Occupy Wall Street increasingly turning violent

[Silver Rocket Bitches!]

New York - 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.
"We were just marching. They're assaulting us," said protestor James Sinclair, 27.

DENVER – A large number of police officers in riot gear made dozens of arrests as they broke up the Occupy Denver protest in a park outside the Capitol building in downtown Denver Friday morning.
Denver police spokesman Sonny Jackson says at least 24 people were arrested. The Colorado State Patrol says many face charges related to criminal misconduct.
There were a few brief moments of pushing and shoving between protesters and police, but things remained relatively calm and there were no injuries.

"We will continue to protest, to occupy," a message from an Occupy Denver protester said on Twitter. "We will find a way to do so. They can't stop this movement's future."

BOSTON (FOX 25 / MyFoxBoston.com) - The Coast Guard in Boston confirmed that a woman in uniform was harassed and spat upon near Occupy Boston protesters.
The woman was walking to the train and said protesters spit on her twice, called her foul names and even threw a water bottle at her.
Now, the Coast Guard is warning all staff working on Atlantic Avenue to avoid those protesters while in uniform.

I'm very curious to see how this whole movement plays out.

[sunshine05]

What is the ultimate goal? If we believe TPTB orchestrated this (I'm convinced of that), what are they planning? Government controlled banking?

I find it so creepy how they do that parroting....a bunch of zombies repeating everything.

The ultimate goal?


"from each according to his ability, to each according to his need"



That is, until all the assholes up top kill off the bulk of the population, leaving only enough slaves to provide them with the creature comforts to which they have grown accustomed.

[Joe King]

I don't agree with how the police are handling the situation, but what makes the protestors think they should be able to just block the street? Why can't they march on the sidewalk?

[AndreaGail]

Our local paper did a news story on a local occupy rally. I got a kick out of this quote..


Future meetings and decisions will need to be made before overnight camping can be permitted at the main location in order to comply with city ordinances. Ideas are being suggested that the tent-city can be made north of the official city limits, but no decision has been made

[Spectrism]

I see this event as schooling. The elite are pissing off the cops so that they see ANY protestors as stupid violators. The people will begin to rebel and get violent with the cops. This will bring on more cops and the "need" for more government controls. People will be taught that they must stay in the flock and the strays will take lumps.

[General of Darkness]

KEEP THIS IN MIND FOLKS. When we had the Rodney King riots in 1992, the cops called in sick or ran. They acted like little bitches because people were shooting at them. I think they understand that their "supposed" control is very very thin, that's why they are trained to act aggressively, once people don't give a shit, the cops would get destroyed.

Keep your powder dry.

Keep your powder dry.Yea, you're probably right there. The police do seem vastly outnumbered.
Although if that were to happen, the police would simply step things up and probably start shooting.
After that, they'll just start clearing the streets with water cannons and possibly start using those sound devices designed to disperse crowds.

No, stuff like what the protestors are doing is not going to lead to anything good IMHO.

[BrewTech]

I don't agree with how the police are handling the situation, but what makes the protestors think they should be able to just block the street? Why can't they march on the sidewalk?

Exactly! They really should try to be more quiet, and stay out of everyone's way. In fact, if they could just find a way to protest at home, maybe over the internet on a message board or something, that would be a lot better. That way nobody gets upset, or hurt feelings.

What if you needed to travel down that street to get to work, or home, or anywhere else you need to go? Why are their Rights to use the streets more important than yours or mine?

The point is to shut things down to force people to listen to you.

[Joe King]

The only ones listening are the police and they are answering with batons pepper spray and arrest.
...and yes, I understand the whole civil disobeidence angle, but the individual ones actually getting arrested are only hurting themselves. Staying on the sidewalk they'll at least still be there to protest.

This being the case, it's amazing that THE WHOLE FUCKING WORLD SEEMS TO KNOW ABOUT IT.

[Joe King]

And what is the World doing about it other than watching it on TV?

Personally, I'd think there'd be a lot more sympathy for them if they were seen as not committing acts of civil disobedience.

[BrewTech]

And what is the World doing about it other than watching it on TV?



Well, considering the number of cities in the U.S. (and other parts of the world) now involved in the #occupy movement, I'm going to have to say they are getting on board. Just a wild ass guess. I've heard that protests about important stuff tend to expand and grow, but I could have just gotten bad info... can't believe everything ya hear!

[Joe King]

It may very well grow, but why can't it stick to sidewalks and other pedesterian areas? They'll still be seen. Or is this to create violent acts in order to give something more for people to look at? That if it was just sidewalks filled with people all over town marching with signs that there'd be no compelling reason to watch?

