OWS storms Wall Street

Quote from THE-BEAKER:

its interesting to see the irony lost on most americans.

it was ok for everyone to protest and have their democratic right to freedom of speech during the arab spring uprising in the other countries.

i counted many commentator on tv saying this is not democratic.

even obama came on tv and said people have a basic right to protest.

then when its at home some americans cant seem to understand what they are protesting about.

talk about out of touch.

are you talking about this?

NYC is on the verge of "England like Riots".

While I disagree with the scumbag socialist,liberals, unions, and anarchist who have hijacked OWS, they are still human and AMERICANS! And if they are peacefully protesting, marching, even if they are a pain in the ass.....they should not be arrested, beat or dragged by the GOONS of NYPD.

The fact that the scumbags protesting are exercising their constitutional rights, gives me piece of mind that my rights will be allow to exist. Once, the GOONS and NAZI LIKE COPS start to beat, drag, pepper spray and arrest protesters who are peaceful because a scum bag mayor does not like the "Drama" and is embarrassed by such a protest, is dangerous TO MY VERY OWN RIGHTS, TO FREEDOM OF SPEECH.

This video shows the hypocritical actions of the SCUM BAG DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP FROM THE IDIOT AND CHIEF TO THE SEC. OF STATE! And the poor scum bags who are protesting on behalf of a bigger GOV, re-election of the SCUM BAG DEMOCRATIC POLITICAL MOVEMENT, have no idea that the very people they champion are violating their rights and beating them. MORONS!
 
I have wondered why this has taken so long, this should have happened at the start of the lehman brothers collapse. [/B]

Best guess is they thought Obama would take care of it.

The Tea Party later protested.

One of the veterans mentioned this on the video PAPA ROACH posted earlier:

New York Post
October 14, 2011

Hundreds of Occupy Wall Street protesters — emboldened by officials backing down this morning from evicting them from their Zuccotti Park campsite for a 7 a.m. cleaning — stormed Wall Street, leaping over barriers and getting into a fracas with cops.

The throng of protesters streamed onto Broadway, blocking traffic, setting up a confrontation with police who are waiting for them on the street.

Things turned predictably violent as cops tackled protesters and chased them up the street — forcing everyone to the sidewalks — in what turned into a melee.

Is this going to escalate further?

Wow, one of my predictions actually came true:

I am not condoning the actions of either side, but here is the deal: Cops have a job to do, to "serve and protect", if you will. When people cross barricades and provoke the cops to action, there is a choice that must be made. Ignore the actions and allow the law to be broken, or enforce the law in the form of containing the protesters to sidewalks and off the streets where the cars and buses are driving??

This is a deliberate provocation, with a known outcome, meant to show the world what "horrible people" the police are for DOING THEIR JOBS. The OWS movement must decide what it stands for and quickly, and begin to speak to that point, while they still have teeth in their mouths.

If you push against those in power, they will push back. The "Arab Spring" was great idea when it was "over there", now we are seeing what it is like when it happens where you live.

Best wishes to all involved, I think I will remain a spectator in this parade.
