The time for peaceful resistance is up

If these people (OWS) wanted to be taken seriously they should've rioted, stormed the banks. If those 10k people wherever stormed the HQ of Chase or something then I'd say rage on. I believe it would have spread like a wild fire, have been epic. A real revolution could have occurred. While I understand their would be much collateral damage, I believe the time for peaceful resistance is up. Sitting in a park absolutely accomplishes diddly squat.

I know their are a bunch of OWS threads.. Let's focus more on a fictional scenario of what would have happened had they stormed the HQ of one of these banks, all 10k of them. Would it have spread? Would it have been a good idea? Would thousands more have joined?

Let's also focus on weather or not you agree if the time for peaceful resistance is over.

What say you, ATS

YEA!

'cause Malcolm X did way more for the Civil Rights movement than Doctor Martin Luther King Jr!

Wait, no he didn't.

Well... Most violent protests are way more successful than nonviolent protest and simple civil disobedience.

Oh wait... No they aren't.

Flags on these forums are obviously given out by an electoral college and not a popular vote.

Yea, two people who were murdered by the elite. We're coming face to face with the true enemies, the true evil of this planet. This is not a civil rights movement. This is self defense from foreign oppressors before the whole world is theirs! WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
