and all the peaceful protests will mean nothing.

People can only take so much, and then they will take no more.

and that is what we try to prevent. I imagine once that happens, the US will look much like the other countries fighting for their freedoms. We may become a war zone. I don't think protest will end, things will just become bad.

ANd this seems to be what the establishment Wall Street and bought government officials want. Basically they would rather see the entire world destroyed than them brought down.

The OWS movement will not stop. We will not shut the fuck up and sit down!

I would hope not, but I hope the movement stays to the higher path.

I wasn't surprised when I heard that the US had been short sold on 9/11. I won't be surprised when it happens again...

that is preached so much at Occupy. They are trying very hard. There are always going to be people who think a little graffitti or vandalism is ok, but they risk much for such schoolboy pranks.

and we know provacatuers do exist.

This is a clear example of "lazy cop" syndrome. First the man is saying "why are you approaching me?". Notice none of the officers says a word. They don't say "you are under arrest", they just try to grab him. When he tries to get away, the bitch cop tazes him. Tazers are only supposed to be used when a suspect has become aggressive towards an officer. Trying to get away is not being aggressive. Hope this video will be helpful in an unnecessary force lawsuit against these pigs.