[Santa]

Think of it as theater. Street theater in which performers are attempting to win the spectators hearts.

I suppose we are the spectators.

I guess i'm comparing them and their blocking of the streets along the same line as the way I see those "critical mass" bike rides and how they block the streets in their "protest rides".
While I believe in their Right to use the street, it needs to be done in a way that we can all use the street, not just them using it.
I fail to see how the same size crowd on the sidewalks sends any less of a message. In fact, it'll look a lot bigger as they'll be that much more spread out. ie more contact/visibility with those watching.
...and if the po-po still beat people for staying on the sidewalk, it'll just look all the worse.

I tend to disagree, how can protests look larger as an ant colony vs a total occupation. hmm... nope cant think along them fluoridated lines. Your thinking fits well with most MSM mongering folks but most that made their way here thing otherwise.

More exposure should be better, no?

Absolutely correct, I will announce they should carry mirrors to reflect others to each other that way someone that did not notice might notice? I turned the fluoride up, I am starting to understand you now.

[Joe King]

I turned the fluoride up, I am starting to understand you now.No, I don't think you do. If all of them are congregated in a particular area, their exposure to people outside their protest is limited to those also in the same area. If they are more spread out, more people outside the protest would have to pass by, or through the crowd to get where they are going. The way it is now, only the ones around the edges of the protest area are coming into contact with those whose opinions they are trying to sway. Everyone else is preaching to the choir.

Joe, you do realize there are statutes that prohibit bicycles on the sidewalk, right? I mean, we can't just have people running roughshod over the fake laws, can we? Maybe the protesters should all ride skateboards and mow down innocent sheeples on the public sidewalks?

Let's see, we can ban signs under ordinance for advertising. Can't have unlicensed advertising for your Kool-Aid stand.

They already can't speak because amplification is outlawed.

Perhaps they should all just have a nice cup of "shut the fuck up" and you are invited.

Those protestors should all wear orange T-shirts, and stand quietly in designated fenced in areas so
the water cannon operators will know who is who and can enter the cities to subdue them
without being harmful to the legitimate folks just doing good old fashion business in the bank buildings. :)

Even if they stayed on the sidewalk The agent provacatures would tell others to block the street and instigate violence.

But we dont have to worry about that because there are no plain clothes pigs in the middle of those the demostrations.

Just like the ones I didnt see at the 2004 republican convention doing exactly what i said they werent doing

Bicycles belong on the road. People on foot belong on the sidewalk. A skateboard might get someone to the protest, but once there in the crowd, pick it up and carry it. Crowds are no places for skatboarding.



Let's see, we can ban signs under ordinance for advertising. Can't have unlicensed advertising for your Kool-Aid stand.

They already can't speak because amplification is outlawed.Their "mic check" thing seems to be filling that gap for them.

If people are stupid enough to do something they know they'll get arrested for just because some person unknown to them tells them to do it, then they get what they deserve for allowing others to do their thinking for them and to be used as a tool.

Going to a protest is no reason to switch your brain off.

[Twisted Titan]

You have got to understand

NOTHING IS GOING TO APPEASE THEM.

If they complied with the demand of the oppressors ......... the oppressors willl keep changing the rules until they are doing something illegal and the order is given so the jackboots can gleeful lay in and crack the skulls of the "offenders"


History is repeating itself.......... read about "the bonus army" and what FDR did to them.

It was Hoover who started it .....but FDR finisihed it

[Joe King]

They can't make it illegal for pedestrians to use the sidewalks. That is why they were built in the first place.

Also, we've had ordinances against sleeping in public and erecting tents in parks and on sidewalks for a long time and no one complains when it's been enforced against homeless people.
...and the same goes for jaywalking, which is basicly what the protestors in the street are doing.

(10-25) 19:37 PDT OAKLAND -- Hundreds of protesters backing the Occupy movement, some clashing with police, sought tonight to retake an encampment outside City Hall that officers from more than a dozen law enforcement agencies had cleared away 12 hours earlier.

Occupy Oakland supporters who were chased from Frank Ogawa Plaza at 5 a.m. had said they wouldn't give up their 15-day-old encampment easily. In the afternoon, some 400 people gathered at a public library at 14th and Madison streets to march toward the plaza, which police had barricaded and city officials had declared would be closed for at least several days.

"We're going to march and reclaim what was already ours, what we call Oscar Grant Plaza and what they call City Hall," said protester Krystof Lopaur, referring to the unarmed man shot to death by a BART police officer in January 2009.
The crowd grew as the sun went down and protesters marched around downtown streets, but police kept people away from the former encampment at 14th and Broadway.

