The most “radical” ones I met were generally the night watchmen minarchist stripe of “anarchists”. Legalization of drugs, prostitution, no restriction on abortion, etc. Not the black bandana, rock-throwing kind. But even these were for LESS centralized government and control, not MORE, as “facism” would suggest.
I don’t believe there is any organization to OWS by the looks of it. I still don’t know what they want…
Agreed.
Well, didn’t you see how the evil Tea Party effectively controlled the mid-term elections with its Fascist element?
This was never intended to be a “peaceful” demonstration. The organizers wanted to gather the people and have them mill around until they got so frustrated that they started to do what bored, frustrated people do when they believe that everything and everyone is out to get them.For all those comparing OWS to the Tea Party protests I can’t understand how you cannot see the difference. Are the words lawful assembly too difficult for you to comprehend?

OAKLAND, Calif. - A day of demonstrations in Oakland that began as a significant step toward expanding the political and economic influence of the Occupy Wall Street movement, ended with police in riot gear arresting dozens of protesters who had marched through downtown to break into a vacant building, shattering windows, spraying graffiti and setting fires along the way.
“We go from having a peaceful movement to now just chaos,” said protester Monique Agnew, 40

Is Oakland ever not in chaos? :ehh: As soon as OWS hit Oakland it was a disaster in the making.For all those comparing OWS to the Tea Party protests I can’t understand how you cannot see the difference.

Ironically written about the riots in oakland after a football game…atleast from what I was told.
I wonder if they are being charged as such? I’ll bet not.
For those that don’t know, that is exactly what they want. They want to be so difficult to control that the call in the national guard, and maybe implement martial law to restore control.
As far as I’m concerned if that’s what it takes then go for it. This group has done nothing but hurt, maim, and destroy. I don’t know anyone irl who supports them. How much longer do they need to allow this to continue? How many more people need to be hurt? How much more property needs to be destroyed? How many more need to suffer a loss of their livelihood before this is stopped? This group does not care about the American who has to work for a living. They only care about their own selfish wants and desires.
They want it so that they can get the current government to say “in order to preserve the stability and peace, we are suspending 2012 elections until further notice…:”
Right, and the military cannot help. Violation of Posse Comitatus…unless the President is willing to commit US troops to restore order with Congressional approval. But, given his liberal hand in applying US military intervention, its probably not out of the question. Maybe he’ll send some predator drones.
