How much more violent does the Occupy movement have to get before

They won't wake up. They are the product of decades of class envy and nearly 3 years of a meticulously planned and executed class warfare campaign that completed their brainwashing. They will rationalize everything negative and stand by their cause. They are the useful idiots that help nations fall. A talk show host I listen to calls them Occutards and Barry's Brats. Occutards is a very good description. Their reasoning powers were arrested years ago and they've voluntarily, even eagerly, lined up for and received blinders.

I WAS a rational supporter. The incident with the kids was the final straw (though there were many other straws as well, such as firebombings, throwing glass at police, destroying private property, etc). Although I support most of message, I cannot support the delivery. I fully support separating congress from the influence of wall street. What I do not support is the violence that is trying to deliver that message. Good luck Occupy. If you have been more like Occupy New Hampshire or Occupy the North Country (2 very peaceful and coherent branches of the group) I would have stayed.

I am sure that once the violence escalates - oh wait... or when the crime runs rampant - oh wait... how about when people are getting raped - oh wait... when people start dieing I am sure..... well crap, I have no idea what/who will stop it. I guess they are getting their point across no rule of law no civility no sense yep, I think I got it now.

hi parated it got completely out of hand and what ever good was ever intended they became like goons and terrorists, destruction of property and fire bombing all acts of war not of repairing transgressions. It might have started out with some good ideas but they turned into goons. rational occupiers should get the hell o ut of this now.

I think this is just what happens when these types of acts are considered to be okay by the mainstream. I don't hear any prominent political figures in America discouraging this stuff. I don't see media collectively showing honesty about how they report it. This has to embolden people to keep pushing toward violence. I'm not sure how old you are--older than me, so maybe you were around--but it reminds me more and more of those so-called "peaceful" antiwar protestors who broke and burned and barricaded everything in their path in the late 60s/70s. And the more it was passed off as just peaceful gatherings, the more violent it became. Supposedly peaceful antiwar protestors and student occupiers - that's what spawned The Weatherman terrorists if I'm not mistaken. And we all know how much America loves that group. Some of these terrorists are now in the 1%. I need to shut up before I make myself sick. I think the people who know what's going on are the people who always knew and unfortunately the only ones that will know. If people aren't denouncing these loons yet, they're probably not gonna.

Not only is all this happening that you spoke of, realize everyone says the mom and pop shops are the heart of America. Well its sure kind of hard to run your business when you have protestors outide your door. Watched a lady last week in tears because she had to shut down her business permanently because she could not keep it open because of all the protestors. If these idiots were thinking straight they all would be parked outside the White House instead of in front of small businesses that cannot operate. Its really sad. Also heard Alabama told their college students to go help occupy Wall Street and they would give them credit for being out of the classroom. Guess I am glad I am older and not a part of this generation of give me everything. I sincerely served the military and invented my own business of 25 years to aid in raising my children. I would never have allowed them to partake in this idiocy. Do you think these idiots will be at the polls to try and stop people from voting?
