That's just fuckn' dumb.

The establishment has already used unrelated violence (suicide and murder) to shut down occupations. All they need now is some dumb shit to start hitting (or worse--by far--shooting at) the cops.

What do you want? Change to the system--or really cool, mass violence.

Non-violent peaceful non-cooperation and resistance will always win in the end. Any try at violent rebellion will bring brutal suppression and the loss of the good will that the majority of Americans feel toward the movement--not to mention many dead people.

That is not what I meant by "Fight Back" sorry if that was confusing. Ass.

So, what did you mean by "fight back" if you didn't mean what the words say?

chill. you are both consistently insightful, so let's keep it that way. we can all accept that we have an emotionally charged situation.

i think we are getting to the point where the "newness" of the occupy movement has worn off, and the establishment basically waited until there was a lull in public support, playing up the idea that these people are dirty and a public nuisance.

so...the big picture is probably less about the local actions taken and more about the national smear campaign...and the question becomes, how do you fight that?

America has lost her beauty.
