1. Violence in the streets? I'm surprised it has taken this long...

People should have been in the street with torches back in 2003 when Bush-Cheney-Colin Powell and Rumsfeld lied us into a needless war that cost $3 trillion. (All the while our roads and bridges crumbled and Amerca was jobless)

2. If they cut food stamps, wouldn't be a bit surprised.

3. Yes - and if food and gas prices keep going up.

6. If they cut food stamps, a massive hunger-strike should be launched.

Since using violence would only serve to boost profits for the private prison system owners, organizing a massive hunger-strike should be the only truly effective alternative (one or two weeks, and the PTB will fold).

9. umm, if they have no access to food stamps, a hunger strike will be FORCED on many

no one will need to start one.

4. Bonnie and Clyde et al were seen by many as heros

During the last Depression the victims knew who had robbed them....the same Mega-predators who haunt Wall Street now. Banks were despised.

5. Using violence would only ensure more profits for the private prison system

Using violence would not 'work' but a massive nation-wide hunger strike would (after a week or two).

10. Im thinking people that resort to violence would already be hungry

and a big reason why they would be running through the streets with torch in hand
And seriously, you think the same people that are resposible for this mess, will all of a sudden care that we are starving ourselves to death? The Elite would love if 6 billion of us just died and went away. They know the world cant suppot this many people. We would be doing them a favor.

7. people are frustrated and angry.

8. It is definitely possible. Think of the riots of the past 50 years....

.....most happened against a background of discrimination and poverty. But poverty and discrimination over something besides race could happen today, and it could be provoked by a single incident which just sends desperate people over the edge.