The scene outside City Hall was largely peaceful, but it was a different story a few blocks west on Washington Street. Officers in riot gear hemmed in protesters around 6 p.m. and attempted to arrest one person, as about 50 more surrounded them shouting, "Let him go, let him go."

Protesters threw turquoise and red paint at the riot police officers' faces and helmets. Some led the crowd in chanting, "This is why we call you pigs."
Others pleaded with the agitators to be peaceful and return to the march, yet some protesters tried to fight with police and were clubbed and kicked in return.
Police fired at least two flash grenades to try to disperse the crowd.

Some protesters who avoided conflict and wanted to show their support for the Occupy Wall Street movement were displeased by the violent turns.
"They didn't have to force police into that situation," said Helen Walker, 46, a nurse from Albany. "It was totally provoked, and if I could have, I would have stopped those idiots from throwing paint."

At about 6:20 p.m. protesters tried to enter Frank Ogawa Plaza, but were met by a line of police in riot gear who quickly put on gas masks and ordered the crowd to disperse. After activists came face-to-face with police, they sat down in the intersection before moving on and trying to enter the plaza from another side street.

"Keep moving and not getting arrested shows pluckiness and originality and a great American spirit," said Isaac Simons, an Oakland resident marching with the group.

At 7:30 p.m., the crowd was down to around 200 people, and police were using a loudspeaker to warn people that "chemical agents will be used" against them if they don't disperse.

The confrontation came hours after police swept through Occupy Oakland's 15-day-old encampment outside City Hall and a second, smaller camp nearby, arresting 85 people who were protesting as part of a nationwide movement against economic inequality and corporate greed.

City officials said they had been forced to clear the encampments because of sanitary and public safety concerns.
Protesters said the arrest total was 105, and said three people had suffered injuries - one a head wound and two with broken hands. City officials said they knew of no injuries.

The police, drawn from 18 law enforcement agencies throughout the East Bay, began making arrests shortly before 5 a.m. and removing tents and makeshift shelters. Within five minutes the bulk of the arrests had been completed, and arrestees were led away in plastic handcuffs. Most were arrested for unlawful assembly and illegal lodging, police said.

Especially because IMO this whole thing is rigged by the BLTs, and I would be playing right into their hands, due to my integrity forcing me to attack a cop that punched a woman in the face for no reason.

Whoever is organizing this should schedule a day where EVERYBODY who is pissed off and won't take it any more gets to join the demonstration.

If everybody who feels like that shows up, the elite will have to eat their shorts.

For some reason, I am beginning to remember videos of the people in Argentina who went out in the streets banging their pots and pans. All of them. Just when the banks stole their life savings. I can't imagine Americans departing from their TV sets with pots and pans to bang in the streets. But the sheer numbers of people in the Argentina streets put the fear of god into the power structure.

[7] (http://drbo.org/x/d?b=drb&bk=73&ch=12&l=7#x) And there was a great battle in heaven, Michael and his angels fought with the dragon, and the dragon fought and his angels:
[8] (http://drbo.org/x/d?b=drb&bk=73&ch=12&l=8#x) And they prevailed not, neither was their place found any more in heaven.
[9] (http://drbo.org/x/d?b=drb&bk=73&ch=12&l=9#x) And that great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, who seduceth the whole world; and he was cast unto the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.
[10] (http://drbo.org/x/d?b=drb&bk=73&ch=12&l=10#x) And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying: Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: because the accuser of our brethren is cast forth, who accused them before our God day and night.
[11] (http://drbo.org/x/d?b=drb&bk=73&ch=12&l=11#x) And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of the testimony, and they loved not their lives unto death.
[12] (http://drbo.org/x/d?b=drb&bk=73&ch=12&l=12#x) Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you that dwell therein. Woe to the earth, and to the sea, because the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, knowing that he hath but a short time.
[13] (http://drbo.org/x/d?b=drb&bk=73&ch=12&l=13#x) And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman, who brought forth the man child:
[14] (http://drbo.org/x/d?b=drb&bk=73&ch=12&l=14#x) And there were given to the woman two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the desert unto her place, where she is nourished for a time and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
[15] (http://drbo.org/x/d?b=drb&bk=73&ch=12&l=15#x) And the serpent cast out of his mouth after the woman, water as it were a river; that he might cause her to be carried away by the river. [16] (http://drbo.org/x/d?b=drb&bk=73&ch=12&l=16#x) And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the river, which the dragon cast out of his mouth.
[17] (http://drbo.org/x/d?b=drb&bk=73&ch=12&l=17#x) And the dragon was angry against the woman: and went to make war with the rest of her seed, who keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
