siftbotsays...Self promoting this video and sending it back into the queue for one more try; last queued Tuesday, September 27th, 2011 9:26am PDT - promote requested by original submitter Boise_Lib.
Jinxsays...I should point out that the most recent unrest in cities around the UK weren't protests, it was rioting. It wasn't about making a political point, it started as retribution for a specific police killing and while it was certainly fueled by a feeling of injustice and malcontent I certainly don't want to be associated with those criminals in any way.
As for the protest @ wallstreet. I certainly hope it spreads and grows larger. The media might not be reporting on it, but information is spread easily by the people. Talk about it on your twitter/facebook and the message will get out.
lantern53says...Tea Party protests in Washington were very orderly. I don't believe anyone was peppersprayed and now the Tea Party is seen as a powerful voice in politics.

The more I see about these yahoos, the less sympathy I feel. The protestors were clogging up the streets and sidewalks and bringing the area to a standstill. People couldn't drive or get to work. They were creating a disturbance, disrupting citizens, and otherwise being a bunch of jerks. That sort of mess can be dangerous in a big city. It stops ambulances. It stops fire trucks. It stops emergency services. It causes accidents.
So the police got called in to clear a way so normal traffic could keep going. The protestors refused to disperse or cooperate. Therefore in order to accomplish their jobs, the police had to start hauling people away and using crowd control. That means they break out the pepper spray, nightsticks, nets, plastic cuffs, and start arresting people. Duh.
So when that happens the protestors start whining they are 'peaceful'? And the police are 'violent'? Nope. Doesn't wash. If you'd wanted a peaceful solution then you'd have dispersed when the police asked - or better yet you wouldn't have created a problem to start with. But that didn't happen, so the cops had to force it.
You don't get to cry foul when that happens. When you illegally block traffic and create a danger to others then the cops have every right to force you to clear out - and they have every right to use force if you are not cooperative. MLK and Ghandi accomplished their goals with peaceful protests against real oppression. These Wall Street yahoos are just a bunch of leftist cretins who are trying to stir up trouble. I think this opinion about sums it up...

"It’s become impossible to tell where a deluded leftism stops and a respectable liberalism starts. For all the liberal complaining about conservative extremism becoming the norm, today’s liberal media culture earns its daily bread by flattering (or employing) everyone from Al Sharpton to Michael Moore to 9/11 Truthers like rapper Mos Def. And so liberalism continues its steady transformation into a self-righteous, incoherent, solution-free blur. Take a long, hard look at the fur-capped, begoggled, and topless misfits on Wall Street. They’re funhouse mirror images of our more respected liberal elites."
