting & arson under cover of protest.

(93 posts)I'm a very long time reader. Since the Bush Admin I have been here almost daily as one of the places I get news. It is a great news aggregator, IMO. I almost consider it a home.
To be honest, I have an agenda for setting up an account. Maybe I'll enjoy it and keep posting but I need help. Once I get to ten posts I will start an op. I am having a difficult time finding protests and am concerned about setting up one as an event on facebook under my name. Tonight I will be at the local courthouse protesting. I might be by myself. So many of the people here have knowledge in this area. I know someone can help.
Again, thank you.

And I am looking forward to your OP.
