“Very telling the way the TEA Party follows the rules and the Occupiers don’t.”
Telling indeed: “protests” that pride themselves on always abiding by the rules, left OR right, are mainly dog-&-pony shows for the enrichment of their participants’ egos & little else. Both generated by crowds, both with signs, chanting & speeches – but real dissent has only a fleeting resemblance to a prefabricated con-job. The very idea of the TEA Party ever pulling off a direct-action occupation of this length (let alone doing so in the face of some very sincere police hostility) is low comedy at best. So too is the suggestion that it would then be emulated in 900 cities worldwide after five weeks.
Also very telling how yet another veteran has recently been attacked by police (& then ignored by them instead of being treated for serious injuries). Or how another car has mowed down more protestors – whereupon police charged the (again injured & in need of emergency care) people being run over with walking against the light, & let the driver go without any charges, again.
Yes, the growing threat of these insane dope-crazed fiends somehow convincing America to finally wise up & go after the white-collar crime mob that keeps grifting it into bankruptcy must be averted, with deadly force if necessary – FOR FREEDOM!
Perhaps next you could consider looking into making all protestors wear armbands whenever they go outdoors, with numbers tattooed on their arms to ID them – would that make them frighten you less?
