Occupy Wall St. and the Second Amendment

[giblets]

That's not a christian attitude. If greenpeace stormed your workplace and everyone started beating them would you laugh? I'd try to stop them. I'd try to stop them if they we right wing protesters too. I don't believe people deserve to be beat uo, certainly not for standing up for their beliefs.

Don't you also think that killing people in order to enforce the law is justified?

I said SOME people aren't nonviolent. I really think it's crazy to even think they were inciting violence. I dk what you mean by obtuse.

Just drop it.

[Elok]

I suppose I'd try to moderate them, assuming my better instincts prevailed. It's pretty hard to keep people from beating the snot out of someone who just cost them thousands of dollars.

What should you do about a hostage taker who is going to start killing his hostages?

I probably would want to kill him, just like if strangers stormed into my house and started screaming and blowing horns and stuff.

You're too stupid.

One point that hasn't been brought up today-
It seems like a lot of people turned up for today's protest in NYC. Not just your crazy hippy types, but a lot of middle class looking types, some with their children.

This seems to suggest that the 'occupy' movement has struck a chord with at least some of the middle class and that there is more to come, dispite what pundits and municipal officials might want.

And I still wonder - in a few weeks the Wall St. bonuses will be announced. Will the highly deserved multi million dollar bonuses rekindle the proles hatred of the moneyed class? And will things escalate?

About a thousand. So no.

EDIT: that was earlier. They seem to have gotten up to 2-3k after the union people got out of work....

[KrazyHorse]

They are the 0.01%

Doesn't have too much of a ring to it, does it...

Wow. Source?

The legit news oranizations say 'several thousand'

... you say 'about a thousand'. What is your source?

[Hauldren Collider]

Protest rallies in DC routinely churn out numbers much larger than this. The only thing notable about this protest movement is how much noise they are making and the fact that they don't seem to think laws apply to them. That's the only reason they are getting attention.

Learn to read, you ****ing muppet. My edit showed up 8 minutes before this post.

There were about a thousand during the day, which swelled to 2-3k at around 6:30 or so (as union members joined).

[KrazyHorse]

As for the "biased" reporting of OWS, yes they are bised in the same way that Pravda was biased.

The source for the 1k was Bloomberg and the NYPD circa 4:30pm

[Uncle Sparky]

Wow. You know how to change the clock on you computer. You are smarter than you look.

Washington protests drew 200 people...other cities had literally dozens turn out
