That these things might fade away if it weren't for the infusions of violence and heavy-handedness?


Probably would.  Doesn't play well with one set of agendas, though.

But goes fine with another... so it all evens out...

I don't share my thoughts because I think it will change the minds of people who think differently.  I share my thoughts to show the people who already think like me that they are not alone.

"According to police, around 25 people tried smashing the windows of the cafe with eight-foot long steel pipes at around 8:45 p.m. after attending the Anarchist book fair earlier in the day. "Patrons fearing that they would be hit by flying glass hid under tables," the police said in a statement. "Several" officers were assaulted with pipes and bottles, the police added."

I named one of our cats Chairman Meow.  Yeah, I know off topic.

Oh, the black bloc ... people, who most OWSers don't support due to their insistence on using violence, will continue their bull regardless. They just want an excuse to break smile.

I remember when they infiltrated the Tea Party.  What a mess!

Ah yes, more upstanding pee partiers for some in here to admire. I think patric was at this protest (obvious NSFW)...

Someone get Hoss a pacifier.

Do you think one loud drunk in a park represents the Occupy Movement as much as one angry tax protester flying his plane into the IRS represents the Tea Party?

Is this the first stop for you in this thread? There are so many examples of pee partying misbehavior that it is to the point of expectation. But by all means, equate the plane guy and whatever other example of tea party misconduct with the rapes, deaths, murders, drug abuse, child abuse, blah blah blah that has been going on at the pee parties.
