Who Is Behind the ‘US Day of Rage’ to ‘Occupy’ Wall Street this September 17th?
The Blaze ^ | August 19th, 2011 | Tiffany Gabbay

Posted on 08/19/2011 9:40:53 PM PDT by hreardon

What, exactly, is a “US Day of Rage?” Well, on September 17th we may find out for certain, but until then, The Blaze is revealing what information does exist about this very nefarious-sounding campaign.

A US Day of Rage is the title given to a day of ostensibly “non-violent” civil disobedience orchestrated by a group of radicals — that reportedly include SEIU’s Stephen Lerner and ACORN founder Wade Rathke (who, coincidentally, formerly served as president of SEIU’s local New Orleans branch) — targeting Wall Street and U.S. capitalism. It’s worth noting that the title of the movement — if its intentions are indeed non-violent in nature — appears to contradict itself slightly.

But what is perhaps even more interesting than its title is who is allegedly behind the movement.

I know this is mean, but I am hoping these “radicals” bring their tents and try to take over NYC.

NYPD has absolutely NO tolerance for that kind of crap....even if they’re on your side (I remember going down to Ground Zero when Imanutjob was supposedly going there to “pay his respects”).

There was no way in heck we were going to allow him to step foot on that sacred ground. We set up in front of the entrance, NYPD removed us, said we couldn’t set up shop there. So we moved ourselves away from the entrance, still within the “corridor”...again they moved us, said we had to be outside the “corridor”.

So we set ourselves up right at the corner of the “corridor”. They knew why we were there and agreed and were grateful. Some lost friends on 9/11. They KNEW if that a$$hole showed up, there would be big trouble.

Well, he didn’t show (Thank God because I probably would have been shot preventing him from stepping foot on that ground).

Point is, NYPD does NOT put up with ANY protest crap....they like to “pen us in”....even did so at our protest the mosque at Ground Zero. Also at the Israel Parade. Since I had a sign, I was considered a “protester” and had to stand in the “protester pen”.

I was actually shocked when I learned there were anti-Israel protesters there.

Were you put through the same hazing process when you were new? I mean, the first few times someone said “noob” it was sorta funny, in a kind of sad and pathetic sort of way, but the funny part is gone.

Well, you are an extremely new noob. You will be considered suspect for quite some time, so get used to it.

Is that the culture around here? Paranoid and proud of a sign-up date as if it represents an actual life accomplishment? Be mean to new people? Shut your eyes and ears to anything that doesn’t come from a pre-vetted source?

You do realize that those are traits of dying cultures right?

"Is that the culture around here?"

Yes. Due to the many noob trolls, anyone noobie is treated the same.

If you are here for true intentions, you will last. If not, you won't.

Any established FReeper (although, there are some who have been here for years who come "out of the closet" and are immediately terminated) will see a disagreement from a noobs post as a threat.

That's just the way it is. Most noobs come here to cause trouble, which is why we are wary of them. If you are truly here because you believe this is the place for you, then you will take your lumps....as we ALL have.

If you are here to cause trouble, you WILL be singled out and Zotted by the Viking Kitties.

"Paranoid"....we are not paranoid. We get many a troll who sign up here just to cause trouble. We are our own gatekeepers.

No one is stopping you from leaving FR. FR is what it is. Accept it or leave. Only 2 options.

I was the 'new kid' at seven different schools growing up.
Didn't make me Samson, but you learn to stand your ground or lose it.
And while being callously 'mean' is usually a sign of one flavor or another of loser,
whining about it or venturing outdoors with too-thin skin will only make things worse.
It's human nature.
Full stop.

EVERY 'culture' in existence is reticent toward noobs in their midst.
One gains respect and trust by earning it, and that has little to do with signup dates.
We've had some true @holes w/90s signups that have (rightfully) gotten the zot.
So join the team, show you're for real, and you'll never have to worry about that.

Suck it up, climb back in the saddle, give as good as you get, and welcome to FR - best conservative site on the interwebs.

Fair enough. I’m gonna be who I am and if people don’t like it, fine, the Internet is full of places I can rant about stuff I’m pissed off about.

No, darlin’. That isn’t mean. Someone needs to kick arse and take names. NYPD, as far as I am concerned, has been baptized by fire. Literally. They will not take any crap.

You should be who you are. Have you looked at the many threads here on FR where we “battle” each other? (one bit of advise...stay AWAY from the Religion Forum)
The thing is.....back up what you say. We all LOVE links. Then we’ll provide a thousand different links to either back up yours or go against it, lol.

If you are pro-America, you’ll last here. Believe it or not, you will be calling the “noobs” noobs after a few years.

You probably don’t believe it now, but save this post for your first “noob” attack, lol.

No offense/omission intended !

There are pockets of resistance around every major urban area.  And come SHTF day, some will stay regardless, but a lotta those folks might find that being relatively safe with their own kind beats being firebombed or flashmobbed at the fancy museum/art gallery/opera house.

Because in the end, there are no cultural venues without a viable civilization underpinning them, and the goal of this marxist filth is to unleash the savages to destroy that very foundation.

Which is why I am SO looking forward to having that day off and watching the NYPD handle these idiots!

Tents for goodness sacks? Tents? I truly hope these idiots go into NYC with their tents.

I plan on making a special BEEF filled meal to sit and watch.

Now, that IS mean, but tough noogies. We all make our beds we must lie in them.
