With shop owners still surveying their losses in the wake of the riots in Great Britain, American radicals are preparing for their own “spontaneous” demonstrations against U.S. capitalism. September 17th has been designated a “Day of Rage,” in which demonstrators are encouraged to occupy Wall Street.
The highly organized effort comes complete with a web site, Facebook page, Twitter campaigns, and detailed instructions on the proposed occupation of the financial capital of the world. And this doesn’t come from a few disaffected societal dropouts either. The national web site and movement has close ties with leaders of major U.S. unions such as the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) and founders of ACORN.
While the web site for Day of Rage makes numerous allusions to non-violence, everything about it indicates the group is looking to incite as much reaction as possible. For example the web site proclaims, “US Day of Rage is non violent. Violence is behavior involving physical force intended to hurt, damage, or kill someone or something.” However, headings on the same page include:

Forget “plastics”. I should have gone into the ammunition business.
Bring your day of rage down here in the South, and see how far you get........
I don’t think the NYCPD will be melting into the landscape like the London Bobbies did. The outcome could be much different.
WE own guns. And we ain't afraid to use them to protect our property.
Judas Priest.

This will be nothing compared to the rage that will ensue the day after obama is thrown out of office. I’m looking forward to it.
NYCPD is SEIU, I believe. They could very well be part of the riot, err demonstration.
He has already been inherently doing that by signaling, through Holder, that none of their racist violence will be prosecuted.
There is also the inherent threat that anyone who fights back will be prosecuted for a “hate crime”.
I thought that ‘inciting to riot’ was a crime. Isn’t it??
Only if you are a cracker.....
Is inciting to riot a crime? I don’t know, so let’s ask the Attorney General.
Let this day of rabies happen anywhere else but a completely disarmed and demoralized city and that shiftless scum would be too scared to even contemplate it.
If the badges of new york aren’t leashed by government officials, I’m still betting the police union will strongly suggest to their members that they should be much too sick to play that particular week.
It will be interesting to see how New York's finest deal with this.
From “Hope and Change” to “A Day of Rage”...the only way the marxists can hope to remain in power is by creating violence. Think Cloward-Piven...
