Are OWS protesters gearing up for violence?

Posted 16 Nov 2011 in class warfare, economy, Occupy Wall Street

The Occupy Wall Street movement isn’t happy that they’ve been legally evicted from Zuccotti Park. And it’s sounding like some of them might be preparing for a day of violence in retaliation.

The loss of their camp at Zuccotti Park doesn’t seem to be slowing down the Occupy Wall Street movement as protesters are calling for “a national day of direct action” on Thursday.

According to their website, protesters are planning three major actions Thursday starting with a “shut down” of Wall Street.

It all starts with a rally in Liberty Square starting at 7 a.m. to “put an end to Wall Street’s reign of terror.”

Then, protesters will fan out to all five boroughs of the city in what’s being called Occupy the Subway.

They plan on gathering at 16 subways stations around New York City to take their message to the trains.

Finally, they say tens of thousands of protesters will end the day in Foley Square followed by a march to theBrooklyn Bridge to mark the two month anniversary of the Occupy Wall Street movement.

…While the official movement is planning its day of action, other individuals seem to be making plans of their own.

In a video posted on YouTube after protesters were evicted from Zuccotti Park, a demonstrator in the crowd says “On the 17th, we’re going to burn New York City to the ground.”

Later in the video, he then goes on to say “No more talking. They’ve got guns, we’ve got bottles. They’ve got bricks, we’ve got rocks…in a few days you’re going to see what a Molotov cocktail can do to Macy’s.”

The fact that these OWS leftists compare their whiny demands with the Tiananmen Square Massacre of 1989  just goes to show how deluded the Left has become. Those pro-democracy Chinese students were protesting against a heavy-handed, totalitarian Communist government that killed anyone who disagreed with them. These American protesters are simply railing against people who earn more money than they do. And many in the OWS movement are actually pushing for Communism to be implemented in the United States — the very ideology that ordered the Tiananmen Massacre. Now these same “progressives” are threatening violence because they’ve been forced out of their disease-ridden encampment?

These OWS protesters are nothing more than useful idiots for the Obama administration. Wall Street has donated more to Obama than all of the GOP candidates combined. Yet the protesters are targeting bankers on Wall Street rather than the occupant of the White House who peddles his influence to the highest bidders. And while the Occupy movement mindlessly engages in drum circles and group chanting, President Obama continues to stonewall transparency, to play politics with America’s energy problems, and to bungle the U.S. economy, putting record numbers of Americans on Food Stamps while engaging in staggeringly arrogant cronyism. Nice work, Occupiers. You’re doing a bang-up job of distracting from the Obama status quo you claim to despise.

    But you’re doing a better job of lying about the morality of Wall Street, which if you read Tabbi’s new book on the subject demonstrates pervasive corruption leading to ill-gotten undeserved gargantuan sums of wealth at the expense of the working middle class.–and with direct collusion by a bought-off government, and stupid bloggers.

      Why on Earth would I want to read something from Rolling Stone‘s left-wing propagandist? I’ve already read and heard the Occupy movement’s many indictments of Wall Street and they are utterly fallacious. And their demands are rooted in pure envy. Sure, there’s corruption on Wall Street — that’s nothing new. But that doesn’t affect me in the slightest. That’s the beauty of capitalism. I don’t have to invest in or patronize business with which I take issue. I can spend my money elsewhere.

      The corruption in our government, however, steals directly from the working middle-class as well as the wealthy, and uses their money for nefarious purposes. And thanks to the willful blindness of the OWS movement, it’s continuing unabated.

      I reject your allegation that I’m somehow lying about the “morality” of the Occupy movement. Their actions speak for themselves. That, and their numerous signs with ignorant statements like “tax the rich” and “Marx was right.” You just don’t like the fact that people are rejecting the OWS movement because of its strong anti-American sentiment, which might explain why you immediately fell to using ad hominem in your comment.
