I’m starting to wonder if the real intent here is to “launch” the movement (IOW, take it mainstream) by provoking a police over-response along the lines of Chicago 1968 and Kent State.
Scenario would be the cops move in to deal with the low-level crime and public health/sanitation issues. The protestors, completely wound up and conditioned to distrust law enforcement and resist by their leadership, riot. This then triggers a MUCH LARGER police response, leading to mass casualties among the protesters.
Which would then, theoretically, stampede middle America/the Silent Majority into support of the protesters.
Sort of like the 48% of Americans who pay no income taxes whatsoever who want to increase taxes on the other 52%.

I want rustlers, cut throats, murderers, bounty hunters, desperados, mugs, pugs, thugs, nitwits, halfwits, dimwits, vipers, snipers, con men, Indian agents, Mexican bandits, muggers, buggerers, bushwhackers, hornswogglers, horse thieves, bull dykes, train robbers, bank robbers, ass-kickers, shit-kickers and Methodists.

As I look back on OWS I know realize this was bound to happen. The people that are there are not there because of a focused cause. They are there because it seemed like the right thing for them to do because they where told so. They are now exercising their liberal Utopia and it is turning ugly.
The founders of OWS wanted revolution. They got more of a Woodstock without the music because the protesters are idiots. Just listen to them speak.
And when they say “flies”, I expect that is literal, considering how flies buzz around piles of excrement. Those “Occupy” venues must be some of the smelliest, filthiest places on earth right now.

Q: Which one of these doesn’t belong in the group?
1. The American Revolution (1776).
2. The French Revolution (1789).
3. The Russian Revolution (1917).
4. The Chinese Revolution (1949).
5. The Cuban Revolution (1959).
6. The Cambodian Revolution (1975).
A: The correct answer is number 1. The American Revolution.
Even a quick study of the history of revolutions in this world shows conclusively that there are major characteristics that they share: THE IDENTIFICATION AND ELIMINATION OF ENEMIES, and the use of TERROR as a means of securing the goals and power of the revolutionaries. They all murdered in such mass that it is incomprehensible. Hate and murder are their legacies.
Another characteristic of revolutions is that the revolutionaries all think they’re smart enough rule the world. And they think that they can come up with some perfect form of government.
In total contrast to all that stands the genius of the Founders and the Revolution they fought, and the Constitution they developed. The major characteristic they shared was a profound distrust of anyone who thought they were smart enough to rule the world. The Founders didn’t try to create a perfect form of government. They very successfully sought merely to limit government - and thus the power of those who think they’re smart enought to rule the world. The Founders wisely understanding this, left the PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS in the hands of each citizen.
Unfortunately that is something modern liberals and putative revolutionaries don’t understand (of if they do understand it they don’t like it ...) .

Think they would be speaking of this for more than a few weeks. This crime would be entered into the annals of ‘Tea Party ‘ history...and it would be recast as a crime in the ‘multiples’ as well.
Good post.
well, okay then.
Yep...Ron Paul is pretty popular with the Zuccotti Park crowd...
