Violent revolutions only end up being as bad as those they overthrew.

Given the photo series I've been watching out of the Wall Street "occupation", I'm going to guess the NYPD figured they were given Saturday, Sunday and even Monday to be fools down there and give the tourists a spectacle to gawk at. Enough is Enough at some point though. If it'd been a real protest? Sounds good... The photo series doesn't show a protest though, they show a bunch of middle-upper class kids trying to recreate their concept of what they think the 1960's must have been like or something.
Sorry if some people were rooting for this to 'be something' but it appears it never was. People just can't set up and camp out wherever they please, for however long they please. Society wouldn't work very well for very long with that going on just so kids can feel special and get some TV time. I think Ill conceived would be a fair description of the whole idea.

There are many of us till around from the last time the people in this country had to stand up for their country and their rights. Stand against a government out only for themselves at the cost of the Citizens.The citizens who put them in office and pay their salaries. Although Alexander Haig said let them protest all they want as long as they pay taxes. Haig was and is considered an idiot. What is more discussed is that the Military Industrial Complex and TPTB do not want another another Vietnam and the turmoil that went along with it. I have no idea how the American people have become such cowards. It is not our right it is our duty to stop dictatorship and tyranny. The law of the land is not to protect the government from the people but the people from the government. To those who want to tuck tail and run then run. Question is run to where? Whether we like it or not we are all on a burning ship and the ship is about to sink. We can either try to put the fire out or all be burned alive. Ostrich with the head in the sand will not stop it from being burned alive. You may not like it but being an American means and has always meant a constant fight, a constant battle, A constant war for your freedom.

If these people were so innocent, why are they resisting arrest?
All the protestors had to do is follow instructions, and then they would have been able to plead their case. Once this goes before a judge, each side would be able to present evidence. As a result of resisting arrest, these protestors can no longer plead 'not guilty'.
Now, the police have them resisting arrest on video.
Police knew these protestors would break the law, and they brought cameras to protect themselves from false accusations. It was a smart call on their behalf.

in the french revolution people were disemboweling the folks they encountered who actually had anything of value. they drug the catholic priests and nuns out into the street, stripped them naked and paraded them thru town. they were a hundred times worse then the priests, who were freakin' bad enough. violence doesn't solve anything. all it does it let the few sociopaths in the society, get ahead of the game at the expense of everyone you love and know. governments have so many laws they have to abide by before they can do that to large groups of their own citizens, but in a revolution, the mob mentality kicks in and people becoming roaming mobs of animals who destroy everything in their path.edit on 20-9-2011 by undo because: (no reason given)
